Ive come to report some progress

Right, I finished painting my 10 skinks and Ive learnt something. I suck at painting. Apart from that things are going well. For the skinks I undercoated the weapons with black before going over them with bleached bone. This wasnt a good idea and Ive learnt my lesson as for the Saurus Im painting the bone straight on the white undercoat. The Saurus are going really well as Ive done 5 or 6 of them and half way through another 4/5. Im painting Blazing Orange everywhere and then doing Chaos Black scales and drybrushing with Fortress Grey. Im having such little paint on the brush it looks like Im highlighting!! If you put too much paint on you just end up painting them Fortress Grey which I have now learnt is the colour of unpainted plastic.

I tried taking some photos on my mum's camera but it has short sightedness and cant properly focus on the models and so my phine has actually become a better camera :S

The thing is that the CD to install my phone onto my laptop is in southampton so I cant upload photos. This means I have to take all my models to soton which could be risky but it has to be done. By the end of tomorrow I should have 10 Saurus and 10 skinks, which technically comes to 180 points which is enough to get by in Tale of Painters. I just hope I can keep up.

Oh and i tried basing with the lava idea but I need some sand otherwise it looks like I just painted some lines on a plain base.

Im gonna start up a Tale of Painters thread on www.librariumonline.com so go check it out soon.

Laterz
