Friends don't let friends bend airbrush needles
So, guess what happens when you swing your arm around and clip the side of your paint booth with your airbrush! Yeah, you guessed it.Bent the needle on the Renegade Krome. Damn that hurts. Took the photos with a celestron digital microscope.
The lesson... be careful when you have your nice airbrush in your hands. I guess my zenithal highlighting experiment waits till Thursday when the replacement comes in... <sigh>
New Walls. For Sigmar or Warmachine
Well, with all those new Tau moving walls running around, I thought I would cobble some together for my Age of Sigmar and Warmachine games. Super easy to make, the process is actually in the Warmachine rulebook. You just cut a small piece of insulation foam, I went with 1/2" by 6" and 8". They are, of course, 1" tall. Then I rolled up some tin foil into a ball, to get a nice textured surface. Press that into the foam, then use a ballpoint pen to draw in the 'mortar' lines for the stones. For the base, I just cut some dollar store foam core board into shapes, peeled off the top layer of paper, cut a 1/2" groove in it and removed that foam as well. Then used Elmer's glue to put them together.After that just paint and detail to your heart's content. I did some grey and some umber walls, just to have some variety. I had the hay bales just laying around from some other project.
Making them in 6 and 8 inch segments means I can arrange them however I like. I made some "forts" below just for examples sake.
Making all 6 took about 2 hours, not counting paint drying time. Simple, easy sunday project.
