The week of May 6, 2007 will be lots of fun painting-wise. Yeah, I'm a big over-extended, but my stripping jar is standing by for the anticipated disasters.

Hireling Wizard is still in progress, but I think I'm gonna finish him off within the next few minutes. I'm not quite as optimistic about the norse shaman, but I cleaned him up a bit. I've also started up on Ghonad, the Halfling Barbarian by Heresy.
The next bunch represents my grand experiment and a couple of challenges. I'm trying "zenithal priming," meaning prime with black, blast with white to simulate the light source, to help me place the highlights. I think this is how my friend Matt does such great and quick paint jobs, so I'll give it a try; we'll see how that works out!
On the sticks:
- Heresy Miniatures Captain Nathan
- Dark Sword Beastmaster
- Wizards of the Coast Neblin, Gnome Illusionist
- A couple of vintage Warhammer barbarians
- Dark Sword Hawkman (for the Custom Hobby Hawkman Challenge)
- Black Scorpion Mad Hatter (for my challenge with Alrith72 on the Forum of Doom)
Update -- the Wizard is Done!
I've finally finished the Hireling Wizard. He's a riot of color. Somehow, I feel that something is missing, but he'll do for now. I'm looking foward to more sculpts by Mike Thorpe! I'll post pictures tonight; I have to spray him down with dullcote.
Big experiment, bah!
The zenithal primer experiment was a miserable failure; all of those models are in the stripping jar!! :lunk
