Can't say I see anything wrong with the model.

You get results like that from spilling paint over your models? FK

Glad people like it! Cheers guys! And yeah I'd noticed Max! Pretty funky eh! (though I think it is just a random selection of minis that get up on that!) Heldrake wings! I'm kinda playing about with the red at the moment, trying to decide how deep I want it to be, and how much of a gradient from red to black on each of the little sections. Decided to do it on the wings first because they are easy to fix when I feel I have found the "sweet spot". Sadly Uni starts up again next week, so I have to put more time into reading and finishing my dissertation. Work on minis will be much slower

Its been a while since I did anything like painting. My pc died a week or so ago and ever since then I have been building a new one, and the hobby side of things has had to suffer because of it. I've also been rebuilding Golden Throne from the ground up, totally redesigning the site and have started blogging my painting there as well as on forums. (As an aside, anyone who may be interested in writing articles for the new site feel free to get in touch. More than happy to accept contributions of just about any kind as long as its to do with the hobby - reviews, battle reports, guides. scenrios - anything really!) Anyway, here is the stuff I am working on at the moment. The Heldrake is a pain of a model. All those rivets, all that metal raised areas are enough to drive you a little mad. To top it off I am not particularly happy with how the metal looks on the wings. I tried a new technique out and I am not that happy with it. So I am tempted to go back and do the metal again.

Dan have you tried using the oil wash technique to shade the rivets?

Normally I do my silver like this: And it has served me well for a long time! The other way was meant to provide more "realistic" silver. And I guess it would if you have a life time to paint the mini in. Just way too much on the drake

Looking good Dan, if i was you i`d stick with the way you do it. It`s good to try new way`s, but sometimes the old way`s are best............
Good work as alway`s mate.
Doom....

Cheers Doom! Just a quick update. Really difficult to take pictures of this at the moment, but this is the progress so far. Nearly finished the second one too, so should be able to make a start on the neck and head some time this weekend!
