Merry Christmas!

Hey all,

I wish you and your families a very happy Christmas. I hope you'll have a nice few days :-). With the family part over day after tomorrow, I might even get some painting done - especially to try the new magnifying goggles my brother got me :-).

Best wishes,


IK-Painter

From Zero to Hero XI: The Lancer - Cygnar Light Warjack

Hey Guys!

Today, I want to walk you through the process of painting a Lancer Light Warjack. My models up to this point where always very new and clean looking - and since I wanted to experiment with weathering anyway, this model was the perfect opportunity to start.
