Hi all
Very little time to paint over the last couple of years (house move and renovations, kids, job, life... and Covid) but finally managed to pick up the brushes a bit more consistently last couple of months and decided to try a painting diary (again...).
Plenty of projects on the go mostly a mix of 10mm and GW stuff (i'm a sucker for the plastic crack they peddle).
On the desk at the mo I'm trying to finally make some progress on my 10mm Vietnam stuff and finish Brit forces for Quebec.
GW stuff at the mo are Underworlds warbands and the betrayal at calth box set which has laid undisturbed for a couple of years.
These are the bits and pieces finished most recently -
My Australian forces for Vietnam.
Small force at the moment consisting of 1 platoon infantry and 1 troop of centurions and a bridge layer.

Anyway hopefully it won't be months before I post again!
Nice work, they look great.
Fantastic!
Great detail and highlights on the 10mm
And lovely NMM on the GW stuff. (remembers all the WFB armies I had in the 90s - sigh)
Impressive indeed!
Masterclass painting.
Superb, Matt ! :-bd
Cheers - Phil. :)
Excellent Matt.
Can't wait for Nobby's reaction too...
Absolutely superb Matt 8). But I have no idea what the NMM technique means!
I think Nobby should be banned from viewing this on health grounds ;).
Those are great, really like the metal effects
Good stuff
Fantastic as always Matt!
Thanks guys!
Steve NMM is Non Metallic Metals ie getting a metal effect using normal paints not metallic paints.
Spectacular stuff, as ever!
Thanks for the clarification Matt :).
:-bd =D> :-bd =D>
Where are the Eskies on the Centurions ;)
Paul, mate, all my Aussie Cents have Eskies ;) You told me a couple of years ago it was essential :D
Stuff finished in the last few weeks -
More Vietnam stuff. Some M551 from the 11th armoured -

Great stuff, lovely work.
Do look rather good
Well after a pretty sh*tty 12 months I'm back (Covid, work, Covid, Parent deaths, pet deaths, etc etc), and also unable to post on the old forum for some bizarre reason :-\ back to some painting... Space marines! :D

Glad you're back, sorry for your various losses and other problems and, finally, those Space Marines are looking good!
Do the red ones go faster? :)
Welcome back Matt J :-h
Sorry to hear about the year you've had
Condolences sir.
Welcome back though
Welcome back Matt and sorry to hear that, I hope you're doing OK.
Very nice! They look great.
What rules are you using?
I was thinking of doing that project but they would be nowhere near as good as yours lol
Welcome back and sorry for your losses :( .
Hope tghings get better for you Matt
Thanks Guys!
Although to be fair I think there are folk out there who've had a much worse time (I just like to have a grump)

They are based for 'Charlie don't surf', although I confess I've never played the rules, but reading through I like the granularity. I was also thinking of saboting the bases for CWC.
(I'm assuming you're talking about the Vietnam stuff and not the Space Marines :) )
