Painting

Well despite the shop opening and working full time there I've managed to do a reasonable amount of painting of late but I'm still very very behind :) Sorry!!

I entered Golden Demon Australia again this year and made the finals with two entries and won a Silver Demon in Warhammer Fantasy Regiment for a unit of Bretonnian peasant bowmen. This was a delight but I was very disappointed for the first time in 7 years to not be able to attend the GD finals in Sydney and see the awesome array of Aussie painting talent.

My other painting and gaming passion is Flames Of War... this scale (15mm) is a real challenge to paint in and a delight to play. I was honoured to be a featured artist in Battle Front's magnificent magazine Art of War II. By far this is the best publication of its type, chock block full of great articles, interviews, pictures and information... if you are interested in WWII, painting or modelling then this for the price is a must buy :)

So what will i do in 2009...well I'm keen to paint up a new army for the ETC championships and sell it in Europe or home, to help pay for my trip... if this interests anyone who is reading... please feel free to contact me for details...it will be a very special project.

I have a few client projects to finish ASAP and then...well hopefully I can really do something ambitious for GD in 2009.... only time; or the lack there of will tell :)

So here are some Tau that Glenn and I have been working on... difficult to paint these stealth suits but we tried to have the dirt/ground effect working its way up the legs of the Tau ... hope you like.

Cheers

Gav :)
