Foodmachine 2011 Orange Crush.

Hi all,

just finished up my contribution to the Orange Crush charity event for this year's foodmachine,
Lots of us are painting up a model in an orange theme, to be raffled off for charity.

So, here is Salty Pete, gunner WA for the sea dogs.

Good Lord, an update!

Yes, I have finally managed to get some commission work ready to go. Well, almost...
Still need to flock the bases and finish the movement tray, but these guys are otherwise good.
The two other bank rank archers were sadly "cleared up" but the client's partner. Hopefully replacements will be provided eventually.

Comment away folks.

Cheers.

Painting prizes, work and other stuff.

Well, its been a while since I've posted here.

Work has been pretty manic and its keeping me away from my painting desk.

Still, I've been to two recent tourneys (London Hardcore and Fun Quick and Dirty) and picked up best painted army in both of them.

I managed to complete a commission for a friend, he wanted high level paint and was happy to pay for it. Total cost was £30 for this:

I've been speaking to some other painters and I think its time to revise my pricing structure.

As such, I will be charging the following for my work:

Single 28mm scale infantry. Tabletop standard (like the rangers below): £10 per model
Large 28mm scale model. Tabletop standard. Cav and ogre sized creatures: £15-20 depending
Single characters. Display quality. (Constance, Gobber Reinholtd: £30
Monsters/war engines etc: £POA

This is still a fair price for the time and effort that goes into my work. It includes the price of assembly.

I do have some open slots on my work bench currently, so please do get in touch if you are interested in sending some work my way.

Cheers.
Jon.

Commission: Necron Pariahs and Tomb Spyder

My latest work was to paint two units for 40K. Its been a while since I painted any GW models, but having painted a Necron army in the past (sold to the guy who ordered these), so I was not too worried.

The Pariahs have been painted with an off white to show their elite nature and I added some unique rune markings across the shoulder pads to denote their rank. Note the blue rods also, just to add a different touch to the army.

The Spyder has again got a little bit of runic patterning and a lot of battle damage and wear. I guess the years of guarding tombs have not been kind to him.


Till next time.

WIP P Skarre.

Just to let everyone know I am still alive. I'm working on P Skarre for the ETC which is next week. I've got a thread going on the PP site where you can follow the progress if you like:

In other news, my next comission has arrived, five Necron Immortals and a Tomb Spyder. Work will begin on them shortly.

Part of the ship, part of the crew.

Not a commission (more of them soon, I've had some cool requests coming in), but some personal stuff for my ETC army.

I enjoyed painting these guys a lot, hopefully it shows.
