What did you do today.

[The Other Dave]

Today I put down the deposit on some land to start building my true-scale terrain project. Now my wife and I just need to finalise the main points of the building design to send to the bank to get our loan approved and hey presto I'm in debt for the next 35 years. Woo!

Welcome to Mortgage Land! Enjoy your stay!

I finished up a simple little terrain piece and continued to think seriously about getting back to work on the Light Dragoons on the painting bench.

Some more pansies for the RT revival.

Spev - nice colours, mate. What yellows do you use? They look ideal for nomnomnom gold.

They do work very well for that mate.

I use a range that is sold at DIO world in Jusco Yokkaichi Kita.

I think it's this stuff ;

Met the Madmiral and did a deal. I now own enough for 3 new mobs of boyz, half a dozen kanz and a battlewagon, all at a very reasonable price.
Watched 2 world cup games (perhaps the only two which were at a half-sensible time to watch), witnessed both England and Japan lose, which was not a good start. I only really take a vague interest in football for international matches like these, but it's a little disappointing. Perhaps some hobby tomorrow.

Nice work, spev. I shall have to get to work on my own oldies.

Me too; I've got enough 'stealer culstists now that I think there's a Hive Fleet approaching ...

One for after the house move, perhaps.

For that style of yellow, I'd go with a solid ochre-ish yellow for a basecoat, a brown wash and highlight with yellow and ivory. I use Vallejo Model Color Goldbrown, GW Seraphim Sepia then highlight with Sunburst Yellow then VMC Ivory.

Today I got a bit more paint on some IG and some Ashigaru. I also went to the local DIY shop and started pricing up some shelving racks.

That's pretty much it. My went like;

Leather brown
Ochre brown
Yellow
Lemon yellow
Brown wash

Those are not actual paint names, just approximations.

As AGP said, an Ivory is good as a final highlight to make it pop.
