I have followed Brooke's suggestion. Please tell her to set down the axe.
I like all your recent paintjobs, but I really like those firemen!
I enjoyed following the 2 hour dungeon crawl, also!

Bret, Thanks. I've been working on some terrain for OHM and generating some new characters to run through it. Unfortunately, life has been conspriing against me. I can paint in 1/2 - 1 hour time chunks, but it's hard to work on terrain/play a game in such little time chunks. I was almost crying tears of frustration last night. I've been working on Bombshell Miniature's MicroBabes for the past week or so. I decided to practice on faces this time around, specifically eyes. I've finished the "Civil Officer" (the one in the mini-skirt and thigh-highs) and at the risk of sounding prideful, I did a really good job - I even got a heartfelt "Wow" from my 18-year old son! Anyways, last night, I was putting the finishing touches on "Maelee" (the gal with the big wrench) when I realized her nose looked funny. I mean, it looked like she had a plastic pig's nose strapped to her face. Broke out the dental pick and scrapped away some paint without significant improvement. After fiddling around with her for about an hour I threw in the towel and broke out the Simple Green and spent the next hour stripping the paint off her head and neck. It was then that I realized just how much paint I'd put on her trying to get her eyes right. YIKES! Tonight, I'll re-prime her head and neck and work on the Ripley figure while the primer sets. Though Maelee came through the paint-stipping process pertty well, I'll have to repaint her from the shirt up; hopefully, I'll be able to salvage some of the striping on her shirt (pain to paint!). Fortunately, her torso and pants survived the paint-stripping undisturbed. The current painting project is the 4 Microbabes and a dozen zombies. I'll follow them with a batch of 16 Amazons and a Reaper 28mm dragon yearling I plan on using as a 2-hex dragon (April's project). Oh, regarding "Brooke", did you pick up on the pun? "Brook" = "Little River"? That got a groan from my son....

Maelee would like to invite you over to Scott's blog to meet her fellow MicroBabes. Beware of the zombies! Really, can you turn down those big green eyes? Really?

Hey, Scott,
Very nice job! I don't even try to mess with eyes on my 25mm.
Hope those amazons are coming along!

Hey, Scott, Very nice job! I don't even try to mess with eyes on my 25mm. Hope those amazons are coming along! Thanks! The Amazons have been on hold for the past couple of weeks. Between homeschooling, work, pipe break/water damage repair, taxes, credit card and bank account hacks, and illness, painting hasn't been an option. I think I have 5 of the 16 painted. I hope to spool back up next month, but my son's graduation will take priority. <sigh>

The Amazon Queen commands your attention to Scott's blog. Okay, so she can be a bit pushy. I managed to finish the Amazons I started last Spring during my Thanksgiving vacation, along with some zombie rednecks. I didn't manage the photos until Christmas and obviously didn't update the blog until tonight. I hope you enjoy them. Someday, I'll actually get some gaming in. I've been working on terrain for OHM for a photo walkthrough, but I have no idea when I'll actually get to play. <sigh>

Hey, Scott,
Time to update your blog, old friend! Even if it is to say, "No Update!"
Hope you are doing well, amigo!

Hey, Scott, Time to update your blog, old friend! Even if it is to say, "No Update!" Hope you are doing well, amigo! Bret Bret, Yeah. I've been feeling pretty guilty about that. The last 18 months or so have been pretty crazy. I inadvertently created a monster at home. My son discovered 40K and discovered he has a knack for painting the figures. I haven't been able to get anywhere near my painting table for the past several months! I haven't painted a 15mm mini in nearly a year as I've been trying to reduce my backlog of 1:300 scale armor and spaceship minis. I've also been working on a modular hex terrain project. If it works out, I'll be able to set up DCG maps in 3D. It's been taking a lot of time with my foam cutter. But, I really do need to get back to painting....

I would say Greta is smokin' HOT but I can't decide if that is a loin-cloth or something else! Jokes aside, that's awesome painting, Nuke!

Is that the only piece of armor that she's wearing? Well, one must decide what they want to protect. (When she gets more gold, I suppose she can afford to buy more armor, huh?) With my off-the-cuff comment out of the way, I can now say awesome paint job Scott.

By the way, what are the stats (hits stopped/MA) for the armor she's wearing?
