In truth we have been at it for years now, haven't we?  I seem to recall you starting this around the time I was doing Vikings vs Owlbears.

...we have become Old Friends doing this.
I started on the Last Hurrah Project shortly after I moved to Texas from Long Island in '10 & learned how to upload & post photos...friend Justin gave me his old camera, & Edwin taught me how to upload the pic & opened a PhotoBucket account for me. Of course I spent years working up to this. I first started painting miniatures for games in 1963.

The Lads are all based, base coated, & ready for some paint. The G.W. Peasant, Leo Sizechek, is there for size comparison; he's 32 mm to the top of his terrified head.
The Gang:


...Leo does seem to be reacting in an appropriate manner to his setting:




...The Wizard:


...The Flunky & the Lantern Bearer:


...The Muscle:


The lads should be getting some painting attention today...or not.

Thanks, dino. I am happy you like the stuff.
If things stop cropping up to distract me, I hope to have some finished Mushrooms to post soon.
I do have the bases partially done & I am now working on the Mushroom Wizard.

These look great! You must have some strange dreams to come up with this stuff!

Yesterday I finished the Mushroom Wiz, took some photos, did some touch ups, & took some new photos. Here is the end result:










AND the Gang thus far:


...what gets done today, if anything, is anyone's guess.

Fantastic as always!

Thanks, James! I am happy you like the latest addition.

And so you should be. The blue transition with the stars on top is clearly recognisable (for me) of your work. I like it a lot.

Thanks for the kind reply, von Lucky. There are recurring themes through out my work. The star fields is one of the more dramatic ones. It would appear to be a tedious task to do, but I find it relaxing & enjoyable...I think it's the randomness that appeals to me.

DeafNala, my GF says that, thanks to you, she'll be bringing her Glock next time we go for a mushroom hunt!
