I'm afraid that ceramics is right out till next year when I have my finances in order graven. So sorry as I would have loved to keep making things for people.

I'm interested in that rhino steingass, but only if its going cheap. I think its a bit far to post unless its a bargain.

Yet another distraction from painting has entered my life I'm afraid - Oblivion - the Elder Scrolls IV. Seems fairly massive on first inspection. Plus I have a feeling I'm getting fallout new vegas for Crimbo; so you can expect new painting updates in a year or two...

very lame of me - maybe I will paint while my other half plays on the x-box (he did buy it after all)

The Rhino has already changing hands I'm afraid, it is a nce one.

Sorry Weety, the PM came in almost immediately after I posted it.

But I see them from time to time, I'll be sure to keep you in mind.

No worries dude! Its a fine looking specimen - to be honest I would rather get a mangled piece of (s)crap and do it up nice like as I will probably get a better deal and I enjoy the challenge of putting them back together.

While sourcing the autocannon for the truck I ended up with a pile of spare parts - these modern multi-part kits are a bit new to me - I keep dropping bits and they roll under the bed - but I have got some assembled anyway. Here they are, my first "new school" figures.

They look too squeaky clean and respectable for this thread. Perhaps if they were dirtier, unshaven, and had rips and patches on their uniforms??

I'm really diggin' the vehicles you are producing. They add a bit more character to your already "characterful" collection, which has got to be growing to shelf busting proportions.

Not painted yet

Yes - hopefully given a lick of paint they will fit in better. Might take me a while I have to admit.

More like double shelf busting!

I have two shelves full of minis now and I need to do some good army shots, but its a whole new approach to photography for me. A wide shot that still gives a good level of focus, so I need a tripod and I need a much bigger backdrop as well.

This is hilarious.

My updates at the moment seem to be attempts to keep my blog alive while doing almost no work (I'm busy being a wood elf assassin).

Still its about time this guy had a flag on his flag-pole. Did it with biro...

You chopping down trees in suspenders and a bra?

very good looking and very red looking mini^^

and good to see a guardsman finally again^^

Another little snippet of progress. A first bit of paint for the sentinel.

Good to see the banner bearer again , and the sentinel is looking suitably boxy for 40k, does it remind anyone else of the At Te from star wars ? it just needs chewy popping out of the top.

Any resemblance to the star wars walker is intentional...

No actually it just came together that way - originally it was going to have an open cockpit but it just wasn't working out so I started building a little box - and it looked pretty well star wars so I ran with it

well i call this subconcious behavior... you like the AT ST ... so you ended up with a sentinel resembling one^^

nice looking by the way^^

OH! I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK!.....

ROFLMAO

I put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars....

Lumberjacks everywhere! Hells bells, all we need now is a chorus line of mounties...

Well I gave up on painting for a while there but I'm doing a little painting 2day and might get finished soonish. Thanks for looking and will get some pics up

best wishes weety! we need more input/output from you!^^

My progress is slow, very very slow. We are busy with extra xmass work shifts and making puddins. But this model should be interesting as it will show my progress - its a mini I have painted B4 - the rogue trader servitor, and it is already looking ten times better than the last time I painted it.

I finally finished all the fantasy figures I had been "contracted" to paint, and although I'm no 'eavy Metal Painter, She loved them. So what's the first thing of my own I finish afterwards? Well, a Space Marine sgt and a shoulder pad to finish repairing my land raider, but after that?

Well, I took this guy:



Who had already been cleaned up and primed black, and brought him to this:




I'm happy with him. He will become a servitor in my Valhallan Imperial Guard army.

Sorry for the huge pictures.

Nice paint job on a very cool old model. What's not to like?

Spacetastic! I'm glad someones been painting rogue trader minis...

I have finished a mini!

This was my first try at this mini, painted about 8 months ago. I was disapointed with it at the time as it was just a bit dull and the skin a bit too healthy looking;



So this is my second atempt, as I had two of this model. I went for a more grimy and corpse like skin tone and a colour scheme in keeping with his tech priest masters

Looks like two of us are painting old minis. I'm going to paint my Space Pirate and Space Thug next. I'll post those too, but I don't want to take over your blog.

And you're right, the second one looks much more servitor-like.

Neither photo is really in focus though! Must take better photos.

Thanks for posting the space skeleton - I like to see it close up and painted. Please do post a pic of the others if you want to! I may not have any new photos for a while

The skeleton looks a tad unfinished , maybe its the black showing through under the white. or because you give us such up close macro shots ;-) cool model though , I first saw this model in monkeys gallery. and thought OMG its awesome, and is that basing we see , :-0 , i love the bob olly sculpts , they are pure old-school and this servitor is more detailed than the last , although i did like the skin colour on the first one , but as you say , it looks a bit healthy ;-)
