Just a quick entry to start the Challenge. Lest we forget the true meaning of the season and the best way to live your life, we have Artizan Design's Jacob Marley to remind us of the consequences...
Jacob was painted using various acrylics & washes. One 28mm figure: 5 points
I am planning on painting mostly "Epic" ACW & BattleTech units with the three themes providing some variation. My wife joined me recently in retirement, so we are finally getting around to the long-planned trip to Australia & New Zealand. Not being alone all day and a vacation will no doubt impact my painting time but I plan to paint like a madman and finish the backlog. Reality of course will be different but it's good to have a plan!
My potential:
Off to prime the last planned entry before we begin the holiday.
Merry Christmas & happy holidays!
Tom

Welcome back to the Challenge, Tom!
Your Jacob Marley is excellent and a very fitting cautionary tale about working during the Holidays. I see you have A LOT of Battletech waiting for your attention. I hope you've joined David's Big Stompy Robot Challenge as I think you could be a serious contender. Is that some Warlord Epic stuff in the handy box? Very interesting! I look foward to seeing what you have in store over the next few months of the Challenge.
5 points for Mr. Marley! Well done!

ReplyDeleteMarley looks absolutely wretched which makes him even more brilliant with your brush work! I am looking forward to your entries this year especially the stompy mechs!
