I airbrushed the tank in a light coat of black paint and then worked on getting some grey shades and highlights in. I also added some extra black around the bottom of the areas of the tank. That’s the airbrush done now (I think) – time to now remove all the masking and the salt…!

This is a plastic kit – a new style one packed in a blister, and it was an absolute joy to work … More And now for something completely different… a Wight King

I love it even more when people think outside the box… and I don’t mean cramming the largest rock possible on top of the 50mm base and slapping a huge monster on there. Here is an example of something which … More Amazing Duel
