Work on Horus is almost complete, can you believe it? All that's left to do is final corrections, assembly, and a few minor repairs. I want to finish him as my final project for 2024, and that also includes the display base, which I haven't started yet. Hope I can make it!

Hey folks, I updated my Vallejo Game Color swatch to V1.2. Thanks to workflow improvements, I was able to improve the accuracy of most colours, so I highly suggest downloading the new version, it's free! I also added a second version of the chart, in which I arranged the colours in the same order as in Vallejo's Game Color flyer.

I'm still working on Horus, taking my time. He's about 80% finished, most assembly groups are pretty much done. Now I need to do final assembly, fixing mistakes, and filling in a few more details like the flow effect around his head. And, of course, the display base, which is at the moment completely untouched. Want to finish him this year :)

I wasn't able to share a hobby update in a while, because the last two weeks I was working on painting my "secret" signature Stahly miniature. So, with my miniature done, I decided to finish Horus. I still have a couple of sub-assemblies left, such as the arms, fur cloak, and cape. And overall assembly and polishing of course. Besides Horus I grabbed a few Heroquest miniatures as test pieces for AK's new acrylic markers. The Real Color markers are already out and pretty good, for the Playmark...

This is a professional reproduction of the entire Two Thin Coats range (waves 1, 2, and 3). Each square has been hand-painted on primed plasticard, professionally photographed under consistent, neutral 5500K (daylight) lighting, and edited on a colour-calibrated screen. This makes this paint swatch more accurate than any other conversion table or colour-picking app! The colours on this chart are also cross-compatible with my other paint swatches. Perfect for comparing colours across various pai...
