Blinded Me With Science: These units use the power of advanced technology to achieve superiority over their foes.

Finally finished. My first time at doing a diorama (of sorts), and a first for doing faces I'm reasonably happy with!

'Blood on the Ice: Prussia, 1242'

@Tyranid Horde: Nice work with the Porsche! I can only imagine how much work it is to paint that body.

@Warpig1815: lovely snow effects!


Some progress with the Stompa:









Pretty much all of the unglued parts are done now.
Some small touch ups and drilling the barrels (not sure why I decided to do it after painting )

Then it's "just" the hull left.

Out with the old, in with the new?

Calling these guys finished:






There are a few more individual photos and comments on my P&M Blog.

@Ezki, that’s some really nice rust!

Oh, I know...Shining Spears! Could not resist as I have more to paint.

Great diorama Warpig1815.

Cheers,

How about "Civvie Street"? Civilians, armed or not. Could also cover military personnel in non-combat roles.

Gonna try and "speed" paint 5 Ronin from Test Of Honour skirmish game.

Late entry from me! But for this month I'll paint up this Krampus. Seems good for the season!

Hark! The herald angels sing; glory to the God Emperor of Mankind.

OK, they are probably not going to make it into any Christmas carols, but they are done:


These ladies are the last of the SoB box set I painted over the last year. Was a pleasant diversion from my normal fare.

Nice work everyone!

Quick subject poll for next round, which I've just realised is the penultimate of this rotation! Where did the year go?

Thanks Ezki and Nev for your comments, part of me enjoys the rivet counting aspect of scale modelling, but another part of me doesn't want to fuss too much!

Warping, that snow scene looks sweet!

Ezki, that stompa is going to be mega when finished, loving all the weathering you've done so far

Nev, I really like the green accents you've added and that white has come out well!

Finished pics for me:
Driver, Front

Driver, Back

Gunner, Right

Gunner, Left

Gunner, Front

Gunner, Back (the ACDC fans out there know what was playing on repeat in my head as I was painting this)


It's weird not basing minis, but these are both going to be part of a trukk, so that part isn't necessary. The eight ball in the driver's left hand is the top of a shift nob.

I thought I had posted my proof pic, but going through the thread it appears I haven't. I'm painting Bastian Oriel from the Judgement miniature game, which I picked up on Black Friday for half price.



I started basecoating the skin before I remembered to take the proof pic. I hope that's within the rules. Ten minutes before I took this photo he was just primed.

All done, though I must say, I hated painting this model. I re-did the wings three times and I'm still not happy with them. My prosecutor unit is now firmly on the back burner and I don't think I'll bother getting a a knight venator in the future. Ground troops all the way from now on!

"I can bring you in warm... Or I can bring you in cold..."



Final pics of Mando. This has been 'finished' at least four times before I've decided to to back and done more, but it has been a good exercise in slowing the flip down and taking my time on a more complex model. There was a big pivot in style about half way through the month after I got a set of Vallejo inks, but I think the final result is something to be pleased with, definitely one of the better paintjobs I've done since my vision issues arose.

Any thoughts welcome!

Im nearly done, Should have pictures tommorow after aplying transfers.

These ladies done and are ready to go on an adventure!

@Paradigm, first thought: “This is the way.”

Very nicely done as to how he looked at the beginning. I now want to see you or one of the other god-tier painters in the competition have a crack at the full Beskar version. So shiny!

Hah, yeah, I wondered about doing the full Beskar suit version as I do have a 3d print file for that, but given that just the helmet by,itself was quite the headache, I think it'll be a while before I dare.

I did end up printing a d painting his Little Green Friend, but as a Christmas ornament that now adorns our tree! Slightly too big to be in scale for this Mando, but I might do him again at some point more appropriately scaled.

Sepsimus, Plaguesworn complete.

Finally done, there are some missed parts that have been spotted after pictures have been taken

Did I say that I was finished? That may have been a lie, or at least an alternate fact. I found a few more hours to paint over the last few days, so I'm adding the last model of my original pledge, with some updated photos:

Probably won't manage to go take better back dropped pictures in time, so here's some quicky finals:

I have finished too but still havent found the time to take some photos. Hopefully I will upload some tomorrow.

While we are getting close to the wire, if you need a little more time, let me know. Everyone is going to stay up until midnight tomorrow to make sure this year leaves anyway, might as well use the time for painting!

Damn shadowlands for dropping during this month!!! But it turned out alright despite not having a ton of time between WoW streams.

Thats some very nice OSL Freya. I initially thought you were taking pictures under UV with some flourescent paint.

Thanks! I didn't give it all the attention I wanted to this month so I feel like it's not that great but either way it was definitely good practice for OSL. What better way to learn than to push yourself right?

I probably won't be able to post pictures today so It would be great to have some extension time. I'm sure I will finish sometime tomorrow.
