Happy Thanksgiving y’all! I always take time today to be thankful for friends and family, and being so blessed to be part of this great hobby community!
I’m also thankful for all our great readers being here to share it with me as well! Once again the big question is what projects were you working on last year around this time, and what are you working on now?
This year has been a bit slow on the hobby front for me as I have been focusing more on helping manufacturers and retailers gain in these challenging times.
Recently I painted this Deadpool Miniature for Marvel Crisis Protocol with the new Army Painter Speed Paints. Not too bad for under an hour I think!
Once the full line of speed paints hit I should be able to paint up the rest of my MCP minis pretty fast using this dope pre shade recipe I came up with!
Last year I finished up loyal Iron Warriors Impulsor around Thanksgiving.

In 2019 I had put the finishing touches on the Octo-Baneblade, and fully magnetized the Warbringer Titan (weapon power feeds too).
Here’s what I finished painting in 2018, a Telemon Dreadnought!
In 2017 I had just finished up a Carnasaur on stream for the launch of Total War Warhammer II.
In 2016 I had just finished up this fun Ogor Frostlord:
Happy Thanksgiving y’all enjoy the day!
What are were you working on at last year’s break, and now?
