Ettin
It's taken a while, but I finally finished this miniature. I took my time on this figure. My campaign is on hiatus, so I have slowed down my painting - unfortunately. I usually paint more and faster when I have a "need" for the particular miniatures.
This is a Reaper Ettin. It is the metal version. It has a ton of details, but was a lot of fun to paint.
I guess the advantage of not having a pressing game is I can paint what I want. Now, I just need to figure out what to paint next.

Though, after painting this guy (great paint job BTW), I foresee an ettin encounter cropping up in your players' future

Thanks and true!
The rocks on the base were sculpted from kneadatite - inspired by your bases!

Fantastic ettin! I love the fish. Great looking base too.

Having a pressing need is a boon and a curse. I've painted more models this year than the 5 prior. But they were all ww2 infantry models and I'm getting burned out after 70+ figures along with vehicles, arty, etc. I'm itching to move to something else but I need more for a campaign so here comes another 10 or so late war US infantry. One day I will start my Saga vikings and the Dark Young model I bought! One day...

Thanks very much!

These days I find it very tough to do multiples of similar figures. WWII Americans sounds like a slog to me too.

It is, but assembly line painting helps and when you have others in your group pushing you by constantly coming with more nicely painted models you don't want to be the chump with a bunch of bare plastic on the table. People will bring armies in progress but everyone is actively painting their stuff which is great.
My D&D group always expected me to provide all the models and stuff and I got tired of that so I've stopped bringing any of my painted figures to games but I"m not DM'ing right now so I figured the other DM's want to have that for their games head to the store. They go on about how its so much better with miniatures yet none of them have brought a single fig, even pre-paints. So I've moved all my effort to my wargaming stuff since I have a very active group that is as into this part of the hobby as me.

3D Printed Viking House
A friend of mine printed this for me. I did not do a great job painting it, but it is certainly good enough for tabletop standard. I learned a lot in the process - for example: inks do not work great on this surface. Good thing too, because he just gave me another house and two viking long ships to paint!
Sorry for the small pictures - took photos with my phone.

Molly Sprocket - Gnome Airship Captain
In the 5e campaign I play in we have a huge airship and our captain is a gnome called Molly Sprocket. We named our ship after this NPC - Molly's Folly. I was cruising the Stonehaven Miniatures site and came across a gnome pirate - Perfect! I ordered the mini and was shocked by how small she is - I mean this miniature is tiny! I finally painted her up and will reveal her to my fellow players and DM at our game tomorrow.
