Here in my deep dark basement you will find examples of my dark craft, this will be sawing drilling and the spillage of fluids all in the name of art! I will be keeping a record of many finished, as well as many unfinished projects during my many forays into the miniature painting world. I will endeavour to post regular updates but don't hold your breath! So its time to dim lights and if your sitting comfortably we can get on with the show!

Micro Art Studios - Apartment Building
Nearly forgot but I also finished this little chappy off as well, a few simple signs to give it a bit of detail but don't like scenery thats too overbearing so will do just fine. When Micro Art's building graffiti decals come out then I may be tempted to use some of those. But for now, it's done.
DUST - Axis Light Walker
So it's been a while but wanted to have something worthwhile to show your rather than heaps of grey plastic. This brings us to the DUST Axis Light Walker, the plans for this is to use it as an extra Rifleman Dreadnaught (where location allows) as part of my Guard Auxilla for my Scythes, which could also branch out into a force of its own. Unlike my Scythes I want any Guard elements to look more worn and weather beaten as the limited resources available would be no doubt lavished upon the elite angels of death rather than the scummy little Guard monkeys. To this end I used a lot of sponging, washes and some very useful ready make products. For the oily areas I used Tamiya's clear smoke and for the rust AK Interactives Rust Streak liquid (which tastes foul).
These are excellent kits at a very reasonable price though being pre-assembled it is difficult to get rid of all the mouldlines. Also slightly annoying that it doesn't quite fit properly onto a GW 64mm base, but they again they aren't intended to. Very tempted to paint another one of these as well as get some of the other DUST Axis Walkers to use as vehicle stand-ins for the Guard force.
