After painting two 15mm warbands (Dwarves posted up soon) I've been feeling the painting strain of squinting away at the detail and realised that I need a complete change of pace and subject to keep me from the dreaded Painting Mojo loss.
So I've pulled out one of the Airfix Starter kits I'd picked up on the cheap around New Year to construct. The kit in question is a mk1 Hawker Hurricane. Being a starter set it includes a basic paint set for the kit, so no faffing around experimenting with pigments this time round!
Just painting this for fun Sam, or do you have a rule-set in mind? Either way a great idea to keep you sane :-)
ReplyDeleteJust fun (and sanity!) .
DeleteRegression therapy.
ReplyDeleteUnashamedly very much so. :)
DeleteGood idea!
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to take a break. Model kit reminds me of my youth. Dwarf in 15mm, I am looking forward to seeing it.
ReplyDeleteVery much from my youth as well. The new kit seems to have more detail than I can recall as an inattentive 10 year old!
DeleteThe Dwarves were getting a spray of varnish this very morning, so hopefully will get a photo shoot this evening...
I use the odd whfb fig I plan to use as quest/rpg characters for this - get away from batchs and try out some unusual colours :)
ReplyDeleteI nearly went down that road instead. There is an Urban War Koralon Hydra that almost made it to the paint table, but I've been looking at the Airfix kits with more longing :)
