Laura got the stocks for Day 2. This model is from the Dungeons & Lasers Legacy Extras pack from their recent kickstarter. It's a nice hard plastic and has a good amount of detail on it.
She used Army Painter Brush-On Primer (grey) for the primer, but regretted it shortly afterwards. Perhaps the bottle's gone a bit old or needs remixing or something, but it was really sticky and uneven and made the rest of the painting awkward for her.
She managed to come out on top though and gave it some nice details like rusty bolts on the supports.
Day 3 - Notice Board
I got to paint this cool notice board from Oathsworn Miniatures (of Burrows & Badgers fame) for day 3.
I primed it with my airbrush and used a mixture of P3, Citadel Contrast and Citadel Layer paints to do the wood. I haven't bothered with the ground much as I'll probably mount it onto a terrain piece at some point.
I tried my hand at small detail work with the notices, but my 1mm high handwriting is even worse than my regular sized handwriting so it just came out as squiggles.
Day 4 - Dryad
Laura got a Wood Elf Dryad by Games Workshop for her second model. Lots of painting wood so far!
Once again the brush on primer was tried but it did the same thing so she washed it off and it was given an airbrush prime instead. She did a mixture of highlighting and drybrush work for the bark, and the leaves were Citadel Loren Forest, which contrasted well with the wood.
