I've been working on this for way too long and have to just call it!

Omigod why are the pictures so big!? I can see every imperfection!

Mini painters everywhere getting increasingly bitter about the picture quality of modern phones 😂

Awesome work though, I assure you I can see no imperfections.

I declared temporary victory over the Asuryani and moved to clearing the Fronteris terrain off my backlog. I thought I'd be able to proudly show it off without much effort - it's just a base coat and pick out some metalic detail, how long could it take?

Well I used a full pot of Creed Camo in about 24 hours, and still have two large pieces to base coat. Not sure I have enough paint left to fix the misses on the pieces I did get basecoated, so it all might have to wait for an Osu run*.

It doesn't look like much but the old Killzone Fronteris really does work out to a lot of terrain. I will need a small barrel of Creed Camo when the next Kill Team FOMO box hits with even more of the stuff!


*Ring Tail could have it to me tomorrow but I just did a paint order from them so there's not much else left I'd want to make free shipping.

Awesome work. The blue-grey on the feathers goes very well with the green cloak.

It's Morgana Le Fay from Bigchild Creatives' Echoes of Camelot series.

Well I got this far today at least.

I think it will pack more efficiently than the Warcry stuff and more importantly make for a bit of a change.

I share your pain.

Good one Grant. You put down some nice, clean lines. It would be easy enough to go back and work up the contrasts and edges when you feel your mojo is up to it. What scale is she?

@Jye- the big Bic Camera near Nagoya Station, (not the Gate Tower shop, the other one) has a rack of Citadel paints. If it happens to be more convenient than Osu.

And if I never see another hussar it will be too soon.
It is easy to forget how spoiled we are with our fancy, high-tech plastic miniatures these days. Big,heavy metal, multi-part figures are a royal pita.
