I’ve finished the 4 Phoenix Armour modular kits, and the Pinup Lantern Festival mini. That’s 5 more minis finished. The druid bust is possibly done? I should probably go back and redo the flesh, but I probably won’t. I’m trying something on another bust. If it goes well I’ll revisit the druid. If it doesn’t, I’ll likely give up on bust level painting, at least for now. Pics to come later, once I’ve made a decision.
Since writing my list last time I’ve made some decisions and discoveries, and done some building.
- The Screaming God armour kits are modular after all (+4 modular, -4 normal)
- I had the Pinup Manhunterx2 on the list twice (-2 Luxury, -2 MTG)
- I’ve already built 1 of my modular leather armour guys, leaving 3, not 4 (-1 modular)
- There’s actually 5 guys on the White Lion sprue, not 4 (+1 Modular)
- It turns out Pinup Upside Down Survivor and Pinup Mountain Dungeon Armour are two different sculpts, and not the same one with different names, despite looking almost identical (+1 Normal, +1 MTG)
- I have built 5 Lion armour, 3 Leather armour, 2 Screaming Fur armour modular models (-10 modular, +10 normal)
- I have built the remaining models flagged previously as “Normal”
- I have also built Azure Fighter, Hospitalier, and Pinup Twilight Witch (-2 Modular, -1 Luxury, +3 normal)
- I accidentally ended up with 2 copies of Pinups of Death 5 and I’m preparing to list my spare on eBay. That’ll reduce my MTG by 11.
This should leave me 20 models built and awaiting basing then priming, and 2 WIP busts on my desk. I’ve also started playing Kingdom Death again and I’m on Lantern Year 7 of the Dream Keeper. I’m spending more time playing and less time painting, but that’s the goal. Catch up, relax, and enjoy.





















Lantern Festival Girl is definitely a favorite in my collection. I just need to get to painting now that I see it can be done if I just get off my butt. The army painting projects just stand in the way of that. Good job on getting yours finished.
She is a nice model. I could definitely see a painters scale version selling well. Or an idea I just had: Painters scale but with real LEDs in the lanterns so she can be used as a night light / bedside lamp.
Finishing all army projects does take a lot of work (and self control to not get more!), but it’s great when you’re finally on top of your collection and can slow down a little and focus on smaller projects. Mind you, I miss the simplicity of having a large project that I can switch off to, batch paint, and not worry about high detail or figuring out new colours or colour schemes. Just do what I’ve done for the last 50 models once again, but in a slightly different arrangement.
