Painting in Space: September 2011
http://sammrichardson.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 19, 2011. Bowie Battle Bunker Official Grand Opening. It has been a nearly inexcusable length of time since I've last posted. Many reasons for this, all of which I won't bore you with. I'm posting now! So I heard tell that they were going to finally officially open the Games Workshop Battle Bunker in Bowie, Maryland. It's a very short trip from my house, and when they announced that they were going to have some cool flags for sale, I thought I'd check it out. My first Finecast models!

Painting in Space: Ork Blitza-Bommer All Done
http://sammrichardson.blogspot.com/2014/03/ork-blitza-bommer-all-done.html
Thursday, March 20, 2014. Ork Blitza-Bommer All Done. Here's the Finished Product! I completed the base this evening. Unless I decide to add some flocking or grass tufts (which I'm likely to do). The painting, at the very least, is totally complete. I kept the base simple, but focused on some weathered accents in the abandoned oil drum, and rusted bucket. I really enjoyed mucking up these two items, especially the barrel. I Love Rust and Such. I dabbed Vallejo Pigment (or weathering powder) Dark Red Ochr...

Painting in Space: August 2012
http://sammrichardson.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 25, 2012. Secret Weapon Miniatures Resin Bases First Impressions. I'll gladly pay someone to do this for me. I'm not a fan of making bases myself. I've done it, and I might even dare say that I've done it well in a few cases. Nothing fancy, nothing amazing, but clean and simple bases for models I intend to use quite often. When I started working on my Imperial Guard, I wanted to really try. Enter Secret Weapon Miniatures. What I was looking for on Secret Weapon's site. Here they are!

Painting in Space: Painting Checkers Tutorial
http://sammrichardson.blogspot.com/2014/02/painting-checkers-tutorial.html
Wednesday, February 26, 2014. I just wanted to go through my process for painting the checker pattern for my Orks. There might be some other Ork players out there that haven't given this a go. It's dead simple and it can really set off a model. Here we go then. 5 (Optional) Use a sepia wash to dirty up the checks, dulling the white. This helps tie the pattern back into the model. Weathering the checks is another great option. You can use a medium grey shade to show chipped paint or even just ...That's it...

Painting in Space: April 2014
http://sammrichardson.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 26, 2014. Adepta Sororitas (Sisters of Battle) Army Commission Project WIP (Part 2). Five down and 36 more to go. GUH! I shouldn't say it like that. How about one squad down and seven more to go? Thoughts About the Models. I'm becoming more familiar with these models now. I want to remind people just how old these sculpts are. Some of these models are on the near side of almost 20 years old. That's INSANE! Posted by Sam Richardson. Links to this post. Thursday, April 24, 2014. Yes I've co...

Painting in Space: Boom Bombs go BOOM!
http://sammrichardson.blogspot.com/2014/03/boom-bombs-go-boom.html
Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Boom Bombs go BOOM! Before you are the two "Boom Bombs" for the Blitza-Bommer that I've been working on. I didn't spend a heap load of time on them since they're both mostly concealed by the actual flyer. Magnets were added so that I can remove them during play as the bombs are obviously one use only. I did take it as an opportunity to try out a few techniques while painting these:. Steel Wool to dab on paint to make scratches. Bit more complex checkers and jaggies. As yet anot...

Painting in Space: July 2011
http://sammrichardson.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 17, 2011. Firestorm Armada: Aquan Update 3. Battleship and Cruisers complete! Frigates are up next, and I'm hoping to get them finished before the week is up. That's a challenge, with my schedule. But I'm going to give it the old college try. First order of business will be to drill out the mounting points on the ships for the flight stands. For some reason, they're all a little malformed, and all in the same way. Nothing I can't fix. Here are a few more pics of the finished ships:. So many ...
