I just wanted to share with you what projects i really liked completing this year. Some because the models were cool, other because they were just a bit of fun to do or I really liked the result I achieved. I learned a lot of new painting techniques this year thanks to all of you who gave me the hints. I decided to provide a link to the actual post they were introduced so that I did not have to provide a lot of detail. Either look them up or not. Many equally good projects like the Seebattalion and lots of zombie projects have not been included.
In no particular order:
This was my favourite for the year. I really liked how the weathered skeleton came out.
An impressive model that was surprisingly easy to paint.
All of the Obadiah deserter army was just a bit of fun and there are some great models.
Just love these models and I think I will get some more later in the year.
Reaper yeti models have really stood the test of time. These have been included as I had to learn how I wanted to paint the fur. After several tries I am really happy with the outcome.
A monster of a figure that goes really well with the Yeti.
This chaplain from Westwind evoked exactly what I was after.
I have included this one because I am pleased with how the weathering and snow worked out.
I wanted the Ainsty Jetty and the Lead Boiler Suit Tug to look old a worn. The algae look on the jetty exceeded my expectations.
Russian Unit for Silver Bayonet
Nice models and are my first Silver Bayonet unit.
A really classic model that looked awesome when completed.
These were painted for SWMBO and a lot of time was put into them. Just love the way the golden dragon turned out.
These monks are quirky and a bit cheeky. I just loved the models.
A real bunch of rogues from Pulp Figures,
I think these are wonderfully posed models that just ooze that Ozzie laconic attitude.
Pleased with how this jeep came out.
I had lots of these plaster buildings and models and decided to put them together just for fun.
All of these village and terrain projects were finished because I just like really cool terrain to play on yet is practical in terms of moving figures. They have been cluttered to make the photos look more “realistic” but work equally well “dumbed down” for gaming.
Thanks for indulging me.
I like all of the scenery most, probably because it all goes together nicely. My favourite has to be the mouse village! 🙂
Thanks John, the mouse village was a bit of fun to put together.
A very eclectic mix Dave, and shows the journey you’ve been on this year really well.
Yes a real Cook’s tour with lots of details. Thanks Dave.
Some very cool stuff in there mate.
Cheers Roger.
Thanks Roger.
Bloody awesome all collected together like that. Quite a productive 12 months and all the more so given all of the large pieces and terrain (and boards!)
Kudos!
Some really cool stuff in there! You are so productive it sometimes makes me wonder “does he ever sleep?” Happy New Year! 🙂
I used to sleep walk now I just “sleep paint”. Actually, just discipline – whip me whip me!
Religiously (hence the whip) doing two hours each morning before everyone else wakes up. I batch paint at least one colour on everything and by day five it is just a matter of doing the final touches on each unit. Works a treat.
All very impressive.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete and m ore importantly last year I painted what I wanted to and enjoyed painting which I hadn’t dome for a long time.
