Thanks for the advice guys, I might even look at doing my painting more like Ramos, doing some commissions to sate my interest and try new things, plus I can use it to acquire funds to buy myself some toys if I do indeed find something I want to do :-)

I have some more Orboros models to paint now thanks to Gits, he was sending them as a gift as i'm doing some work for him but I had beaten him to the punch by telling him I was going to gift him the models I painted for Orboros lol! so now I get to have the fun of painting them up and also the fun of returning them to a young man who can use them to crush his foes!

as well as the Orboros, I got a bunch of boxes of Admech to assemble and paint, so stage 1 is under way, we'll be going with the candy red armour and tarnished metals and I should have them all done in a few weeks then on to the Reaver when it arrives :-)

Looking amazing already, loving what you've done with the wings.

Lots of stuff to catch up on. Lovely work, Nerdy.

You painting Gits Reaver? Did I miss something?

You bet I am!

Sweet. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the Reaver.

Very cool.. I be interested in the step by step since it's such a unique model. Are you magnetizing the weapons?

Gorgeous Damo, really fantastic work. Whenever you paint I wanna paint lol.....I will say I'm not huge with warmahordes because I don't really love the fluff or the sculpts. I love the game though, it's really fun. I do have some troll kin lying about that someday I'll get to if I ever get full on into the game. Cheers bud, love the new pics..

Thanks guys! here have a Griffon

beautiful little model to paint, the proportions are much better than some others, he did give me much more scope to try different colours and a little more blending which turned out quite decent, love to see what you think of this one I didn't have any liquid greenstuff so please my apologies for the small neck gap!








not much coming up for the next few days apart from assembling Admech like there's no tomorrow

A WMH model that looks quite reasonable? Well I never... great paintjob!

Beautiful paint work Damo... though you did miss a mold line on it's right shoulder and bicep.

Amazing stuff!

Thanks guys, he looks pretty decent next to the Gorax from before, makes me keen to do some more and see what i can come up with ;-) I know there's a line on his arm, I did miss that until the pics but it's not too bad in hand so I won't scrape any paint and re do it at this stage. I really enjoyed the wings, they were a bit of fun and if I was to paint them again i'd go deeper into detail and spend much more time on them but as they are I think they add a nice bit of colour :-)

no paint at the moment, just assembling some stuff........

Lovely work indeed. The blending on the wings looks amazingly effective. That model would make a nice little Daemon Prince for Tzeentch, actually....

Lovely stuff! Like other's have said, the feathers look beautiful. Love the other subtle details like the lighter skin on the palms, the dirty nails and muddied feet. Great job.

He WOULD make for a good Tzeentchian prince!?.....hmmmmm

Nice work on Birdman (or is he Manbird?), looks great.

The blue on parrot boy's wings is really very nice mate !

Really love how you've painted this guy. the skin tones are lush and the blue effect you've done on the wings.....absolutely stunning. lovely work as ever Nerdy

Not miniature related but I'm guessing a few of you guys would appreciate this

I've recently bought a Nintendo64 console which my mates and I used to play a LOT when we were in our early 20's and i'm really loving the level of fun that's so easily migrated to present day! my best mate and I started our rivalry as soon as we got back onto those controllers first we played Mario Kart and I whooped him every time, races, battles you name it I beat him which only added fuel to the smack talkin' fire he plays Princess Peach and i'm always Wario, so i trawled the web for memes on Peach and Wario then proceeded to flood him with message after message one night until about 2am then I went online and bought a Princess peach T-shirt which I hid at home under the couch until the race he beat me, there was much jumping from the couch and pointing at me while screaming 'Finally, got you you prick' I then casually reached under the couch and threw the 'prize' at him...... needless to say our rivalry is still strong.

next up we started the amazingly fun and addictive Perfect Dark a-thon Oh boy this is where it gets serious! since we can save our battles and increase in ranking it's a very serious game now so much cursing and laughter just because I killed my best mate with multiple head shots from a tranquilizer gun last time he arrived to play some PD I dressed in combat gear and a balaclava mimicking the clothes you can wear in game then ran out my front door and spun in circles ran into the wall a few times and slapped him like a novice playing the game with no gun (trust me that was funnier in person)

So, next time I've got 4 bunches of bananas i'll peel and lay banana peels all down my driveway and down the street Ala Mario kart

But the best one is under construction! I've a friend making me a custom pair of purple overalls and i've bought a Wario hat/shirt/gloves/shoes to make a sweet costume (thanks China), I also bought two large plush 'Red Shells' as you know these are potent weapons in the game! , Now, Adam works at a bottleshop with a drive through part (you can see where i'm going with this) So the plan is to get dressed up and run through the drive through laughing like Wario and throwing red shells at him before shouting "Imma Gonna Win!!" and running off into the distance!

I do realise this isn't the normal behavior for a 35 year old man but eh!.... it's gonna get a laugh

Ah that brings back memories.

Perfect Dark with 18 meat heads vs two of us and you set one of them to legendary status and try hold out as best you can.

It is perfectly normal.

Glad i'm not alone I chucked a 'perfect sim' in and used fly by wire rockets...... didn't end well

I want to live in Nerdyville, any houses around there?

ah good times . I love good pranks and sight gags .you need to have someone video you doing the wario drive by and then link it here. Also get the window writing paint at your local gift shop and write princess peach on his cars rear window while he is sleeping. When he wakes up in the morning and jumps in the car to go to work he'll see it in the rear view mirror and if he is one of those last minute people he won't have time to clean it off his car before work.

Come on down! you'd find a home pretty easy in my state but you can always just stay in my spare room for a while

I'll see if I can get some video of the pranks as I go, just for his reactions if nothing else I'll also take your idea and pop some princess peach stickers on his car I also just bought a Princess Peach keyring but not sure what to do with it yet?

It paints or it gets the hose!

Stop all this silliness and get painting, naughty Nerdy...

Everyone seems a bit distracted at the moment, and it's weird because there are so many great things to build and paint right now. Seems to be a global thing as well. Got to say though the 64 is a worthy distraction.

I'm with Cam....what are you DOING over there Damo? You're making me nervous....

Well, I'm not sure how much internet he can get to at the moment, so I'll answer for him. Where Damo lives in Tasmania is getting wrecked by floods at the moment. Like, pretty hardcore. I had a quick chat with him yesterday, just to make sure he and his was ok, and he is. Sounds like he is on high-ground, so not hitting him directly, but it is, not surprisingly, effecting people he is close with.

Shoot! Thanks for the update whale. Damo best wishes, hope you guys are safe and sound and dry.

Crikey - just had a look at those vids. That's nuts. Best wishes and best of luck Nerdy - hope all is well with you and yours. Keep safe
