Watching Mars Express. 15 minutes in, and it's a delight.

Lovely! Haberfield psychadelic covers are fabulous.
I've got the Eternal Champion with covers by Yoshitaka Amano. Book cover art is a joy to behold, moreso across a big series.

Rökthane Toothcutter Schiltron from @ontosgames.co.uk. Specifically, the Highlander special I picked up at Salute and have procrastinated on painting since buying it. I knew it should be tartan, but that's difficult, as you can see from the close-up! But I think it's effective.

How It Started Vs How It's Going
A story of two Nevilles.
I wanted to paint a second Neville as a disheveled version of the first to show the journey of a poor, battered infantry. Even down to love and hate tattoos on his knuckles, and a battered backpack.
This was a lot of fun.

Just over here being an idiot and doing tartan patterns on 28mm models.
My face hurts from concentrating, I have no idea how people do detailed freehand regularly.
I chose to blame @ontosgames.co.uk for this happening.

Neville from Turnip 28. Great sculpt, and a fun paint.
Tried for a more harmonious palette and wanted to keep him clean and factory fresh, as I have a second one that will be done in a grittier fashion later.

Scene composition and narrative has come on leaps and bounds in the past decade too.
Looking back at the winners from the 90s, there's definitely a broader mix of approaches. Imagine the chops you'd need to put a nurgling in and come away with a medal now!

I think it was my favourite from everything I've seen, but there are some real stunners, not just in the medals too!
Another favourite of mine was this beaut (www.instagram.com/p/DQR8GTojUjD/) which is just a joy to look at.

Sir Gorgonz, from Ennenne Studio's Dungeons & Mice range. Picked it up at SMC after seeing it. A fun project, and they've sculpted such a cute little hero 😍

Trying to work out lighting is difficult. I don't think it's quite right but it'll do.

I should be painting orks, but this lovely mouse knight I picked up at SMC demands my attention this week.

And everyone loves a before and after shot, right?
Sometimes it's right to acknowledge when an idea didn't work, and needs total overhaul. Glad I did it.

Finished my entries for SMC. Keeping one back until after the show, but I reworked my Flower Queen's face on feedback from Fen Model Show judges, and super happy with the improvements.

Vashkor Drool. Yes, it's another ork but this sculpt had a name!
I started this model last year but he's finally finished after languishing on the WIP shelf for so long.

I do like a reddish Martian base on a model. All my Space Wolves and upcoming Ultramarines have that. But I did do this madness for Armies in Parade a few years ago ...

Still thinking on basing schemes. It won't be a decision I make this month though!
