Painted ORCA

So today I painted my first mini, and I chose the ORCA squad leader. Why? Their the biggest 15mm I have XD that and I wanted to see how well the orange looked in a large area. So far I like it.

Read more for the pics.

MAG update

Due to the recent discovery of this blog MacPhee's Miniature Men I will be starting on my mag army painting fairly soon. His method is a good fit for what I'm looking for in painting style, so will break out the paint and brushes soon. :D

M.A.G. update

So I finally got the Raven and Valor minis in, and cleaned them up the best i could.
Sadly however, the most I can do is base them. I still need to get something to finish the bases with, then I can start on painting

M.A.G.

So, figure I'll post about where I'm at with each project, starting with MAG.

Currently, I have the SVER figures, they are on bases but need flocking and painting.
I used the Sahadeen from Rebel Minis, I figure, their nomadic nature and their hooded troops fit with SVERs look and feel.

Plan to get Raven next, most likely going to be the Titan Marines, also from Rebel.

Project list 5/11

Current Projects:

M.A.G. in mini: I plan to recreate the Massive Action Game PS3 game in the form of a  15mm miniature wargame. Current plan is to use miniatures from Rebel Minis to recreate the 3 PMCs from the game.

Arc welder: Building a DIY arc welder, figure the best way to learn welding is by understanding how the welder works. Plus it's cheaper than buying one.

Xiangqi board and set: Doing a custom Xiangqi (Chinese chess) set and a homemade board.

Well that's all I have for the moment, there's probably more I'm forgetting to mention, but I'll post if I remember
