Thanks. It was a labour of love, and some swearing. I wish I was a better photographer, just couldn't get some of the detail in.

Welcome to the Golden Gobbo painting competition. If you'd like to read some of the ancient history you can on the Realm of Chaos 80s blog.
This competition is held some years and you'll find threads here describing how to enter and when the competition is running (typically after BOYL each year).
Other than the fame and wonderment of your peers there is often a prize kindly donated and you'll have the wonder of being awarded badges for your profile here.

Oh man this is great!! Would love to get the original gyrocopter for my Dwarf army (perhaps I should pull my finger out and finish off the other first though!!)…

Ooo nice, not seen a Gyrocopter in years.
I wanna watch mad max now.

Just watch out for the snake!
Which gives me an idea for one of the other gyrocopters..

Thought I would pop a recently repainted Fighter figure in as my entry to the Golden Gobbo. A sentimental entrance, really. It had been languishing in a half-forgotten bits box for over thirty years, I rediscovered it somehow and that has marked my recent return to Oldhammer and the spend-idge of many monies.

Nice! Got that mini painted from my youth… would also benefit from a glow up.

A lot of us are probably feeling like that more these days
Anyhow Bonebonce (love me a Trapdoor reference) welcome to the forum and lovely skin tones on your entry, very nice.

Thanks for your kind words and welcome. 😊

Not a million miles from you, it looks like. I'm from Town too 😄. Just up the road from PMG.

He's excellent. I've been Oldhammering away for a few years now and am nowhere near that standard. Superb effort.

No take-backsies, he's in the GG now. 😉Here he is, certainly not up to GG standards…
Before the glow up, you could see I used to mix my own paint skin tone by combining Blood Angel Orange with Space Wolf Grey, when my only colours were from the Space Marine paint set. 😅
