#Metal

Mail day

Old Mage Knight metal activation tokens finally landed for $5 — opening up the box and figuring out what to do with them.

Failed attempt at NMM tutorial

Recorded a full non-metal metallic tutorial, lost the footage, and laid in highlight passes anyway to keep the streak alive — plus calling time on a model I've got a hundred hours into.

RIP to my heat gun

Painting a glowing gemstone with fluorescent orange glazes — and losing the heat gun I inherited from my grandfather in the process.

Highlighting black

Glazing up from Tenebris Gray to pearl gray for the dark panels — plus a sink ripping off the wall, another bout of sickness, and thoughts on a new Army Painter wet palette.

Kal Arath Live Play Session 1

NMM Blue Steel Scales and an Existential Crisis

Painting non-metallic blue steel scales with Scale Color Artist paints while having a late-night breakdown about the hobby, commissions, and what I'm even doing.

More Progress on the Normans

Painting leather, chainmail highlights, gold buckles, blue fabric, and skin tones on a Norman foot soldier—getting close to a finished test model.
