And the Winner is?....

So what have I been up to lately?

The answer, I'm sad to say... not a lot (modelling wise anyway).

My Rumble and Stumble entry was (as I expected) beaten by the Big Mek, and rightly so... but I can rest assured that if I were one of those people to vote for themselves (and not for the mek as I did), then I would have been the victor, so I'm happy with that.

As for recent endeavours... I'm hoping to get some paint to plastic soon, I've got my eye on some Mantic Games minis (lovely looking undead hordes to be exact).

Can't say much more than that for now, but I just wanted to let those of you that may be interested, know how I faired in my first ever painting comp

Take it easy, and hopefully a new pic heavy blog will be heading your way soon enough :)

Rumbling and Stumbling

So it's been a week since my last post, and a pretty slow one at that modelling wise.

HOWEVER... [insert dramatic music]

I managed to find a few hours yesterday to knock up an entry for the latest painting comp over on astro' "The Return of Rumble or Stumble" It was some of my fastest painting ever, as I entered on the closing date itself, but it was fun and I'm fairly happy with my entry, and believe it or not, this is the first painting competition I've ever entered (with the exception of a games day banner comp I entered when I was 14 in which I came 6th)

I'm not really in it for the winning (my vote went to the Big Mekk), I know my limits painting wise, but I did it more for the motivation. And now I know how quickly I can turn out a biker I may finish the rest of them when I get a minute.

Anyway... here's a selection of pics of the fella all based and ready for action.
