The Battle with Miniatures

Well, I've been at it again, buying something else before I have finished painting my other stuff. I bought this metal Biovore miniature. it was quite a bargain actually, as you get a few spore mines with it as well for the price, and it was surprisingly easy for me to put it together, but i did pin it while gluing, - something that I don't often have success with. I purposely put the fist so that it would touch the floor outside the base as I thought that was a nice effect to show how huge the beast was. I finished it last night, but the picture here just shows what it looked like before last night - like most of the macragge set - blood red with chestnut ink wash, and turquoise with a light blue lining. It looks much better than this picture now, but I'll save that for another day.

Had a good night of miniature preparation again tonight. I polyfiller'd the bases of all my models from last night (I fill the underside of the base with polyfiller, and then sand it flat - this gives the figure - especially plastic ones, a bit more weight when playing with them.) and then I removed all of my remaining marines (8) and genestealers (5) from their sprues, cleared their flash, washed them and mounted them, and sprayed them with undercoat - that was a boring but necessary job.

I would like to think I'd get these models finished by the end of the week - but I've got other commitments. I do feel I'm on a roll though at the mo.

I painted Games Workshop miniatures when I was a teenager, and have started painting them again since my son has become interested in them. After subscribing to Battle games in middle earth I thought I would try and blog my progress through trying to paint them all. This blog is just about miniatures, not about the rest of my life, I do other things!
