Can't paint for toffee at the moment. Don't know what it is. Either pushing myself too hard or not enough, after Golden Demon I was so pleased with myself but now I feel like everything I touch turns to cack. Currently still working on that bloody land speeder, but put it aside thinking that was why I wasn't enjoying painting. Tried working on Scipio, and next years duel, but neither seem to have done anything for me. Maybe time for a break.

Quick update with some new pictures. Ross lent me his light kit and Wiggy loaned me his camera (again!) so I could take some better quality shots. They say photography is half of this hobby, and as much as I agree it always frustrates me that I have never managed to master it. I'm not able to produce high quality photography of my models, and thus never manage to put them out for decent critique somewhere like CMON, or Platoon Britannica. I've tried, over the years to get the hang of it. My dad is a decent photographer, and he has tried numbers times to show me the ways of the exposure and macro feature to no avail. One day maybe, till then I try to get the most out of point and click aids and lighting fixtures help immmmmmensley.

Updates
Just a quick line drop - been busy and havn't managed to finish much of late. F1 GP at the weekends, (well done Jenson Button!) Tend to meen I don't have much time to paint! I have finished one thing, and made great progress on others. Skaven Asassin, Sneek Quikbyte. He is for my upcoming skaven army that will begin when the new army book is released. I have a box of clanrats, the book, and the beautiful Queek Headtaker model on pre-order. (edit - updated with hopefully better quality picture thanks to a borrowed camera and light kit) I have also made progress with the land speeder storm, including weathering and detail work. I will post more pictures later. I have no confidence in this camera being enough to show it to a good standard!
