Suppose I’d better introduce myself..
Rhodri is my real name, from the middle of nowhere in the glorious Welsh mountains but now living and working in London..
Landscape photography is my main hobby, but with looking after my kids and work I hardly ever get a proper chance to do that these days.. Other hobbies include any sport that is liable to send me to A&E on a regular basis; rugby, American football and currently as an ice hockey goalie, which is kind of what has led me here. Eventually I want to paint my goalie mask..
As is fairly common with me, I have jumped in with both feet. I found what seemed to me to be good prices on an Iwata HP-C and Olympos SP B as my brushes and some Com Art paint... The Iwata will be the one to start with obviously. I’ve also plumbed for a Bambi compressor, and will be attempting to fudge together a painting booth out of a sheet of acrylic and an inline extractor fan.
I have very little experience of painting, only really dabbling a bit with models when I was younger. I figured that for the same price as paying for someone to do my lid, I could buy the stuff and try and teach myself a new skill whilst I was at it... I don’t plan on letting myself loose on the lid anytime soon though, I think a little bit of practice is in order first!
If anyone is bored and fancies a look, some of my photos are here. They are unfortunately primarily just glorified holiday snaps and my kids these days though
