It’s been a slow month on the bench. Not all that much getting pushed past the old paintbrush. I did manage to finish up this Blood Bowl team. I started out thinking the project would take me a couple of hours, but I kept wanting to add layers.
Next, last night I started picking away at a collection of Styrofoam asteroids that I burned out with a hot wire cutter. This is still early days for me and sculpting, so shapeless masses are right up my alley.
The wire-cut result is a bit too clean though, and I wanted to skuzz them up a bit, and give them a more gritty texture. I found that mixing equal parts coffee grounds, PVA glue and water makes a very nice dirt-paste. It may not look it, but those grounds are stuck in and the glue creates a very nice surface for primer.
I think that with some paint and a bit of wash, these guys will look great at my next Firestorm Armada game.
Finally, last night I dove back into my belove Orks and started working on the trukk for my Slobbajaws.
