Here are some better photos as promised.

 

The old 3rd Edition I believe Autocanon fig I got off eBay. He had a pretty cool backpack:

One of three havocs built using Imperial Guard Autocanons, this one also used probably a 3rd Edition era plastic loyalist missile launcher which was canabalized to do the shoulder mount. I also used the flat hand though originally I was going to use some pointing arm I couldn't find... Settled on this while searching for bits.

Next the one everyone likes best, which I actually built last, is the one using the Hero Bike Base from Dragon Forge plus the legs of an Assault Marine. The hands come from either a loyalist, but I think a Chaos vehicle upgrade sprue. Shoulder pads might be from 2nd Edition, head is loyalist sergent...

Some WIP Nurglings, someday I hope to be able to use them in the Diseased Sons, maybe after Seige of Vraks 3...

And last the demonic mount I've been working on. This base is from Epicast and the model itself is long, long, long OOP. I got it off eBay:

Total flashback here but the first Autocannon is a late 2nd Ed. model :)

 

Some truly inspiring work here :confused:

Almost finished those five OOP Khorne Bezerkers. They've taken way too long, but I have bigger problems in life than my miniature painting speed.

QFT! :D

 

the longer it takes to get something painted, the greater the satisfaction of getting it done!

 

...at least, that's what I tell myself... ;)

 

Good to see you're still around Muskie :)

I haven't painted anything, my paints have been in storage for months, but I did build something which may appeal to the folks who like looking at painted miniatures and in-progress painted miniatures and reading about miniature painting in general. It still needs some fine tuning, but I blogged about it.

The pictures in this thread seem to be working, not sure why my avatar which should be hosted by B&C or Muschamp.ca isn't working since the changes to the B&C. I will have to get back to painting, but I still am having trouble finding a full time job.

I haven't painted anything for a long time. But the rules of the B&C have changed and my work on Servants of Decay the rebel guard list from IA 7 is now post-able. Of course now there are cultists in the regular list, even plague zombies with a special character. I still am going to do a small force of Servants of Decay which can also due double duty or triple duty as cultists or regular IG. I have lots of plans but little opportunity to implement them...

Servant of Decay test figure by Muskie McKay, on Flickr

 

It appears Flickr's default BBCode include which used to work so well, doesn't work so well in the new B&C... I can post HTML from Flickr too. I removed some extraneous HTML tags that magically appeared when I posted the BBCode...

After a three year break from the hobby I got talked into actually buying and painting a model. My back still is a problem and once again I need to find a new job, but I'll probably paint another model or two before another three years pass. It isn't 100% finished and no I don't know what paints I used. I do know I used a very well-used brush that couldn't really keep a point so it doesn't look like my usual work because I used strange paints and a brush that had seen better days, but it is a poor craftsman who blames his tools.

welcome back 

Great blog you got here

I totally relate to your experience coming back after a 10 years break, getting old too (I swear 28 mm looked bigger before :) ), discovering new paints or models, coming from the age of metal and discovering  new plastic kits, regretting some more complex kits, fearing resin, discovering new painters blogs and the few survivors of my time, same approach about collecting ...:)

I´m sorry for your back. I have no back pain but I´m always procrastinating so thank you for posting here. It´s a great reminder and motivates me to go back and dare to paint again.

Thanks again and please try to post more often. B&C hosts a great community. Even if you can´t paint it sure could use the point of view and experience of a Living Ancestor. :D
