About the Project
In this project I will go through some experimentation with painting in the Grimdark style and using those lessons learned to develop my own, more gritty paint style. I will be using oil paints for the first time in combination with acrylics, enamels and some wax paints, hence the title...

Beauty Mask....
I fixed up the face and gave her a primer beauty mask, sadly I did not have scale cucumber slices….
After that I did paint up the face and she kind of looks like a clown, but I am hoping the shading will fix that up.
A Damaged Cyborg. 🤖
Because of the success yesterday, I thought let’s try some more….. That did not go so well, got something more done, but also ruined her face. I tried to fix that and made it worse and again and again. And now she looks like a damaged cyborg….. 😔😩 I’ll fix it later.
I have done a paint!!! 🙀
The changes to my painting setup are working to improve things, but I still don’t expect to be painting regularly. We’ll see I guess, I’ll keep trying though.
A Little Bit More.
Again, my health is limiting me how much I can paint. 😩😔 But at least I got a little bit done on Dynamic Haleth from Hasslefree Miniatures. At this stage I might get this model done by the end of the year…..
Chronic Illnesses Suck....
I tried doing a little bit of painting and this is all I got done in half an hour. 😩 Chronic illnesses suck…..
Stupid Duplicate Post..... 😩

Dark Dwarf Pounder
The Dark Dwarf Pounder from Reaper Miniatures is done.
I have even included a picture of the mess on the bottom of his hammer.
And I am also trying something new with a 360 video.
Which for some odd reason Youtube decided to put in the shorts thingy and not as a video like I was intending….. 🤦♀️ I blame Google….
Bloody Hammer!
I finally managed to get the final steps done for the dwarf from Reaper Miniatures.
I completely forgot to take pictures of what I was doing as I was doing the final steps. Too be honest, I haven’t been very well after the funeral for my aunt last week. So here is how I did all of this.
First of to do the snow I made a mix with Greenstuff World Terrain Series Snow Powder Realistic (11190), PVA glue and some water. I have literally been puzzling to get a right mixture so I don’t really have any ratios for that mixture right now, but it was quite runny with some solid bits in it. I used a silicone brush to gently apply it to bits of the base. I then splattered on some AK Interactive Blood Effect (AK11260) and put a blob of AK Interactive Viscera Effect (AK11261) on the bottom of the hammer. With a brush and a bit of AK Interactive Blood Effect (AK11260) I darkened it and blended it in with the hammer using some water as well. I then blobbed some of AK Interactive Blood Effect (AK11260) on the snow on the base as well. Finally I finished of the rim with Vallejo Panzer Aces Dark Mud (70.316) and this is where we are.
More pictures to follow when everything has cured and dried.
