Ke-Ho Colours

Ke-Ho Colours 1

Some colour thoughts: The following colours are inspired by Battlefront’s hobby article on painting 15mm WW2 Japanese armour. I’ve no idea how accurate this is and frankly don’t really care: they’re just inspiration for me as the Empire of the Blazing Sun never existed and ball tanks aren’t a real thing either.

Ke-Ho Ironclad Assembly

Ke-Ho Ironclad Assembly 2

Didn’t feel like painting this evening so I busted out the Ke-Ho and started doing some assembly.

However, for the moment it’s about the big stuff: 32mm. The Dust vehicles are pretty cool as they come with … Read more

Dust Winterchild II

Dust Winterchild II 6

Winterchild is complete. I’m pretty happy with how he came up. The metallic effect has worked pretty well. I used an ink instead of the washes I’ve experimented with previously and it made things quite a bit easier. I needed fewer coats to get a nice colouration and the coverage is much easier to manage. … Read more
