As darnok reminded me, I should really have a new thread for 2023. Once again, going to try and paint at least twenty minutes every day for the whole year. I'll post a picture of each day's work as I go to keep myself on track, so prepare for many quick cell phone camera pics that show slooooow progress. Here's a link to the 2022 thread: eefl.freeforums.net/thread/2808/hobby365-2022I started the new year in the middle of painting Volkmar the Grim. Here's the year so far: Day 1: Day 2: Day 3: Day 4: Day 5: Day 6: And tonight's work, Day 7: Finished off the red cape and worked on the green and cream sections.

Your work on the amazing new Volkmar sculpt actually inspired me to get a wriggle on and finally finish getting the old version ready for battle.
You've hit 2023 running!

Your work on the amazing new Volkmar sculpt actually inspired me to get a wriggle on and finally finish getting the old version ready for battle. You've hit 2023 running! Great to hear that! Sad the new Volkmar and war altar got such a brief run, it's a great kit. Good luck on your Volkmar! Great to see you continueing this another year. Best of luck for all your projects, and I will follow this with interest. Thanks! I've got some fun projects planned for this year 😁 Day 8: More work on the Jade Griffon and highlighted the black and cream bits a little. Volkmar's coming along, probably only a few more days left.

Day 13: Worked on assembling the start of the war altar. Probably will be a few days before I can prime it, due to rain. I'll try and assemble some each day and prime when the weather improves. While I'm waiting I'm working on painting a secondhand empire captain I picked up. One of my favorite miniatures in the whole range. Obviously he'll need a new base.

Day 16: Went back over the yellow with a darker basecoat to try and get a better color. Then washed the metals and cape. The primer coat on this secondhand model was rough.
