I, Dr. Gargunza, oath to paint the following in the rear end-cold month of January: (1) Caribbean Pirate Ship (Revell, 1:72) and (1) Cairn Wraith (GW, 28mm). The boat is only partly assembled and still on sprues; the wraith is zenithal primed.



The link to the original pic is here in case the thumbnail is too small to read.
(I might jump in on the retro challenge, if I can find one of my old minis that isn't broken. :( )

And a Speed Paint complete! Complete with fresh snow, because loving winter.


Here's a better picture of what the painted piece looks like:

Well, this turned out weird.

Before.

After



It doesn't look nearly as cool and impressionistic in reality as it does in the full-size shots. :sigh:

I completed this guy in less than a day. Can I claim Speed Painting, or is that one really strict about the accepted deadline thing?

E: Probably help if I had the completed timestamp image in there too.




E2: Wait, why is my timestamp going backwards? Did I gently caress something up with the time website?

E3: Okay, clearly I did something wrong, since the UTC clock is at the same point on both images, which doesn't match the time in SST in either shot. Scratch speed painting, how do I fix this?
I have no idea what happened here, but hopefully you do!

Utterly useless.
Oath complete!


First up, an army for DBA; I/38 Libyan Egyptians. This is a complete army, as it has no options. The camp was made earlier and not part of the oath. I included it because every army should have one.
This army is meant to cover the period 946-712 BC. Before this, a weakening Egypt had been using tribes of Libyans as mercenaries in exchange for settler rights. As Egypt broke up during the reign of Ramesses IX, many more Libyans moved into Egypt and eventually a chieftain called Shoshenq declared himself pharaoh of Northern Egypt. Three Libyan dynasties would follow. They fought the Kushites over control of Southern Egypt, but eventually lost all, and Libyan rule of Egypt ended.


And here's 5 stands of medieval knights, useful for a lot of western European medieval armies.

So, righty here was my first attempt at the retro challenge. It didn't photograph very well, so I tried a much simpler scheme for lefty. Then righty photographed much better the second time. Light, man, I dunno.





For the technical challenege. I had a very muted very white scheme in mind for this guy with hints of purple for the fur and blue for the scales. Didn't really go to plan, as the colors really took over even though they still have quite a bit of white mixed in. Still, turned out pretty well.
