Mould Lines

I'm working on six Surprise Egg terror birds at the moment.

After undercoating them I noticed that they had thick mould lines which I couldn't remove with a scalpel because the terror birds are partly made out of soft plastic.

I covered the mould lines with green stuff which was fun but took a bit longer than planned ...

Happy New Year!

art vs artist 2022

I went to a photo booth to take a picture for this art vs artist collage which is popular on Instagram at the moment. I tried to look friendly, but 2022 was another stressful year on many levels. Anyway …

Hobby-wise I met a lot of interesting, friendly people, played Dingstown, Saga and The Silver Bayonet at gaming conventions and Dragon Rampant and Das Schwarze Auge with my kids.

I finally finished all my old painting and sculpting projects, this was my New Year’s resolution for 2020, and I started a funny army, consisting of surprise egg toy animals and scratch built bamboo men. I will continue painting these in 2023.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my posts, look at all the pictures and for your kind and inspiring comments.

(By the way, one of the images is AI-generated.)

Have a wonderful 2023!
