Any interest in 2023 edition of the STS Model Painting Month?

I posted the offer on that forum, and not a peep of interest. I don't know if I should invest the roughly $100 it would cost me buying the blank and shipping to me then the buyer, forget about time and paint invested. Maybe I'll just send her some money and paint the toy instead.

If you wanted to see those types of figures, here are a couple links that show most of the ones I've painted.

I’d love to join! The problem is I don’t know which figurine from my body box I’d pick! I have a one repaint started (it’s a Schleich dog, now basecoated with acrylics), I have to choose a new project to be fair?

I don't think anyone would mind if you used the already basecoated dog.

Would be great to have you, Katarzyna! : cheers:
Yes, you can start with a model primed or base coated beforehand

Well, I went ahead and ordered this sculpt [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to hopefully raise some money for my friend and her dog Liberty. I was thinking of a paint job loosely based on a harpy eagle. Would that be acceptable here? If not, I can use your idea, Ana; I can turn one of my Wing Mau puppies into a Beanlet. One of the Eyscota pups might work better though, hmm...

Either way I would love to see your windstone repaint Kelly. :)

I decided to start a new project instead. I feel pretty unmotivated with this dog so I’ll try something easier. I’ll be repainting a Schleich Bunny to European Rabbit. Today I want to give this figure a fresh primer coat and start prepping.

Yes, fantasy animals like this one are welcome It's very cute, and I like the idea of Harpy Eagle color inspiration!

When you are sure about your choice, you can post a photo of it in our BEFORE topic [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Should I update the announcement?

Yes, please!

Done!

I haven't decided yet, there's three options - one seems too easy and straightforward to be interesting enough, one far too difficult and over-challenging so I might fail part way, and one I'm just not in the right mood to tackle! Maybe I'll pick something else entirely by the end of the month to avoid all these problem projects

Since I haven't been painting seriously in over a year I have an entire tote full of "victims" to paint... I have too many choices and really need to narrow it down!

I haven't decided on a victim yet. But I do know that I want to try a new technique. Painting in oil paints that I will make myself from pigment and linseed oil. Experiments so far were very promising but I have yet to use it on a real project.

I won't be able to tackle it this year, but I can't wait to see everyone's work!

This afternoon I had a really good idea I'm very excited about, so that will be my project for model painting month! I just placed a little order for 'bodies' (there was 10% off for picking four from the same seller, so I just had to put more in the parcel ), and I already have the paint colours I'll need, so I can get started and join the other thread in a few days time. Avoid decision-making by painting something else entirely, that's me

I've decided what I will be doing, so I posted on the Before thread!

great to hear about everyone else getting into the spirit of it!


Kelly your dragons are Amazing! What a talent you have for them, as well as Tenderfoot the rooster
I hope everything goes well for Liberty and she makes a fast recovery.
