New year plans

Well guys, I spent the last year painting a lot, some of my stuff can be seen here:

I started working on some big projects for Salute painting competition, but as usual got well bogged down in a big sculpting/modelling project. They always take ages and get me down. This is where I got to:

So I ended up 'taking a break' from painting/modelling for a little while. Had been working on a NMM High elf before that:

Anyway, after about a month off, I'm now rediscovering the fire a bit. Think I'm going to move a little bit back towards army painting a little and start a new Grey Knights project. I've been writing a little bit of background for them lately. But before that I'm planning to enter a painting competition at my local store in a couple of weeks, I can do prep and conversions before hand, but all the painting has to be done in 5.5 hrs in the store on the day.

So I'm going to look at a Farseer for that first, then move onto the GK project. That's the plan, am pretty keen to start already, but am 200 miles from all hobby materials for another few days yet. Here's to 2013, though work is probably going to keep me busier than ever; Let's hope it's a good year. :)

This blog I can hopefully use to keep track of my painting in 2013, more than I did last year anyway!

Finally a new post!

Am pretty pleased with this latest mini, still a long way to go but improving all the time. Onwards and upwards!

Salute 2012

Phew! It's been a little while since I posted on here, that's for sure.

Hopefully I can get into it a bit more regularly now, I have a few things that I've been doing in the intervening time to share... This was my entry for Sci-fi miniature at Salute this year, I learnt a whole bunch of things doing this, so though I didn't place (man the standard is high!) I certainly learnt a lot!

The miniature is Adept Nemo a warmachine caster.

For some reason I can't make this go any larger, so here's a closer look at the freehand:

And a cheeky WIP shot to show how it came together:
