Lots of things on my plate at the moment and I may be in danger of over stretching myself but you know what that mini mojo is like! First up, I've started a challenge on the Oldhammer forum. The idea is that people pick a fantasy miniature of a type that they've never painted before and have a go. We are looking at getting a hundred entries and we are already at 10 so get yer brushes out and get an entry in quick. Here is my first entry Rildo the Crafty. My first ever theif!

I've also decided I was going to paint up 20 gangers to use in Judge Dredd. I figured I'd need a street gang.

First session I got all the flesh done.

Then some of the basic colours.

And they are currently like this. If I get another decent session I reckon I'll get them finished.

I haven't forgotten my Scavvies. I got another of the confrontation figures done but I haven't based him yet.

And I converted up another three one of whom was a figure donated by axiom in the Oldhammer Salvation challenge (I dropped him and his original head popped of him so I thought why the hell not!)

I've also got this Thunderchild miniatures big Mutie to finish as well.

I picked up a dozen of the foundry release of the Oriental Heroes (Tenner on evilbay!)

And along with a box of samurai (7 + 2!) from northstar (there was a sale on) I'm going to get these painted for a game of Osprey's Ronin.

Of course being me, I've given myself a deadline to get all of these done. The end of the month. Yup 12 days away! Wish me luck!

In addition to all this, while my pupils busied themselves with sanding (there are only so many times you can tell them how they are doing it wrong)  I built myself a little doodad!

Using scrap MDF again I built some pillars and glued an upper and lower level.

I added a load of recut MDF scraps (it's designed to bend hence the precut ridges) which gave a lovely texture.

Added various offcuts of bits to give some detailing.

And hey presto we have a two level walkway. I deal for everyday folks walking about in during any random sic-fi based skirmish wargame you care to mention.

And here a couple of likely lads wander along it before it's fully completed.

And here they can be seen playing a futuristic version of hide and seek.

I them cut the whole thing into three section to make it more flexible, connecting buildings or simply to get different sizes. Painting next.
