And that's the kind of attitude I can applaud with vigor and enthusiasm! *insert appropriately enthusiastic applause here* Nothing is a wasted experience I'm learning. Even miniatures I've put on hold have taught me a lot before I put them to one side.

Yeah, there's just SO MUCH to learn in this hobby, the road is the goal. I'm not a natural artist, so everything needs to be learned. Fortunately, I like learning and improving.
A warning about putting things to the side - while you got them on the side, you might find that when you take them out again, you've improved so much that you'll have a hard time trying to fix your previous errors. Been there. Just be ready for it.

Cryx looks pretty good with osl and everything. Same for the troops.
As for the wool not working: I think you sprayed too long with too much paint. To use the wool for some texture you need to go in light, just a small quick burst from the AB and done.
At the same time I can't see the wool making a convincing marble effect, so maybe it's better this way

Thanks all, and I think you are right, Maxxx, too heavy with the airbrush. And this does work - I learned of the approach from a guy on Facebook, he used it on some Eldar jetbikes. Looked fantastic, but I think I need to pull the mask tighter and go lighter on the brush. I'll try again at a later date.

Thanks Digga, glad you're enjoying yourself.
And now... now I am a commission service. Ermergerd.

Quite correct, gents. Not my first choice of minis, but I get money for it, and money is short these days. Elrond, foot and mounted, Elohir, foot and mounted, Eladan foot and mounted, Lindir foot and mounted, Gil-Galad and 30-some knights and warriors. Will keep me busy for a while.

Awesome oist.

The troops, very basic. So artistically speaking, it will be airbrush practise. The heroes will be simple table-top. So my focus is to be efficient, and not do more than I am being paid for, but at the same time deliver good looking models. It will be a challenge to strike the balance.

Ohhh I am sure I would not accomplish that task properly.... I would end up painting a lot more hours than being paid for...
Hoping you will be able to reach that balance, and intrigued on how you'll do it... will you share your process in the project with us all if you find time enough? I would be interesting ^^

Not dropping my own projects even if I have a commission! My girls are nearly done, ready to seal and put on effects here. I'm undecided, green grass to add color and contrast, or yellow grass to add to the coast/beach look? (the wood is supposed to be driftwood)
