This week's Update

Had a bit of a lazy week hobby wise this week. I'm pending an order from Hasslefree so decided to revisit my earlier miniatures I painted and touch them up abit. I did get my  set of Double Agents finished as well but in a rush this morning completly forgot to take them with me to work to take pictures. I may well post them later in the week.

I did some before and after pictures just because my eyes blur detail and only when taking photos can I see the bloody mistakes some quite ridiculous to be honest. The photos are all before then after shots I include two of baker as the changes can only be seen from cert angles. Dionne I'm still not sure about the face.
























This week I read Autumn by David Moody. This is the first book in the series and details the start of the Zombie Apocalypse. I found it to be a great read and does things a lot different to your normal Zombie book from how they awaken and react and its a slow burn. I can't wait to get my hand on the next book but have got to wait for the Library to get hold of it.

    The camera can be so cruel, but hats off to you in taking the time to go back and make amends. The guy with the fire axe always makes me chuckle!

    Thanks for the tip on Autumn, always looking for an excuse to order up some more zeds.

    There's nothing wrong with your paintwork, Simon. They all look good to me.

    Thanks for the book review. I like to go off other people's recommendations as I usually find that if they like it, I'll like it. Mr. Moody is quite a prolific author.

    Its just saft stuff like the black spod on maddogs right leg and cheek. flesh missing from grants eye, highlights missing and stuff i'm just not happy with.

    @Michael Its annoying because I don't spot them until the photo then when i look at the figure its so obvious.

    @Vampifan Autumn was great I read it in 2 days which has been unusual for me as lately its took me weeks to read some books. I'm reading 'The Dead' by Charlie Higson at the moment and thats being devoured at the same rate.

    Those came out very nice. As said, the fireman is an excellent model and you've done a great job on it.

    Fantastic paint jobs! I loved Autumn. I was lucky enough to get the book way back when it was available for free download and when I met Mr Moody last year he was kind enough to sign the first page of the manuscript for me. He's a really nice guy too! Highly recommended read!
