Powdering one's nose...
I am pretty sure the one qualifies as the most 'exotic' of the videos. Essentially, it is a very extreme version of painting with the weathering powders (these were Secret Weapon pigments). I did...

Using those extra pieces!
OK, here we go. I spent about 8 hours filing and prepping stuff today, so I worked in some of the terradon conversions. I put together the Rippers, carefully trying to keep the left over terradon...

Preparing for war (or weathering)
I shot these images as I was working on the freehand for the Weathering video. There is nothing that works in such a mutually supporting way as freehand and weathering.When you combine the two...

While I'm at it...
I needed to film a new segment on Baking sculpey for the basing videos, which meant rolling out lots of new sculpey.Since I did not want to simply roll out a pound of sculpey without much additional...

We continue with the bases and movement tray for Kroak's Temple Guard unit.By this point, I had glued the pieces of sculpey to the foam core pieces. I also cut the 'edging' pieces, and glued those as...
