Here's my proof pic. Figure'd if I didn't enter I'd be spending all my time painting mdf terrain. This month's contest will get me painting at least a couple guys I've had on the shelf for a while.

OP updated. Also c'mon guys, give me some more titles. I don't ask for much!

Tried doing coloured and highlighted eyes for the first time.


It's annoying me that we don't actually see the laser eye or beehive ear really, once the head is back on.

I hate zooming in on my models But this time it was very useful for the eyes.

Eye looks slightly big in terms of the detail, but it looks good. I'm lucky if I can get the flippin black dot centered



I don't recall if I have an active entry or not. The mars attacks thing isn't happening. I'm not sure if anything else either. I've got a game coming up next week and I want to focus on painting for that since I play so rarely.

If there's time after that we'll see, but I'd rather do something specifically for the comp and not just shoehorn in some models.

I love minis with a bionic eye/targeter. That way I don’t need to worry about both eyes focusing in the same direction. Not a huge fan of painting eyes, such a PITA.

I’ll second that it does look slightly big, but when the head is attached to the rest of the body, that will probably be fine. Looks good overall!

Well, it is a little cartoony to match my crazy-eyes avatar. But if I don't add the colour to the pupils, he looks like he's having too good a time.
My epicissars finally arrived!

Progress.



Most of the model has its base coat done, and is posses for the painting project title. Don't tell me the odds. The knight went to stomp a rhino, what are the odds that it was in neutral, and would cause the Titan to slip as if it was on a banana peel. Measles rhino with only its storm bolted takes down a might knight

Still painting with some RT era paints here

Not to drag this off topic into Flashback Friday land too far, but:

And so there is some on-topic content here, progress on the Oni for my captain to face off against:

im trying to decide between giving gambit just a stick, or turn it into a spear... and im going to GS some hair on the head i chose so he doesn't look like he has a spok head...

He should really just have a bo staff I reckon.

A quickie:





Almost done!

Nice job

I'm so far behind. 1 terminator and 1 'stealer partically done :(

Hate to tell you all this, but I'm going to have to bow out. I haven't felt like painting recently. Good luck to all of you.

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Cool! - I've always wanted to see this done!
Epic work there Buttery, and that laptop idea is just so 'right'!

Feeling the pressure now - ten days left, started back at uni and i'm still not finished.

Mathew - epic man!

Eyy, thanks! Almost done, just need to paint a nid a day!

To keep the Marines away?

Well, FINISHED ENTRY









They are zoomable in the gallery.

I have to say, that while as a whole the miniature was a joy to paint I simply can't paint faces that small, I just can't.

Lovely job, really well done!

Thanks

You read my mind!

In theory all I 'need' to get done is a dio base that could be simply a CD covered in sand and painted grey, but I feel that wouldn't do the minis justice and as such, I'm going to see if I can find time to do something better over the next week... if not, a CD it is...

May I suggest a 3/4 view of her from the front? We've got good archival view of all the sides, but a dynamic pic of her where we can see her face and side of the horse would be really cool. And it'd fit within the pic limit too.

Of course I suggest this, now that it is night time.

Guys! As usual I've got side-tracked by RL and a certain iOS Deathwatch game and my entry's gone to smeg (ask your Dad's children).

So I am changing my proof:

A combination of this lot will get painted. The Necron Warriors are pretty quick to do so they are "the odds". The Deathwatch are what will be the "against" element. Minimum will be the White Scars Captain - this picture is rubbishy for detail. If anyone is interested, go to http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/663710.page for more detailed images and the background of why I'm even bothering!

Let's talk numbers... We have 10 days left... (before drop outs) 27 participants... 9 pages of posts.. 2 folks who have had to leave us, and 16 folk who've posted WIPs.
So that's less than two WIPs per page, I guess. You slackery slackers. Come on, we want to ogle what you're up to!

Also I'm dyslexic, so allow a margin of error of.. quite a few either way.
