Emu Gully Air and land Spectacular

I went to the Emu Gully Air and land spectacular over the weekend. Its an annual air show and military reenactment show that is held at emu gully each year. was a great day and I got some really good photos. here are some of the better ones. I took over 800 photos over the day and I am slowly going through them.

These have only been resized and cropped. there have been no other editing...

The first design ive done that will actually be inked on someones skin...

New drawing finished

I had a bit of time on the train the other day so I finished a drawing that I started late 2011.

I really love the way it turned out.

And with a bit of dodgy photoshop... Its a flying heart. :)

2000 page views! woot

Ive just noticed that this blog has reached 2000 page views. thanks to everyone for coming to visit. This blog will be taking a back seat to my theempirestf.blogspot.com blog this year. The Empire collection is the priority this year with lots of painting and collecting.

I will be updating this blog with photos and drawings but there will be minimal painting posted up here.

The empire collection planning has begun

I started the first stages of planning for the Empire collection. The first order turned up last week so I was able to start thinking about army composition. The steps are going to be pretty long and involved. so its probably best to look at the other blog more than this one. I dont know how often I will be updating this blog now. I might go for the odd update on here but there will be at a minimum weekly posts of the theempirestf.blogspot.com blog.

2013 project

my last post I hinted about a new project for 2013. I have decided this year to start and finish an army collection in the 12 months. This will include assembly, painting and display.

Ive started a new blog to track the adventure, the link is theempirestf.blogspot.com Ill be updating it weekly with progress shots and experiences on the journey. come along. it should be fun.

Just in case

Howdy,

Just in case there are people out there waiting for the photos that I promised the other day. :) I am going to finish the first miniature with the layering techniques over the weekend and then ill post up a comparison of three different miniatures. One that I painted 2 years ago when i started painting again, one that I finished this time last year and then the new one. I have noticed a massive change in my painting over the last 2 years and Im pretty keen to see the differences.

Ill post them up on monday.

I also have a new project for this year, lets call it a type of new years resolution, but ill post up a blog post when I get it all finalised and I start the project. will be mid february when I start.
