I painted something! It might not seem like much but trust me, with all the health problems I've been having, this is a vast step
Looking at the lines of figures waiting to be painted, I dusted (literally) these two figures off to get done. The first is Doctor Payne by Heresy Miniatures. Obviously based on John Hurt as the War Doctor from the Doctor Who episode, The Day of The Doctor. The resemblance is amazing and the only thing that kept me from painting him sooner was all that dark brown clothing. He didn't come out too bad in the end though

The second figure is the last of the Star*Hide range that I had left to paint for Craig at Killer-B Games. Standing at 40mm tall, he's Boone, a sasquatch hunter complete with a pair of man traps. Nice..

Now I've got my mojo back, expect some more postings
April? But we're half way through May?
Yes, well, the real world has transpired against me the last month. The health issues I was suffering with earlier have returned, I spent some time in hospital, had a minor operation and am having ongoing treatment. This not only severely hit what I managed to get done in April but it means I haven't picked up a paintbrush at all in May :(
So, I thought I'd at least record what I did get done. They aren't the best of paint jobs, I may revisit a couple of figures in the future..
The god Set from North Star for use with the Opsrey rules, Of Gods and Mortals. Big figure, at least 50mm tall
Painted and finished the cafe that I built in March. A simple colour scheme but it works I feel
A slightly modified Hasslefree figure altered to be Dark Alessa from Silent Hill. She was originally a zombie but I repaired the leg bite and patched the torn skirt. The hair is a too long but it will do
A ghost miniature from the old Chinatown range. It came with flowing ribbons to attach but I felt they wouldn't last on the tabletop so left them off
And a robot from the same OOP range. Really struggled with this one, the lines and edges are a bit soft and needed to be harder really for a robot. Still, it's done
And that's it. Not sure when the next post will be so don't hold your breath..
First completed figure for April now complete, another one from Knight Model's Batman miniature line. This is Harley Quinn, a female sidekick/girlfriend of the Joker, who appears in comic books, the animated series and computer games
These really are lovely figures, OK they're not cheap but they are so worth the cost

I think I might have to get some of the Cityblock buildings from Sarissa Precision now to game with these figures ..
