Painting Table Update#5 2019

Not really any painting this week. I have continued on my building binge. Will do a mass basecoat either this or next weekend and then start painting again.

 Some mantic models I hope to use in various systems.

 Not sure if I showed the next batch of Test  of Honor guys.

Another batch of cars converted for Gaslands.

I plan on building more test of honor guys. This week and have at least 1 more vehicle to convert.
That is it for this past week.

Painting Update #4 2019

No real painting has happened the last few weeks. I have instead been building a lot.
First I built my blackstone fortress set and tried a game with my oldest for learning it.

Then we have all those Mercs miniatures I assembled.

Finally we have some gaslands cars that have been converted slightly.


I also finished taking the last of pictures for updating the blog. And have now updated all the current sections with there complete work.
That is it for this post more as I get it done.

Review: Redgrass Games Studio XL Wet Pallete

As the title says I am reviewing my newest wet pallet. The short and simple review is I love it and it is amazing. For  longer review look after the pretty picture.

There are a few main reasons I love this new wet pallet. To be clear I had 2 other wet pallets in the past. The first was a homemade disaster. The second was the bellow one from Privater press.

Now to be fair I still like my PP one but it has always had a few issues. First the original foam it came with was horrible. I tossed it and bought others quickly. The other problem I have had with it is the over sized paper that it was meant to be used with never moistened easily and often would get waterlogged. The final problem was nit really PP fault but the replacement foam had to be carefully cut otherwise it would screw up the pallet easily and it had to often be replaced since it would often go moldy. I also had the problem that during the summer I would have to constantly stop and refill the water during  painting session and then even still the paint seemed to dry a lot.

Now this new wet pallet has been rather amazing. I have been using it for almost a month now. Have yet to add more water or change the paper. The paint still works perfectly fine. The surface area is huge in comparison and in theory it can be doubled as well.  There has been no sings of mold and the paper evenly and completely moistened as well. The seal on the pallet is also incredibly strong. zi have yet to try traveling with this monster but bet it wouldn't leak.

The extra magnetic wavy has been a little use full but I wouldn't have gone out of my way to buy it.  It was use full for some ink at one point and has been a hand place to keep an extra brush or two while working as well.


Now, I would only recommend this pallet for people with a lot of space on there desk or who do a lot of custom mixing on pallet when painting. However, if there smaller pallet is a good as this I can easily recommend it. Actually, almost wish I had bought that one as well. But I am more than satisfied with this purchase.

Blog Update

I didnt get around to writing my review but will try and get that done before the end of this week. My children and I have spent most of the past week in the evenings sorting through and taking pictures of all of my stuff. We should be done with photos tomorrow and I have been updating the sections as I can. They aren't complete but most have some photos in them now. 40k and Necromunda are the only ones that have yet to be touched at all. I will continue to flush these out over the next month or so. I also plan on trying to do an update on hobby progress soon since I have been doing a lot of building lately.
