Hobby Progress Challenge 2013 Concluded

The challenge is done and the winners have been drawn, I'm not one of them but I'm glad nonetheless to have taken part in the challenge. I was part of the 57 that made it through the challenge from a pool of 250+ hobbyists.

Here's myself being mentioned in an admin post on his personal blog, he represented well the friendly community that dwell in the IC's forum.

Can't wait for the 2014 Challenge ... I still have a lot of stuff to paint.

Fallout "Nuclear Sandlot" Color Scheme

T-45d Brotherhood of Steel Paladins

Improved level of detail on the Gatling laser one

They're done, well only the varnish still needs to be applied then some flocking to match the rest of my bases scheme. This is the very simple yet effective scheme that I've used, I'm not usually a fan of dry brushing but after some research it really suit the worn out yet maintained look of the Brotherhood of Steel T-45d armour. Stippling with a brush/sponge or the salt/hairspray technique wouldn't have worked as well on this scale I think.

Workbench - Fallout Miniatures

I've debated doing posts like this for ages, ever since I saw similar post on From The Warp. It's nothing fancy but the hassle of getting the Nikon out, importing and editing made it so I never got around to do it.

I've solve this with my new iPad, the photo quality is acceptable for simple work in progress pictures and it's quite easy to post straight from the device.

As the Independent Characters podcast hobby challenge is now officially over, I found myself needing a palette cleanser sort of, something different than wall to wall Flesh Tearers. So I decided to finish my Fallout Miniatures.

T-45d Brotherhood of Steel Paladins

Basing is underway and while the PVA is drying, I need to find what else is available online to get them some friends \ foes.
