Everything and anything

So this week has been a mixed bag in regards to ongoing quest of getting my pile of potential reduced.  Some more models have been painted and I have built all of the models from the KDM purchases – which was a total of 29 miniatures.

However I did paint a couple of them.  The do look better in real life and less shiny but they will do.  I did have a few issues with the axeman as he was not built all that well and had a few mould lines that I thought I could get away with, until I couldn’t and had to scrape them away after I was about 80% complete.

I also completed some more burrows and badgers.

The first up is the Mouseketeer which is a good model but I don’t think my paint job did it justice.

Next is the barn owl that I had been putting off for weeks as I wasn’t sure how to do it.  In the end I just went for block colours and some dry brushing, and I think it turned out alright.

The last model is technically complete as the car piper, however, it is one of those that I will want to come back to if at a later date to try some tartan on it.  However they us probably quite done time as u want my list die. To manageable numbers before doing something that time intensive( at heart it will be for me).

Still 5 models in a week is pretty good especially with all the building of miniatures I have been found, and everything else taking up time during Christmas week.  There are also three mine burrows and badgers on the go and may be completed by tomorrow.

However, talking of Christmas, and did rather well out if it and got the following out of Xmas day.

So essentially I think that on Christmas Day I received the following:

Blood Bowl season 3 – 24 minis

Dark Water – 49 minis

Moonstone – 17 minis

So 90 new minis plus the KDM minis means that it in December I gained 119 minis.  I may be back to where I was when I started.

Oh well, at least with this project I can also see how long it is into the new year before I buy some more.
