GD entries progress

So another sad morning!!!
All the good weather that happend in May has drained the fun out of June :-D
To add some more grief our Neighbour died yesterday...I didn't know him very well(I just moved in 2 years ago) and for him it was the best solution( 83 years old and since almost a year he couldn't move/speak/take care of himself). However It's very sad for his wife and family....Why am I mentioning this. Honestly, I have no clue. The sad morning light brought me to it.
Anyway, I tried to take a decent picture of my current GD project in the same sad morning light, with my under-archieving camera on my mobile(Hey, I was rushing to work, bear with me).
Feel free to tell me what you think of them:
It's a very old hybrid metal-plastic kit of a Dark angels tactical squad. I might have explained before, but it seemed like a fun challenge to paint these "vintage" models to a high standard(or at least try to ;-)).
They will be arranged on a kind of glass plate that a good friend is making for me.....connections, what would live be without it :-D

This will be it!!!
Hope they like it in Colonge.
.....Or one of the other entries :-D

Done!!!! Now GD Germany preparations

Not the hobby progress that I was hoping to report but still something I'm quite proud off(and this archievement will free up some time for GD stuff). Remember the post "the other hobby".
Well I can proudly announce that as from last night 23:00 I finished the room that I completley stripped and rejuvenated since the end of February.
I took some snapshots this morning.


And here I hope to deliver some mini-masterworks ;-)
On a side note, my hobby efforts haven't been reduced to 0. I've been able to make some progress, but yesterday during the moving in of my stuff I realised once again that I need to start finishing things. I have like 10.000 projects in different stages of progress. At least 4 of these projects I should get finished before the 7th of August. Let's hope that that incentive is strong enough....because I have another mini-exchange coming up and a Forge world army to paint for a friend....What am I getting myself into :-P

Massive update :-D part 2 (with decent pictures)

Hi all,

I spent this great sunday afternoon painting with some friends. One of them (http://dimsgalleries.blogspot.com/) puts my photographic skills to shame....How hard can it be ;-)
Anyway here are some pictures that I showed last week, but then better :-D
Without much further ado:
Raider


A damsel totting some serious firepower


The original models to test the colour scheme. Some flashy scorpion green freehand sstill need to be added as spot colours.....and bases of course.

A test skaven, still very WIP,but I'm liking my progress so far...Doing the skin wil improve the impact.....that's next on the list ;-)
And finally: "Mein Ehre heisst Trau":


Just for the record. I'm painting SS, because I like the dual challenge: colour scheme and hard to play(outnumbered and outgunned, that's what you get for being "elite"). Absolutly no nazi believes for me...just enjoying a wonderful game called FOW...BTW next army is gonna be allied and I opted for the 4th canadian armored division. I guess I'll be learing to paint a yellow maple leaf on scale 1/100th=> sounds like fun right?
Enjoy the post and keep your eyes open for some future pics....this quality :-D I promise!
