New Project

I'm now looking to start a new project but before I start I thought I would figure out how many points I have completely painted for both of my armies. As it turns out, I have 67 points of Menoth with 2 casters and also 67 points with 3 casters for Circle. I organized my unpainted/un-assembled as well. Since I'll be leaving for Canada in a couple of days, I don't want to start a unit. It's probably going to be a caster or a solo. Now all I need to do is to choose which one.
(Sorry about the picture quality. IPhones are convenient but take lousy closeups.)

Avatar completed, (more or less)

I think that this model wins my award for the longest period of time to complete from start to finish. I started it nearly two years ago and I only got in the zone with it during one painting session a week ago. All the other sessions were just weren't going right. Green stuff job was awful, Colors weren't blending quite right, dry brushing had too little or too much paint on it, the initial color chosen on the Jack's hull wasn't right... The base, the shield and the arms were the only parts that went decently smooth.
I'm happy with the modification since this was my first major one but there is a lot of improvement to be had in my green stuff manipulation and shaping.
The inspiration for this mod came from a few models that I saw on coolminiornot and from web pics of broken zealot's Avatar (Who as I just discovered, also happens to be on IABN.)
Thanks for checking it out.

Harby completed

"Good enough!" These are the words I need to learn to say to myself. Otherwise I keep touching up my models and the painting never seems to end. Overall I'm quite happy with the result. The only thing that really concerns me is the fragility of the chains since I didn't pin them. I'm positive that one day during transport I will loose one. Lucky for me I'm probably the only person in this country that collect PP, so she'll be safe in my display case.

Finished Castigator

As you can already tell, I like the "showroom" look of my jacks. I haven't been brave enough to try to paint my models with battle wounds, scratches, mud and dirt. Eventually I will take a crack at a battle torn jack but in the meantime, here's my most recent...right of the showroom floor.

Color Creep

When I started painting this army I wanted a dark version of menoth. After having them in my display case for many months I found them looking bland and wanted a little more color. As you can see in the following picture reds are becoming more prominent and the off-white is becoming more dominant than the dark brown.
I might have to go back to my earlier units and give them a touch up so that my army looks as one. I still think that certain groups of models will have their own "look" but I would like the whole army to keep to the palette as close as possible.
