As ever, very slow progress, despite the holidays; usual excuses: loss of painting mojo etc

However, have finally managed to finish off the Farseer, and the first of the Shadow Spectre troops. Not the best I've ever done, but they'll do. Also I did a shot of the Spectre and Irillyth to show the difference in the whites between the two, and to show that Irillyth really is a beast of a model!

I hate you.

Seriously, these are fantastic. Absolutely lovely. How long do you spend on each model?

Thanks guys : )

I spent far, far too long on them mars! I'm honestly astonished how quickly some people on here, especially nerdfest, can paint models, and the quality of them - I'm frankly jealous of that level.
I'm not actually sure how long for each, but we're talking hours for each, five, maybe six? Possibly more? I just keep chugging away at them until they're done. It doesn't help that the layering technique that I use takes a while to build up, and doing white just takes ages!

Actual progress for a change! All jet bikes highlighted, and fiddly details done. I've even done the gems on the carapace, and I think it's made a huge difference, so I think thanks goes to nerdfest for suggesting that. Riders are being undercoated as we speak, so hopefully it won't be too long before they're all finished up : )

I've really missed seeing updates on this blog, your painting is really inspiring!

thank you guys - I'll try my best to live up to your (and my) expectations.
In a feat of speed painting for me, I've blocked, washed, and highlighted all the yellow areas on the riders, and basecoated and washed the red sashes, which are drying now. I'll take a shot of them tomorrow morning when the light's better.
So, on the agenda next is to block in all the dark grey, give it a wash and then the red highlights.
I haven't attached the arms yet as they were really awkward to fit around the handlebars on the first 'bike, so I'm doing them separately and then glue them on when the rider's on the 'bike... at least, that's the plan anyway!

well, I am a Scorpio, so maybe that explains things? Although, I have to say that I was always a Virtua Fighter fan. I'm not sure that I've ever played Mortal Kombat...

Jetbikes done Only took about a year to get the whole squad done from start to finish!
The shots are a bit dark, so I might try and get some better ones done later.

Nice work Finnan. Great looking squad.

Is it the photo, or does the middle one have a reddish tint to the black of it's nose?
