Who're you talking to?

@Jan: I've actually found you the entire Tanith CCS bar the un-named plasma gunner (sorry, dibsed him because he's too useful. ;P)
Gaunt, Milo, Larks, Dorden and Corbec. Milo may take the long road as he's not here, he's in Wigan.

Not my attempt to bribe you, I just found two, and then thought "well that stuffs him up if he ever wants the set" so I dug in my boxes and found the others.

Only condition is you never paint Gaunt because mine is gak and I don't need reminding. (Nah)

Back on topic: Gunner! My first time 2 part moulding anything. It came out spotless.

Interesting range so far everyone. Will see if time allows me to enter

Sounds great Buttery - may take me a month or so to get them back to you!! Can't paint Gaunt???!!! Noooooooooo!!!!

?? Nah mate those are for you.
Just do the trooper I hopefully remember to send with.

What would a painting challenge be without some heavy metal?

Proof:

Traditional Spaced out Christmas marines. I am really looking forward to getting these fellas done!

Cheers a million mate. I actually have a wee sketch done out for the dio for that lasman we talked about. It's around ......somewhere. Based on that farmhouse siege some of the ghosts were caught up in at one point against the Pact

Eyyy I'm doing a thing!

Bad news. I looked for the Santa Ork Diorama stuff (snowballs and cardboard painted white) and its gone. I'm guessing my parents threw it out, not knowing what it was.

No worries, I'll do a flash git. Proof pic later.

Some cool looking entries to look forward to this month.

@ Inspector #264: Really looking forward to seeing those painted, I always enjoy seeing those models.

And here's da proof pik! Hope it'z ok.



Its a primed flash git, in case you couldn't make it out.

Is this acceptable? Primed grey and started to block in the cloth areas:

Yeah, that's fine!

Okay, I've been too shy to enter these things before, but I want in this time. Gonna do some Blood Angels Devastators retro-style.

Merry Christmas to all you painters! Here is my entry proof:

On the left, we have a Vindicare Assassin (in Finecast). On the right we have a Culexus Assassin (in metal). I've been thinking about painting these guys for a while now, so it's time for me to make it happen! I'd better bone up on my edge highlighting technique...

Keeper of secrets work in progress.

Well I got a look at my land raider I wanted to enter, as it was one of the first models I made two years ago and I have since squirreled it away, and holy crap it looks terrible. Terrible priming with lots of finger prints and parts that aren't even really primed. Should I try and salvage it, will a new coat of primer fill in the finger print marks? If not I got something else I could figure out.

A simple entry for this one. But its one of my favorite sculpts.

It is the Dark Vengeance Librarian:

Its possible to strip tanks, but you'll need patience to get the treads clean, and lots of paper towels to soak up the fluid, else it seeps out.
Priming again will just lose some detail and not cover every fingerprint.

Had myself a nice little painting session last night -- here's my first WIP

Ooh, I am very tempted to enter this. I have a Blood Angel veteran with a power fist and storm bolter that I have been itching to make a start on.

So do it!!! All welcome here

My commissar hat means the roof doesn't fit on the car. What a very specific issue.

hahahahahaaa - sorry Buttery, that just made my tea come out my nose!!!

The question is, do I trim the hat or the roll bar?

One does not simply trim a commisar's hat.........

I'm so sorry Para, for what we did to your topic.

Guess the roll bar is having a trim. Nobody would know if I removed the cross piece tbh.

No worries. I was about to chip in myself and suggest the Commissar ride in style and make the car a convertible...
