How to Mount an X-Wing Miniature for Painting

Pictured: Some, but not all, of the things you'll need.
You'll need:
  • Masking tape
  • Wooden cocktail sticks
  • A model to mount for painting
  • A cork, or something else to stick the cocktail stick into
  • Something to mount the cork to if the cork isn't big enough to be a good handle
  • Craft knife
  • Something to drill into the cork with
If you're going to be airbrushing or spray priming, mask the mounting point.
Cut your cocktail stick in half and whittle the blunt end so it fits in the mounting hole.
The stick should fit snugly in so that no adhesive is required. Only use light pressure or you might deform the socket.
Drill a hole for the sharp end of the cocktail stick.
Put stick in hole.
Optionally: blu-tac cork to larger, nicer handle.
Paint!

Catch Up Monday

Is Catch Up Mondays a thing? It probably isn't.

I finished the Stormcast I showed in progress back in October.

Hello! That's us!
I felt like painting and didn't feel like thinking, so they were a nice, simple choice.

Meanwhile I've finally finished the Nomad and Panoceania starter sets for Infinity. 


Thrilling, I know.

Photography Extravaganza!

Remember that last post with the rubbish photos? Here are some slightly better ones.

Naturally I still forgot to dust him, again.

Look at that tartan! Not too shabby, eh?
Now, back to the grindstone.


Spaceships!
