Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Congrats on surviving another orbit. I hope your days get easier. 120
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Re-did the eyes and got a start on the horns. There's so many of them at all these weird twisty angles that they're going to take a while, especially since I can only physically paint for an hour to an hour and a half on a good day. Have a week left to finish! 3374
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Making progress. Think I'm done with the back scales. Still working on the face. Not sure where I want to go with the chest color. #Reaperminiatures #dragon 2374
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Reaper Dragon bust I picked up and started a couple of years ago. Going to try and get him done for the show on Oct. 10th. Using the previous work as a basecoat. So far done with the red scales and the outer rows of rust. Probably done with teeth? 0254
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Finished! After decades in the drawer of doom. Old GW Skrag the Slaughterer with some old metal wings and a Rottweiler from Bombshell Miniatures. #oldhammer #GamesWorkshop #Jhbackdrops 28713
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Think I'm done except for the wings spikes? We'll see how I feel about it in t he morning. #oldhammer #gamesworkshop 1397
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Down to the wings and then I can put him on the base and tie them together with some pigments. 2264

Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I do that. Sadly, as often as the major brands change their formulas, after 20 years the odds of getting the same end result from the same colors are pretty low. 120
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Re-did the green on the armor. Added purple for the deep shadows and punched up the highlights. Of course that doesn't show up worth a damn here. Re-did the basecoat on the wings. Made good progress on the base with Skowt as well. 0333
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 19/09/2026You actually got something from him? Wow. I just got a bunch of excuses and never got my figures. 000
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Had the parts for this concept for... decades. Finally got inspired to work on him. Ogre is the old Skragg the Slaughterer from GW. Not sure where I got the wings. Anyway, finished with the face other than the earrings. So far, so good! 1293

Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Test base for my Sisters. Black base coat. Red Fleur de lis with Pro Acryl reds, then a Sand Flory wash for the grout. Nice thing about the Flory washes is they cleanup with water. Slop it on, wait a few minutes and then come back with a moist q-tip to clean up. 0142
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Friend was at the Warlord Games Open Day and scored me a set of pins. Woohoo! I particularly like the Schreckwolf and Totencorp ones. 062

Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Found this last night while going through paperwork. I think I picked up the packet of cartoons this is part of when I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall back in the 80s. Anyway, with Dolly's passing, I thought folk could use a chuckle. 071
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 26/08/2026So, we've lost 2 80 year old folks this week. Third times the charm, right? Some happy to counteract the sad? 130
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Love the look of the Infinity figures but the rules left me cold. 120
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Nice thing about playing historicals: no one is going to cancel your figures. Worst thing is if you have to change the basing. Warlord made a concious effort with K47 2nd edition to ensure that you could still play with everything that was already out for the game. 120
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I was on this ride from Rogue Trader till 5th and got out. A "friend" convinced me to get back for 9th and 2 months later 10th dropped. Have played maybe 6 games and have to say I haven't really enjoyed them. 11th seems to be bringing back "codex creep" with a vengeance. 120
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Gotta say with all the new information coming out for 11th edition and new Codices, my desire to pull the handles and eject myself from that whole game system keeps getting stronger. Plenty of other games to play that won't require selling a kidney or downloading apps to get basic (point) info. 150
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Mk II Soviet Heavy Armor, "Red Guardian" squad finished. Phew. Time to paint something NOT red! #konflict47 0152

Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Little bit of lightning out east of us. Hopefully it stays there! 131
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 21/08/2026WTF! That's freaking revolting! How could someone look at that and go "Yeah! That's the image I want for my ad"!? 030
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Calling Emissary Fabian finished. Need to paint the base edge and add some vegetation but the figure is finished. Fun figure to experiment with some different paints. 1124
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Making progress on Emissary Fabian from the old Inquisitor game. Tried out the new Monument 1 step paints on the bigger areas of clothing. Not bad straight. Mixed in some pale yellow to punch up the high points and add texture. Pretty happy so far. 0122
Michael Adams @trygon5.bsky.social · 19/08/2026WiP of Quavandus. Old 54mm figure for GWs Inquisitor game. Painting for a friend who's coming to town next week. Been on the shelf of doom for a LONG time. Decided to knock him out. Still loads to do but happy with the progress so far. 1102
