I have, gnawing at my conscience and desk, two devastators for Donlad, which are finished now, and are awaiting some custom decals to arrive then they can go back.

I also have Trev, and my own trev, who is shockingly in worse condition...

Finally, I have a Flyrant and an Exocrine for MSRC.

So yes, you were right, I also have about 8,000 points of my own stuff that I want to paint...

It's a problem, I know

We're Dakkanauts, mkay? Like cosmonauts but better. Jan I'm gonna PM you, if you're still willing.

Yeah - I'll paint up a marine for you. Will take a few months as I have Buttery's stuff to do first

KB is the cat-lady of Dakka, except instead of stray cats, he collects stray models.

Basically, yeah.

Jesus I just realised that I should be donating models in this thread, not paint.

Then I realised again that I'd already done that to average results

Oh god I need a drink...

Yeah I just realized how many I have too.

Hm. If you're busy Jan I don't wish to inconvience you, so I've taken Buttery up and sent a PM.

Actualy if someone(or 2 someones) wanted to paint a nomad gecko, they are on my to get list and also would be nice to have a nice paintjob on.

That than that the only thing that i don't need on my atm nor doesn't need modeling/striping work is a bunch of direwolves.

Geckos

I'm happy to take on either of those. I have the Nomad half of Icestorm in my gallery if you want an idea of how the Gecko would come out. Only thing is, shipping to and from NZ is going to take quite a while and cost a fair bit, so if you want to go for someone closer to home then that's absolutely cool (and I'd probably recommend it to be honest if you want the minis back anywhere within about 2-3 months. Shipping each way is going to be 3-4 weeks, painting will be about a week, or 2 if I'm doing either/both Geckos)l

So it's up to you. I'll take the job if you can't find anyone closer, or if for some reason you'd really like my paintwork in particular.

Para, you're in NZ?

No, methebest is, at least according to his flag.

Oh how I wish I was too. NZ is pretty damn high on my list of places to visit, and not just for the LotR connection (although that is a big part of it). It's like a version of Australia where everything that moves and half of what does't isn't trying to kill you...

I'd be cool with you painting something, do you have a preference? if not might wait a bit and see if someone else wants to paint something and go from there.

And wait times wont matter as i barely have any nomads and i'm focusing on my jsa and caledonians first.

Though now that i think about it i do have a chimera on the way, so i can offer up that as an option as well.

Spoiler:

That Chimera is a lovely looking fig. I'm up for painting her if you fancy it. I'm in South Korea which has a pretty impressive postal service so mailing times aren't too bad to NZ.

Alright cool, You want to do the pupniks as well or just the chimera?

I'll just take on the chim. Have a lot of my own stuff and some bits for other folk as well to get on with

Sweet I'll pm you when she arrives(hopefully before Christmas as part of my dads present is with her>.&gt

Sounds good

I'm happy to take on one or both Geckos or the KiltKat (Cameronian) if you want! PM me if and when you're interested!

I have an old metal Sammeal that needs painting. I feel I did pretty well assembling. He's based with Army Painter black and only has some white and gunmetal base so far. Cape is detached (but available) because I didn't dig that look. Could look incredible in just a few hours. I'd be happy to pay shipping both ways and I'll include some other gift.



Also pewter Coteaz and Ezekiel if anyone's into them.

Update time.
So paradigm is doing the geckos and januine is doing the chimera, which means these are still up for grabs.

Pupniks(ignore the chimera in the pic) would be ideal if someone wanted to do all three.


And the cameronian

@ methebest - Chimera jsut arrived this afternoon. Crikey - post is bloody expensive in New Zealand eh o.O

Yeah, though i probably could have gotten her in a envelope, which would have been a damn sight cheaper, but she may not have survived, but at least this way you get the box as reference as there are no instructions.(Definitely the biggest problem with infinity stuff.)

aye. lot smaller than I imagined. what's their scale?

They are ostensibly 28mm (a lot of the newer stuff is edging towards 32 or even 35mm, though), but they are what's known as 'true scale', so closer to actual proportions that something like 40k. It's a blessing, as they can look really sleek and natural, but also a curse just because they're so damn fiddly (have fun if the Chimera has any separate arms with tiny attachment points!)

@methebest: Apologies for the lack of progress, I've gone straight from Christmas family stuff into exam prep, and not had a great deal of time to paint. I aim to start painting this weekend, though, and hopefully have them finished within a week or so of that.

I think shes true scale 28mm, though some of the newer stuff is closer to 32mm.

np para, also her hands are not attached to the arms.

I think shinobu might be worse though, which is why i still haven't taken her out of the blister.

Aye the chimera comes in bits. Too small to pin I think. Lotta flash too. She's lovely but size wise reminiscent of that hobbit I painted for Sir D a while back

Trev is assembled minus wings, which are pinned. Greenstuffed to an insane degree, and primed. The end part of his tail has manage to gain some play, but I'll deal with that when i need to. I've also started working more on the base, no idea how that will work yet.

One of Donlad's devs had an unfortunate scratch on his forehead where i had dropped the head and stepped on it. As I'd airbrushed it, there was no touch up, so i wanted to do some battle damage. I'm not sure i like it, but it does look good. Now i need one more gloss coat, then an oil wash, then final weathering, then final protection coats. I'm also (desperately) waiting for my fallout hobbies ks stuff to arrive, as i have decals specifically for the devs (and stencils for trev and the flyrant).

The flyrant (this fething thing) now has replacement feet,tail sponges, wings carved and arms pinned. Has also been primed. The haruspex/exocrine was fully magnetized and primed the other day.

I've managed to structure my life in such a way this month that there is nothing for me to do but these jobs, and I'm loving it so far. Hopefully i can make up for how long it has taken!

Donlad's devs awaiting oil wash

Trev in his splendor (has now been primed)

Good stuff! I'd forgotten how big Trev was, perhaps it's like those chemicals women release after childbirth that make them forget how painful it all is.

BC did you still want me to paint one of your Sgts? If so just throw him in the box with corax!

I'd completely forgot about that. I'll add one in if I remember by Thursday.

I can already tell that he won't survive shipping - the wings will be fine, but he will need a good deal of bum support. Still, it wouldn't be Trev if he showed up in your hands and still wasn't a pain in the arse, right?
