Eiji the Samurai

Just a first pic before I start to paint him, I intend to try to make a step by step 'how I paint my models' for some people at the club.

New army case

Got me a new case for my thingies! A bit heavy, but way cooler than the two gw cases. Plus its room for more books and stuff too.

Russian tank!

As the start of a quite large project the t34 rolls into the workspace. There will be two more vehicles in the diorama, one quite large and german, king tigers are small by the way... ;-)

Museum time!

This week I went to Karlstad for a little buisness and quality time with my brother, we visited a military museum and I thought you would perhaps be interested in a picture or two.
Enjoy!

Bushido board pt 3

Onwards to painting! A good base paint of brown mixed with a little grey will be a solid base to work  with.

Half-painted..

And fully painted. after it dried a bit more the tiles were a bit more visible.

There is a Bushido tournament in Gothenburg at the end of november, I have ordered another model so I can have 45 rice/points if I can find time to get there, I will also bring my table as well!

Bushido board pt 2

The board is getting more attention than ever.

Starting with adding filler with the best tool availible.

Give it a good rough handling and be sure to use a lot of filler to get it in every tiny gap of the foam. 

After smearing filler all over the board, I brushed everything to give it better texture than my fingers did, I did it extra rough over the tiles to get them visible again.

Then I dipped the brush in water to make the filler a little more fluid, it had gotten a bit hard since I began and also to brush the tiles again with water to make them even more visible.

I mixed in a bit of fine aquarium sand with filler and water and brushed the rivers with this.

After the messy messy filler part was done I poured fine sand over the board, especially over the rivers.

While waiting for the filler to dry I played a game of X-wing, a tight game with my opponent manouvered very good and was everywhere and avoided crashing with a few millimetres every turn. But the last two turns my ships went bananas and critically hit everything and evaded almost anything coming  their way, and the Tie's were reduced to space rubble. 

Better luck next time, Empire.

After wiping the floor/space with my opponent I shaked all excess sand of the board and waited for some paint to come it's way, more of that next time!
