To infinity and beyond

Here’s a very interesting video detailing the history and manufacture of Harder and Steenbeck airbrushes. I have one of their ‘Infinity’ airbrushes so it was cool to find out how they are made. Thanks to Ichiban Painting for Tweeting the link.

40k cosplay

Here is a cool video of some cosplayers in China. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, ‘cosplay’ is short for ‘costume play’ and basically involves dressing up as characters from fantasy and science fiction and dancing about.

I have been continuing to paint and will add a proper update with photos of finished models later in the week. Stay tuned…

Roll a D6

An amusing video on YouTube. Lady Gaga meets D&D – irritating and catchy in equal measure.

Exciting news of our furry-footed friends

I was very excited to hear that today Peter Jackson released a behind-the-scenes promo video for the forthcoming film of The Hobbit documenting the beginning of the filming process. You can read all about it in The Sydney Morning Herald and the video can be found on Youtube.

Of course,the really exciting news for the hobby community is the fact that GW have acquired the license to produce models based on the film. This was announced back in February as detailed  here. Lord of the Rings has always been one of my great loves so I’m really looking forward to delving back into Middle Earth once more in 28mm scale. In the meantime here are some of my LOTR minis.
