The MPC is dead, long live the MPC.....
With a slight difference - this is an egoMPC, that is, a challenge to myself to get one model a month done. Any model. If I am to get my models complete before I die, barring incidents I need to live to at least 485 if I am to paint at the rate of a model a month. So I'm launching a challenge to myself, which will of course be tied to my other attempts to get cracking, namely the Warhound Project and the 2011 challenge.

Sigh, good luck me.

December.

I should paint an Epicomp entry (so I can't show pics, of course) (snigger!), but I only have 24 hours left.....!

I did it!
I did it!
I completed 2 models (Skaven) and constructed and painted up an entirely new one - ok, it's a bit of scenery, still, it counts, right? It's even Epic, see?

(by the way, that's an old Whirlwind conversion I painted up in plain old L-4 school colours for my Red Giant SMs)

Anyway, that's December wrapped up. On to January! When I should start on my Project Warhound units....!

Me too L-4 - or until my hands start shaking so much I can't hit the paint pot with the brush :)

I'd be happy to get one/five if that were to happen :)

Thanks guys :)

Ingredients:
1 plastic electrical installation round connector cover (or any bit of round plastic!) (the base)
1 part of a recyclable egg carton (the monolith itself)
2 keys from an old keyboard (the small structures on either side of the monolith).

Been ages since I touched a paintbrush, and it's nice to be back. Especially with something made from rubbish :)

A couple of lazy, cheap proxies for the Tau: the Lamprey, precursor to the Devilfish, in Epic scale only:

Until you said that I hadn't realised what they were. Brilliant proxies.
