it has begun only 4 more layers of different greys to get to where i need to go! this time next week i should have all the base colours down and be working on the details before a final week of chipping and weathering

[Nicky]

don't be like that. theres no guarantee i'll get it all done in time

[Oracle]

Made a start on an alternate themed PBC

[And]

Nice, love those tanks, they’re really good too

[moosegrinder]

And I'm out. We might be moving in 2 weeks so I've got to start packing up the jumble sale that is my house. This means packing the painting stuff up so I can take the desk down to make space to store boxes

[And]

Don’t sweat it, Next month. Or month after. Nobody should be beating themselves up over this. 

[moosegrinder]

I was quite looking forward to it. Real life is a fucking cunt sometimes.

reality is I’m also moving house so won’t be able to start on anything til next week at least, so I’ll be luck to produce anything before the deadline.

[Nicky]

initial grey colours are in.

[Albert Fish]

My bike progress, its looking very grimy 

[Oracle]

Ooo how do you do that?

[Albert Fish]

Just a lot of thin black and orange washes in splotches. Then highlighting the resulting mess 

[Oracle]

My quick WIP this morning. 

[Oracle]

I need toilet a decision on the dozer blade, not sure where to go. 
 

May go for an old sponge and stipple. 

[Nicky]

Heres my update hading into the final week:

[The Bag]

With everything that’s going on I’ve had duck all time to do anything, but grabbed a bit of time this weekend to start on my warmaster.  Definitely not meeting this deadline.

 

 

 

The idea is the warmaster is stepping off the top level onto the Knight.  It was originally standing and being crushed but the warmaster had to lift its leg ridiculously high.

[Nicky]

i need to get myself one of those!

Heres an update: blue filter applied, first pass of chipping done. still the turret and the back to chip, then the grime

[Albert Fish]

Both entries looking ridiculously good

[Oracle]

Some evening progress after a late night at work. 

[And]

Well here’s this months, making up the numbers, entry from me. I like these little tanks, painted three for the last DG army I got rid of so this is my fourth. 
I’ve kind of taken inspiration from the article in White dwarf this month and had a mess around with one of the pics in procreate, am assuming that’s ok to stick that here as well, given past entrants use of a bit of manipulation. But I’m not expecting to be judged on that one, it’s just as I’d done it as it was the most recent model I had a pic of and I quite like how it came out for a first try. Still a lot to learn about the software and what it all does but it’s fun to tinker with. 

There’s plenty of vanilla untouched pics for comparison.

[Oracle]

I need to find my sponsons, they’ve disappeared into a bits box.

I’m in, as the dust attests to it was base coated about 18 months ago. It’s going to be blessed by Nurgle so it will hide al the mistakes. 
 

Time to crack on. 

How’s the Rhino coming along @MrEm?

[MrEm]

Err, it’s not! Procrastinating has won again. Maybe I’ll dip my toe in next month’s competition.
