Flying high

Howdy,

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer, I know I am. The only down side to a great summer is that the hobby time tends to decrease.

I also find that I begin to start lots of projects and have lots at my work desk that just needs finishing off. At which point, typically, more wolves are released and I want them all!!

So painting wise I've been tinkering with an Imperial Guard pilot.

Secret Cargo

The pilot was from a polar auction site win where I bought a job lot and found this guy headless and armless. So I set about using a scout bolt pistol and a random guardsman head to build him back up.

Overall I'm pleased with the paint job, 

greatcoat and armour contrast brilliantly and I like the vials or data cards that he is transporting.

 Here he is with some of his buddies!

Till next time. It has been a pleasure writing this blogpost whilst watching Ironman 3 :D

The First Post

Hey,

This is the first post in what I'm hoping will be a regular thing. I'd like this to be a record of a hobby that started in the early 1990's and then after a long break began again in 2012. From time to time I'll also stick stuff of general interest to me here too.

So whats the hobby? Well its miniature painting, specifically Warhammer 40,000. To be honest I am not interested in the gaming side, just the painting and modelling. Here are a few images of what i've been upto so far.
