Cadre of Mesme Ukos Refresh

I got impatient and rather than keep doing a little on each vehicle I went ahead and finished one. Three down & three to go!

Yellow done.

Time to re-black any smudges areas so the lines are crisp and then onto the red gore.

Seen as the vehicles are coming along slowly but with very little difference (lots of coats of yellow) for a post I thought I would share a quick run down of all the models I have been distracted by between my last spring clean challenge and this one….

A little diorama of a special ltd edition fairy I’ve been hoarding and a random chubby crocodile I have.

Alas, its been so long I forget where either one was from originally.

I love a yellow dragon. The little one was a speed paint challenge mini from Games Expo Birmingham using Duncan Rhodes Two thin coats paint which it turns out I love!!

The little one inspired the big one which was a gift from my husband.

Next up is a Stitch my daughter gave me in a Birthday past. I had been too scared to paint him as I was worried I wouldn’t get the colour right.

Last year she made me a Stitch cosplay mask and picked out perfect colours so I stole the leftover paint and finally finished him.

The last one is Grobblenook, a paint your own gargoyle from a shop in York. I went with a splat scheme and just love him.

It’s slow work getting the yellow brown just right. I like it to be a nice solid colour which takes several coats and try to get as smooth a finish as possible which means thinning my paint but I have to careful not to go too thin as I want the crisp edges to show off the black lines on the finished tanks.
mistakes are inevitable so once this colour is done I will be touching up all the runs and smudges so I get those crisp lines and so the red areas will be applied on black with no smudges of yellow to muddy the colour.

I usually check & touch up black after every other colour cause I’m way too picky.

I might have accidentally fallen for the new twin suits and may or may not have asked my Local Gameshop to procure me a box…

My son put them together for me (I love painting but despair at building kits, I can never get the poses right). Here they are all sprayed and about to head to the cabinet to meet their new colleagues.

I picked up this guy second hand at Vapnartak this year and couldn’t wait to get paint on him.

I used the turbo dork colour shift paint on his wings which is a new find for me.

I made a little fairy orb from a glass tea light candle holder & my freebooter fairies.

So a lovely thing happened! Turns out people liked my fae diorama, thank you for such lovely comments.
