The Work Desk and what is coming off it ATM

Happy New Year all,
                                  I wanted to share a picture of my painting desk as it is ATM (it has been cleaner). Also some shots of work I am doing or have finished.

First up some GW empire figures for a commission



A 15mm SYW General my Dad asked me to paint up (and I have sent off as an example of my 15mm painting)


4 of our FIW figures (that me and my Dad BTW)

A unit of Romo-Brits I finished this last year but have 3 more units on the desk on the go.

Exiles Sunday Sermon #1

I thought that I would take the time every Sunday to pass on a tip or advice that to some would seem simple but you would be surprised how it helps others.
My first tip is to do with undercoat, I like most use spray paint (black is my choice) and you will all know that it is very hard to get to all those undercuts, you find yourself in odd yogic poses trying to finish that all over undercoat.
My answer was to find this product, Black Primer

(other brush on primers are out there I just love this one)

Now I give my figures a good all over spray in the garage, then take them up to my paint room and brush on the primer in all those missed bits

Job Done...
