Catching Up

Hey all. It's been a long, long time. I've been a combination of lazy and busy (yes, for several months), and I totally dropped the ball on this whole blogging thing. I'm afraid I just suck at keeping a blog regularly updated.

For what it's worth, I'll show you something related to my previous post - the finished pictures of that contest entry.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5 - Finished

And there we are. I didn't win, not anywhere close, but at least I tried and learned a bunch of new things. Like object source lighting, non-metal metal, a new technique for painting red (that I've since forgotten, unfortunately). And that's awesome.

Finally, A Challenge Worthy of My Skill!

So I'm going to get in on a Blood Angels-only painting contest featured on Bell of Lost Souls and sponsored by BattleForgeGames. It's certainly worth doing, since I stand to potentially win a new Baal Predator, a box of Sanguinary Guard and a box of Death Company! You know, if I'm good enough.

I've got to assemble and paint either a new plastic Baal Predator, a squad of Sanguinary Guard OR a squad of Death Company by May 21. And because I have got to post SOMETHING on this blog once in a while, I'm posting progress shots here as I go!

Wish me luck!
