Hobby Progress Challenge - May Completed

I managed to pick up quite a bit of steam, May is completed before the end of April. I've finally stopped being afraid of messing everything up with my airbrush and started using it, saving me hours and giving me a quality of finish that is hard to emulate with a brush.

Hobby Progress Challenge - April Completed

For some reasons, my previous commitment post didn't automatically publish on the required date so please excuse the goal and completion being posted back to back.

Flesh Tearers Assault Squad

I'm still needing to base and apply decals, two aspect I don't think are required for the challenge, the only requirement I see is three colours minimum, which is quite easy to obtain. I'll probably base and add Flesh Tearers decals on all my models prior to the end of the challenge.

Hobby Progress Challenge - March Completed

I've tested the black armour highlight with both Eshin grey and Dawnstone and I've sticked with mostly Dawnstone everywhere except where I wanted some contrast but very little as I didn't wanted to draw the eyes theres, the fingers for example.

Flesh Tearers Death Company with jump packs

They took me quite a while and I could have done a third layer of red on some part but I had to keep moving to the next squad. I still need to apply 2 Flesh Tearers decals on the bare shoulder pads but that will have to wait until the end, probably when I'll base everything.

Essentials - Brushes Cleaner and Preserver

I've came across this product a year ago, and seriously I can't recommend it enough now. It's called "The Master's Brush Cleaner and Preserver"

It's basically shampoo for your brushes, it cleans left over paint like nothing else. After every paint session, I use this product to clean the brushes and then once it's all clean, I put a little on the brush and then reform the tip and let it dry with the cleaner still on it.

This little trick does wonder to keep the tip sharp, you do have to be careful when you want to use your brush again, gently wash the product off in your water pot without bending the bristles.

You'll probably never need to buy another one as it seems to last forever, you don't need much per brush.

Here's the demo by Lester Bursley on how to use that product and how efficient it really is. Give it a try especially if you've invested on good brushes.
