/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.

This time a bunch of vehicles to use for Post apocalyptic or Zombie games. I have a heap more of these but this is what i have images for.
Read MoreThrowback - 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.

Another week flys by. I got a ton of work done on a couple of tanks for our January Painting challenge, but did not get them to the point i consider them finished enough.
I have a bunch of other stuff half painted as well, so i am still making progress.
Read MoreThrowback - 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.

The final part of the first WIPTW for the year. who would have though the biggest hassle of being on holiday was painting so much it takes forever to document.

Read MoreHalloween Havoc - Game Report for Last Days
/
Finally have time to get this written up. Since i dont play tournament games anymore, i have been keen on larger games, with a theme etc. This allows for more models, a longer game, more terrain and its a good way to focus on getting terrain and models finished.

/
Here are the images for the figures i painted up to the first update from the Walking Dead game. more tomorrow of other models.
I have quite a few painted and i need to upload them, but these are the ones i got done over the break. I am trying to get the set finished, so working on 1 a week, has fallen back a little, but once i get into the groove i can churn them out.
Read MoreWIPTW - 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).
Read MoreThrowback - Frostgrave Warband
/
In an effort to have a record of all of what i have done (for viewers and for evidence in case the house burns down), i am working back through my models and uploading them. I figured i would do this in themes.
So for this first post, lets look at my Frostgrave Warband.
Read More2019 recap and 2020 plan
/So i have learned that its not always easy to maintain a posting schedule. I am playing and painting, but with 2 kids, and a busy business, finding the time to post regularly is not easy. As i get better at photo editing, its becoming easier, and now that i have a laptop i can post while in the lounge and watching the kids.

So my plan got a bit derailed since last time, i was busy with work and getting ready for baby number 2. And then Baby number 2 arrived 4 weeks early on the 28th. Keira (is her name), spent the first two weeks in NICU with her mum so i was full time dad with my other daughter Mia, so painting was low. But i actually got a bit done when the nanny had her and when she slept and i was not at the hospital.

A quieter week this week as i was out of town for 3 days for a conference. I expect that over the coming weeks I will have less stuff to show as i have more out of town trips and we have a baby due in 5 weeks (which may also mean I don’t go out of town).

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.
Read MoreShipping Containers
/
I got inspired by watching the Black Magic Craft video on making Shipping containers and remembered the ones i built over 10 years ago.
I had realised you never really want just 1 container and i always wanted to play a game that was set in that awesome scene in Batman begins when he is taking down bad buys in the container yard.
So i decided to make my own. now back then my ex wife and I ran a painting studio (well she did the painting) and we also sold resin bases - business was Ironhalo Painting. the business is defunct now, but i have all the molds and originals if i ever need anything.
