WIPTW 2021 - Update 2

With how busy life is, its likely that “weekly” updates wont be, but we will see what happens.

Since the last update, i have managed to paint quite a few things, played a game or two, built some more terrain, prepped a bunch more models, and kept things updating.

I’m definitely enjoying the 20 Block plan, it allows me to always have something to paint, get projects moving and also when i finish painting a model from a range i am looking forward to painting another so i stay motivated to get through the 20 block.

In real life, i sold a house, and am finalising some estate stuff, work is still busy, and i enjoyed being back at work for the week, though had thursday off for my birthday.

WIPTW - Rules

1. Keep track of what i have painted

2. Can only buy half of what i have painted

Its hard to keep track of the rules due to the way kickstarters work, but in general if i can avoid buying models in general to half of what i painted, and just try to minimise damage with kickstarters i will be fine.

Painted this week:

Here is this weeks, i painted the crates after i had uploaded last week so thats why its in this week.

20 Block Progress:

Where I am up to with the current block of 20.

All i have left to paint now is the gang under group 1, which i have base coated the jeans and jackets, so should get them done this week, and number 9, one of my venators for Necromunda.

Purchased and delivered:

Did not buy much, some paints (Scale 75 released the rest of the instant colour range to retail so i grabbed them all), i picked up a couple of blades, and ogroid myrmidon for Bloodbowl conversion, i bought some orruk bits 2nd hand for conversions and some terrain 2nd hand, got a Reaper order delivered (paints and a couple models), and a few kickstarters ended this week, V Commandos, Barons War and Interactive Models. Fantasy Series 2 ends this week as well. No new kickstarters, but i did pay for the Nickstarter from Northstar from Stargrave (this might have been last week).

Working on:

Finishing the 20 Block, and i have cleaned up all the marines from Aliens and undercoated them, and undercoated about 20 Zombicide 2 models and a few other things. my next 20 blockis prepped and ready to go.

Stats YTD:

On track, still need to add in the purchased models, but thats less critical.

Pictures:

As always, nothing like a photo to make things look worse. I try to paint as well as i can but am focused to the 3 foot range, ie on the table. i think they look better than the pics show. I need to get better at photos.

Hassassin Ayyar

Painted the same scheme as the rest of my army, it was half done so nice to actually finish it off.

Tara - Walking Dead

Basic model, knocked it out pretty fast, just wanted to get it done. I did the jeans as mostly dark pants and it worked well i think, using P3 Cygnar colours.

Julia - The Others

I painted her in a similar orange scheme to the Hassassin but its a little different and the one i use with my Genestealer cult. Nice model, like a lot of the older CMON models a bit soft in places but painted up well.

Karl Raider - Judge Dredd

I messed up his right eye, but i got there in the end. the coat was done with some soft browns which liked. the dredd resins are terrible but at least its done.

London Paxton - HINT

Cool model, pity its soft plastic. the coat looked too nice to do one colour and i really enjoyed splitting it up and making it half leather and half material. i used dusky flesh for his skin and i think it came up well.

Weyland Utani Crates - Aliens

Not very exciting, contrast green with some drybrushing and then sponging some metal for scratches. will do for terrain.
