I should really get around to finishing that someday.

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.

A small contribution, Model 20.
The reason for painting this guy was amusement. In his former life he was a banner topper but as soon as I saw him I thought it would be great to put him on his own base. Also in case you were wondering Yes he has got three stages of highlighting despite only being a couple of mil high.
Model 19 of too many to count completed.
One of the first AoS figures I bought, as apposed to Fantasy Battles refugees. It was rather a simple paint scheme but I like it, even with all the mistakes I made touching the brush against a completed part. I also had a go at blending the base topper into my cork bases, I think it worked a little what do you think?Model 18 of too many to count completed.
Mr Otter, possibly my fvourite mini in my collection based on the fact he was the first non GW mini I ever bought. I have no idea where he's from though if anyone could identify him I would be greatfull.
A little prep more.
A little more prep work today. This Celtos figure has a hood on it I made while playing around with greenstuff over 15 years ago. It’s a bit rough, and doesn’t really match the style of the mini but for the sake of nostalgia I chose to keep it. Little bit of basework here too, I have until recently been using the underside of a scrap of textured plastic to make cobbles, these don’t always turn out great so I decided to have a go at sculpting a pattern on the base. It’s not the best example out there but I kind of like it, I think I’ll start to transition across to this method for future fantasy urban miniatures.
Prep for the Prep God?
Firstly anyone know who this guy is? No idea where he came from . . . Like the last model I was unhappy with the base as it was, another integral to the cast, for some odd reason it was Oval . . . anyway he's on a square now like proppa mini.
Spent a bit of time building up the sides of the base with greenstuff like the last model.Preparing to fail is . . . wait what?
In the process of prepping some more models for the paint table.
This guy came with a thick resin integral base, but it was rather thin so I decided to put him on a slotta, sculpting up the sides so it looks like it's a part of the basing.11 to 17 now done.
I have rather a lot of Goblins kicking about, painted this bunch a couple at a time but any more at once and I'd be pulling my hair out, with that in mind I fear it may take me an age to finish all that I own.Well this was a nice surprise to wake up to on Sunday
Well that's it now, time to stop painting, I mean does it get any better than this?
so I remember what it was for.
