ClawLeader:
Bad news. Working on my new test mini didn’t come out the way I liked so I have to scrap, strip the paint and start over.
Also for whatever reason I am having issues painting the scale mail on the shaker crew. It’s not coming out even or good at all no matter what…
DAGabriel:
Looking good so far, what is the problem with the mail?
ClawLeader:
With the way the scales are the paint pools on the the tips of each scale and leaves a murky looking mess near the recesses. Now this really shouldn’t be an issue, but apparently I can’t just seem to get it to work right.
Armor is usually way easier than this, but today the stunties have proven otherwise.
Abecedar:
Would that be from the paint being too thin?
ClawLeader:
I think you’re right. Now all I need to do is strip the paint and redo them. As far as an issue I will be departing overseas here in a bit, and coming back late summer.
ClawLeader:
I am in japan guys, so just letting you know I am alive. Just did green stuff work prior to leaving, letting you know I exist still
ClawLeader:
Made it back from Japan. Had a good time with work included, now back to being a closet nerd.
So I’ve been finishing up moving into my new house and I should be starting on painting either tonight or tomorrow. My current move is to get my Orange scheme finalized. From there I will be working on my ogres and dwarfs in equal parts.
ClawLeader:
So amidst moving into my new home, plans haven’t gone as they should’ve. There will be updates soon this week.
Unless you want pictures of my ogres
ClawLeader:
These were the original problems I was having with the orange. It came out terrible and dont worry they’re wip as with the ogres
ClawLeader:
A little sneak peak on my not so good greenstuffing. Fireglaives
and
General idea with these.
Big Hats, scroll beards. White featureless mask (think theatre) on most models, pauldrons, breast plate and scalemail.
The fire glaives will have barrels added to the axe head.
I’ve got a batch of 4 right now in the works
Abecedar:
That’s a very rude hat there my boy
ClawLeader:
He’s not done, I got three more being worked on at the same time. Going.to take em slow.and do my best.
Would’ve.finished that batch but I went to see iron maiden tonight. Amazing show by the way.
ClawLeader:
A little progress update with the green stuff work. Getting used to it, using vaseline now as a lubricant for my wax tools.
This guy (the one from before) has the baseline done (meaning foundation) for both shoulders, back and most of his hat. Got more work to do on him.
Got this guy’s beard, left shoulder, back and neck guard foundation done. Needs hat, breast plate, scails, and mask.
and then theres the guy with above whose kind of a mess.
Whats a good way to smooth out green stuff and to make sharp edges?
ClawLeader:
Front rank is almost done, got some detail work, hats, scail armor and a few odds and ends to do. 
So the rougher areas on the armor will get one more smoothing out before theyre done, but some C&C would be welcome. Enjoy.
Yodrin:
Looks nice, smooth the surfaces and they will be awesome 
ClawLeader:
Alright so I have almost finished the 5 fire glaives. Been doing work preparing 12 BfSP warriors for converting. They’ve recieved a weapon swap and beards already. Well 9 of them.
The FGs are 80% done. I need to base em and I think maybe some tiles would work?
ClawLeader:
I’ll just leave this here…
I’ve got to finish the hats, smooth some areas out, do the scales (which I have finally learned how to do right) and wham bam, right in the clam, these will be ready for painting!
Also my other models are almost done being stripped. Had no issue with simple green freeing them from the confines of paint.
Soulassassin:
The models are looking tough and evil, congrats 
Is there any way to improve the photos though? Its kind of hard to see what is going on in some of them. The ones taken a bit further away are a lot clearer, so maybe the camera doesn`t do macro so well?
ClawLeader:
I’ve been taking them with my phone. Explains a lot, but I do have an alternate camera. Thanks for reminding me. I’ll get that fixed right away
ClawLeader:
And just started my kdaai.
When I finish the units and models I’ll use my real camera I just got until then the phone will do.
