				<title>Vespa's painting blog - Fortified Monestry WIP and other stuff.</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ So I thought I'd start a post here for somewher to put pictures of my stuff. Hopefully I'll get some feedback to help me improve etc. I'm a relatively new painter, hooked on this plastic crack for about a year and a half. I don't really play except for the occational casual game with my son (who is the one that got me hooked.) I don't collect any particular army, I just paint what takes my fancy at the time.<br /> <br /> My main project at the moment is a display scenery piece for my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40K</span> display shelf. This will be a centrepiece and background for all of my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(3);'>40K</span> models. The concept is that it is a Dark Angels Fortified Monestry being defended by a small band of <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(25);'>DAs</span> (The <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> set for now) against all comers (my Orks, Tyranids, and of coarse the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> Chaos) with a few Ultramarine reinforcements. And whatever I add to my collection in the future.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a310/scotttnz/Minis/P1020278.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <br /> It's made out of a Bastion, Shrine of the Aquila, and Basilica Administratum with some plasticard and other bits and pieces thrown in.<br /> <br /> This weekend I have finished assembly of the main pieces, made all the extra walls and things out of plasticard, and undercoated the whole lot with Army Painter Angels Green. Then I base coated the Aquila with Calatham Brown, the added 2 coats of Dwarf Bronze and a Nulin Oil wash. I've also done a bit of highlighting since the photo was taken.<br /> What you see in the photo is in 4 pieces, plus the board. I'll keep it like that for ease of handling while I'm painting it, then probably glue it all together. I still have a long way to go.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a310/scotttnz/Minis/P1020288.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <br /> I'm also working on finishing the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(505);'>AOBR</span> Orks, and of course the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> set. Here is my first <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(437);'>DV</span> model. I'm not happy with the face (if any one can point me a tutorial for faces that would be great) but other than that I like it.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a310/scotttnz/Minis/ppecapt.jpg" border="0" />]]></description>
