Havent painted anything in ages so.....

[Perv]

anyone fancy a little contest?  Sick of Dwarfs for the moment so how about one of the Eldar Harlequins?  I've always wanted to paint one but known I could never do the job justice.  I am willing to give it a go as need a challenge but dont expect great results.  It will be an easy one sided contest so anyone wanting their pride given a little polish they should beat me easily  :icon_w00t:

i'd love too and i even have a shadowseer for converting up, but alas i have te not so small matter of a netherlord to paint before early october.

i'm sure matt will help you out!

[gi6ers]

lol, no thanks!

I'm on goblins and dwarves at the mo.

[Fabian]

I'd love to paint something but I ain't got no Harlies, sorry!

[Keeper]

I think I can manage an quick Harlequin :)  One of the old one or one of the new ones?  Or just any Harlequin?

[Perv]

cheers anyway guys, I know there are contests finishing next month so bad timing on my part.

I only have the old RoR boxed set but its complete so have a few to choose from Keeper, did you fancy doing the same model or different?  I am happy either way.

Fab I am happy to send u a Harlie but I'd need it back after to complete the box I'm afraid  :shrug:

[Custom_Hobby]

Go for it guys and just take as much time as you need. That would encourage more people to get in on the challenge.

[Keeper]

Lets just choose whichever of the old Harlequins takes our fancy :)

@Fabian:  If you want a Harlequin to paint, I've got a few to spare.  Feel free to choose one or two, and I'll see if I've got them to spare, if you want to join in, of course!

cool, I will pop a pic here when I have selected the right one  :occasion14:

I'll try to get mine done next week but take as long as you need mate, as Mike says it may give others the opportunity to join in.

[Medved]

well after i've got the big fella done i'd be happy to join in

[Jolly Bob]

I have a batch I'm working on - already painted the ol' Death Jester, quite a decent job IMHO but it may or may not be under your respective leagues... but yeah just cuz like my Ushabti they've been 'ill do them when I'm better' models I've needed an excuse to paint some.

If I fail horribly nothing lsot hmmm :)

[Keeper]

Hmmm ... if Fabian wasn't in it, and I don't remember seeing Jolly Bob's work before, this could turn into a "how horribly can you paint a harlequin competition" :D

Feel free to join in thoigh, Jolly Bob :D

Still, we can all aspire to this kind of standard (apologies if you're read this before):

lol could well be Keeper  :icon_w00t:  I cant believe that article, is that a joke?  I've finally found someone as inept as me at modelling !!!!  Crikey that bloke must have 2 thumbs and no fingers....

No rush Medved, whenever youre ready mate  :icon_wink:

I've decided on a death jester Jolly Bob, great minds and all that.  I too have left these for a while b4 painting as wanted to be better b4 started them.  Bought them in 1989 I think......  If we fail horribly then a quick soak in stripper removes all traces of embarassment mate  :icon_wink:

[Fabian]

Don't worry it is a joke, although after seeing some of the 'workshops' on TMP, one begins to wonder...

I haven't painted anything for months... well finished anything (yes Dave, the sorceress still hasn't been base-coated) the last things I finished were my Wood Elves for the Frothers game at Salute 07...  :icon_redface:

[Perv]

sometimes you need something to get the bug back.  I find looking at white dwarfs helps, the eavy metal paintings always seem to give me inspiration.

I thought it was a joke cos where it said carefully block in.  After seeing some Pro-Painted minis on Ebay I did wonder though too  :icon_w00t:
