Hello and welcome again to Painting Lohr.  This week I wanted to show you another location to see some of my models.

This time I went over to Scifi Genre!  https://www.scifigenre.com/


Here is some Khorne Daemons!  I love Khorne by the way.


These are some more lord of the rings models.  You can see the Army of the dead on the left and some ring wraiths on the right.


This is a display of two dungeons and dragons models as well as my business card.


Here is some chaos knights, chaos warriors, and chaos hounds.  These models are for sale, email me if you have any questions.


And finally here is the full display in the case!


I would like to thanks Zach and the entire crew at Scifi Genre for letting me display some models in there great store.

Well that is all this week.  Next week we will get back to some more painting and modeling.  Please let me know if you would like to see anything in particular.  Thank and see you next week.

Hello all and welcome to Painting Lohr.  It has been a busy week for me so sorry I am a bit late with the post.  Recently I have been working on my army for my "Building an army" series but am not ready to post again yet...still color choices to make.  I also finished the rest of the chaos army I have been working on.  Those pictures will be up soon.  As for now I will show you some more models I did for my expanding D&D group, hope you enjoy.

Here is a human avenger I did.  I am placing them on the WOTC dungeon tiles for a little background.


This was an eladrin wizard.


This was originally an elf fighter, but the player decided to change to an elf bard.


This was a model I did for a guy that is no longer in our group.  It was a dragonborn warlord.  Funny thing we just had another guy join our group and he wanted to play the same thing... so everything worked out.


Please let me know what you think.

I am working hard and trying to get my models out there.  I will post next week about another location you can see my models.

I also want to thank my friends and family for being so supportive in these past few months.

That's all for now, see you next time.

Hello all!!! Recently a local game store called All Fun and Games allowed me to put some of my models on display.

Here is the store website http://www.allfunngames.com/


In the front you can see my business card along with my D&D sorcerer on the left and some Warriors of Chaos to the right.


In the front you can see some of my old Khorn daemons, Kharn, and a Khorn lord.  On the right you can see a sisters of battle as well as two grey knights.  My money is on the daemons.


Here you see some Lord of the Rings figures.  You have the army of the dead as well as the king of the dead on the left.  On the right you see Sauron, the Mouth of Sauron, the Witch King and some ring wraiths.


Here is a short video I shot of the entire display.


Please let me know what you think.

Soon I should have Building an amy part 3 for you.  I am getting into some painting decisions so it is taking me a little time.

Building an army part 2

Hello and welcome again to Building an army.  Today I wanted to show you a little of what I am dealing with here...

This is just two of many trays that I have of chaos daemons, so many!


So one big task that needs to be done is to clean the models, as you can see there is some flashing as well as some molding lines.


So first I got to get me some tools!  From left to right you have spring loaded pliers, flat clippers, triangle file, round file, needle teasers, and an exact o knife.


Next, it's time to get the flashing off, stupid flashing! 
(by the way flashing is the little metal bits still attached to the model)


Now I am going to file off the mold lines.


So now I have to bend the legs.  To do this I wrapped the model in a paper towel first so I don't damage it and then I slowly bend the legs to get them into the position that I need them to be in to fit on the bases.


Now I glue the model on the base.  Some people have a preference to paint the models and bases separate.  For me it depends on what project I am working on. 


I attached the weapon and there you have it. 
One...one assembled...he he he, long way to go.


So there you have it.  This is the process that I will be using to assemble all my models for this army.  Lot's of people have posted things regarding cleaning and prepping models to paint, so now I have.  Please let me know what you think.  

Till next week, take care.
