DavidB Volume(s) of stuff done!

Another Challenge has come to a close. I did not make my point total, but I did succeed in learning new tricks. I try to pick an aspect each season or new hobby tool and add to the knowledge of our hobby.

I really, really dislike painting terrain and vicks. I would much rather paint scores of infantry than one tank or building and I am quite infamous in my group for having tables full of primed and half painted terrain as well as vehicles in which some are still  naked plastic. This season was full on paint as many Vicks as I could and to keep me at it, I watched lots of videos on painting rust and weathering. I am still a noob, but with my weathering efforts it wasn't quite a hard task to paint all the vicks.

A dilapidated tank and a lego marine to start.

Warcry terrain and a band of Corvus Cabal for Adepticon.

A flock of swooping hawks and scouts for 40k( after a summer bath of simple green)

More Carnevale and another War Cry band.

House Steiner hits the table after 30 plus years of neglect 

A whole bunch of rusted trucks and terrain with new scifi minis from blackout.

Some more White Scars for 30 and 40k

another truck scaled up for necromunda with space dwarves

old school termies and house steiner mechs

An entire motor pool now in need of troops not even purchased yet. At this point I blasted through them all and decided good enough until decals and final weathering after two days of painting.

House Kurita got some trucks and are all set to face Steiner in 5150 star Army

A small group for pulp and interwar games

Two lances of mechs for house kurita.

Then I was volun-told to take overtime the last day of the challenge and had to leave the above 90% completed.

I needed these trucks for Adepticon and  my goliath Blue Blood gang

3D prints scaled up for Necromundia and I finished the windows after the challenge.

My goliaths suffer from a lack of long range weapons, so I completed the final details on these after the challenge and just completed the optics and goggles today.

A zone mortalis plate for necromunda 3D printed and needed for a capture the base objective. The logo in the center is the Blue Bloods house goliath symbol

Then some boxfly space shuttles for stargrave made from thingiverse and Mr Graves 

I really like the look of them and they do resemble cyberpunk dump trunks

The green and white colors of Waste Management  is intentional!

Like the truck they needed the glass completed. We were going to do stargrave, but decided to wait for a gaming day after Adepticon. The crews still need lots of work done like maybe another day worth, so I will finish them after Adepticon.

That is everything with all mostly-done at the end now completed. Real life intruded a little much, for me and others this year. It was still a wonderful slog here I even if I did not comment much because of other responsibilities, it was grand seeing all the eye candy and effort from everyone! I am unplugging from the internet and family drama as soon as I head out the door today. My nephews and sisters are assisting with my mother and watching my step father's property now. Splashing paint is completed, brushes are clean and now dice are packed. I will be bopping around Adepticon in hawaiian shirts and veteran hoodies...look for the Iraq-Afghanistan veteran ball cap!

Seems my hair is no longer the dark native tresses of my youth!
