Jan 1st: Star Trek Away Missions
Spent the first day of the year painting up the core box for Star Trek Away Missions, Battle of Wolf 359. I bought it as a present for a friend’s birthday but a combination of me being disorganised and the Royal Mail being rubbish, I only ended up with one day to get the contents painted.
Today I woke up with a cold so won’t even be seeing her to give her the present XD
I wasn’t sure how I’d feel painting them as they are caricatures but in fact it was really fun. I’ve not had a lot of time for painting in the last month or so and having something like this was a nice way to ease back in.
I kept things very simple without edge highlighting or bothering with doing the eyes – at the end of the day they are for someone who is a board gamer and I needed them painted and varnished in a day.
Good start to the year though.
a handsome gift
Thank you sir.
Nice!
Bobble Bobbleheads! We must think somewhat alike as I almost pulled down my Away Missions stack to have something less grimdark to paint lol
@grantinvanman can recommend. They’re very easy to paint and like I say, a nice way to ease into the new year
They look great. I wasn’t sure about the goofy sculpts either, but I ended up having a great time painting them.
