And the 2de Tau XV8 Crisis Battlesuit...

I just finished the 2de Tau XV8 Crisis Battlesuit in the same colors as the first one. I also chose to let this one fly. These 2 Battlesuits have been painted with a little help of my airbrush. I used it for the green , then wased it & finaly highlighted it. It saved me a lot of paintwork.
Here are some pictures : 

Now i'm going to paint miniatures from an other army. But what? I'll have to think about that one...

Tau XV8 Crisis Battlesuits WIP

Yesterday i started modeling 2 Tau XV8 Crisis Battlesuits. The 3th has to wait a bit because i still do not know what weapons he will get. Here are some pictures of my workbench.

Tau drones 3 ... new color ...

Today i finished another 2 Tau drones. This time i chose a new color scheme. A color scheme that suits with the one i already had. My first color scheme is grey washed with purple highlighted with blue and yellow washed with sepia highlighted with yellow. The second color scheme is grey washed with purple highlighted with pink and blue-green washed with camogreen highlighted with blue-green. 

Here are some pictures : 

Next i'm going to paint a Tau XV8 Crisis Battlesuit with the blue-green color scheme.

Photo background Tutorial

On request of my Blog-readers here is a tutorial of the photo background. 

Needed materials : cardboard , double-sided tape , fabric ( of your choice ) , fabric scissors , staples + stapler , cutting mat , hobby-knife , protractor , ruler & a pencil. 

Step 1 : Draw a rectangle with dimensions of your choice on the cardboard.

Step 2 : Cut the cardboard. Don't forget to cut the folding line & don't forget : do not cut all the way through !

Step 3 : Cut the fabric a bit larger than the cardboard. 

Step 4 : Put double-sided tape on the edges of the cardboard.

Step 5 : Remove the paper of the tape on 1 side & fold the fabric and stick it on the double-sided tape as evenly as possible.  

Step 6 : Repeat this on the other side & don't forget to stretch the fabric a bit so you get a smooth surface.

Step 7 : Staple the sides that are folded. I used colored staples for a nicer result. Watch out that you do not staple on the folding line. 

Step 8 : Repeat steps 5 , 6 & 7 on the other sides.

Finished ... & this is the result. Use something to put behind the background ( a kitchen roll ) and you have a display to take pictures.  

And these are the ones my wife & I finished ... 

More backgrounds...

Today i made 2 more backgrounds for taking pictures. Here are some pictures of the 2 new backgrounds and the old one for the group picture : 

Airbrush Beginnings...

I recently bought an airbrush + compressor. And i'm trying out some things before using it on my miniatures. Here is a little project dedicated to my wife... 

I have to get some more supplies and try some things out before i'm going to use it on my mini's
