If it is of any consolation I always look at your minis and think they're too matt ;-) On a serious point I have now run out of my old "Citadel" gloss and started using their 'Ardcoat which is awful. It takes ages to dry and even then its sticky to the touch for about 24 hours. Not impressed.

I don't need anymore 28s when I'm trying to work through those 10s. But I had a really cool idea for 7tv... No-ooo, I'm trying to stick with 10mm stuff.

I always like to throw in some models I've been progressing on the quiet - though Tweedy was almost done before the Analogue Challenge started and should have been finished ages ago as a result :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-65639305090677942122015-02-26T16:19:22.982-08:002015-02-26T16:19:22.982-08:00Really nice job Bk.

Glad you like him... and recognise him more importantly. I'm rather happy with the Yeti too, especially as I plan on using the technique for an entire horde of Werewolves by "Slap Miniatures" in the near future.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-73866155825684180882015-02-26T14:55:36.009-08:002015-02-26T14:55:36.009-08:00I never did get the "Tweedy" connection ...I never did get the "Tweedy" connection and always thought of him as one of the incarnations of the Doctor.

But it simply didn't look right when I was finished, so I went back and painted the second eye in. I might just touch up the white again as the gloss varnish seems to have just discoloured it for some reason. The Yeti are definitely one of "Black Tree Design" best.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-44009200871152053102015-02-26T14:36:24.180-08:002015-02-26T14:36:24.180-08:00Many thanks Bryan.
