About the Project

For two and a half decades I've been in the wargaming hobby. Collecting, building, converting, and gaming. But very rarely painting. Sadly a crippling fear of paintbrushes and paint pots has meant that while I've bought and built plenty of models the fear of mucking up my stuff has meant I can count on one hand the number of models I've painted to completion, and I wouldn't even need to use all my fingers. Well I've decided to change, pick up the paint brush and fight through the fear to very end. This project log is to showcase this process.

I hate batch painting, I don't think I can't do it at all I just find it soul crushingly awful seeing lines of figures in front of me, managed to do these two at once though.I hate batch painting, I don't think I can't do it at all I just find it soul crushingly awful seeing lines of figures in front of me, managed to do these two at once though.

I told someone today that I was painting this model, I said Warhammerquest plastic halfling, they said if it was a plastic halfling then it probably wasn't from quest. I could, or even probably should of spent a little more time on him then I did but I just wanted to get another model completed, so here he is with a little freehand..I told someone today that I was painting this model, I said Warhammerquest plastic halfling, they said if it was a plastic halfling then it probably wasn't from quest.

not the cleanest of painters, I covered the skirts of these gobbos with bits of sand, I feel as though at this point I've spent hours scraping it back off.not the cleanest of painters, I covered the skirts of these gobbos with bits of sand, I feel as though at this point I've spent hours scraping it back off.

Well been a while since I updated this. Not done any painting since, I explained a little today in a post on this weeks XLBS about the fear of messing up that puts me off picking up a paint brush. Well anyway this is what I’ve been up to, not painting but moving towards it anyway.

I remember it being from void but I have no memory of what it actually is, other than a big hulking robot. the shoulder pad gave me an opportunity to have a play around with Greenstuff.I remember it being from void but I have no memory of what it actually is, other than a big hulking robot. the shoulder pad gave me an opportunity to have a play around with Greenstuff.

No idea where this guy belongs in terms of manufacturer or system, but an easy win getting him done I thought so here he is. No idea where this guy belongs in terms of manufacturer or system, but an easy win getting him done I thought so here he is.
