“Neglected But Not Forgotten” Painting Challenge Round-up (March 2021)
The challenge for March was for people to dig into their pile of models and paint something they had owned for at least a year. I think most miniature painters, who have been at it awhile, have no general shortage of such models. the collector’s bug tends to hit model builders pretty strongly, no matter…

Reblog for Túbal Villar: “First time trying to sell my painted stuff… Dark Angels for sale!”
Originally posted on Túbal Villar – Virakotxa: https://www.ebay.com/itm/164825718664 Sad to a degree, but needed in the current situation… Both economical and space-wise… A bit of old and a bit of new… Starting at 50€, it will be my way to measure the market, the interest, and worst case scenario, I could get the same…

April 2021 Second Annual “Paint the Crap You Already Own!” Painting and Hobby Challenge
The “Neglected but Not Forgotten” painting challenge ends on April 2nd, so I thought I’d announce the April challenge before I get too busy doing the “Neglected” round-up, which is looking like it’s going to be large indeed! For April I’m going to do a second annual “Paint the Crap You Already Own!” challenge.* The…

March 2021 “Neglected But Not Forgotten” Painting Challenge
For March I’ll be encouraging everyone to revisit their burgeoning pile of neglected models and pick one or a few old chestnuts you started and for whatever reason stopped working on. Or maybe something you bought a year or two ago and despite your best intentions has been gathering dust ever since. I’m sure everyone,…

Dave Stone at Wargames Terrain Workshop announced he is doing his “Paint What You Got“ community painting challenge. The idea is to paint one or more models of any type and with the deadline not being until February 28, 2021 there is plenty of time. My plan is to finally finish Frank’s Pig Demon and…

Frank’s Pig Demon’s Loincloth (WIP)
I put a little more color on Frank’s Pig Demon today after having left our fiend to its own devices since early October. This time I focused on the loincloth. My plan is to finish this miniature (and finally give it back to Frank) before the end of January for the community painting challenge I…

January 2021 “First of the Year” Painting Challenge
It has been awhile since I’ve done a painting challenge and thought it might be fun to do a challenge where you share a picture of the first miniature you completely finish for 2021. We aren’t interested in completing squads, mobs or other collections this time. The focus is to start 2021 off right by…

Twenty Zombies Join the Gray Legion
The strange desire to assemble models continues so I finished putting together this mob of 20 zombies, which Games Workshops brands aptly enough as Deadwalker Zombies. I suspect that this assembly bug I’ve been experiencing probably is because I don’t really feel like painting Frank’s Pig Demon right now even though I am pretty close…

Works-in-Progress: Frank’s Pig Demon and Wraiths Assembled
I’ve made a little hobby progress this week, working on Frank’s long-suffering pig demon. I’ve been alternately painting and ignoring this miniature for a very long time, but finally I think I’m starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. I had some ambitious ideas for the trident and have painted the…

Miniatures of Magnitude Painting Challenge Round-up
May through June saw the Miniatures of Magnitude painting challenge where the idea is to paint something that is on the larger side. The model didn’t need to be large, but it had to represent something large. As I wrote back in early May, “Aircraft, daemon engines, tanks, giants, trains, cavewomen riding mammoths, ships, and…
