True! Which is why I had the inlaws buy it for me for Christmas.
Roughly. The figure does not come with a base. I cut one out of bass wood.
Layers of two-part epoxy over a textured streambed.

Ah, cool. I've been experimenting with floor finishes for water effects trying to find a balance between cost, easy of use, cost, durability and cost.
Here is a recent experiment with a pathfinder prepainted gug. Popped off the base, flipped the base, dremeled some texture on, painted some colour contrasts and then good ol' Future Floor finish.
Edit:
Got any suggestions for covering that boob window? Reaper bits, jewelry findings, etc.?

I've thought about this and I do not have a brilliant suggestion. I probably would just paint it as a blouse as there is clear separation between this area and the armor.
I am still painting. Struggling through with a large group of crossbowmen right now. Once I finish those I'll paint something more interesting.

My 10-year old son Stevie has been running some of the retro-clone Labyrinth Lord. He was asking if I could get hime some Master Maze. I said I would make him some. So I grabbed some Hirst Arts blocks and whipped him up a small set. A good small project for one of our many snow days here in the midwest of the U.S.
I also finally finished the 32 crossbowmen I was working on. I made some custom movement trays for the figures too.
Next up are a couple of night goblin fanatics and a group of Mercs for a commission.

Thanks for continuing with all the great posts and pics!
Did you scratch build those trays or customize some from a regular manufacturer? When you get the chance, an you add some details on your process either way? Thanks in advance!
Thanks!
These are GW trays. I customized it by priming it black and then I put white glue on the edges and covered it in sand. I then inked the sand dark brown and drybrushed with a couple of lighter browns. I superglued a bit of turf on the edges and that's it. Super easy - just like basing figures.

A lame update:
I am hip-deep in football season right now, but I have a cool project to share with you this winter. I also purchased a lot of new paints and models over the summer that I plan to bust out after the playoffs in late November.
I finished up those mercs some time ago - but I have a couple more squads to paint.
It's amazing how old this thread is - when I started it my oldest was a toddler - now he is playing for me. Wow!

So I just went through this entire thread. It's interesting to see the progression in your quality of work.
What an awesome idea for a thread!

I have been mostly working on some mundane terrain, but I have managed to paint a few figures. First up are a couple of gobbos:
Next up is a Reaper Bone figure that I painted for my son's old school D&D campaign - it's my cleric, Herodotus:
Finally, I hesitated to show you this last figure, because frankly it is a disaster. The paint is too thick, and it is a great example of how even a solid painter can really screw up a nice figure. I don't ever strip figures - I just finish it and throw it in the gaming cabinet. I may purchase it again in the future and try again. Oh well, at least it has paint on it...
