101st progress

Completed the 1st platoon HQ and 1st squad. Progress has been slow this week but progress is still progress they say :)

So this is what i've done so far.

Company HQ consisting of Co commander and 2ic supported by 3 bazooka teams. 1st platoon ; platoon command and 2 rifle/mg team= 1 squad. I painted an extra command team which will be 2nd platoon's.

The followings pics are esp for 4eyedmonster, a fellow hobbyist and blogger i met for the first time over the weekend :)

I use a small computer fan to dry paints faster when i need to. It uses a usb connecter and i plug it in to my laptop.


I like to paint my Fow individually bluetacked on whatever i can find as opposed to using the icecream stick method. Although i still do batch production painting in small squads. The good thing about batch painting is you feel a sense of achievement seeing the models completed. Squad by squad until its all done :)


And this is my ultra sophisticated photo studio hehe. A3 size paper and Ikea table lamp.

Have a good holiday everyone :)

  1. T___,T my painting and photo studio consist of one paper box (paint studio cum spray booth) and two shoe boxes and a half naked chick 3D poster (it's white opposite site serve as most of my background for photo shooting...)

    Maybe I should really invest and set up a proper painting/photographig area for the sake of hobby~_~"

  2. That's a really awesome setup! Based on your hobby work station, you look like someone that can really multi-task. =)

    I have noticed that most hobbyist use fans to dry their models. Makes sense I guess. On my very first miniatures ... one ultramarine had a droopy antenna due to an overzealous blast of hot air from the missus' hair dryer.

    Your photo studio looks very cool. I am saving up for a lamp but my budget keeps getting blown every single time I am at HF =P

    Nice work on the models too. They look much smaller in size than your regular GW units.

  3. I used to use a hairdryer too but stopped when i found this small fan. No need to hold, no heat and absolutely zero noise hehe. Hairdryers are noisy :(

    My motto is make do with what u have. Spend the hard earned cash on models hahaha
