Captain Rex

 

Did up a small carving today of Star Wars Clone Captain Rex’s Helmet. Came out well, although I haven’t got the hang of printing on fabric yet. This is on a cheap T-shirt using Speed Ball Fabric ink, which I’ve only used a couple of times. It’s very different from my normal printing inks, so I’ll most likely be killing a few more t-shirts in the near future. Need to get some Blue ink to do a two tone version.

Now working on Cad Bane print converted from a nice drawing I found online.

I went back to doing some carving yesterday and finished off my skateboarder in cubist style. First prints came out ok this morning. Noticed that the image transfer using the Mod Podge has caused a little bit of rippling on the wood in places so gave the ink transfer was a bit weird in spots, but overall, I like it. I will have to see if a we bit of sanding can take out some of the ripples.

Going to have to try out some multi-coloured prints with this one over the next few days and even might try out some T-shirt prints with it if the ripples come out with some sanding.

A-A5 Speed Truck (W.I.P)

 

Started on my A5 Truck speeder quite awhile ago now. It’s been sitting on a tray in parts begging to be completed. So finally getting around to trying to finish it. The one thing that has struck me is that every model of it I’ve seen is setup on the base the same way in the default position. So thinking when I get to the point of mounting it on the base I will go for something non-standard. Just haven’t quite worked out what. Still quite a lot of painting to go.

At this point just focusing on the interiors as I have both doors open and was thinking of magnetising the roof. So perhaps it could also be used as a terrain piece as well as a vehicle in a game play.

The Bad Batch

 Been a month since my last post, what a month it has been. Minor surgery on my arm which took me out for a week and now the brutal flu, which turned in sinusitis and bronchitis. Now finally on the mend after pretty much 6 solid days in bed.

Been chipping away at some Star Wars Legion since I’ve been just started watching Bad Batch.

Had fun painting this unit since they are all different. Decided to try something a little bit different and try a multi-coloured undercoat with a theme of Episode 6 season one - Decommissioning. Replaced the bases with some nice sci-fi resin printed ones with the idea they were in the decommissioning plant with the orange and yellow glow of the furnaces.

A lot of the undercoat gets covered of course but I managed to keep some showing though as I used a combo of Army Painter speed paints, Vallejo and AK paints thinned down with speed paint medium. Pretty pleased with the outcome. Omega eye’s weren’t my best work.. I always struggle with eye and had issues with the undercoat on Tech cracking. Nothing to world ending and overall result looks really nice on the table top.
