Back in Da Game

Alright, my office is done being renovated, my con is over, I'm not in the hospital anymore and work isn't being stupid busy. I don't have excuses anymore so back to painting as usual!
I finished of that squad of boyz that was irritating me. With that done I decided to take a break from painting infantry and try my luck with some more conversion projects. I've had a bunch of ideas on how to finish some old projects so now is the time to get back into it.
I ordered $50 of bitz today for random projects. Just some stuff to finish up a few things, and to fulfill some crazy ideas I've had. I also need to order those forgeworld grot riggers *sigh* Everytime I go to forgeworlds site I spend at least $100. Really need to stop that.

Stuff on the go:
- Chinork Battlewagon
- Crashed trukks (had a sweet idea how to do it at my con, will show it off when I have more together)
- Lootas/meks (on sprue)


Stuff I'll get to eventually
- 16 man squad of boyz (to paint)
- 12 man squad of boyz (to finish assembly)
- Warboss (To finishing painting)

- Huey #2 from scratch (hahahahaha, I hate myself :p)
- Tank Bustas (clean up hasty painting)
- Wartrukks
- Warbuggies
 

 I thought I'd show you my China Cabinet first. It's an idea I got from a friend. That way I can display my figs in my living room without being a total nerd ;) Also it keeps my cat from chewing on them ;P
This is my lovely new painting desk. Already covered in random supplies and projects.
My goal is to keep it neater than the last one, we'll see how long that lasts.










Chinork is starting to come along nicely. I got stalled a few months ago with how to do the rotors and engines. Now that I figured that out (in a flash of insite) It's back to business as usual. And now for my favorite of conversion tasks armor plates and rivets! /sarcasm. At least it gives really good results for the labor.
I ordered some engine bitz off ebay today, hopefully they'll be the right scale when they arrive a few weeks from now.




Random assortment of bitz reserved for the Chinork. Good on you if you can make out what they are, and what they're for.










This is the tub of ongoing projects. I've been hiding stuff in here that I don't want to be working on right now. I find it helps me concentrate if I don't have too much on my painting desk at any one time.
As stuff gets finished, I can dive in here and grab the next thing to be on the go.
