Whew! 10 mechs doesn't sound like much, but for me to get 10 of anything painted in a consistent manner is a near impossibility. Indeed, the 10 mechs for Dana's Night Watch mercenaries equals the number of painted models I have for my Marik Militia force of 8 mechs and 2 tanks.

Whilst his color scheme was relatively simple to paint, I can assure you that you won't be seeing anything on either of my blogs being painted in a red and black color combo for the foreseeable future! Now I can instead focus on my own minis again. Speaking of, my TBAGers have all been primed (or re-primed in the case of my previously painted Awesome), and they will be at the top of my Battletech painting queue.

As for the Night's Watch, this was an interesting experiment. I'm not sure if I want to delve any further into the commission painting field or not, especially as my own hobbying suffers heavily for it. Also, if real life (TM) interferes with my hobbying well...so what? I can deal (begrudgingly), but it adds a weight of guilt as I couldn't meet the deadline of my client as a result. Luckily for me Dana's yet to even mention much less complain about my tardiness.
I'll be mailing these out via a USPS 'dropship' tomorrow, and am hoping that they'll survive both the ungodly heat and the postal service's total lack of TLC whilst they're in transit.
They did come out very nicely, but the way you've written about it during the process, it really sounds like commission painting is not for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you and yes, I think you're right. Dana's an old friend of mine, like family really-so I couldn't turn him down. That said I don't think I'll go hunting for any more commission jobs (in fact he came to me in this case).
