Krefey Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 This month's theme is unfinished. This will be a bit different to usual months as you're allowed to choose something that has already started to be painted, it's just not finished yet. You can still paint something from scratch though. Rules: - current state photo with name and date - final piece by midnight on the 30th of October - for completion photo, please submit a comparison photo to show what it started as and what the final look is so people can see what went into the piece.

chromedog Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 True art is never 'finished', merely abandoned. 😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I will optimistically put my uninjured hand up for this. It would be excellent motivation to knock-out the Bull Centaurs that have been languishing with only the very start of painting done. However, if the doctor's worst case scenario comes to fruition I am unable to use my dominant hand for 4 more weeks....so would miss the deadline. Here is hoping I recover faster than that. But I will post up a photo of where the unit is in the near future in the hope I can contribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b20f08 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 This building, part of a large Kelly's Heroes battle board, was conceived over eight years ago but never saw completion. Choosing this one because it sounds right - the Church of Our Lady of Misconceived Ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratboy Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Having recently knocked the dust off the old painting table, much like the lost city of the Aztecs, I discovered treasures aplenty! I am weighing in on this one with the following: Magore’s Fiends I bought these shortly after they were released. Got all excited about painting them ... and then we do one of those awesome fast forward through time things that they use in movies to today. Thankfully, the photo doesn't show up too much of the dust that they've collected and this is a great opportunity for me to A ) Actually paint some toy soldiers again B ) Finish at least one of the four warbands I own Wish me luck! PS. I, Ratboy, do solemnly swear that this photo was taken on the 4th October, 2021. Signed and verified by authority of me: Ratboy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromedog Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I just had to pay my first parking fine ... so no funds available for my hobby this month and no backlog to speak of. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatface Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) I've been looking at AK-47 Republic for yeeeears (and like a lot of my lead pile, stuff was bought then stashed). It revolves around the Bush Wars and Toyota Wars that plagued African nations for decades, and continues to do so (along with a chunk of the Middle East). I painted a bit of stuff for an old 15mm Vietnam game ("Militia" infantry will be repainted from black pyjamas and M113s will be repurposed)... but I still had more to do... finally dug some of the bits out of the pile... Here's a photo of the stuff: 2 T-55, another M113, 6 Toyota Hilux, 2 Landrover, 2 Jeep, a bunch of US infantry (for "Professional" troops), and 4 mortar teams. This is (of course) happening at the same time as the new Maschinen Krieger stuff is about to arrive... and while I have 6mm Napoleonic Russians on the painting desk...

I'd offer to send you a care package of random miniatures that fit into a category that you like, but I don't believe that AusPost would get it to you by the end of the month... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromedog Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'm stuck on my P2s until lockdown is over for the state (I technically finished my 2 years on the 9th September.). At least it was only a fine, no demerits (they can affect your upgrade from p2 to unrestricted). That'll teach me to look for not so well displayed signs in future. Stores should re-open by my birthday, which gives me at least 2 days to do something before the month ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromedog Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Stores will be reopening this coming monday. This gives me a few weeks more than I thought. Since we have achieved benchmark 1.0 (70% single dose). Expected benchmark 2.0 will be October 25 at 80%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b20f08 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) My submission. Cheers. Front Back And for a perspective view, a display showing a 17pdr crewed gun and attendant vehicle; other side is another crewed 25pdr with two bren gun carriers for infantry support. Like I said this is part of a much much larger project so the church is only one of many building. Good to finally get the first building at least completed. Cheers.
