WIPTW 2021 - Update 5

WIPTW 2021 - Update 5

Crazy couple of weeks, work is mental, quite a few late nights so not as much painting and we also did some actual social stuff.

I am barely at home this coming week so it will be a quiet week for painting. But I will be starting a new 20 Block this coming week.

WIPTW 2021 - Update 4

A 2 week update this time, works been busy and IT change arounds. Got to play a couple more games of Frostgrave and so we are 4 scenarios from finishing the Red King. Its enjoyable but its a good time to finish before it gets dull.

Still keeping good progress i think, working through many models a week, and so i can keep the backlog down (other than buying new stuff).

WIPTW 2021 - Update 3

Normal week, a full work week for me, after a few weeks of holiday, and public holidays.

Work is the same as ever, but routine is getting easier, and I am getting into the swing of things with my painting. I finished my 20 Block and have the next one ready to go.

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

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.

I got back into the process this week, got a couple of models finished that i had started recently, and got work done on a variety of things. It was my first full week back at work and so my main focus was to getting things back on track work wise and getting my routine back down. all in all a successful week.

Throwback - Mongoose Judge Dredd 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

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

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).
