Well as normal I have too much going on my painting desk to be sane… Ancient Greeks, 100 YW, ww2, Napoleonic and assembling plastic kits without getting anything finished. Yesterday I gave myself a talking too and concentrated on actually completing something and managed some Greeks, which freed up 3 inches square on the desk!
A unit of 5th century BC 28mm Greeks, immortal miniatures now sold by Warlord miniatures, great figures although the spears can plink off at anytime and two tips are somewhere in my painting room. Based for impetus with VVV decals.
28mm @ 5 points x 12 = 60 points
Cheers

TeemuL: Colourful entry, Matt. Something different for a change even when it is actually all the same - just finishing this unit to get some extra space on the desk to be able to start a new project... :) I have a box of those same minis, I might paint some of them now that I have seen what you have done - thank you for inspiration. It is funny how colourful these actually are, they are half naked and have plain clothes, but the colourful shields and helmets caption the eye. The nice green bases add more colour and the overall feeling is very colourful. One more lesson to focus painting the areas that matter!
Great work on these hoplites, Matt. I had to laugh at the description of your present 'hobby condition' as it is pretty much identical to my own: a bunch of things happening but nothing crossing the finish line. Nonetheless kudos to you in getting these fine chaps done!
ReplyDeleteI did try to also complete a bulldozer but spent several hours researching serial numbers for British and American D7 dozers rather than just adding stars……
DeleteBrilliant stuff
ReplyDeleteCheers mate
DeleteAy but you build points bombes with various spinning of plates - just saying - as I am doing something similar albeit finishing something small each week. Nice entry matey
ReplyDeleteYes, 70 US airborne figures, 12 jeeps and 60 US infantry, 5 WOTR figs, 3 aircraft, and 10 Cuirassiers all at different stages…… and I did think about building another kit today….,
DeleteCheers Dave, yes but the inner squirrel wants to add more stuff, the best thing I ever did was reduce my size of my desk as the 6 ft one was always full to the brim!
DeleteHopefully points bomb next Thursday.
Cheers
Matt
Great work Matt. As others have already noted, your "hobby condition" sounds pretty familiar to me!
ReplyDeleteI cannot help myself, I have 4 ft table and a 2ft side table and I cannot fit a coffe cup anywhere!
DeleteThese are great. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers Bruce
DeleteThose shields are the business, nice work!
ReplyDeleteThe decals are getting old so lots of clear varnish and decal softener, still not 100 % happy with them
DeleteNice work on clearing off 3"!
ReplyDeletelol, I will post a pic on the discord!
DeleteBasically getting things done is more important than getting a huge amountnof points, specially if you're having fun doing so. Besides your painting is excellent and those scenic puctures really enhance the feel!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sander, my desk though is normally chaos anyway!
DeleteCheers
Matt
Good focus Matt, I laughed when I saw the list you mentioned to Dave but then realised that there's nothing wrong with that!
ReplyDeleteIt is a constant battle not to fill up a spot when it empties ….
DeleteNice painting - enjoyed seeing some Classical Greeks painted up!
ReplyDeleteI gage around 80 to complete the army. They are not high on the important list but I was getting sick of olive drab and brown on my airborne project
DeleteGreat work, love the skin tone. Well done!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate, really happy with my method now
DeleteVery nice
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard
DeleteYour motivational talk to yourself has done the trick, well done!
ReplyDeleteYes, to be productive I just need to make a list and then tick the list.
DeleteCheers
Matt
Luvvly work Matt!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate
