Artimis Vergadin Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hello all! Went into my local GW today and found they are having a painting competition. Categories include: Forge World (anything with FW on it, will be split between Bitz and all Resin Models) - Entering my Termie Squad WIP - COMPLETED 40k Special Charatacter - Entering Xavier Warhammer Boat - Entering a...erm boat (expect no pics) - COMPLETED Kill Team - Entering Fire Drake Squad - COMPLETED Path to Glory WarBand - Entering Nothing Ok, so I've got 2 weeks to paint a 5 man Fire Drake Squad (estimated week and a half) and Xavier. The termie squad has one model left scheduled to finish tomorrow. The fire drake squad has no progress. Needs to be built and painted. Xavier needs to be stripped and re-painted. Probably gonna try NMM on him. The Boat...well nothing on this as it is done and I can't post pics or updates here. This thread will document my progress and aftermath. Wish me luck!

Artimis Vergadin Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hangin' in my spurs this time mates. :) An accident happened, my little cousin knocked the lysander model off the shelf, severing it from the base. Gauging out the armor and face full of chips. :( I have one day left and I know a miracle will not happen. His armor is done, but the face is ground 0 as is everything else. His arms went to the oven cleaner and got stripped. Alas mates, I'm callin' it a draw. He will not be done for the competition. :P Pity Xavier didn't arrive, I could have finished him then, trying to dos Lysander was to much of a stretch to paint in 3 days. I'd never painted yellow before, so that was a big mistake...maybe I'll finish him in the future, but not this day. :( Artimis Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86812-diary-of-painting-comp-prep/#findComment-1015097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWOL Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 What were you doing for that crew-cut looking hair? Just a dry brush of gray? I've wanted to try something like that for a while now, but I'm not sure how to do it.
