I tried a different approach to painting heads. Im trying for more of a pale look. I used tallern flesh and mixed SW grey in for highlights. I also tried to do stubble. It's my first attempt and i think i just need more practice.



let me know what you think and which you like best? any links to good tutorials on faces and hair would be great.

I like the two guys on the outside. The stubble looks pretty convincing.

Contestants 1 and 5. The stubble looks excellent. They are excellent '5 o'clock shadow' and 'just buzzed' scalp.

Ok here no 1 and 5 on the body:

Hey guys, So I have been out of the scene for a while. I havent even had a game in 6th ed yet.

So Yesterday I decided to pack up all my WH40K stuff. It took me over 4 hours.

On march 11th all my stuff will be going to a good home.

Sorry to hear that styro. Been fun watching you grow & improve. You made a lot of progress.

No no, I didn't quit the hobby or the game... I just bought my first house!!

I get possession on March 11th.

Ha ha "going to a good home" Tee hee hee

It has a nice bedroom in the basement that Im going to make it my games room. There is enough space for a game table and my painting area.

My only problem is ventilation. There is no windows in that room. I might have to do the air brushing in the garage or laundry room.

But until then its all packed up and no updates for a while. but I will still be lurking.

Ah... that goodness! Well, congratulations are in order then! Enjoy your new digs my friend!

Thanks Gits I have soo many plans for it.

Cogratulations on your first house!!

I've been out of painting for quite a few months now but reading this thread and watching you build Huron's finest has made me want to paint my Red Corsairs again. So thank you for re-igniting my 40k spirit.

Thanks for the kind words. As soon as I get set up again I'll get back to it!!

Next Monday I get the keys to my First home!!



I cant wait

Looks beautiful Styro, congratulations!! Now... how 'bout an actual pic of how it looks now... burried in 3' of snow!

ha ha Too True! I will get you one on Monday

Congrats on the new game room!

Sweet heads, viking corsairs, im all in

Yay a new fan, Thanks

Take all the ideas you want. I took quite a few of them from other people.

Tomorrow is moving day

So, I'm Moved in... Still alot of unpacking to do.

Here's Shots of the house with the stang in the drivway!




I put my desk in the garage with the compressor and air brush. I need a new desk for the game room i have in the basement for the rest of my painting. This room has no exhaust or windows so no air brushing here. Right now that room is the storage room for all the boxes.

So... are we showing off the house or the car?

Both. His ego deserves it. He has that badass ride and awesome digs as well? The only thing missing from that pic is his hottie trophy wife. And a new Land Raider kit.

LOL... There's a new Land raider kit??!!

Wait till I get my new air brush and my new desk ... etc.
Then you'll really be drooling!

As most of you who follow my thread know that I'm on a bit of a hiatus due to the recient move. I haven't stopped lurking tho, I'm always reading at work.

Anywho, I'm Slowly unpacking and I have a clean slate for a games/painting room. I would love to hear your Ideas.
My orginal desk is now in the garage where I'll be doing the Air brushing (This room has no windows or any ventilation). I have no Idea where to start and I dont what to clutter the room either. I'd like it effecient as well. When I have the layout and some money i'll renovate the room to add an exhaust or window.

I have no work table, no storage units, nothing. I want to have the greatest gaming/painting of ALL TIMES!!

Room dimensions are 13'-11" X 10'7".
So I Guess what Im asking is; what do you have in your painting station? What would you want if you had the space? or any Ideas?

Post phots of your stations or links to products or even PM me if you dont want to post it here.

Thanks ahead of time.

No suggestions? pics, Ideas?

You don't want to emulate my mess.

LOL.

My last area was a total mess, i could barely paint on it. this time I want to start right and avoid that if I can. But I dont know where to start.

Lighting... it's the basis for everything.
