I likes 'em BIG!

So, I made a commitment the other day to build a Valkyrie in 1/8th scale, and while no one reads my blog (I am really bad at blogging, unlike my wife) I am going to try and keep a regular journal on this project in the form of a Vlog and a Blog.

This is going to be challenging, but fun!

Warhammer Village comes to life

This is a bad picture overall,but I think it shows the detail of the clock just fine and that is what I was going for - so I posted it. There is a lot more work to be done on this piece, this is merely a WIP update.
Here are two of the pieces of the Warhammer Building Set together that I am working on. I got tired of the chapel and move3d on to the manor, and now I see a lot of stuff that needs to be finished on the chapel!
Here are the four pieces of the manor house put together as it is shown on the box lid. I like the deep scab red on the doors. I was not too sure about it at first.

Also plain to see in this picture is that the tower section stonework had been dry-brushed after washing, but the other pieces have only been washed and not dry-brushed.

So tomorrow I will keep on pluggin away at these pieces unrtil they are finished! Comments always welcome.

More Warhammer Village

So this is the Chapel so far, most of the way there at least. More detail work to be done and more weathering of course.

I tried to be different with the stone work here, washing with sepia inks instead of black inks. I lind of like that it is not the predictable (for my style at least) drab gray stone work. It looks like it could be limestone or something.

The torches look alright, but I wish I could make them look brighter somehow....

What do you think?

My friend and team mate had the Warhammer villiage and I asked him could I assemble it and paint it. I can not remember when that was for sure, but there was snow and ice on the ground, so needless to say it is hi time I get it done.

I started painting with a white primer, then preshaded all of the towers and buildings with Tamiya Neutral Grey XF-53. Then I moves on to base coating the white buildings with a light spraying of Tamiya Flat WHite XF-2, and various colours for the slate roofs and also for the red- tiled roofs.
