Aquila: Bronze Base

I got the base coat on all the bronze today. I need to shade and highlight the metals, and then it'll be the base. Should be able to finish him this week.

Aquila: Leather, Cloak done

 Finished up highlights on the leather and fur cloak. Also got a base coat on the blade of his sword.

Aquila: Leather, Cloak

Base coated and shaded the leather bits, and then since I had the color out anyway I put the base coat on his fur cloak. Next will be finishing those two parts. He's getting there.

Aquila: Blue Cloth & Linen

Finished the blue stuff on Aquila by adding highlights, and then did the linen on his forearms and lower legs. Leather straps next, I think. I still need to fix his eye. I forgot about it.

Aquila: Blue stuff

Got a start on the parts of Aquila that will be blue. These are base coated and shaded. I need to fix his left eye, I think.

14!

Finished the park today! It's not anything super special, but it was a nice little 'don't think about it real hard' kind of piece.


That will likely be it for things I get finished this year. It's possible I'll manage to squeeze in Aquila, but I'm not going to push for it.

I managed to hit my goal for this year (1 figure completed per month) plus a bit, so I'm happy with that. What about next year? Well, I think 2 figures a month, especially now that I'm doing more large scale stuff, might be too much to hop for. But I might be able to do one and a half. That'd be 18 figures next year. I think I will try for that. So, goals:

  1. 18 figures complete in 2025.
  2. 5 person squad for each faction I've got in Arena Rex. This is actually most of the way there; I've got 5 guys for something like 3 of the factions.
Everything else, I'm just going to paint what I feel like. I don't want to commit to a any more of a particular brand or size than I already have. I would like to do some more construction this year, either a building or a diorama. Not sure what exactly, we'll see.
