You work rate is insane, so much good stuff. That Infinity fig is making me think of Marvel's ultimate superhorine: Squirrel Girl.

We'll gloss over that little comment about the noble Sons of Sanguinius... My own SH terminators have been sitting around forever while I build up the nerve and patience to have a crack at them. Seeing such nice, painted examples is a real help.

Gaunt's Ghosts vignette is great.

Cheers fella. Gotta get into those SH figs. They are cracking (for BAs )
That vignette was/is one of my hobby highlights so far this year. A joy from start to finish

I'm so bloody behind in my Plogging. Wish I didn't have to go to work! Anyway, an awesome load of stuff painted/finished recently, and I love the old lead. I'm wondering though - why couldn't you bring it with you?

That sniper looks amazing, as does the BA terminator. Looking forward to seeing you tackle the whole set of Space Hulk!

@ Az -I was prety busy while at home so didnt really start rooting through boxes until the night before I was leaving to come back to Korea. By the time I found all those old lead figs from many moons ago, I was already all packed and didnt really have the time or space to proper get them sorted for the trip back. I'll pick them up next time I'm back in Ireland though. There is still some stuff that I havent found yet - mostly unpainted I think so will have to continue the search this summer!

@Zerg - Cheers fella. Am actually really really happy with how the wee sniper vignette turned out. Cool making and painting something from books I really enjoyed - could almost hear the sounds of 'hotshot' las rounds and the screams of the dying Pact as I painted him up!!! Was sorry to see him go but he's off to a great home so all is good.
Have started on another of the SH termies today- Brother Goriel. He's (thankfully) nowhere near as blinged out as the Sgt. (34 gems - ffs!!!) but he is grabbing a ripped out 'stealer head and spine though.....nice!!!!

Great work on the Tanith sniper. The climbing plant looks really realistic.

EDC

Cheers EDC - the plant probably looks pretty real bcs it is!!! It's the roots from a tomato plant dried out, stuck on and then painted

Wednesday!! Finish work at lunchtime!!! Head home and my new (second) display cabinet had arrived. 8282 and get building. Much less swearing involved this time than with the first one!! I now actually have spare space ( that's never gonna last) and everything is much less cramped. My growing taghmata force of Achlys III gets the top shelves across the two cases.. DV takes the second level and Space Hulk and (eventually) DW:O with take tier three...... Think I need another cabinet

Awesome display cabinets. Enjoy the space while you can, as I'm sure you'll soon fill it.

EDC

Nice to see these minis get a worthy display case, they really do deserve to be shown off like that! You're going to have to get us some group shots of the stuff in there, now, though!

Will do. Once I've got the skits and the rusties finished, gonna get a nice big family shot

Students had a lovely day of tests in front of them today which nicely translated into bonus painting time for me took a break from the skit Rangers and made some progress on one of the space hulk termies - brother Goriel I think his name is. Got his red plate all done - 11 glaze layers all told I think. Well happy with it though. Black pauldrons next and then onto some metalwork

11 layers? Man, you're mad! Looks worth it, though!

Lol - thx Para. It's actualy pretty relaxing and only took.......3 hours......crap, that can't be right o.O Photo is a bit pishy but well chuffed with the result That's the long/hard part done now. Onto the bling!

That's beautiful work Jan, love that red

Cheers KB

Very nice! I meant to ask you in your other thread, but what camera do you use to take pictures? I am thinking about finally investing in one

I use a Canon Eos 50D and a tripod

Wee bit of paint down on Brother G. Nice to get the golds and the hard metals done. Pretty happy with the dirty white wings too. Hopefully get the last details done in the next day or two

Amazing work.

Thx AoV. Really do quite like working on these guys. Need to step up the pace a bit if I ever want to get them all done - lol

Final WiP

Beautiful work Jan, love the stripe on the shoulder pad most of all!

Cheers bottle. Had a look through the mission book and it turns out they all have their own individual livery. 2 down, 11 to go o.O

Goriel is coming alone very nicely indeed.

Holy crap I didnt notice the strip! So clean! How'd ya do it?

Just really thin red glazes on the black and then really thin white glazes on top of that again. Pallid wych I think.

Few wee updates of stuff done.

Nice work on that SH termie Jan. I like the stripe on the shoulderpad. Did you use tape to get it so straight?
