Yea I've been looking at your puppets and Rattys and getting depressed so I figured I'd better get off my ass and paint something.

Some of the detail is really tough to pick out I've been thinking that the seams and stiches might be easier to outline with a pinhead oil wash. But that is probably just the Halloween sugar rush talking

[AcesOfBooks]

Those are pretty sweet

Cheers.
Got another 2 hours of painting in yesterday. Unfortunately it was painting faces for Halloween at teh extended family party and not painting puppets.

There is some really nice detail on the figures that you can see once you get them sprayed

Initially I had a plan to paint certain groups of models together. I ditched that for the much more fun approach of painting whichever model I felt like doing at the time. Mainly because painting these is not like painting an army where you have a set colour scheme and you are doing a number of similar models. Every one of these models has their own paint scheme and production line painting really falls flat when there is very little common colour on figures. That being said I tend to work in very small batches of 2-3 models so I'm not sitting waiting for washes to dry

So on with the pretty pictures.

Completed so far

Wow, those look great! Keep up the excellent work. I think you just inspired me to get some work done....

[themurphyfella]

Well Brian,

Considering how kick ass your seamus is that makes me a happy puppetmaster. Just don't revert to GW 80's
