The Marine Standing Behind Marneus Calgar





Upstate, New York

As the year draws to a close, I wanted to look back at what I’ve done. Mostly to see if there was a last second push I needed to do to make my New Year’s hobby resolutions. As is often the case, I’m not making them, and two-three weeks of work is not going to change that fact. But one fun part of checking was breaking out everything I’ve done in the last year for a photo shoot. The only thing not pictured is a IG psycher I did for a friend.



So what does a years worth of work look like from your workbench? I know we have painters of all speeds and skills here on Dakka, but if you can remember what you’ve done, gather the minis and take a shot. It’s always fun to see what everyone is up to.

It's been a great year for paint, I think my skills have come a long way, and starting up a blog on here has done wonders for my productivity! Here's hoping 2015 is just as good!
