Stryker with snow

Ok, so I did finish my first warmachine model, Commander Stryker from Cygnar. Not only was this my first Warmachine model but it was also my first real attempt to make a snowbase and some NMM for the sword. The NMM is a real challange and I can honestly say that I´m a long way from beeing able to using the NMM technique. Maybe I´ll do another attempt on a different model another day, but I´m glad that I gave it a shoot!
The strukture of the base was built using sand, some bark from a tree (fore the stone)and some folige from a blister pack. After the regular glueing and painting I covered the base with some Foam & snow (from Vallejo) and then I took some natron and sprinkled over the "snow", took me about 2 miniutes to do the "snow" and I´m rather pleased with the result considering the time it took. What do you think?

Untill next time, happy painting!

WIP Warmachine

Ok, long time since my last post. The truth is that i haven´t had time to paint as much recently. Work, family and illnes had pretty much occupied my time the last week or so. But, I have put some paint on Strykers sword, but I can´t get it right. My intension was to try some NMM (None metallic metals) for the first time, it turned out to be much harder than I could imagine! Maybe some of you can point me in the right direction?

Next time there will be a pice about my latest purchase, water effect (transparent gel) from Vallejo!

Untill next time, happy painting!
