WIP: BFG imperial fleet

I recently found my old BFG fleet that had been languishing under my mums house for eons.. figured, since im between jobs for 2 weeks, I ought to do something constructive.

This is basically a rescue job. At this stage, ive stripped the crappy mismatched paint job from them,  broken them all back down to the original parts, chipped off the caked on glue, replaced any missing parts with bits I cast myself or scratch built, rebuilt them & based all the metal models using metal rods (because fuck those stupid plastic sticks!). 

This whole fleet will be for sale once ive finished painting it!

There is also a decent space marine element to this fleet.

Since these pics were snapped, ive almost finished painting the whole fleet!

The SM are Imperial fists & the imperial ships are an attached navy fleet who have been given the honour of being able to bear the Imperial fist\ colours.

Golden demon '12 entries: pt2

Now that the dust has settled after the usual mad rush to complete all my entries for this year.. Golden Demon has been & gone.
The rule changes didnt work in my favour, but more specifically, there was some incredible entries on display this year! (that translates to I didnt even make it to the finals this year :( )

Anyway, it was all very hectic in the lead up (hence the lack of posting) & I(read as: my fiancée) decided that I needed a break afterwards.
So I jumped on a plane to go sleep off the stress on a tropical island beach, in Fiji!

But enough of that.. I should get around to the point of the post: the pics of my entries for GD!

As always, the little things that cost me in the comp are glaringly obvious now that ive reviewed the models with objective eyes (& eyes that arent sore from long work hours followed by long painting hours!).
But these are the thing you learn from..

So, thats my attempt for a demon in GD '12.. the result wasnt exactly satisfying, but I feel invigorated & ready to push even harder for next year.
So much so, that Ive already started planning next years entries..

Golden demon '12 entries..

Ive just realised that ive completely forgotten to post any of the other work ive been doing towards GD this year!

So here are some WIP shots:

These pics are pretty old now.. with GD looming near, progress has been at full throttle.

Theres also one other project im working on for GD this year.. pics are due in the next week or so.

A hint of something to come?
