As I don't use/own an air-brush, I'll be keeping things very simple on the Sea Aelf, relying upon simple block colours and dry-brushing.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-44815044286473647392018-06-02T23:35:52.594-07:002018-06-02T23:35:52.594-07:00Ice Zeds is a great idea!

I have a couple more "Wild West Exodus" minis to assemble, so expect a themed month next time round.<br /><br />I've still a few "Burrows & Badgers" postings left to do, so expect them soon, as well as the Boromites, and Monday will see the final "Shadespire" Blood Reaver posted - with a group shot!! As for the Sea Aelves, well here's hoping I find the time to make some progress on the brute at some point this month.

I guess Mr Freeze has frozen out those Wild West Exodus aliens you teased us with for another time!! You must keep us updated with other ongoing projects too as I am keen to see your Burrows and Badgers force all together as well as a group shot of your Boromites. You have so much on the go you must be exhausted! And then the sea selves appear! Well I adore the models and that chap on his fish unicorn horse thingy looks ace! Can't wait to see him done!
