Ultramarine Librarian and Underwater Cave update

I made some progress on the Ultramarine Librarian in Terminator armor today. I have gotten him completed through the wash phase and am waiting for the primer on the base to dry so I can get him based and finish up.

While waiting for paint to dry I also began work on the underwater Cave terrain pieces. Nothing much to show right now, they still just look like pink foam. The first thing I did to them was to apply a coat of Mod Podge to the surface of the foam. I had tried to paint directly on the foam, but the foam was absorbing the paint and I was using too much paint to get good coverage. My hope is that the Mod Podge will fill in the porous surface of the foam and allow me to get a good even coat of paint on the surface. I will update when I find out if this worked or not.

Completed Ultramarines Chaplain and Terrain Painting Project

I have completed the first Individual Character in the Ultramarines project I am working on. I am quite pleased with how it came out.

The next character model will likely be a Librarian in Terminator Armor, so stay tuned for that. It might even happen over the weekend.

On another note I have decided on a paint scheme for the Underwater Cavern Terrain I won from Terrainaholic 

I am going to be painting half of it as a standard underground cavern, using photos of Carlsbad Caverns as inspiration. The other half is going to be painted in an ice cave theme. This is going to have a lot of blue and white. Stay tuned for this as well I plan on working on this over the weekend as well, to contribute to Terrainaholic's Build-a-thon weekend. If you are not familiar with Terrainaholic he is a long time terrain community supporter and inspiration. Check out his channel this weekend over on YouTube to see what he is building. I will also be posting videos in response to the build-a-thon of the projects I am working on.

That is all for now. Until then Thanks for reading. Feel free to follow the blog and comment.

Back to Work

Hello out there in wargaming land. It's been a while since i have posted here and wanted to let you know I am getting back to work. I am nearing completion on the rhino I posted previously and have some Ultramarines base coated and almost ready for washing. Here is the photographic proof that I have not been slacking.

I will be trying to get back to a regular posting schedule at least once maybe twice a week. Thanks for looking and have fun gaming.

Finished Ultramarine Terminators and Rhino WIP

I finished the Ultramarine Terminators I was working on for a friend's Christmas present. Here are the pics of the finished minis.

I guess you could say he was happy with the way they turned out. So happy in fact that I now have 2 Rhinos, 2 Drop Pods, a Land Raider, and a host of marines to paint for him. After taking the time to strip the previous layers of paint from the minis I have begun to work on the painting. I have primed, pre-shaded, and base coated one of the rhinos and the doors of one of the drop pods. 

There should be more to come soon. Thanks for reading. Followers and comments are always welcome.
