Parenting and business owning have been taking priority over painting and modelling. Which is as it should be but doesn't make for getting stuff done.
I have been fitting in a few minutes here and there to work on bits and pieces but it probably doesn't add up to much more than 2-3 hours a month at the moment, very frustrating when I can see things sitting unfinished in the corner but such is the way of adulthood.
On the occasions I have managed to find time to do anything I have really appreciated the calming effect it has, I can see why I spent so much time as a teenager (badly) painting my now lost fantasy armies, it takes me complete focus and allows me to block out the horrors of modern existence for a while and building models of buildings and scenery from scratch gives real feeling of accomplishment (regardless of the quality of the final piece).
Anyhow, here's a selection of the bits and pieces I have painted since I took the practice up again (I think it was a year or so back, possibly longer).
Some bits and pieces from Castle Ravenloft
Zombie Dragon - the base needs a revisit
Zombie Ogre
Werewolf
Wolf
Vampire bastardhead
Witch
I've been collecting Genestealers and trying out different variations of colour schemes:
Forest Genestealer
Unpleasantly pink Genestealer
Slightly more traditional Genestealer
Karen bought me a started set of Space Marines with paints, it took me the best part of a year to get through them:
Some assorted bits:
Lesser Daemon of Nurgle
Eldar Dark Reaper with AWFUL face
Tzeentch Flamer
Wood Elf Wardancer
Zombie Ogre
Werewolf
Wolf
Vampire bastardhead
