Milmaa’s hobby project.

Busy week hobby-wise and again it kicked off on Saturday morning with the Weekender. Love watching and listening to the shows while painting or building models!

First up is the Death Guard. I’been working on a number of Plague Marines along with some Poxwalkers.

I also received my order of stuff that will go alongside my Conquest and Dark Imperium Death Guard….

Excited to start work on them but, have made a deal with myself that I will complete what i have built first….

Poxwalkers pretty much done 🙂

I have always wanted to try out the new GW painting handles… So I started work on the first Conquest Ultramarine.

Its GREAT! I have always blue-tacked my models to bottle tops to paint… But this handle is so comfortable, and the model is much more stable and secure! I will certainly be picking up a couple more when I can.

Well finished off these 8 marines, and well the varnish frosted slightly on them…. was quite annoyed, but some gloss varnish touch ups and I think they turned out alright!

I think the big axe fella might be my favourite so far!

I have 5 more marines to work on through the week as well as 6 more poxwalkers!

Something Ive been wanting to look into for ages was my lighting situation, Ive found with the dark evening coming in its been harder to get some painting done when I get home from work.

This lamp was handy, and pretty cheap on Amazon, but the connection wasn’t great, if it moved the light flickered or shut off. It did  good job for me over the last few years but its time for a change.

I picked up this floor lamp from a tattoo supplier, was £120 so a lot more expensive, but if it enables me to keep working on my hobby in the winter months it will have been worth it!

The light it gives is fantastic, its adjustable and on the floor. That means it frees up some space on my desk as well! Win win so far.

I’m very happy with this change, and hope to add a couple more to my hobby area shortly. Better paint storage is next on the cards.

I had these pretty much finished last weekend, but due to being ill this week I’ve not managed to update anything on here yet.

So without further ado …

Finally got some more paint storage area set up, will just need to full out my collection now!

2 very cheap nail polish racks I picked up on eBay! Just enough space to have them side by side on the wall. Cant recommend them enough, seem to fit every kind of paint pot that I have! (Citadel , Vallejo, AK Interactive)

I sold most of my old 2nd edition 40k stuff to a local club when I was in school and moving house. I wish I hadn’t of course but moaning now wont bring them back!

I did however a couple of years ago call into the club and the guy who ran it was able to give me one of my old Space Wolves back! Posting it here to show after watching this weekends Weekender!

Slow progress with work getting in the way this last week but I have managed to get a few more Plague Marines finished…

Again the simple method for these, but they turn out nasty enough for Nurgles finest! Again as normal I have tried to hide the fact that they are duplicate figures buy adding these slightly different weapons and heads.
