I started the metal work for my boyz trukk this week. Here's the steps I use.<br /> <br /> I sprayed the panels that are going to be mostly red with Testors Flat Red enamel in two very light coats, then go over all the details I want to be metal with Chaos Black.<br /> <br /> <img width="500"...

<p>Hmmmm - what to blog about first? Codex or models? It's been a while since I posted pictures so I 'll talk about models. Besides, everyone would rather look at pictures than read, right?<br /> <br /> I picked up the new Ork Bikes and the Trukk this weekend and I have to say it - I like Games...

<p>Alright, I'm kinds just burning time here while I wait for the new models to arrive. Bikes, Trukks and Shokk Attack Guns - Oh My! The holidays are over so I can start devoting a little more time to army painting. I'm starting to fill some points out with a Big Gunz unit. I figure I'll just...

HI All CMON\'ers! I\'m on a team that competes yearly in a friendly trivia contest done over the radio. During the contest they ask questions from a packet of pictures they give out when the teams register, kinda like a visual scavenger hunt. We\'ve got info on a bunch of them but there\'s half...

<p>Well, we're in the middle of the holiday season and been away from the net for a while. here's the lowdown on giftage, which seems to be the topic these days.</p><p>Box of Ork Boys<br /> A cool toy truck to loot for the orks<br /> Enough money to buy the codex, 3 Biker Boxes, two Trukks and...

Hi Everyone! This one is directed more to the people living in the UK (I\'m in the US) although I\'ll take help/hints/pointers from anyone, anywhere. Does anyone recognize this picture? Weird Pipe Map It looks to me some kind of map of a water system maybe and I\'m assuming it\'s in London as...

<p>I went through my army list recently and found I have 6 extra poitns to spend (how did that happen?) so I chose to add a Grot Oiler for the Big Mek. As most ork players do, I havea ton of grot models - both plastic, second edition and 1st/3rd/4th edition metals. I dug through the collection a...

<p>I promised new photos when I was done (and brought home the good camera) and here they are. Stormboy Nob, Big Shootas, and the Killer Kans Squadron. Eagle eye viewers will note the missing rokktis on the black kan. I was missing it until today - my bad. Click Kans pic for larger one.<br />...

<p>&nbsp;I finished off the second Killer Kan last night (except I forgot the handle in the top hatch - arg) and now I'm on to the third one. I find myself rushing a bit since I feel pressed for time before the tournament (in two weeks). I know, two weeks is a lot of time for some, but those who...

While helping newcomers to CMON with tips to improve their painting skills, I got to thinking about the question of \"what makes me qualified to give help?\" Well, the answer is I\'ve got a somewhat decent average here, but also, it\'s where I got my help and how I improved, CMON that is. I...

I made progress this weekend on the &quot;white&quot; Kan. I feel like I'm closer to what I'm looking for on the worn, white panels but not there yet. I think I need to tint it with the&nbsp;&nbsp; pastels/pigments. I'm not sure why I'm hesitant to just do a wash.&nbsp; I think it might be that...

I've started the second Kan in my Killer Kans squadron. This one is based on a Dreadnought I saw on ebay once (dang, wish I would have saved the image!). The main color scheme was a dark red and dirty white with metallics and was pretty cool, in my book. The idea I'm going for here is not one of...

<p>Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! <br /> </p> <p>I finally sat down and forced myself to start back up on the killer kan mob for Red Jack. This one is the &quot;Eavy Metal Killa Kan. This one is mostly steel and brass with some red panels attached for the glyphography (a real word?)</p> <p> This...

Is it just me, or is it nearly impossible of late to get someone who can do something to the site? I\'m currently \"suspended\" from my blog, even though I\'m a supporter and I\'ve sent a few emails and posted to some different tech forums here about it for help. It also seems that no can...

I seemed to have gotten a bit more time to paint this weekend and took good advantage of it. The next models in my mini hopper are the Big Shoota Kommandos. I plan to use them to support shootas more than Kommandos though. <br /> <br /> I'm really liking the &quot;painting on metallics&quot...

I said the next post would be of the finished Stormboy Nob, and it is. Along with freaking out and speeding up the end process when doing a mini, I also get apprehensive about the quality of work, second guessing if it's going to look at least as good as the last one. When it's all said and done...

<p>I found myself, as so many times in the past, rushing to finish up this mini because I want to see it fully assembled and finished. I have problems sometimes seeing the whole when I'm only working on parts.&nbsp; Also so I can move on to the next thing I'm all excited for. Well, not really...

<p>I finished up the wires and control box and moved on to the pants. I guess I don't paint as fast (or as well) as some bloggers but I'm working on it :)</p><p>I've come to realize that large, open surfaces area my achilles heel right now. I don't seem to have the right dilution for smooth...

I started the body details last night. Leather straps and the jump pack controls were all I got done, almost. I didn't want just a drybrush metal over black to define the box and controls, I wanted something that would stick out a bit. I did a &quot;black&quot; box look so had to highlight it...
