In a similar vein to the What are you doing today? Hobbywise Only thread I am curious what is currently on your desk being painted. Preferably in pictorial form.

If you don't have a permanent set up then in your drawer/shoebox etc.

Really intrested to see what you are working on and what it looks like before its finished.

I am currently jumping between several different Sengoku Jidai (Samurai) era models. They are in various states of unfinished and I wish I had taken more care with the mould lines.

Please Share what you are working on.

Some really cool stuff here so far guys. Please keep it up.

@Grimdork: I love the Plague gen 1. Every other plague model ranges from meh to dislike for me but the gen 1 is awesome.

@Markillius08Made: Cant wait to see that finished.

@Tyronus: I know how you feel. I rarely finish much either.

@cento: How did you achive that muted green on the rangers cloaks?

@bossfearless: Quite possibly the most bizzare thing i have ever seen. Love it.

@gohkm what character is going to go onto the base?

I am rebuilding my paint collection after a 10 year break from the hobby and found myself without a proper shade of green, so this was a 50/50 fix of Reaper's Highland Moss and Green Ochre colors, and then thinned of course. I use to use Vallejo paints, but decided to give Reaper paints a chance when I needed to start over from scratch. Been pretty happy with them so far.

I like Vallejo a lot. Never tired reaper. The green looks good mate. Very earthy, great for a ranger.

Hence, here's my latest efforts, a Death Company converted Salamanders assault squad (For the same price I get far more goodies in the DC box, at the expense of a lot of Blood Angel iconoclasm ). They're still WIP, as the pic quality indicates (They better in real life - honest!), but should be done and dusted tomorrow evening!

Looks good to me mate. Yeah I get that too had a period where I was buying way too much new stuff without ever touching the old. Kind of felt like whats the point, just collecting stuff to have it. So I sold a load of my stuff and tightened my focus.

I'm still battling with selling off some of my old stuff, though I doubt I'll ever be able to tighten my focus, as you say. Get manageable discrete chunks of a project done before swapping to something else though... I've been handling that somewhat better than in the past

If I dont think it will ever get painted or used I am getting rid of it.

Helps that I use sales of old stuff to fund new stuff.

**carlos13th**

That's some impressive speed

They look really good together, the paint schemes make them look like they belong to the same army despite their differences. Don't knock them off the desk whatever you do.

**carlos13th**

What is it going to be?

**carlos13th**

Is it going to be for 40k?

Thanks! And I have knocked the reaver over twice now, hopefully never again lol. I see everyone seems to have much better painting stations than I do... I just paint on my couch.

Mine is a fold up desk. Something like this.

**carlos13th**

Looking great mate.

**carlos13th**

Are all those boxes full?

**carlos13th**

Done a little more on these guys.

**carlos13th**

I quite like the yellow one.

**carlos13th**

That green looks great.

**carlos13th**

Wasn't up to doing anything that needed a steady hand this past week so I decided to finish off some old mantic elves I had by dipping then varnishing them. Bit of a rush job but they were looking ok until I managed to frost them with the varnish. Cest La vie.

**carlos13th**

Looks good mate, cant wait to see it finished.

**carlos13th**

Other than batch paitning anyone have any tps on painting quicker?

**carlos13th**

Recived my order from warbases they look great. Gonna work on painting them up when I can't focus on detail work.

**carlos13th**

**carlos13th**

Its great to see a nice variety of models and painting styles here.

**carlos13th**

Looking great so far.

**carlos13th**

The two with the brown bases are finished except for needing Matt varnish everywhere but the armour to take away the shine.

The other three need some matt varnish and need to be properly based. I also need to paint four more standard archers one unit leader and paint then flock the unit base itself.

**carlos13th**

Samurai, Lots of Samurai

**carlos13th**

Painting up this fella

**carlos13th**

Looks sweet.

**carlos13th**

These and a swat team need to get finished before I move onto either infinity stuff or another unit of samurai.

**carlos13th**

Need to let these dry then matt varnish them and finish the basing.

**carlos13th**

Doing a little bit at a time on these. Bit of flesh here, bit of clothing there. Slow and steady.

**carlos13th**

I have the exact same painting tray mate.
