WIPTW 2021 - Update 3
/Normal week, a full work week for me, after a few weeks of holiday, and public holidays.
Work is the same as ever, but routine is getting easier, and I am getting into the swing of things with my painting. I finished my 20 Block and have the next one ready to go.
We (well Kat) will be plastering and painting my workshop soon, so I may slow down painting as I have to clear a bunch out of the room, and she will be wanting to plaster when i would paint, so we will need to work that out. But the upshot is that when the room is done, I can finally carpet it and build my shelves, spraypaint booth, and really get this humming as a workshop.
WIPTW - Rules
Keep track of what i have painted
Can only buy half of what i have painted
Its hard to keep track of the rules due to the way kickstarters work, but in general if i can avoid buying models in general to half of what i painted, and just try to minimise damage with kickstarters i will be fine.
Painted this ‘week’:
15 Models, which is a good run. The Napoli boys worked well as a block as i could do a major colour a night and base coat the next one for the next night and so on. The Venator was the last in the block as i could not think of how to paint him, so i looked at some other paint jobs and got inspired. And the computers were a basic job, screens took a few goes and i am not super happy with them now, but its scatter terrain so i am not going to spend forever on them.
20 Block Progress:
Where I am up to with the current block of 20. For the rules etc of 20 Blocks go here.
I finished the last models from this block - so all the below are done and it took about 3 weeks.
And here is the new block. For the group, i am painting up the Children of Ferrum Sky i got from Kickstarter. So some similar ranges to the last block, but also a couple of switchouts. With only 5 models in the Group, it was easier to fit a few more ranges in.
None of these painted yet, but i am keen to start working on them.
Purchased and delivered:
I think i only bought a Monstrucker from Corvus Belli, but i did pay for some paints and basing material. I also backed a couple of kickstarters.

My monstrucker was delivered, as was the 2nd hand stuff i bought last week, and my bases from Fenris Games, so i was able to base my Napoli boys.
Working on:
Doing a group of Demon Imps from Blacklist as a Pallet Cleanser before the block and assembling Necromunda terrain. Cleaning up Zombicide models and tidying up my workshop and storage room so its easier to clear out soon.
Stats YTD:
A good run so far. I fixed the basing stats, and am working to get better at that. Purchases are still not fixed, I need to look at that.
Pictures:
Pics from this weeks stuff plus some backfilling. As always, nothing like a photo to make things look worse. I try to paint as well as i can but am focused to the 3 foot range, ie on the table. i think they look better than the pics show. I need to get better at photos.
Computer Screens:
Basic job with contrast and drybrushing, Tried livery green for the screens after watching Squidmar, did not work as well for me as his ones.
Napoli Boys:
The official pics had black jackets but i saw a verson with Red and bone and really liked it.
Venator:
One of my Necromunda models. Fun to convert, so much detail to paint.
Back fill:
Here is some models i have painted this year but not uploaded.
Ghetto Lords:
Was fun to paint a few different versions of denim.
Renegade Royal:
Silly model, but i liked the mix of red bodysuit and her white boots.
Strongarm Hero:
Cool model, enjoyed painting the lightning bolt.
TWD Tara:
Not a great model with so many mold lines and a bit soft. But its done.
Silvia:
Skin did not come out super well, but its ok in terms of gaming table. need to get thinner with the paint.
Winter Katarina:
Tried to paint the skin as pale, did not work super well but its ok.
