Thanks,
all the above figures are from Blue Moon Manufacturing available in the US thru Old Glory… nice figures IMHO, the only downside being the cast-on integral bases. :?

After "heavy ship work" for our team project "Tsingtao" I painted somewhat for my "WW1/RCW-Triumph & Tragedy-range".
Here are some examples of my collection of Reds, some German regular infantry, Jaegers and Artillery.

Figures are mixed from several ranges: Great War Miniatures, Foundry, West Wind, Black Tree Design, Renegade and Copplestone.

The red sailors in the front are from Copplestone, the far left one from (with the cigarette) from BlachTreeDesign and in the back from WestWinds Russian WW2 range.

So far this month, I've prepped and primed 18 dinosaurs and 1 human, and gotten no further... Did some scenery, at least, but it's been a lousy month on the painting front, and given the holidays loom ever closer, that's all she wrote for December!

I've done slightly better than last month;
Three of HLBS's Triffids;
(http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc183/answeris42/Models/DSCF8780.jpg)

And a scratch built (paper, cardboard, foamboard, balsa wood, some Lego chain and two empty ink cartriges) river gunboat (28mm), HMS Mahratta;
(http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc183/answeris42/Models/DSCF8781.jpg)
(For those interested, she's based roughly on HMS Glatton - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Glatton_(1871) )

Apoligies for the truly awful photos, but as you can see in the latter photo the weather's crap, and I can't be bothered to set up a proper shooting area...

A very good month painting-wise.  Probably my most productive month ever: 104 miniatures.  :o
Greatly helped by having the past 2 weeks off and that some (Somalis) were previously partly painted .
I decided to try and clear my desk at the end of the year, so its a bit of a mixed bag:

Must admit I never liked the concept when you were playing around with this, but have to confess it looks good now finished, (like the T-rex walker cockpit very nice) Though it would look great in US drab with a pig iron APC next to it (very alienesque!).

Thanks for sharing

Yeah I have to echo the commander and say it looks very good now, even if I wasn't convinced at the start - time for me to go and search for an old ATAT!

A lot of beautiful stuff again this month  :-*

I must said that my favourite piece is the POE bust… the flesh tones are really great. Nice work silvana! 8)

It took some had tinkering to get it looking like this but it was worth it in the end. I did'nt think it looked military enough to paint it green but will use it as the escape ship for my Aliens type game.

Hope you all don't mind if I tell you a story. Since my daughter was born 2 years ago I have had very little time to game and paint but did have time to cruise the net waiting for her to go to sleep! I looked at wonderful sites like this and Steve Dean's and began to realize that my painting wasn't up to scratch. I tried black undercoat, grey undercoat, 3 layers etc. and failed miserably. It was taking so long I would never even scatch the surface of the lead mountain. I stripped figures and repainted them. Eventually I realised that I had hit 'paralysis by analysis'. I finally tried a simpler approach - paint an area with just the highlight colour over white undercoat and wash with GW washes. It won't win me any competitions but it is quick and is easily good enough for the tabletop.
So in December I have painted:
14 Darkest Africa Foundry Ruga Ruga
6 Westwind Arabs for Chaos in Cairo
4 Artizan Foreign Legion also for CinC
1 Soviet Tanker - the Westwind freebie with the Doomsday supplement for SOTR.

This is more than I have painted in the last 2 years!
No piccies as I haven't got my camera sorted but I will get there.
