@angel and @midget - thanks guys. She's ok this morning, I think we're more shaken now than her! I genuinely thought this entry would be doable in the time and probably would have been except for yesterday (just). Ah well. I'll see if I get anything done tonight and if so will post a more updated WIP.

Farseer - good job on those minis

Finally recovering from a flu bug, and I'm nowhere with it.
Gonna do my usual Sunday painting and just show you guys what I was doing, I' not sure how far I'll get.

A bit hacked off because this was an amazing subject for the plane. on the other hand I'd have done a terrible job if I'd tried earlier.

So many awesome paint jobs & conversions!

For my part, the month ended too soon ... So I didn't quite finish the job. Here's where I'm at, not orks, no grot, no kombi-melta, and no weathering ... Well well, I'll finish my buzzard-trukk later ...

Did you want that entered? The vehicle itself looks complete to me, so you would get points for completion.

I yield, fell asleep shortly after that post, because I can't adult properly.

Looking forward to seeing all the end results.

Lighting in my room sucks so I will grab some better photos first thing tomorrow morning. So you can see I've finished here it is with the varnish just drying off while i took some shots.

Another last minute stunner there, TazN! I'll probably do the final thread about 1pm or so tomorrow, so you've got all morning to get the pics up (same for anyone else doing late-night panic-painting!)

Para - didn't get any painting done so my last WIP is where I am right now. Needed to be Dad tonight, not painter. Sorry. I can't remember what the rules were about whether you needed a WIP or not, but it's there anyway.

Nice gems, Taz!

Well, I am nowhere near done, but I'll put up a WIP. Between problems with the wings and real life (I got a job *yay* Hermes the hamster has a tumor *boo*), this is all I got done. I think I'll call him Sargent Wobbles because of the trouble he gave me. Wobbles is in the spoiler.

Spoiler:



(Please excuse the messy desk backdrop)

For those who decide to magnetize a hive tyrant, pin the wings, otherwise they wiggle like crazy when you move the model. I had no idea that paint could throw off the fit of a magnet so bad...

Oi, Para! I have an idea for next subject poll: Swarm. You can enter up to 15 models, but they have to be associated with a horde or a swarm.

Lessons learned: don't pick a superheavy flyer for your model and then wait until halfway through the month to start painting because the previous month's project isn't finished yet. At least the contest was some motivation to finally get started on it, and maybe in a month or two I can actually start one of these at the beginning of the month.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.
