Firstly apologies to anyone I was late on commenting on your blog posts, the last 3 days were quite extreme as I moved my eldest daughter from Plymouth to Dublin. She has just finished her degree in animation and before getting her results got recruited by an animation company in Dublin, we've literally had four weeks to organise and get her moved. We are so immensely proud of what she has achieved.
So while trying to recover today I have managed to finish two more of my project, first up is Mongrol, this was quite a challenging colour scheme until I went into GW today and spotted the perfect colour needed.
Have also finished Happy Shrapnel, this one was challenging being mostly silver so I added some blue wash for shade, and blue glaze for mid tones to help break up all the silver.
Hopefully will find time to finish the last couple before the end of the month, but have a lot of actual work to do at the moment so will have to see.
Until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave

Excellent brushwork on these characters and I applaud your plan to finish them all - it promises to be an awesome collection :-)
It seemed silly to leave the project unfinished, as I've wanted to do this for a very long time
Might there be a MekQuake addition in the future?
There will definitely be a Mek Quake done in the coming months,at least a walking version, maybe further down the line I will do the vehicle version
A Blitzspear! you don't do things by half do you, and I'm now salivating at the thought of Mek_Quake in vehicle form (as he should be IMHO).
Congratulations to your daughter too, working in animation, lucky girl I'd love that!
Cheers Roger. Will re-post soon, just got to check round all the other entrants sites.
The Blitzspear and vehicle Mek Quake is to keep my OCD in balance, and think it is now within my skill set.
When she said she was going to do animation I was hoping for a mini film of Death Match, but she went into a different style, so will have to wait on that one, but still very proud of her.
Great news about your daughter mate
Was the best result I could have hoped for as a parent, getting a job before her results, hope your daughter has the same success
And you're really excelling yourself with these figures. Hoping to see a group shot at the end of the month, just to get a sense of scale between the individual models...plus it will look cool.
Will definitely do a group shot at the end of the month, as I would like to have Morigunn, Nemesis, and Blackblood finished as well, but will have to see what time allows this week
