HAHAA, got you offguard, a suprise update!

Long time, no post, here is a tumbleweed:

Now let's get this show on the road. Lot's have happened since the last update, some of which even related to the hobby. First of all I've developed some sort of a book addiction.

Here are some books that I've got and have read some of them.
1. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, excellent book, if you like ASOIAF -series, you love this too.
2. Kudottujen Kujien Kaupunki (English version: City of Woven Streets), http://www.emmiitaranta.com/city-of-woven-streets super good book, about a island city where the story follows a weaver girl and the things going down on this very different society. Emmi Itäranta's second book, I would also recommend for you to read the first book, Memory of Water, http://www.emmiitaranta.com/memory-of-water , amazing world with a massive shortage of drinking water and a world of drought. Excellent book, cannot recommend enough.
3. Ready Player One, just started this one, it's looks like a fun book in a troubled near-future where every one escapes reality to this massive virtaul one, it's a book full on 80's pop references, I feel right at home with this one.
4. The Great Dune Trilogy, the first three Dune books, I got this one with the same order as the Ready Player One to get a discount, might give this one a try after that one.

The dwarfs are all primed up and ready to paint. I have actually started these a little bit with my son, as it's his army. More to come.

Quick terrain piece I made with kids, some stone warehouse, for a fantasy battlefield.

There's a new 40k Patrol turnament at my local gaming store, my list is 2 trukks full of shoota boys, 3 deffkoptas in groups of 2 and 1, 5 Mek Gunz with Kustom-Mega-Cannons with all the grots and ammo runt's you can get, everything is so full of rokkits as they could be. Needed to build one new trukk and 3 more Mek Gunz for the list. Pictures below:

As a cherry on the "top", got a new airbrush compressor, super silent, very nice, much air, such compression.

WIP: All cleaned up and ready for prime

A group of stunties all cleaned up and ready for prime. These ones are going to be wrapped up in xmas-present. More pics as the project continues.

WIP: Mekgunz

Just a quick post, making Mekgunz, kitbashing a Ork Trukk. I got 2 boxes on mekgunz and one Trukk. Trukk had 6 tires so I get 3 Mekgunz of it. The high wall around the actual gun part are plasticard and greenstuff, rest of it is just Trukk parts so far. Needed 3 Boarding Planks, so one is from second Trukk box that I didn't use on my Trukk.

More pics as the project continues.

UPDATE:

All five main bodies are now done. Next up is the gun assembly and for the the Trukk-mek-gunz the energy source too since they don't have the battery box yet.

Quick Book Review: Skarsnik

I finished this one last night. Great book, 5/5 and 10/10. If you love goblins and specially Night Goblins like me, you will love this one.

It was awesome. Goblins were fun and proper gobbo like you would have them in Warhammer universe. Skarsnik is one badass warlord. The battles were awesome and the tale had satisfying pace going foward. Goblin language was easy to get used to and the greenskins made me smile and grin vickedly while reading this.

Weekend project: Shelf for unfinished miniature stuff

 I had some free plywood laying around and my miniature storage was a mess. So I decided to make a shelf thingie to store my new/unopened/unfinished minis in. I quickly drew up some sketches and went to the tablesaw. After succesfully without losing any fingers I had cut the plywood I clued and screwed them together.

 It fits the 15cm tall GW boxes on the upper level and my six bitz-boxes on the lower level. Sadly it became cat-infested in seconds.

Here is the thing loaded up. Not everything managed to fit in the. I have lots to do. Also this is a sneak peak of my Mordheim Orc warband. The halftrack is a necromunda terrain piece.

Update: I Made it from free plywood that I had laying around, total cost was around 2-3 euros, had to by some screws for.I made it mainly becaude I needed to clean up my hobby-closet and this organized things nicely and I wanted to craft with wood, also I had free materials just hanging around. I also designed it so that I fit my Airbrush station on the top.

Local gaming store turned 27, made them a terrain piece, again.

 So I made this Imperial Guard themed memorial statue for my local gaming store because they turned 27 1st of September. I made the Iguana Bob piece last time.

The Statue has a 40mm square base, the "stone" part is 20x20mm 30mm long piece of pine. The plate is just some 0,5mm plasticard, IG tank guys pinned and super clued to the "stone" part. The pine is screwed and clued to the base.

 Citadel Adeptus Battlegrey on the stone parts and Vallejo Brassy Brass to the rest of this.

 Wash with Citadel Thraka Green and Devlan mud.

Extra wash with Thraka Green and super thinned down Vallejo Falcon Turquoise. Then a coat of Vallejo Satin Varnish, finally added some Army Painter tuft on the base. Done.

I accidentally a airbrush painting station, is this bad?

Hello, long time since last post. Been busy. But now I've made this airbrush station to spice up my hobby.

It's made out of wood and it has a filter and a 120mm pc-fan to generate airflow throught the filter to help the paintfumes to go to filter. It took about 3h to make, I used a jigsaw to cut the plywood and used a miter saw to get the 45° angle to the stick, then I put the thing together with glue and small nail gun. The fan is held on with regular fan screws, the plywood is 6mm thick. The filter is attached with nuts and bolts. Corners are sealed with silicone.
