Yep its really been six years since I submitted a photo of my painted figures for consideration.
But all that changed today....I've managed to get a set of Photos that I'm happy with at last and have put up for your consideration.
So the links are below.
Go have a look, and let me know If I can still "cut it".
There are seven for the moment and afew more to go up tomorrow, those are more recently painted.

My apologies. Ran across all of them and voted during a normal voting session, and only caught on that it was you as the last one refreshed to someone else's.

Had I known, I would have docked a full point down further! :p

Blimey, If I took 6 years to get some photos, I'd be happy too. :D

Not bad brushwork BTW mate. Id say they're of a typical to good tabletop standard. Nothing particularly special, but all the paint is in the right places etc.

Do you have any display pieces you've been working on? I don't know if you've been totally abstaining from painting or not over these years, but once you get your mojo back you should give yourself a push I think. :)

Peter son of Jack lol. Good to see more of your stuff (Although I am sure I have seen some of those before). My fav of yours recently was the steampunk thing you did, reaper I think

Nice jobs overall! I really like the Phoenix lord and Autarch - beautiful colour selections there and nice dark moody feeling.

Got to say mate I've seen your stuff in the flesh and some of it especially the euromillitaire entry last year and the salute one were flipping fantastic.

Post those mate they're definitely of the cutting of the mustard brigade.

The ones you've just posted just aren't up to that standard. Sorry but they're just not :(

Don't want to offend but your not doing yourself justice with these seven.

Way better standard especially the tempus fugitives which is one off all time favourites. Voted and commented.

Please post the steam punk walker machine you entered for euro it's a beauty.

I like them, really like the dragon bust! Sasha dubois is also really nice, and Tau pathfinder and its base are great... Sometimes the blending transition could be a bit smoother. But the colors schemes selected are great!

I don't recall a Dragonsreach WIP? When do you start?

To be honest once I tend to start painting I usually work at a piece 100%.
Doing a WIP would break my concentration which has happened on other pieces.
Once I lose the "mindset" on a piece, I find it almost impossible to get it back and usually have to stop and strip the piece.
Regretfully ongoing comments and suggestions tend to cause me to 'wander off track', and even stopping to answer the phone has been enough to derail me.
Sadly my doing a WIP would just lead to even more unfinished projects.

I'm the same at work, if I lose focus on a Problem I have to start from scratch retracing all the steps I've taken.

A personality flaw I'm well aware of, limited multitasking skills.

Wouah I fully understand, but I really don't know how you do it... I would spend 2 full days painting non stop in that case...
So you mean that all the mini you are showing you made them at once?

Just about. All the miniatures were painted individually as single projects without diverting onto something else.
That way I'm able to concentrate all my efforts to try to make everything cohesive.

Ahhhhh there we go voted on the walker. You should do another big project like that.

I've been thinking about something, which is smaller but no less involved.
May task my woodworking skills as well.
Lets just say "Arrgh!"
