@Spev- Can't wait to dispense some law on that board. Great stuff.

The typhoon is here. It's perfect weather for painting! 
Forget about yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow because all that matters is today.

Re: What did you do today.
Cheers lads
Making it was pretty simple really.
1. Nail cheap plywood board to leftover bits of wood for strength and support.
2. Glue foam board/blocks onto plywood sheets to look like ruins.
3. Swirl modeling plaster around the surfaces in groovy patterns and directions.
That's basically how I made it.
Painting was a little bit of a pain.
1. Look for black acrylic paint in my office, and find none.
2. Pop down to the local 100¥ shop and buy loads of calligraphy ink instead.
3. Apply a liberal mix of water, pva, and black ink to everything.
4. Frantically clean up after, and spend 30 minutes wiping up ink.
5. Dry brush with crimson, red, orange, light orange, yellow, pale yellow.

@jus: Beautiful highlighting on the rhino, armor and the rocks. I also like the shading on the faces.
Today I worked on work. Now I'll head home and make sure to buy white bread. But if I have any energy I'll put decals on my French Panhards.

Re: What did you do today.
@Jus - Nice work. The guy in the middle, is that an Empire Greatsword he's carrying? Looks good.
Today I bought a new fridge and a new washing machine as the ones I currently have decided to breakdown within days of each other. Yay massive expenditure! Woo!!
After that I did some work on some Ashigaru and some Samurai.
