Right to the point: I met all of my hobby goals for this convention. That's right, all of those models painted up...and then some! I hit a slump earlier in the month of July and I think it was because I ran into some problems with the A Song of Ice and Fire models. Everything I tried just didn't go right. Priming went bad so then I had to strip the models, which ended up not working as well. Then the color scheme went funky and so on. It was discouraging at first but after a small break from painting I went right back and picked up Infinity.
Two Yu-Jing starter boxes later I started on my Aristeia team, managed to paint up some figures for some folks I know, painted up a Battletech started box birthday gift, and here we are: the night before NoVA. It's a good feeling when you get everything you wanted to painted up and done. Might just need to get another event to motivate me for certain projects...but we'll see.
Without further ado here are some pics of the stuff I've painted up in no particular order:
It's been a blast painting up some of these models. My only complaint with the Aristeia models is that the plastic they use makes it annoying to clean off properly. Still, I feel my progress in knocking out the horde of grey/white/black unpainted models is going well, and I look forward to continuing the trend and seeing where I go from here/
That's all tonight folks. I must continue to prepare for tonight and hopefully, if I can remember to take some pictures I will share them with you! Until next time folks game well and happy hobbying!
I'm most envious of both your progress and paint quality!!
