I thought I would add some still images of the Eldar Avatar I painted, this should stop the motion sickness :) 

What do you do on holiday - FW Avatar Completed

Two birds and one stone springs to mind, why you may ask? as from the previous post were I had forgotten to undercoat the hair and the loin cloth before my holiday, on my return this would be a good time to actually bite the bullet and try a bit of airbrushing.  I had already decided I was going to use the Airbrush for the glow on the base, so it was a simple step to use the same technique on the loin cloth and the hair.  I now wish I had used it on the spear shaft, but overall I'm happy with the result I hope Scott is too.  Happy Birthday mate :)

What do you do on holiday - FW Avatar WIP

At the moment I'm on holiday in Wales with the family, having a great time because it's not raining... And at nights I'm having a beer or two and a couple of hours of painting, this got me thinking, is it just me that insists on taking my paints away on holiday with me?  My wife has gotten used to it after 9 years of going away and with me taking things out of the car to make room in the car for all the stuff I'm going to paint, but she still gives me THAT look, you know the one I mean.  If you do take things away with you what do you take?

I normally take 20 - 30 troops in a carry case with my paints, but this time I have taken a Forge World Avatar I'm painting for my friend Scott's 40th birthday present which I gave him last month, the problem is I haven't got any tools or equipment for any problems that arise and yes it's good to dedicate a week to paint one model, but I'm missing the production line of troop painting and the feeling of when you get back from holiday and all your troops are finished.  The problem I have is I forgot to undercoat his loin cloth hair and base which is really annoying me because I have 4 days and only touching up to do.  Oh well I'll have to spend more time with my wife, not sure how she will feel about that with 2 book to read and wine and beer to drink :)
