About the Project

I have decided to help keep my motivation, to do a weekly update of what I have been doing. This will hopefully stave off the fatigue of the never ending pile of potential, and also reassure me that I am sort of making progress. The project will have a range of miniatures from different genres such as kingdom death monster, burrows and badgers, moonstone, marvel crisis protocol, Star Wars shatterpoint and everything in between. The last count was about 850 miniatures, that need to be painted. Normally they are then stored away but at least they will be completed.

Thanks for the golden button.

I don’t think I like my images being that big on a screen as all I can see are the issues.

A few more Moonstone off the pile of potential.  These do include the WIPs from today’s XLBS.

So for this week I have decided to go back and do some Moonstone.

Knoll the Troll has been completed (except for the base as is usual for my Moonstone miniatures).  They turned out very green.

Then I have some gnomes which have been started and are up to this stage.  They are not bad and I have hope they will turn out alright.

Only one miniature painted this week.

I also based all of my Bushido miniatures.

Also I have started painting Knoll from Moonstone.

Only 2 models complete this week both from bushido.

I also have started to build my Warhammer Quest Cursed City.  17 models built and a shed load more to go.

Well fixing the model went……not well.

So it is back in the box and I will hopefully forget it ever existed.

Only the model painted this week as I am still struggling to find the love.  The model is Buzenbo from Bushido.  Although I like the model I have dropped it a couple of times so the wings keep falling off.

Despite that I mostly like the end result.

Week 27

The base still needs sorting but I am unsure what to do with it.

I may add this to my burrows and badgers collection so match it up with them.  Or start a new scheme for the Bushido miniatures.

6 month anniversary I guess.

have had a slow week due to a few struggles with motivation, but I did finish a couple more.

Not the best standard but good enough for tabletop if I ever use them for that.

First another KDM mini. Unusually for Kingdom Death it is a fully clothed female figure.

You would think with all the photos I take for these updates, I would be getting better but never mind.

Next up is Apocalypse for MCP, his paint job is alright, especially considering it is the second attempt after finding some unforgivable mould lines 80% through the first one.

I also tried to fix a broken miniature as some time in the last 22 months I painted a Cosmic Ghost Rider and the dropped it.  I have been putting off fixing it as the connection points are garbage and I am back handed.

Week 26

I may take couple of weeks off from painting as I haven’t been enjoying my end results.

But we shall see.

6 more burrows and badgers done, and now all my prunes B&B minis are all complete and now only the last Kickstarter needs completing.

Also a kingdom death monster model has been finished

Up next are a few more Kingdom Death monster models and also Apocalypse from Marvel Crisis Protocol.

With Apocalypse I started painting but realised I left some massive gaps and building lines over the model.  Enough that I had to scrape off and restart after spending a couple of hours on the mini already.

it did mean that I did have certain 90’s theme tune going through my head at random times.

So 4 more Burrows and badgers minis finished.  These are 4 of the ghasts, I have keep a simple colour scheme for all of them so they were relatively to paint.  6 smaller ghasts to go and then all of my primed Burriws and Badgers will be completed.

So next up is working on the remaining Burrows and badgers primed models.  The models up next shouldn’t be too difficult as I will just follow the same colour sheen as the rest of the ghast models.

I also have the three kingdom death models but to be honest I have somewhat stalled on those as awaiting some inspiration.  I do still have a few other KDM models that are primed and ready to paint so should move on to those soon as well.

i have also started to build my blood bowl miniatures for season 3 and have half built my bretonians.  If I am honest building the models is always the worst part of the joint for me, I would always rather just do the painting.

One day when I am at work next week, I will use a break to update my spreadsheet with all if the new stuff and what has been completed.  In the style of some other projects that have been seen, I will also keep a running total of what I have left to paint.
