Thanks!
All I really want to do is paint slightly more minis than I buy.
Bad dose of flu messed up most of this weeks painting plans, but I did make a little bit of progress:-
Zeus is coming along nicely.
As is the Chain Lord.
Hopefully I'll get better soon and I can start making more progress.

Thanks! Took a lot longer to get back to full health than it used to (The cost of getting older I guess), but I'm feeling a lot better.
Still struggling a bit on the painting front, but I'm slowly making progress:-
Zeus shouldn't take much more work.
Lots to do on the Chain Lord.
And I've just started on Guan Y (Who, for legal purposes, is an entirely original concept and totally not a Space Marine!), I think I need to tone down the top of his head.

Nice progress, and all the flesh looks good! On the legally distinct from a space marine, I dunno, on its own I feel the top looks fine, just kind of a seam at the brow I think? Maybe bring that up more?

Thanks guys!
It's been a little while.
Was feeling very low for a few weeks and the hobby bore the brunt of it, at one point I had everything packed up ready to be dropped off at the local charity shop. Fortunately, I didn't do anything drastic in the end and I'm slowly getting back at it.
Painted up a Guild Ball mini, Brisket:-
Not sure which version of Brisket this is, but I'm happy with how she looks.
Now I just have to keep the momentum going!

It was my laziness that saved the day. Even all boxed up, there was just too much stuff to deal with.
Unfortunately, my painting momentum didn't last and everything is all packed up again. I'm not wallowing in self-pity this time though, so I do intend to start up the hobby again one day, I just don't know when.
Until then farewell!

Hello again!
New year and a new attempt at keeping this thread going!
Been managing to do a bit of hobbying most days lately, and finished a couple minis.
There's Lady Florence (Games Workshop):-
Not completely happy with this one, was a more complicated mini than I thought and I kept finding bits I'd missed, but at least I stuck with it.
And Zeus (Reaper):-
A lot more pleased with this one, in places he's a bit more basically painted than he should be for such a large mini, but I think he looks good.
And I'm making steady progress on a couple other minis, but lately I've been bogged down getting some Malifaux stuff assembled.
I'll try and make regular updates, but I'm not really set up to take Work In Progress pictures any more (I haven't set my painting desk back up and don't think I will, I seem to be doing better without a constant reminder that I should be painting).

Thanks guys! Glad everybody likes Zeus.
Was hoping to have something finished by now, but I'm getting there slowly:-
Really close to finishing the Slaver Lord and Potion Girl, Skelly Dude is getting there and I have my first Juggernaut all prepped.

Woot! I've finished things!
First there's the Chain Lord (Necromunda):-
Really happy with this one, I think he turned out quite good.
Second there's the Potion Girl (Kingdom Death):-
Not too happy here, struggled to figure out how to paint a lot of her.
And finally, the Skeleton Captain (Cursed City):-
Pleased with this one too, especially his cape!
All that's left on the table now is this pair of fatties:-
The Shackle Man and the Smug Juggernaut.
Going to be busy building things though, picked up some more Necromunda stuff and I'm worried I'm going to lose those teeny tiny pieces.

Still building things, so no new painting done yet, but I can finally show-off this Pin-up girl I did last year for a competition (It took them a long time to get it all wrapped up, as is the Kingdom Death way!)
Ram Armour Pin-Up (Kingdom Death):-
Didn't get anywhere in the competition (There was a lot of very fancy painting going on), but I think I did a good job on her.
And now back to building, my Gunsmyths arm needs gap-filling.

Woot! Finished building stuff:-
And now I realise I left 3 minis (A Corpse Grinder and the House Griem pair) out of the group shot
I also received my Kings Coin from the Kingdom Death competition:-
I know that everyone that entered got one, but it still feels like I accomplished something!

Yeah, you'd think they would have more important things to spend their time and money on, but apparently not.

Thanks! Yep, rather happy with her.
Finally finished my Smug Juggernaut (Malifaux):-
I'm really pleased with how he turned out, but it shouldn't have taken me the best part of two months to paint him.
Got three more minis on the table:-
Hopefully they don't take me as long to paint.

Wow. You always have wild looking minis to paint. Who's the guy with the axe and tiki mask?
Smuggernaut looks awesome!

That is... *Looks up website* Prophyrion, he's from last years Special Edition Malifaux set.
So, I had plenty to be working on, but my brain decided to paint skeletons, and, of course, I couldn't paint any skeletons I had lying around, I had to build some new ones:-
I'm making decent, if slow, progress though.
And then I had to build more stuff just because:-
Hopefully I'll have something done next time, although I did well on Ebay for some Marvel Crisis stuff, so who knows what I'll be working on.

That's the plan, but I think I've long since passed the point where I can get everything finished during my lifetime.
Was determined to actually finish something before I posted an update, it's only one skeleton but it's a start:-
At least he looks decent.
I built a few more minis, but a really gappy Kingdom Death mini has put me off assembly for a while, so back to painting:-
Harmony, Owl Knight (I think Kingdom Death has a bit of a scale creep problem) and Mecha Dragoon.

Harmony (Guild Ball) got wrapped up fairly quickly:-
Think she turned out okay considering she's a bit dinky.
Now to keep this momentum going!

Thanks! Yeah, I think the Owl Knight is the best mini Kingdom Death has put out in a while, although it's a shame his helmet isn't held in place by yet more hands like the artwork.

Thanks! Yeah, I was pretty pleased with how her vest turned out.
A bad back has put a stop to any painting this week (I thought exercise was supposed to help not hurt!), so I've done yet more building:-
Wasn't planning on getting back into Marvel Crisis Protocol (My brain is never going to be happy that I can't have all the things), but I ended up getting some cheap off Ebay.
Forgot how badly some of their early stuff goes together though, my poor Captain Marvel has even more gaps this time around!

A weird and wonderful mix of minis in here mate, thanks for sharing! Nice to see some of what's out there.
Your skin tones are amazing and I love how much purple is popping up.
Seems like you're in a good rhythm at the moment - build, paint, build, paint, build. Keep it up!

They're in the queue, unfortunately there's a lot of other stuff in there too!
Had a bit of a motivation dip, did get one mini finished though, the Gentlefolk Lancer (Twisted):-
Who doesn't look too bad.
Working on a bit of a big project now:-
Glutos is coming!
