Frrom MartijnN: I'm out (5 points)

Well, I have been vaccinated. As a matter of fact almost two weeks ago, and I have been struggling to get some painting done. As a typical Belgian autumn has suddenly turned into a typical Belgian tropical summer my painting mojo has slipped below the horizon, however, so the planned out-with-a-bang post has turned into a rather disappointing sizzle.

Still, I have this rather interesting figure for you, advertised as a Fly Trap. I'm not sure yet whether is a plant or an animal, it has a bit of both. It is once again from the Scourge of Valtan Forest Kickstarter. I painted it using Citadel Contrast and Scale75 Instant Colours. 




So there we are. As it is technically a 28mm figure I will award myself 5 points for it, which brings my total of the Vaccination Challenge to 276 points. Not as much as I would have liked, but still mildly satisfying.

Obviously, I will keep following the Vaccination Challenge. Thanks to all who looked at my posts and commented on them; much appreciated! I hope that numbers in the Vaccination Challenge may dwindle swiftly as we all get our vaccines. I look forward to seeing you all again at the end of the year in the "proper" Challenge! As much fun as the Vaccination Challenge has been, I would rather that it be a one-time experience. Take care!

  1. Congrats on punching out Martijn. I’ve been enjoying your printing and painting output this spring. Definitely an Audrey II vibe to this one..

  2. Cool mini, I wouldn't want to be a fly with something like that around.

  3. Terrific news that you've received your first vaccination - that must be a great relief.

    That is a very fun mini, Martijn. I can't help but think of the scene (and song) for 'Feed Me Seymour' from 'A Little Shop of Horrors'. :)

  4. I can sympathise regarding the lack of mojo for painting it's the same for me, that coupled with work. Enough about that: the figure is really cool and it's good to hear you're vaccinated too!
