That’s really well done! So vibrant!

Very true!

Two great things to be into!

Thanks! Hopefully I don’t mess it up haha

Funny! I read it as a Pokemon X Aztec reference with Rayquaza and Quetzalcoatl combined. Either way, it is a cool name.

Haha okay, I was starting to get worried that I would need to strip it and restart.

It’s not that bad is it?

Thanks! I love your username btw

Thanks mate! Will do! I couldn’t stop thinking about painting while at work today, this project has made me really keen to paint.

It was 100% worth it. The pic was just an extra. Being a huge LoTR fan made the trip to Hobbiton our top priority on this holiday.

We walked through it and it was beautiful on the inside. Although they split you up into two groups and each group goes through one of the holes. I would have preferred the other as it had a bee/honey theme and I love bees.

Great quote! I loved the movies since I was a kid so it was a real dream come true to see Hobbiton.

That’s a great point! I just found on my desk there was a little reliquary box with a red band around it that fell off the chain on his back, I think that but of colour would have helped break it up a bit.

The thing about making it black and white is such a good tip too. I will try that on my next one!

I have some more stuff posted here if you feel like taking a look!

Thanks!

I have no idea haha. I only started around this time last year and even then, I had so much anxiety about getting it right that I have only managed to paint a handful of models in that time.

I’m just kind of winging it but it seems easier to get to all the little hard to reach areas this way.

Thanks mate!

Thanks, that is very nice of you to say!

I have a bits box but it was just for the extra parts from the models, I will have to start hoarding little objects that seem useful now!

Detol is a great idea and easy to get, I will try that next time.

Another vote for Howling Griffons, maybe my chapter can just not have hot rod flames!

I will order some green stuff now.

Thanks again, so much good advice!

That first one is such a cool idea! I will have to remember that!

And I will try to not strip them fully next time, I was just worried it would show up some how.

Dark Angels are pretty sick, do they have any offshoots that use yellow?

I think I like them for orks or vehicles but not as much on armour but I can see the appeal. Quartered could be interesting!
