Tonight I walked away and called "done" on Sammael, master of the Ravenwing. I first painted this mini on release as a solid metal, in 2007. At the time I was quite proud of it, but successive additions to my dark angels force (particularly completely updating my ravenwing bikes and spending far more time on painting them well) has left him looking shabby. Luckily, my friend and occasional minion Ian kindly bought me the new finecast release for Christmas in 2017. Whilst it has more flash than a Nikon it was much easier to work with than that old metal.  I painted in sub assemblies, which I didn't do last time. I blended, highlighted, and feathered, noone of which I really bothered with last time. Most of all...I planned! Shock. See what you think...old metal against new resin. Hope you agreed I've come a long way in ten years!  2007 2017

I've been reminded of this blog's existence! It is with shame that I realise it has been some years since I updated - but, I have been beavering away on a number of things. Some of them here. Firstly, Saamael, master of the Ravenwing. This is actually my second of this model, having painted the metal on release - a friend bought me the finecast release for Christmas to have another go with some more experience and hopefully skill under my belt ten years later. As you can see I've tried to go to town on the book and detail this time it, hope it's going well. I'm also working on some Ravenwing black Knights using the forge world outriders kit, also bought by a friend for Christmas! (It's been a Ravenwing year) As well as these, I'm working on a comission Mortarion, a Deathwing Ancient and a Naughty Gears bust. More to follow I hope! Josh
