Airbrush: My First Garage Kit


The good thing about late summer: Airbrushing on the balcony. I still use a mask with particle filter though, because aerosols have the nasty effect of gunking up your lungs when breathed in. Looking at the filter discoloring so far, not a bad idea. Working with an airbrush that costs ten times what my old one cost is fun. The brush just works and you can finely dose the paint. And compressors don't freeze in the middle of working unlike gas cans.

Pics of my first garage kit to come once assembly is completed. Here is something related, though. To get in the mood.

New Year, slightly different me...

New years resolutions time!


  1. Read more books!
    I can't believe I only managed to read four books in 2017. Unacceptable! At least twelve for 2018! I have already started with one of my Christmas presents, Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky
  2. Work on the pewter mountain!
    I have too much unpainted miniatures! Let brush be whetted, paintpot be opened! Also trying for at least one a month!
  3. Eat less crap!
    obv. I'll also try to reduce the amount of recipes I regularly cook that start with "Chuck a pig/cow into a blender..." soo basically less meat.
  4. Paint at least one of my Garage Kits!
    Bought a Paintbrush entirely too expensive to only use it on terrain and for basecoating models. Should I start with the badass action-girl with a pistol, the cute action girl with a rifle, the badass commando with rifle and pistol or the ninja-chick in a fetish-outfit with epic hair, who is actually the legendary Medusa given human form and summoned to fight in a battle of mages (I swear it makes sense in context!)
  5. Listen to more music!
    Looking at my smartphone, I listened to two albums from 2016 and 2015 and a bunch of soundtracks this year. Not much else.
  6. Sacrifice less souls to Nerzibuul the Betrayer, Prince of the Seventh Darkness, Patron of slightly misaligned backpack straps!
    No comment...
  7. Use less exclamation marks!
    Whoops....



I don't know which one of them I am...
