Fear not!! Progress still continues!

And I bet you guys were thinking, and Chris has stopped posting for a few days again, guess we won't see an update for 6 months eh? Have been a bit "busy" (busy meaning i've been playing WoW a-lot). What can i say? I am hell bent on getting at least one char to Lv70 prior to the release of Wrath of the Lich King (and I am trying to catch up to the Guild Mastah of my Alliance Guild!)

Nonetheless, progress was made on the base for Denny, and i can safely say, sinking it wasn't too bad. All that i need to do for that base is to just do the black lava step, paint the base details and Denny can be placed into her new 'throne' (this is the main step hindering further work on Gaspy and Denny since i want to get Denny to catch up to Gaspy). I also cleaned up and based a Shredder (aka 'land shark') for my Everblight army (as my first mini to do my actual color test on). Putting the model together wasn't too bad, and the GS work was rather minimal (although the next ones i'm going to put an even SMALLER blob of GS into the hip joint so i dont need to play around too much with cleaning it up after putting the legs on). Painting it shouldnt be too difficult as alot of the detail hasn't been obscured by putting it on the base (in fact it seems to have elevated it slightly, so it feels easier).

Not sure if ill get any painting done this weekend, but we will see. I do hope to get the black lava step done for both minis though (i should probably also start drilling into the shredder's foot so i can stick it to the base too). Otherwise, i will TRY to take a break from WoW early next week and get some new pics done.

to hell with WOW..paint paint paint.
Hmm need to do this myself too...but then with C&C3 and doing plain nothing.
On the other hand..I made an armylist for an Apocalypse battle next weekend: 3500pts of Nids vs Chaos.
The HQ's are the sweetest:
Flying tyrant, tyrant + 3 guards, 2x BL + 7 stealers.
Sorry for the hijacking ;)

Looking forward to new pics.

Oi! Use your own blog, don't hijack mine :P

This APOC game sounds like it should be interesting, although the HQ looks sweet, how many gaunts will be on the table? :P

Nothing screams out OMG WTF?!?! better than seeing 200 odd gaunts on one table *nods*.

I was unlazy and un-WoW'd enough to get a few pics of the Shredder and Denny's base, so not all my time has been spent elsewhere, but yeah, next week i need to try and crack down on a bit more paint work again, especially since Gaspy's body section should be coming to completed phase.
