Update 4-30: Bikes and News

I haven't updated this blog in a couple weeks but that doesn't mean I haven't been painting.  I finished up highlighting and tattooing the final DOA linemen.  The entire team is ready to be put on their bases.  Now I need to get the bases ready.  The bases have been primed and I will start putting painting them up and prepping the lettering.  I hope to have that work done by next week.

I also got started on some of the sideline fluff and the markers for the team.  I will be painting up some bikes as the ones the team road in on.  I started by priming the bikes black and wet brushing Citadel Chainmail  over them.  I painted some areas with Vallejo MC Black.  After that is done the next step is using a black wash over the models.  That is as far as any models are done to this point.  Here are some of them.

The bikes are all starting out looking pretty much the same but they'll each get their own extras to separate them.  There will be a total of five sideline bikes and a sixth bike will carry the teams apothecary.  I am very excited for getting these guys pitch ready.  I think a goal of 5/31/14 to have the whole thing finished seems obtainable, so that is what I'm shooting for.  This team is set to make its tournament debut in mid-July. 

Update 4-14: Runners

Holy cow!  It has been a crazy long time since I have updated this thing.  Over a month!  Not only have I not updated, but I haven't even painted.  Like everyone else, blah blah happened and I didn't do anything with this.  Now the weather is actually nice so I have yard work to add to the list of distraction.  Oh well.  I finally put some paint to metal and finished up a few more miniatures.  Here are Half Sack and Juice.

 Why do they call you Half Sack?

 I'm a Puerto Rican from the Bronx, I speak better Yiddish.

One of my many distractions has been changing phones and thus cameras.  These suck but hopefully I can make them better.  Four linemen to finish highlighting then I can move on to the bases.  Then I can start on the sideline stuff and Piney, the Death Trike.  The goal is to have this team ready for Zlurpee Bowl in July.
