Happy New Year!

It's been a while since my last post.  I started work again after a SWEET nine month parental leave so I've been slowing down the progress on miniatures a little (that and the holiday season created some hiccups in my productivity).

Been back at it now though!  My goal before 2014 was to finish my Pureblood Warpwolf I had been working on.  I did so with a few hours of 2013 left to spare!  I'll include some quick pictures of this model at the end of the post.

Something else I'd like to share is that I kept a tally of every single model I completed in 2013.  I want to start doing this every year so I can look back at how productive the year was and if I can beat my completed  model count for the next year.

Thats 159 models by my count.  Not too shabby!
... but I probably purchased more than I completed :(

The color of the scales were the biggest debate with this figure.  I'm glad I decided to paint them last so I could get a proper sense of the overall finished scheme before I committed to a scale color.

I've been practicing blending different basecolors together to eventually have a nice meld between two very different finish tones (in this case, white to tawny fur)

I love this sculpt and am glad I managed to acquire one.  Thanks Kiel for the great deal on these figures.
