28mm work on my kitchen table/ I did promise my wife i wouldn't paint my Christmas way

 If I am honest with myself this is only  a very small amount of things i have started there are the box of maybe thirty roman cav another box of 40-50 roman infantry then there's the Russian lancers i've started and a heap of space marines and eldar im working on as well, does it ever end. and to top it off today i airbrushed the first coats fo japanese jungle fighters some more German paras and abot 60 German infantry and of course the models above are now all undercoated and first base coat on

My Son asked me if i can please paint this 40k Eldar Jetbike for him

When i got these figures off a mate the Eldar models were in pretty bad shape i had already fixed and painted the one in the background, so i pulled it to bit washed it undercoated it in black and then airbrushed  a few fine layers of red before doing the rest by brush, I drilled out the bottom of the craft where the stand is attached because it was far to lose, then using a garden watering system wee plastic plug that is used to fill a hole, i put a new hole drilled into it inserted this in and supper glued it this plastic will not wear so the stand should now stay firm.

 the shot below is obviously before attaching the top, 

28mm American paras

 Well here i am again it Christmas holidays and what do we do at holiday time, yes of course we paint so here's what two days sitting at the kitchen table looks like

 you might have noticed that some of the figures arn't actually paras but guess what i don't care they are now part of my para army 49 figures in all

 Next the mess that is my Mark IV first of i missed gluing a few bits on and now have lost them second i glued front hatches on around the wrong way how does that you might ask then as i took it out of the box to take photo i dropped it and damaged both paint and model on the other side oh well.
