My Slayers are progressing… skin has been retouched, metallics cleaned up, eyes are staring and base stones picked out.



Will I manage to finish before end of the month??

Will I manage to finish before end of the month??

And here's me struggling to get my two done by Saturday

Ditto, I did manage to do a wash and some metal on my bikers, but I'm not sure quite when I'll get back to them. Must try to have a nice efficient day tomorrow and then spend an hour putting down some highlights on them. I'd say it's a bit touch and go if I finish.

Your slayers are looking great. I do like the colour touches to keep them together (other than the orange hair of course!)

Nice looking models everyone. I’ve never tried bio strip. I use iso alcohol to strip down my squats.

Recently finished these dudes and I’m working on a Blood Slaughterer.

Great flesh hounds, but this is a Dwarf related challenge thread!

Don't forget the gnomes, halflings or anything else short and hairy (hmm.. that gives me an idea... I may be quicker to slap some emulsion on myself!)

 

[Jaq Draco]

Haha yep they just ate some dwarfs, does that count?

 

[Jaq Draco]

these are repro but the sculpts is boss. Harkens back to a time when we nearly got new squats….

Made some more progress, tonight. I might actually get him done by Saturday.
Experimenting with a colored wash over the metallic base. Not sure I like it or not.

And here's me struggling to get my two done by Saturday

I have only just primed the one...

I have only just primed the one...

But I started these two on the first of Feb 😭 I need to reclaim time for hobbying. One just needs varnishing and basing, and the other shading, highlights, hair painting, varnish and basing. So hopefully should both be done by the end of Saturday. Probably doesn't help that I go a bit overboard trying to get everything perfect (for me). Currently on 6 different paints and shades for the helmet horns and I'm still not 100% happy. But I'm trying to teach myself the art of 'good enough' so I don't burn out on painting.

I suspect if you looked at a model when evaluating it and dropped the enough so you called it good, rather than good enough, you would be happier?
Good enough seems code for not very good?

Just decide if it is good, and then move onto the next?

This is wise

It happens for me, up to three times a year sometimes.

So, I think evey metal has a lot to answer for. It wasn’t until I was 35 I finished a mini and varnished it and said that’s good enough
