“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…

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…

Work Outs: February 14 – 20, 2021 (Tortoise Itching Station, Tree of Turtles, and Athlean-X Arm Workout)
I ran across a cute video of an “itching station” someone built for a resident tortoise at a nature preserve in Oregon. That got me to thinking of a pond near where we often walk, which we’ve taken to calling by the very original name of “Turtle Pond” because of all the turtles. I dug…

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…

Sixty Day Miniatures of Magnitude Painting Challenge! (May-June 2020)
Time for another painting challenge! This time the idea is to paint at least one model that represents a creature, machine or terrain piece that is on the larger side. Aircraft, daemon engines, tanks, giants, trains, cavewomen riding mammoths, ships, and beasts that are great, writhing masses of tentacles, eyes, and maws that tumbled down…

Bugbear with Mace & Shield Finished
I finished my first Etsy Bugbear with a mace and shield last night and took some pictures this morning. I’m fairly happy with him because whatever shortcomings he has paint-wise I do think he does look suitably powerful and brutal. I can’t help but think that my new friend here would be at home in…

Finished All Four Dwarves … but that darned Internet!
I did indeed end up burning the evening oil on the last night of the March Might & Magic Painting Challenge though as it turned out I might as well have not bothered. I finished all four dwarves at 11:35 pm local time, took some quick pictures but when I went to my computer that was…

Second Dwarf Done!
My second dwarf turned out to be a bit stubborn, which I shouldn’t be surprised about considering he’s a dwarf after all and they are kind of known for that. He’s done for now so all’s well that ends well. It is going to be a close shave indeed finishing my other two dwarves by…

April 2020 “Paint the Crap You Already Own!” Painting and Hobby Challenge
My first painting challenge, March Might & Magic, is wrapping up on April 3rd, so I thought I’d announce a new painting challenge for this month: Paint the Crap You Already Own!* The idea is simple. You can paint anything you want so long as you owned it before April 1, 2020. Also, as a…
