Time, Tide, and Buttered Eggs...

Time does have a way of getting away from me. 

It's been a while since I've updated here or even glued my fingers together. I hope to have more updates and glue and paint flowing soon.

Hellbrutes....

I finally got a minute to start laying down some skin color on my Budget Hellbrutes.  Banged them out in Duck Egg Green to start with and will be adding some shading and washes to deepen the green and skin tones.  Highlighting will be in the future some time.  Glad to be finally getting some more color on these, as I am "that Guy" that runs all five as elites with my Berzerker Horde.

On a side note, not sure what is going on with my airbrush.  The fine detail wasn't happening so all the over spray.  It surprised me a bit, and as I was banging these out I couldn't find the problem.  I wasn't too upset as I plan on bringing a lot more colors into the armor plates, but am already breaking the brush down and soaking everything to start with.

The Grind and Magnets.....

So definitely not going as fast as I would like it, but I am learning a lot along the way.  I want to magnetize as many options as I can for each Knight, however I need to figure out how to magnetize each option as I go.   The balance between the magnet holding the weight of an arm or torso, but not destroying the model when it is time to take it apart is still an experiment in progress.

I've decided not to magnetize the shoulders.  They will be under the shoulder armor, so I don't see an advantage to magnetizing them.  The elbows I'm trying to magnetize now, and the options for the weapons.  I do have the waist magnetized and am debating weather to magnetize the feet to the base or glue them on to a scenic base.

I don't see an advantage even in transportation to magnetize the feet, though I have seen several Knights magnetized that way.

I'm not the fastest model builder obviously.
