    Spent some time working with the 3d Printer, and building some tools for hopefully helping with the miniature painting.  In this case, it is a handle system, which should make it easier to hold unpainted figures, maneuver them around for better angles, and still be easy to swap out for bulk painting of several figures. …

    I continue to produce the True-Tiles terrain, and although I have changed directions on the base pieces, the top pieces are just fine.  However, after my first batch, I realized that using Army Painter paints for the painting of this amount was not very cost effective – I nearly emptied my Dark Wash bottle, and…

    Working on more painting for the Zombicide: Black Plague set, this time with another set of 7 zombie runners.  My snapshots are admittedly rather terrible, I am not sure if it was the camera or the photographer (likely the later), but hopefully you get the basic idea.  I started with a primer coat of zombie…

    Had some time over the last week to finally do some more painting, and managed to get half of the zombie runners painted up.  Fortunately, they were all very basic, only a few colors, and all identical, so it didn’t take that much time to complete.  I continue to struggle a bit without glasses, which…

    So I got distracted this week, and with a shorter than normal travel schedule, I ended up not working on the planned zombie horde.  Instead, I have been spending many hours working on an automated GURPs character sheet, in preparation for my January GURPs Warhammer campaign.  Will try to work on the zombies next week,…

    With my travel this week, I have the next set of Zombicide zombies to paint ready to go.  This time, I am starting with a zombie-green base coat, which may make the process a little faster.  The challenge however is that the set is 14 identical zombies.  Although they will have some variety, I am…

    Finished the first set of Walkers, a set of 7 female zombies.  I had posted before that I rather liked the “dirt” effect the wash applied, although it did not look all that great with a couple of color combinations.  Fortunately, after a bit of dry brushing, the colors recovered quite a bit, and I…

    I finished the highlighting and cosmetics on the Abomination, and rather like the figure.  I am not that happy with the pants/shorts – the suggested green ended up becoming rather muddy and really fades into the skin tone of the zombie giant himself, but the rest is nice.  The highlighting and shading really makes the…
