Maenas not so difficult it is one hour to and one hour from work and I can read a book on the train for 40 min so it dont feel like wasted time. but ofcourse it is always nicer with a job closer too home.

Some practice on NMM technique

Home sick and taken some time this morning to practices doing some NMM, spent around 30 min on this shoulder to get a feel for it. will work more on it to make it better. Basically i am using stippling with some glazing. and going forward and back with those techniques too achieve this result.

Thanks for comments, I have done some more on the forgeworld and frog is soon finished :)
but I want too show something else, I have been testing to build and paint structures on fabrics on a figure, this is meant to be old leather. Big picture below to show the details.

If I do this again I will use less paint to build smaller structure from the begining, I feel they are a little big in some areas. in others it is just perfect.

Working on the last things on the frog before Monte next week, Yes it will finally be finished :) I have made some metal parts and shirt and shoulder pad is started. what i s left? some leather part should be redone, work more on metal parts and shoulder pad. also the googles need to be fixed.

Need a base also... I am confident that I will have something to present down in Italy.

Anyone else going? would be nice too meet up with someone from here.

Hey Kretcher! That NMM practice looks really cool, almost like true metallic. Really interesting technique with some intriguing results. Would love to see some more tests.
