I always love to see tattoos! Nicely done Weety!

Nice work on the tattoos on the beastmen. They've come up very nicely, as have the cultists.

Hiya dakka-naughts. The tattoos are nice, which was a surprise as it was a bit of a stretch painting that small. Do you ever find yourself taking a deep breath and holding it before you do a really fine bit? I find it helps with the very fine motor control. I'm gona try and make them awesome by adding highlights soon. To tired to paint that small tonight. I'm butting base colours on the lizards, the guns are going to be blue-grey NMM because its sci-fi.

Some of said lizards:

Skinks looking great, can't wait to see the finished product

Glad to see you still cranking out vintage lead Weets!

Lizards looking good there weety!

Dave! you're alive!

All the time. I nearly turn purple with some of the models I make.

Good progress on the lizards.

This ! ^^

I have personally mastered the art of breathing through my toes, to enable the rest of me to stay still.

Love the skinks, and the tattoos on the beasty boys are sublime.

A very useful skill Cam... we need a tutorial on that! Well I've been busy and here is the deathwatch fast assault section.



Well that's it then, I've painted everything in the box bar the the little communications stick thing... I might not bother with it.

I don't know what should be the next big thing after the lizards and the robot it is a toss up between dark vengence dark angels, that horrible chaos dreadnought thing or sicaran rust dudes...

oh or I have a box of those dark eldar with spiky hoverboards!

Does anyone else feel that the popularity of dark eldar has peaked? I used to see a lot of em about but not so much now and the sets are selling cheap on feebay.

Very nice looking group weets!

Nice work on the marines.

That it is.

When was the last time we saw you do Dark Eldar? I vote for them.

I have never ever even seen a dark eldar as the box is still shrink wrapped! Probably more exciting than the flesh-nought yes!

Wow. Tribal tats look really cool, I especially like the ones on the faces.

EDC

Stunning work. Really nice. And black is wonderful, all of it is great but the black is nice and deep.

Your DE might suprise you how thin and detailed their limbs and weapons are. Space Elves and all.

Hello all. Its been a hell of a month during which I've only had two days off work so that's my excuse for not touching the brush... retail is a real alien queen of a job.

But is over now and I'm into time off so I finished up the beastmen:



And for fun I recycled some 90s issue chaos marines with some chaos warrior hand weapons, stick em on a nice scenic base and they look lovely:

Those beastmen are lovely weets.

Very cool beasties!

Awesome beasty boys. Great colours.

Those Beastmen are awesome, they've got a nice old-school feel about them. Looking forward to seeing the lizards finished too.

wow, that Soviet Tank green really looks good on those lasrifles. Well Done Weets!

Its been a while but I finally finished something.

-Tropical lizardmen with metallic blue guns
-a rusty robot
-oldhammer pedler and blacksmith

Great to see you about, lovely work, great colours and detail. Love the variety of models too.

Good mixture, and all looking nice.

Thanks chaps - the robot and lizards deserves a bigger picture I think:

How about a little freehand on that peddler's jug? a simple XXX would do. Image search 'moonshine jug' if you don't get it

The space lizards are fantastic.

Liking the space lizards! they came out very nice!

Lizardmen are lovely the guns really work nicely.
