I've been slack updating on project Dreadnought, which is somewhat related to the release of an expansion for a certain MMO, but I've got images ready to upload. I do need to do some more work before the next batch goes up though, otherwise I won't be showing a great deal of progress.

I noticed on the front page of From The Warp they're starting a back to basics miniature painting series ( Read more... )

Hopefully you'll view my painting more kindly. I've been promising threatening to post some images of my miniature painting attemps for a while. The images are blurry, but hopefully you can see enough of what's going on.

I've not been able to put up pictures of the full models because I cocked up on the photo taking and uploading. Maybe another day ( Read more... )
