Once again the tiny tiny decals represent my last hurdle

I (mostly) finished my next 2 mechs the other day, the anti-air Defender for Robotech and Rifleman for Battletech.

I'm hoping to get the tiny decals done before I go back to work on Monday.

Tomahawks DONE!

The long dark night of the tiny decal has come to an end, temporarily anyway.

It feels great to get my first 2 models for this game done, that always seems to start some momentum.  And I'm really looking forward to painting my first Valkyrie.

Hobby Grab Bag - scattershot edition

Made a lot of movement on projects today...can't say I got a lot done.

First up my Tomahawks/Warhammers for Robotech/Battletech are all done except for the decals...the tiny, tiny decals.

In anticipation of the day I'm not terrified of tiny decals I also built my next mecha project.  The VF-1J Veritech that will be piloted by Rick Hunter.  I decided to start off with the Veritechs that I got in the box game representing Vermillion Team, so I will be painting a VF-1J for Rick Hunter, 2 VF-1As for Max Sterling and Ben Dixon and then 2 generic VF-1A 'Brownies'.  When I get my next box of Veritechs I'll add Skull 1 and a VF-1A for Miriya...but that feels a long way away.

After my last game of Malifaux where my Flesh Construct was a total rock-star I decided I needed a second one to add before my next game.  So hopefully this guy will be done in time for making some bad things happen.

Hopefully tomorrow....FINISHED models.

First 2 Destroids half-way there!

I'm creeping towards the finish line on my first 2 destroids for Robotech.  These are the Tomahawks for Robotech and will be doing double duty as Warhammers in Battletech.

Basic colours are on, time to do some touch-ups and add some (painfully small) decals.

Hobby Grab Bag - The hobby A.D.D. is strong with this one....

Many different irons in the fire this week.  I've got a figure I need to finish for a painting contest by Friday, 2 figs that I need for a game on the same Friday, 1 figure that I had started for my D&D game and never finished, and at long last the start of my Robotech forces!

First up I got a bit (not much at all) more work done on my Jester for the Iron Painter.  The Jester will also being doing double duty in Mordheim.  At this point I have all of his brighter colours done, now it's time to go back and add the darker bits.

Next up I'm FINALLY circling back to Dr McMourning's nurses.  When I played in the Malifaux league I ended up playing Outcasts so the Nurses have been gathering dust for about a month.  Walking away from the league with a new box of Zombie Hounds got my excited about my Resurrectionists again, so more on that shortly.....

When I was bouncing back and forth on what my big bad monster for the snowy mountain would be in my D&D game the first idea I abandoned was a sasquatch.  I started painting him and I'd like to finish him just so he's not another half-painted figure on my desk.

And last but definitely not least, the figures that came out last year that I've been waiting for for almost 30 years....Robotech.  I'm starting my Robotech models off with the Destroids for 2 reasons; first up I haven't decided yet what I'm going to replace the ugly flight stands the veritechs came with, and second because I can use them as old school (3025 era) Battletech models!

That's it for now, if you don't at least see the Nurses and Jester done by the end of the week it means I screwed up.
