As the worlds slowest painter, I am looking to paint two FoW Waffen SS platoons, 5 transport trucks ( probably 251Cs), 5 panthers, 10 panzers IVs, 5 StuGs and 2 PaK40 with crew.

And I'm backing Ruffian here too!

Finally, Cain - congrats to you and the wife!

@berger15 - I'm probably the world's second slowest.
Here's a suggestion.
Pick a part of your paint workload, say for example the 5 panthers.
Enter the next AoS painting competition.
It will make you work towards getting them done, and you will be focusing on one small job instead of an army of unpainted models.
In no time you'll look at the shelf to find the entire force is done!

Sounds like a plan Timewizard. I'll give that a go next time round!

meanwhile, those termagants (for the competition)are done and an ebay rescue zoanthrope is being spray undercoated at this moment.

ebay rescue 4th ed metal lictor turned up this morning. As correctly deduced from the slightly fuzzy picture and caked on paint, its actually the limited edition army boxset lictor model. Picked up for 2/3rds the cost of a GW finecrap standard model too. :)

Thanks for the kind comments folks :) Jacqueline and Marcus are home and safe now. My eldest son Leon isn't quite sure what to make of it all, lol. But I'm sure he'll be fine.

Yeah, definitely a work in progress, but my wife said she should enter him into the AoS competition, but I said no because I want a shot at winning, lol.

Yes he could be a 1/8 Churchill, lol. But I though he looked more like Don S. Davis (aka General Hamond from SG1)

Thank you again guys :)

Tell her she's too late to enter him. We need to see the unfinished model first and it should be completed within one month! :lol:
