Review - Terrain Crate 2 - Trees

So its been a while, between lockdown and work exploding, but i have still been painting… and buying stuff.

I backed the original Terrain crate and have 95% of it painted, barring a few pieces that don’t fit my stuff or are too thin to be of any use (one major issue with terrain crate).

So when the 2nd one came up i backed it straight away, especially as it covers more genres than fantasy.

In the end I got one of each crate and 2 extra boxes of things i thought i wanted more of.

WIPTW 2020 #9 - Week 15

/

Its been a few weeks, work has been mental busy, especially once we had to get quickly ready for lockdown, which NZ has been on since the 25th of March, and we have 11 days to go (at least).

I have not done massive painting in the first few weeks but now have a good routine, and after finishing a large project am now keen to blitz through a bunch of smaller ones.

While it would be nice to update each week, this is not meant to be a chore, so if i don’t have time, so be it.

TT Combat Comms Tower

I have always liked TT Combats kits, i have heaps of them, almost all their residential houses, quite a few of the commercial buildings (including ruined versions) and some of the moonstone ones. i just started with their scifi stuff and the first one i got was the Comms Tower.

Annddd, it was a pig of a kit. i have assembled worse but nothing like this from TT Combat.

WIPTW 2020 #8 - Week 10

Another odd week in terms of painting. With my father visiting, he has been staying with us into my normal painting time each night (which is great), but its done damage to my painting ability.

So i only got 1 model painted but i got a bunch of prep done. andddd i bought a few things.

The cool news is that i placed in both painting competitions. I got 3rd in the GW store comp with the Magos, and i won the Infinity comp on FB. so that was fun.

WIPTW 2020 #7 - Week 9

A good week, i may have bailed on Febs painting challenge as i could not get motivated by the Dredd block gangers, but i did finish (to varying levels of quality) 2 competition entries, and last night i knocked out a figure. Its nice to get back to being able to pump out some simple figures and i think i will spend this next week trying to paint 5 simple models.

Throwback - Mongoose Judge Dredd Models

Continuing the inventory of all my painted models.

This is the collection of Judge Dredd Models from the Mongoose game range. I painted most of these 3-4 years ago, so the paint job can be a bit off.

The Mongoose models were a bit hit and miss with some of the sculpts being a bit meh, but they were what we could get so it was good enough.

Throwback - Inquisitorial Retinue

Continuing the plan of documenting my old models.

Back in 2000 or 2001, whenever either the Inquisitor game or the 40K Witchhunters Codex was released (i think Witchhunters), the local GW had a painting comp to do a retinue. i did not have money for the new range so kitbashed my own. I wont it with this retinue.

WIPTW - First proper update of the year 2020 #1

Sticking with the plan i set out for the year, here is the first proper update.

So i will probably do the images for this post over the week, as it takes ages to edit the pics.

This is the compilation of all the models so far this year (well since Christmas break). Means i have a head start on the year. Most weeks wont be this exciting, especially once i am back to work fully in a couple of weeks (though i am doing some work anyway, even did an impromptu meeting at wargaming yesterday).

So for this first post, lets look at my Frostgrave Warband.

What I painted this 'week' - 18/8/19

Trying to keep track of what i painted each week, so i dont forget and its easier to take small batches of photos than lots at once. Reality is it wont be weekly, and this post is for what i finished last week, but this week is the post. essentially everytime i post i want to post what i have finished since last time.

I am only posting whats finished, so sometimes it looks like heaps as i finished off lots of small things that were 90% done. and we will definitely go through phases as i work on different games.
