Finally got around to tinkering along and painting the slann mage priest.
New Slann Mage Preist
Jagdpanzer iv/70 – speed build
Ok here is a very long artical about a very quick build.
I recorded how long I worked on these models.. not in one continuous activity but in snippets of work.
SO here goes
11:50 unpack blisters
The 5 tanks in blisters.. these are OOP now.
Cleaning up the parts of flash
11:37 clean tracks
11:45
After washing then drying them in the sun on a towel.
12:15
Priming the tracks.
Note I did not prime the hulls because the resin is dark grey and this saves time.
12:30 – 1:00
Base coating in dukelgelb with airbrush
Base coating the hulls
1:25 – 1:45
Gluing on the tracks to the hulls
1:25 – 1:30
Using a template mask to paint the green camouflage but only on the hull and not on the road wheels.
Green on
Brown on
1:30 finish
2:30 – 3:10 – painting tracks
Hatches on
7:00 – 8:30 — painting tracks and fluffing around with fix ups and barrel painting and magnets
9:00 am next morning — 9:45 detailing
Gluing on magnets for holding the barrels
Fitting barrels and fixing he weak set. The magnets were too small for he weight of the barrels
6:45pm — 7:00 pm green stuff barrels.
Still some stuff to go… but otherwise looks like it has taken 5hrs50 mins
That’s an average of 1 hour and ten minutes each.
If only Willy could save all these Orcs?
Last weekend I decided to get a wriggle on and get some more figures .. mostly done.
I wanted to do something quick and Orcs seem to be easy to paint.. and they are.
These are not highlighted but seriously some of them don’t need it.
Many have no weapon as these are all second hand figs that I have stripped , re primed and now painted.
There are others that need arms sculpted on and I have decided to do that later… crazy I know.. but I wanted it now…
Anyways… on with he pictures.. as per usual..
Hand weapon and shield warriors group 1
Hand weapon and shield warriors group 2
Spear armed warriors group 3
Two handed weapon warriors group 4
two handed weapon warrior, Spear armed warriors (Spear fixed up by adding a blade so could be a two handed weapon or spear really. The third one needs arms added and weapon as conversion)
These three are really interesting… these are Uruk-Hai. I trimmed off the big engineers helmets and segmented armour to make them look like leather bodice, two of them need weapons added. I may beat some copper wire flat to make crude swords..thats another article.
Two handed weapon warrior fixed up to make as a spear
Flash mob photo…
There you have it 24 Orcs… is that 2 Dozen or a a pod?
Now all I nee is a little Hobbit.. called Willy maybe even…
one eyed Willey …
