Dreaming of Lock and Load – Spriggan WIP

I sat down this Saturday determined to make up for a few days of non-painting. Not counting Sunday, I have managed to maintain an average of an hour a day of painting. We’ll see if it turns out to be enough, or will I have to step it up?

The Spriggan (started here) got a bunch more work today, although a lot of it was metals in areas that will be covered or occluded by other parts of the model. I was listening to a bunch of podcasts while working (finished up Lost Hemisphere Radio ep 25 which I’d started at work on Friday, Extra Time MLS podcast, some Nerdist goodness and a couple of smodcast episodes). I must have been caught up in one of the Nerdist stories as I realised suddenly that I had been painting a wreck marker for ten minutes, without really meaning to. I didn’t know my subconscious had such a defeatist attitude! Who plans for their jacks to be destroyed? I have sentenced my subconscious to a gulag in Hellspass so that it may contemplate its failures. As punishment for not warning me when I wandered off track, I ripped off the spriggan’s shield to more easily paint the shoulder and arm. That’ll show him.There’s still a ways to go on the spriggan and I’m still considering what colours to use in some places, like the guard of the lance and the plates under the grenade launchers. But I feel like I’m making good progress. Click on the pictures below for full size versions.

Hopefully I’ll find time tomorrow to get a couple more hours in and finish the base coating. Thanks for stopping by!
