Painting Panzers

  Organization After buying and setting up the new shelving unit last week, and reorganizing my hobby space, I bought some "acrylic nail polish storage racks" on Amazon to store my paints, which were getting out of control. These had a wide enough shelf to store both Vallejo, Citadel, and Tamiya paints, which were great. I'm really happy everything is now organized and I have more space to work, instead of my desk being so cluttered. Next week, I think I'll buy some lights. The new desk location has more space and access to the pegboard wall, but lacks good light for painting. I'll either pick up some Ikea desk lamps or a big garage overhead light. We'll see which is a more effective solution. Snow Bases My friend wanted a quick basing tutorial on how I did my Age of Sigmar skeletons' snow bases, so I'm going to post it here as my virtual noteboook so I remember how to do it in the future. I used Vallejo's texture paint and some large(ish) pebbles

 I'm so happy to post more pictures for you guys  And I'm so glad to be back! It's been a long while since I've written anything for this blog, but I've been at work on a lot of various projects. Number one among them is working on terrain for my personal board. For this, I've been working on slowly building up more and more bocage, along with a faux fur mat, roads, and a forest's worth of trees. Let me know what you think, and what else I can do to add to it!  This Normandy terrain is slow-going, mainly because it's my own personal set, and I put my personal terrain set below painting and assembling miniatures and buying new armies, which is a habit I need to break. I'm trying to finish this terrain by the summer, so it'll be ready for many casual games and maybe even an appearance at a convention or two! I bought this cheap Revell model Spitfire from Hobby Lobby after Christmas when it was on sale. I think it

Sorry for the lack of updates everyone, but I've got some good progress to report! As was promised quite a while ago, I finally settled on a method for making Normandy bocage that I'm really happy with. A lot of the time, I see hedges as waist-high decorations, but the bocage of the Normandy campaigns were truly formidable obstacles. I've modeled these as having a dirt berm a bit taller than the mini, and then having the foliage extend an inch(ish) higher. These bits of bocage are in about 1 1/2 foot segments and designed as scatter terrain for a Normandy table that I am building up slowly. I took some photos on a smaller piece of board I am using as a mini-photo set. Enjoy some of the bocage pictures, and let me know what you think! Terrain Experiments! After finishing the bocage, I was looking for another mini-project to work on while I waited on some bits for the final display board to arrive. Walking around Hobby Lobby one day, I noticed
