I cannot believe that this board game is finished! I have so many projects I want to work on and it felt like it took forever!
I do have to say that I definitely saved the best for last... and I'm talking about Knuckle. He was definitely my fave.

The last two... I can't wait to be done with these models! I fully airbrushed Knuckle for this and with a bit more colour and some touch-ups, I think he'll look sweet.
I was going to airbrush this one, but again, I felt that zenithal prime I did with the airbrush was to my advantage. I took some airbrush grey and blue and brushed it on (watered down). I had hoped that it would be transparent enough, but as I was doing the wash on the dress, I really liked the look of a heavy brush of nuln oil on the dress that I just doused the whole thing. For the skin, I did 2:3 ratio of nuln oil to drakenhof nightshade and I think it was the perfect shade for the skin. This one will be easy to finish!
I can't wait to finish up this game - I want to move onto other projects but the look on my daughter's face when I finish every model is worth it.
Well, this one is done and in the bag. Wasn't my favourite but not too bad. I don't really have anything profound to say about this one!
This one might be easy as I used a zenithal prime and since he has a white coat, I think I can get away with just keeping it mostly as is. I don't think I like the orange and green together but that's what the card appears to have. Go Gators I guess?
And they're done!
I really think Lionel turned out really well... the other two... so-so.
They'll look great on the table though.
Looking at these models, I should be able to knock them out super quick and I've been procrastinating that, so work on these 3 I did! My daughter will be so happy!
Here's the first pass on them after base colours and washes complete.
Man, I forgot to post this a looooong time ago!
This is one of the main characters, Lumpy, after washes. I tried painting a grey filter over the zenithal highlights I did with the airbrush, but I think I washed it all out. A learning experience I guess...
Well, just a bit of aluminium-coloured highlights on the top edges and then worked on the eyes.
My daughter and I have been playing this game and the mongrels kinda of scare her. She wanted more cool colours instead of red, but she did want one to be red.
I really enjoyed these guys - probably my favourite to paint so far. Now, we're onto the heroes and then the bosses.
I really enjoyed painting these - I used Vallejo metallics through the airbrush and that saved me oodles of time. I'm not sure if my shading and highlighting worked as well as I had hoped though.
The washes are all done... just some airbrush of the eyes' glowing and base to go. I didn't feel like cleaning up the airbrush again so I called it a night.
I forgot to post the finished result. I'm the least happy with these minions for the game thus far, but was a good learning experience on what not to do next time.
I don't know... pretty easy. I tried my hand at wet-blending a bit around the face. Tried to blend a grey-blue into the dark teal.
This is just after all the washes.
I've been going at these guys for a couple of days. It was really in the ugly phase for a white... if you understand what I mean. I guess it all came together. I'm not too happy with the bases... the problem in the game is that the location changes so much that there really isn't a base scheme that would fit (from carpet to a junkyard to a town, etc.). I'll go with just black for now until later in the game I notice something that captures it perfectly.
My daughter and I have started playing a game called Stuffed Fables from Plaid Hat Games. It's an okay game... it's cute. I started priming up the models to paint tonight. They seem quite simple so hopefully they go quick.
