I'll get the colours all down and prob the transfers and basic highlights but I'm leaving the faces until the muse takes me as it's going to be a lot of fine details.

Pretty much what James said I think.
"if you think you could call it finished" will do as a vague guideline, even if you intend to later go back and do more finishing.

No oathbreaker me! I managed to finish two models actually, but only pledged this one.

Love the freehand hexagonal pattern on the shield

Proud to become an oath breaker this month

This is awesome! What did you use for the shield?

If you were to finish tonight you still have a couple of days to let oils dry and take photos

Thanks, @laam999 and @pawl! The shield is a bit of sprue for the handle, cut and sanded in shape, and a bit of a tube from my dwindling greenstuff supply. Found out by coincidence that it had the exact diameter I made the handle, so scavenged a bit. Painted it with a watered down blue, many times, to get a blue tint to it. And freehand hexagons... Not perfect, but -as we say in the business- good enough!

I'll call 8/9 of my robots done, they need a little highlighting, the faces and to be weathered, but that will all keep, they're a nice tabletop level for now.

I'm currently building 8 Ironstrider/Dragoons.

I'm unlikely to finish these within a month but I'd like them done by end of April so I'll aim for this month. I'll post a pic of their current state when I'm back home tomorrow (almost fully build and just need arms/heads/guns magnetising).

I want to paint a GSC Goliath next but unsure I could do it in a month especially as I have a visitor coming for a week. Can I take a 2 month oath on it?

If that's an option that's my choice for the dragoons/ironstriders too, I'm going to get to see a lot more of my daughter from next week so I have less time and need the distraction less. Still aiming to have them done by April 23rd tho.

If you think that's a reasonable amount of time then of course you can!

As above Although you obviously don't need to pledge multiple models, either.
(edit: have you posted the final photo for this month? If not there's still 26 hours to get it in!)


So I called the space skeleton 'done' a couple of nights ago. You can read all my excuses as to the low-quality finish (and the teal lighting) here, but I learned rather a lot while painting him and I'm a big step closer to getting my final workflow for the scheme. =]
