Well I managed to base colour and shade the horse and also made an attempt at the flesh on Gandalf, I am going to have to really try and concentrate on painting though as I can feel my enjoyment of painting slowly ebbing out of me. It also has alot to do with playing pc games as well.

I have been working on my Champion of nurgle. It's still in the modelling phase so I have done a lot of cutting and filing. I managed to cut myself with the hobby knife, two times! ;D I have a little break now, bacause I have to wait for the blood to stop flowing. It's not painfull, but it's quite annoing trying to work on a mini when you spill blood everywhere lol I have also worked on some cork bases for the first time. It was fun and easy, but it looks strange at the moment. I hope it looks better when it's painted.

Lately I have been doing a lot of bases and been experimenting with some cork bases that I have painted up, I can take some shots but I just have to wait for the resin to dry.
And I have been doing very much modelling lately, so I am going to do some more paintwork on my goblin shaman, cave troll and af the grey.

I actually managed a bit of painting with my new glasses thismorning, it is going to take a bit of getting used to but first results are promising.

I'll not be painting today--work will keep me busy. The next two days I have off and I hope to finish up the last Vale elf and the skin on the Burna Boy for the CiN army. If it meets with approval of the good folks here, I'll post a tutorial on my way to do the skin. Once that is done, I hope to get make some good progress on a project for the Wyrd Femme Fatale contest.

I don't think the particular mini I picked to start again was the best realy as it is very fiddly but having said that I am fairly pleased with the results and I know that I can only get better. So far I have the Khandish Kings skin and frontal armour plates done.

But now its taking so long its starting to annoy me, but it was a birthday present from Laura so im inclined to finish it I started to clean up a Cryx warjack (big robot thing, can't remember if it really is a warjack or not) so im going to start painting that soon, which will be a BIG metallic project!

Well I had been painting the Khandish King but it was just getting steadily worse so I binned that. I have however started the head of the huge Chaos guy and so far I am happy with it.

Tim, i still reckon you should be havin' a break until you get accustomed to the glasses how are they anyway?? As for me i'm tired of the pressure i feel when painting the GG entries so i've cleaned a Dark Elf Black Guard champion and my Orc geezer for the CIN army and have been mixing up a new Violet Colour for the Dark Elf.

You might be right mate, the glasses are ok and I don't think it will take too long to get used to them. I think the problem was more with the miniature itself than anything I was doing to it. Anyways today I have painted more on Raum's head, I can't quite decide how to go about the plume on his helmet but that is the only thing that is holding me back on it at the moment.

Nice to hear you're back in the game Tim, How are you finding wearing the glasses, bit strang for the first few weeks, aren't they? Glad they seem to be helping you paint again.

Now that the tutorial and elf trio are finished, I'll be working on yet another elf (quite a different look) for an online contest and a CAV (big stompy robot, similar to Battlemech) for an exchange over at Reaper. The burna boyz are going on the backburner for a bit, since I have a deadline on these two. Unfortunately, no public WIP's for these due to contest rules (although I may solicit some advice privately, ;D).

Today I was basing my ork for GG, but I screwed up everything. I had to rip the mini out of the base, and I have to rebase him later. Now I am just not in the mood for anything concerning sand and pva glue

I was sculpting a better Hungarian these last few days and was VERY angry to find that he had to be stopped nearing completion becuase of a slight trouble with his right knee...
Taking a break from medieval Eastern Europe I may try some Punic Wars figures.
