As ever, thanks for the positive comments everyone. Always much appreciated.

That sums up my 'painting/modelling time' perfectly!
Easy to get distracted and wander off doing something completely different all the time...
I think I'll make a cup of coffee. What music shall I listen too? What was that thing I meant to look up online? Ooh, post! I'll just put these new models in the correctly labelled box with all the other boxes that constitute the lead pile. The CD's finished what shall I listen to now? That coffee has gone straight through me, I need to go pee. I'll just have a quick look on the forums. I'm bored with this CD I think I'll put something on Youtube on. What shall I watch on Youtube? I want to look at those new models again. I got an email. Oh it's lunchtime now!
It's a wonder I get anything bloody done!

What are these new minis i do not recognize them?
They're from Studio Miniatures. I'm not up to date with certain TV series or films so I honestly don't know who they're supposed to represent but it seems they are 'not' versions of characters. The client wanted them painting as part of the same commission so I thought I'd stick them here.
Could you post a step by step or tutorial when you have time ? Your paintjob is so "smooth".
I've planning for ages to do more tutorial stuff as there seems to be enough interest but time constraints have generally been the issue. It's also awkward to show some things in still pictures alone so I'm looking into getting a video camera but that's not as simple as I'd hoped (if anyone seriously knows their stuff when it comes to camcorders drop me a PM).
