Work in Progress Wednesday 2-24-16: The Flurry Before The Storm

Yesterday I mentioned that Wyrd’s annual Iron Painter Competition has been announced and that I once again will be throwing my brush into the ring and chronicling my quest for you here. That means that this week’s Work in Progress Wednesday is all about clearing the decks of ongoing projects before the insanity that is Iron Painter arrives.

 

Due to the craziness that is the Iron Painter, I want to finish off or at least get close to finishing off any crucial ongoing projects I have prior to the competition kicking off. I also see this as a solid tune up to make sure I can bring my A-game to my Iron Painter projects. Amongst the projects I have been focusing on this week are some Malifaux models I need to make running the Dreamer a viable option. I also have hit a critical point in my work on the Sigismund project that I have had on my table for a long time (I’m sorry, Chris!) so progress will hopefully come rapidly on that model now.

Everything I’ve been working on this week.

Most of the details are done or just need the final highlight; now it’s on to painting the base and the dreaded Yellow!

I finished off the bases for my Insidious Madnesses and have a solid start on them.

I am getting very close to completion of these Stitched Togethers, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are the next finished miniatures I present to you all.

I primed my Silent Ones and have started in on them in a few spots.

I am really liking the start I have on the Widow Weaver; this is going to be a really fun model to paint.

I primed the Nephilim twins and my plastic Gunsmiths but haven’t started in on painting them yet.

In addition to my work in preparation for Iron Painter, I have also begun my planning for Gen Con 2016.  Yes, I know it’s still 160 days away, but on the other hand it’s only 160 days until Gen Con!!! Due to my free “hotel” changing locations to a different state, this year I have more planning to do. I already have my hotel room booked, but I’m currently contemplating different transportation logistics; I am leaning towards driving up to Gen Con this year instead of flying as it works out to be cheaper, especially since if I flew I would need to rent a car while I was there. I’m still in the planning phase, but I’m getting excited already!

What have you been working on?
