Hobby Desk

Some things I have been working on recently. Three bamboo men, six Surprise Egg terror birds and a Baryonyx.

Six Kinder Surprise Egg Terror Birds

A unit of Kinder Surprise Egg terror birds.

(While I found the first one in an old box of toys, I couldn't help it and had to look on Ebay for more.)

Palm Tree

I finally finished painting and varnishing this scratch built palm tree.

The materials I used to make it are wire, milliput and green stuff for the trunk and construction paper for the leaves.

I have started to paint three scratch-built bamboo men and put two Kinder Surprise Egg toys on bases.

Have a nice weekend!

Question about Varnishing

I have a question about varnishing miniatures.

I use Humbrol gloss varnish for protection and then Daler Rowney to get a matt finish.

I always need several layers of matt varnish, which I apply thinned down, until all glossy parts disappear.

Although I’m careful not to let the matt varnish pool, there are always parts where this happens. I correct this with acrylic paint.

I’m happy with the result, but the process takes quite long.

Is this normal or do you think I could improve my technique?

Cheers,

Karl

Hope you are well!

I’m currently reading one of the classic OSR texts, "Google+ for Dummies" by Jesse Stay.

It has an interesting chapter about trolls.
