I have started with 1:72 WWII Luftwaffe personnel by Airfix, 46 plastic models for £5, very cheap, like the old toys from my youth the plastic is very soft and has a wax like feel, so undercoating and cleaning has been really hard, I have found you have to cut the flash off files just rough up...

Hi all, been painting off and on but the last break was an extended one. I moved house and had nowhere at all to paint, but now I have a new flat and have my own little man space to call my own, so time to jump back in and see if these old eyes of mine still work. Long story short, after...

This is my latest work, I think it could be classed as finished, but I am not sure what do you think ? Its based off the fluff for The Dark wolves, Space wolves who turn to the dark side. So any comments on improving the painting, or how the conversion looks would be great, thank you! I hope...

Well its my lucky day, just been given 3 space ork Army deals! So I was thinking about skin colours.... Should I paint them the normal skin colour of green, or would it work if I pushed the boat out and did something different ? So.... do you have any pics of different painted orks, or what...

Thanks for poping in! Well straight to the point, I have been collecting and painting for 2-3 years now and its all been GW stuff, so that I could do some gaming and meet new people in the hobby etc... But to be honest I am thinking about a change to how I do my hobby, and not game as much but...
