this blog is to remember my veteran grandpa that died of breast cancer in vietnam while holding a fish. but on a completely unrelated note i've entered a painting competition and im using the new necron immortal/deathmark. its a single model category and i have 2 weeks to paint him. being the procrastinator that i am this will be extremely difficult. i should (which is a subtle way of saying i wont) have him based/assembled by tommorrow

Im sorry to hear of your grandpa, my third cousings fathers best friend named Bret found a fish in vietnam. That fish stole all of Brets money and later ran off with his wife.

Now stop interweb surfing and get your but in that painters chair, I demand pictures by the end of Monday or I will revive that fish and you shall know what a funky smell truely is.

terribly sorry about pictures just got a new job and things are rushed so on with the pics

base unpainted



base painted!




im still not sure if i want to paint the head separately or not yet


ill post some test models shortly so keep coming!

The Base looks really good, can't wait to see the model

yeah im adding marble effects and OSL ill post some test models

Too cool. The base is awesome. I've got several little tubs of slate that I had no idea what to do with and you just gave me a couple ideas. Thanks!

Good luck!

so clearly these are test model and thus the quality is no where near what it will be on the model

marble effects

osl effects (promise itll be better)

and first coat on the necron!!


so i cant decide what color the marble will be what color do you think it should be? (the metal will be dark and osl will be blue)

I would say just regular white marble could work

Looks Cool!
