New Comics - 9.22.10...

A light, yet SOLID week for me...starting off with Star Trek - Burden of Knowledge #4, GI Combat Haunted Tank One shot, The Walking Dead #77 and Girls #1 (1 for $1)...









...and a blind buy on Brightest Day #10 and Brighest Day - Emerald Warriors #2 because of the awesome covers...





..and artwork like this...

Weekend progress...FW190...

Nose mottling complete (?)...





Wheel strut detailing...small wires used for detail - they are the tiny silver pieces. Yes, I am mad...

Camo...two coats...FW190...

Now we're getting somewhere...Second coat of camo...German dark grey...

New Comics....Sept 15..Part Two...my new favorite Batman comic...

Instead of a Cover of the Week this week, instead how about Find of the Week? Batman and Robin issues 13 and 14...which include parts 1 and 2 of a new arc entitled 'Batman and Robin must die!.' These two issues have blown away any other Batman book I've seen currently...





...and its mainly because of panels like this...wow...

New Comics...September 15, 2010...

Star Trek Captain's Log: Pike #1...



Amazing Spider-Man 642 and 643...





Our Fighting Forces: The Losers #1...gotta say the war one-shots have not been as good as I initially thought they would be. Some good ideas and stories almost ruined by poor art and a rushed feel. Oh well, at least the covers are cool...



Thor - For Asgard #2...

First level of camo...FW190...

First mottling with grey green mixed with a bit of german grey...I still think it needs a darker color to finish it off.s

Pale Blue airbrushing...FW190...

First coat.
