The Battle with Miniatures

 

Zed's Space Orcs Bike


Space Orcs Bike

When the family were in Games Workshop at the weekend, while Roo was ordering his Gandalf, Zed decided that he wanted to buy something. Of course this was a bit of a dilemma, because what do you buy a 4 year old that he can make himself?

Finally we came across an orc bike (sorry don't know the correct term for it) which was a plastic model. Zed carefully cut the pieces from the sprue and helped glueing it all together. But then he asked me to paint it for him. I didn't really know where to start, but a dry brush over the unercoat of various shades of metallic paint produced the results shown. I was really happy with the outcome, especially as it took less than 10 minutes to paint, and so was zed.

Of course I now have to do the Orc to ride it - which I'll wager will take me a lot longer.

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!
