Current Project List

 (This is mainly copied and pasted from a post I made on Warseer)

I am a modeler/painter who plays a game or two once a week. I have a semi-large collection of models that.....aren't getting done very fast.

Its not that I don't work on them. I spend part of a day or so every week trying to get these done. Some of you may say this is enough. In all honesty it has been up until this point. I promised myself I would take the laid-back approach to this hobby and not worry too much about it, but one of my problems is that whatever I tend to go at, I tend to try to give my utmost. This goes for everything, (save video games, which I seem to have cured myself of this,) from writing to work to even cleaning the house.

I say this because, of late, I have been very dissatisfied with how slowly my vision of what my armies will look like on the table-top are coming to pass. I can proudly say that one army is mostly finished (Necrons, the love of my "gaming life" for this hobby) but even they are leaving me dissatisfied, for I get new visions of how they would look so much better.....in NMM, something I have been practicing of late and happily getting better at.

I have also been getting the strong urge lately to make scratch-build projects and sell them online. I realize there are many such people around, and that whatever I come up with will likely not be very successful. I believe I have an advantage, however, in that I seem to be able to find niches to fill in whatever I do. I can come up with new ideas or better old ones, and I believe this will give me an edge.

Thus the purpose of this thread is to make an attempt at a steady flow of models getting done, as well as scratch-build projects. Progress may be slow at first. I am hoping that some people can find my work interesting and help push me through with a bit of support.

Here is what I have that is *done* or close enough to being done to be happy with it, apoligies for how scattered it is, I will orginize it in later posts.

  • 2 Chaos Berserkers of Khorne (Bases need to be done)

  • 5 Ork lootas (love these, need to fill the squad out at some point)
  • 10 old metal Daemonettes
  • 10 new plastic daemonettes (wish they were the old metal ones!)

  • 1 herald on juggernaut (need to find the rest of the parts for him and put him together)
  • 1 wave serpent

FANTASY

Done:

  • 1 Dwarf Cannon (will re-do)
  • 2 Dwarf Thunderers
Need to finish
  • The rest of my 40 thunderers
  • Need to take apart my warriors and give them all Great Weapons or make them crossbowmen (about 20 warriors)
  • 1 Organ Gun
  • 1 White Dwarf
  • 1 Runepriest
  • This army isn't completely bought yet and is in progress.
  • Scrapped an entire Vampire-Counts starter box (90 dollar one) I don't like the way it plays.
  • 1 Vlad Model (love the way it looks)
Now, on to planned projects.

Projects for friends:
  • 1 Avatars of War Chaos Lord with Sword and Shield
  • 1 Plague Furnace
  • 1 Screaming Bell (I believe that is right?)
  • 1 Forgefather Vulkan Hestan
  • 2 Doomwheels
  • 1 GK's Land Raider Reedeemer

Resin Kits I want to make:
  1. Items in yellow can be done as moldable kits
  2. Items without a highlight are likely too tough to make into a moldable kit. 
  3.  Items in green are Superheavy/Titan projects which will hopefully yield a lot of money.
  4. Items in Red MUST be one-offs-no reproductions!
  5. Items in Red and with an asterisk MUST be one-offs and might be hard to do.*
  6. Items in Blue are planned projects to make into limited kits once enough experience in Kit-making is gained.
