Gareths 2014 Thread.

Right starting this year, I have been working on the High Elves, which after playing Alan requires a change. Anyway last night I had a bit of a tidy up, of the painting area, so I thought I would show you, the new set up.

Things of note.

At the top of the screen, under the light from my Lamp, is a print out of all the colours, I will be using, on each section. It means I will not forget what paints to use.
Top right, the chart with colours on is the GW old paint to new conversion chart, with above that a list of all shop available GW paints, for me to look at.
The blue box, at the front of the desk, is my wet palate, and i will have to do a step by step on making one, at some point. So far after 25 hours, a colour I mixed is nearing finally drying out. So they really are great, if you find that paints dry out to fast.

Would be interested in knowing how you made the wet palate. I have progressed from the top of a paint pot lid which seemed to dry out really fast to an old china plate, which is a lot better.

[Simian]

i would be too.

looks far too organised for me.

Looks like a lid off something with a sponge and grease proof/baking paper?

great idea tho!

Nearly Rob. It is actually a small really useful box. Although I did have use a plastic takeaway tub in the past. However I did find that too deep.

You did miss the all important step of adding kitchen towel over the sponge. makes sure all of the paper is in contact with a damp material.

OK guys. First partly completed models. Way behind on where I intended to be, but here are the crew for my Eagle Claws. I still need to base these guys up, but more or less finished with them.
