I’ve struggled to paint for a while now, so it’s great to finally put brush to miniature for the first time in ages. The mini I’ve been working on to break this paint-induced slump is a Wizard’s tower I printed some ago, when my FDM printer was still in a usable state. I can’t seem to get it tuned any more.
It’s also my chance to finally review the drybrushing kit from Notts Hobbies.

Although the unboxing post was published in October, the brushes arrived in September and I was able to complete one miniature using them before the painting drought began. Namely, this was my third Transcendant C’Tan Shard:

I didn’t feel this was enough to base a review on, however, and I do feel guilty that I’ve let this set sit for so long without the attention I had intended to give it. Now, though, I’m working on this tower:




There are a few struts missing. I must have printed them at some point, but I’ve no idea where they’ve gone. I’m just going with it. A review will be forthcoming once I finish the piece… finally.
This is also my first time using Vallejo Game Wash. With the sheer amount of surface area that I needed to paint, it seemed foolish to use Games Workshop’s Nuln Oil. It would just take too much of that expensive liquid. Game Wash seems more affordable.

I do like Vallejo, and have used their texture pastes extensively. If this turns out well, I have a lot more terrain I could use this on…
