And I have to thank PF once again for the gift. I can only hope he starts to sell them soon!

Here here, I'd very much like to buy some Loor!

So...Christmas has come and gone, same for the New Year and now...the cast I had in my painting hand. With that gone I started work on the Loor again and finished it today:









As you can see, I'm not a great painter and a shaking hand doesn't help. But the figure is so great that it almost paints itself  :o I'll go over some details later - couldn't really paint the hand holding the gun and there was some bleed on the red on the weapon's optics.

It's very hard to paint with a hand that keeps on shaking, lol. Guess I should have waited to start physiotherapy before trying to work with the hand again  :'(

Not too bad - only needs minimal touch up. That green is great (reminds me of the old GW Scorpion Green).

What's the terrain piece?

Thanks! The green is Vallejo Lime Green, from their Model Color range. And I've just noticed some of the orange sand stuck to the left leg  :'(

The terrain is a gas/water/Unobtanium container, made with a round plastic bottle and caps, plus some drinking straws:





And unpainted:
