MORE BLOGGING Coming Soon!

So it has been almost a year since I last posted something here. It has been a very CRAZY year for me so far. Crazy up and down stuff. So much realization and so much appreciation for all the blessings. Don't want to get dragging with life lessons and such, for my first post, so just wanted to say I AM BACK!



Will be posting a ton of stuff from now on. I just got meself a nice 27 inch iMAC for all the stuff I have to do at home. I will be posting all my projects here in my blog for documentation. I will post some miniature painting stuffs, illustrations, drawings and other ART and CRAZY stuff! This little space will be so active again.



Will never post about my day job tho. Posts will be mostly focused on my hobby and various commissioned works. I might also get back to painting Gunpla, mainly to test some cool acrylics paints for Acrylicos Vallejo.



Anyways, hope to share a lot the next few from now on! See you more guys! 

DC23MechArts Weekend Photo Dump 060215

The past week was so eventful for me! I got my box full of Vallejo paints, a couple of models from Privateer Press, my wife's birthday, a handful of WarmaHordes models to add to my army, painted a lot of commissioned models and got some tools from my younger brother who went to Japan for research work. Cool week!



Lazy to write today as I need to go home early to paint some more models! So I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy them ( lol )! Some people love taking selfies ( photos of themselves ), I love taking some workbenchies ( photos of my work bench )... so pardon the loads of photos of my workbench every week.



Anyways, thanks for wasting your time here. Until next post, just enjoy the hobby! :)

Warmachine Hordes Weekend Photo Dump 051815

I was not too productive last weekend as me and my son played a lot of games. We just got the Warmachine PRIME MKII Rule Book ( at long last ) and enjoyed playing the games with an almost complete rule ( my son hates the terrain rules as he plays Khador ). We had to swap armies a couple of times ( Cryx vs Khador ) as he loves my stealth models.



Me and my son also got a few additional units and models for our Cryx and Khador army. I got a Necrotech and a unit of Scrap Thralls and my son got a unit of sexy Kayazy Elminators and a unit of Doomreavers. Obviously we only play assassination games, thus my son requests for assassination models. My son is also requesting for a full unit of Assault Kommandos to counter my Bile Tralls.



I did manage to squeeze time to work with the new models and some commissioned works.

As I am painting a ton of models ( commissioned works and personal army ), I thought I just mix some seldom used old Vallejo paints for the base color of the ground work. Vallejo says that all their paints can be mixed together so I gave it a try.



I used a Panzer Aces color mixed with a Game color Extra Opaque paint, thinned with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner. As expected if you know your medium well enough and is well accustomed to thinning Vallejo acrylics for airbrush use, it will work mighty fine! And it did! Great stuff as I saved my precious Vallejo Game Airs for painting the base color of the ground work of all the bases of the models in the photos below.



I was also able to do a bit of work on my Extreme Warp Wolf commissioned work and pretty happy with the dry-brushing results so far. A ton more updates and surprise Gunpla posts coming soon! Thanks as always for dropping by! Just enjoy the hobby! :)
