I made some more progress over the weekend on my Knights Panther. Not as much as I'd hoped, but we had a lot to do (car seats needed to be adjusted, so when I got out there, I realized just how dirty our van was, so I had to wash and vacuum it, which lead to replacing a few gaskets, which lead to an overall repositioning of the seats so that the kids can't hit each other, which meant taking out and replacing a few of the seats, which made us realize that we really needed a car seat in my truck, which lead to us going to buy a seat and install it, which lead to me taking each of the kids for a one-on-one ride with Daddy in his truck, etc....) over the weekend. Still, I did manage to get a bit done in my "spare" time. That usually means stepping into my studio for a few minutes while my kids are eating snack or watching an episode of Daniel Tiger. It sill works though! They need a good bit more work, but getting closer! The striping on the lances took forever.

I think you're mad for painting stripes on the lances, but I can't deny it looks good.

Longbeards are done! They've got a bit more colour than the Ironbreakers/Irondrakes. I haven't painted a design on the banner as I don't really know what to do with it at the moment.

Noice! They look really good! I like the green! And your Gold looks really smooth and even. Great work!

Here we go again. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with paper banners. so much work and sometimes it just doesn't come together. Let's see what happens tonight.

So I changed my mind with this month pledge when I got some new paint to test. I think I really love war colours layer paints and brushes. I present Farveve Hellblight:

Good job, guys! strutsagget: She looks good! I like the black "magic smoke" coming from her staff. I tend to gravitate to bright colors for stuff like that. Nice to see something different! Naitsabes : I feel your pain! That's a lot of knights! And what's more, it's doubled when you count the horses as well! The paper banner turned out well! You'll have to make a tutorial on how to make one.

Reiksguard complete. that's a good size brick off the paint station. That's a great unit! What a big job. Great work, that banner makes a great contrast to the unit and looks awesome.

I decided to change things up a bit for me and work on some Lizardmen that I want to get ready to sell on eBay. I've bought a lot of L-men off eBay and should be receiving them soon, but in the meantime, I had these two sitting in a box, waiting for me to do something with them. I got as far as I could with them this weekend, but since I'm paying attention down to the smallest detail, I wasn't able to finish them. I'm probably about 2/3's of the way done on both. Bastiladon w/ Solar Engine: Stegadon w/ Engine of the gods: So like I said, I'm not done, so don't judge too harshly. I probably could have gotten more done, but my in-laws came to stay with us for Father's Day, so that took some time. Anyway, let me know if you see something that's simply not working, or any ideas that you might have to help improve them! Thanks!

Looks sweet mottdon. Man I want Lizard monsters. Just can’t justify it at present. Naitsabes - love the mass of Reiksguard. Such an iconic unit
