| Some ghostly hounds |
So, we had a Hobby Day this past weekend. Six of us got together in my basement to work on various projects, with very little overlap. I was not very focused but I feel I was fairly successful. I managed to make some progress on some barrow downs, some Dwarf leader figures for Fantastic Battles and even started painting some new Ninja warriors.

| 3D printed barrows |
These are really nice models with great detail. I used a variety of browns for the mound using a stipple effect to give some more texture and a variety to the colour. The rocks were also done with many craft paints, working up from a grey primer to mudstone, dark grey, light grey and very light grey. I dry brushed the rocks for the most part, the mudstone was over brushed while the dark grey was just dabbed on. They still need a sepia wash over the rocks and, of course, flock for the mounds.
I also dug out some ninja figures for no particular reason, and got a good start on them. Primed white, they had a light blue contrast paint over them leaving them almost baby blue. So an application of Drakenhof Nightshade brought them back in line.
The Nightshade wash seemed like a nice touch so I tried them on some Blink Dogs (the pics at the top of the page) I used a light dry brush over them to bring out some of the detail. Still toying around with them.
Post Hobby Day I was inspired to work on some MDF kits. Up first was a Sarissa refinery that I plan to convert to an old abandoned lumber mill. Another nice easy to build kit, helped by the fact that I have already built the not ruined version some time ago.
The next kit is one from Blotz, a sky skiff for VSF gaming. Again a straight forward kit but will look quite nice once done.
