So, the display board is finished. I've opted for a sensible three headstones in a line, added some more foliage and left it at that. Happy with the end result. In addition to the board, my goal for the Morticians is finished. Also, two of the players are now wrapped - Casket and Dirge. This weekend I'll be attending a two-day painting course run by Siege Studios . In my local gaming group there are no other painters - which makes it different to gauge how well you do things; as I'm keen to improve as a painter, here's hoping this will assist in unlearning bad habits and learning good/better ones. I've also changed how pictures are hosted so if you click them they'll expand, rather than redirecting you to PhotoBucket.

Hobby has taken a backseat over the last few weeks as my last job finished up and I'm hunting for the next (the downside of becoming a contractor) which sucked up free time and meant my figures aren't getting painted while I try to find someone to give me money in return for work. However, I'm back into hobby stuff this week and managed to make progress on a side project that I've wanted to get going for a while - a display and travel board for my Guild Ball Morticians team. It started life as a Mob Football tray from Bendy Boards (love these guys) but wasn't quite sufficient for my needs. The black mat you can see peeking through is magnetic sheeting, and I've attached metal washers to the underside of all my figures. It's strong stuff and you can turn the populated board upside down and nothing falls out. I wanted the board to have a little character, so using some plaster resin (you can see it in the first picture) I built some stone walls. Aft
