With my sporadic painting time at the moment, as well as trying to get some model painting in, I've also started using up a large collection of Ice-cream sticks by painting them. For what? Not entirely sure at the moment; they may find themselves on the shop as just strange micro-art pieces, but you could use them as thick bookmarks? ... okay maybe not. They may look a little better in box frames too. Hmmm - Anyway, this is a quickie post to show them off. I still need to finish the lower areas, but they're pretty much done. I decided to keep them fairly simple, and go for generic fantasy types: Wizard/Mage, Elf, Cyborg, and Lovecraftian creature ... Have a few ideas for others, but for now this is just a sideline while still painting from a suitcase!

Well, still in the throes of dealing with the consequences of an underfloor leak, I have managed to do a little bit of painting - albeit from a less-than-ideal mock up. My paints and main equipment being at hand in a suitable carry case, but still; less than perfect. Anyway, a VERY short update post on what I have done: some skin tone on a figure that has been in suspended animation for years now ... a Zombie-killer called Krystal (I think!). As of writing this out, I can't remember the maker, but I don't think they are still about, sadly, as I painted the original version and loved it, so purchased a second with a plan to convert/mod her to look like 2000AD's Venus Bluegenes. But, she fell by the wayside, and found herself in the box-of-assorted-random-stuff until now, when - in need of keeping my eye in with painting - dug her out and did some tidy-up and painting, but now for a different look. Yup; rather than Venus, I decided on a more general futuristic warrior look. N...
