I bought a bunch of OOP GW Lizardmen(?), around 20+ years ago. I painted most of them several years ago. I had 20 left lingering in my Painting Queue, until a few days ago. I finished them, along with some other mini's. I've been slowly painting up 60mm Vikings figures to use as Frost Giants, for the past 15+ years. I finally got around to finishing the last of them. They're not the greatest sculpting, but they will work for my needs to run G2: Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl, with full, 3D terrain, and loads of mini's... I purchased a small paint roller set, and a large bottle of Apple Barrel White Craft Paint, to apply to some foam mats, as my ground terrain. I have all of the modular ice cavern sections painted. I had some mats done up, around 10 years ago, but the latex house paint peeled off. So, this time, I will use rubber mats that I know will hold craft paint, and I will use strictly craft paint -- no latex house paint! The figures' bases still need to be finished, but otherwise, they are table ready. The left Yeti is a D&D pre-paint figure; the Yeti on the right is a Reaper mini. I'll cover the winter creatures' bases with a white snow cover, to finish those off. Link to photo of them altogether.I also picked up some Reaper Winter Wolf figures to augment the Marx toy Winter Wolves I had already. The Reaper Winter Wolves were added to my collection, and my paint queue, just last year. All are done. Now I just need to paint up the rubber mats, and then it will be time to schedule the G2 game, using 1e AD&D RPG rules. This has been a dream of mine since my senior year in High School, circa 1982. Cheers!

Congratulations on finishing TWO long-term projects! [Early congratulations, but the mat-painting should go fast, right?]

It should. I will be using paint rollers, the type used to paint interior house walls. Did some more searching, last night: found more Frost Giants, at 90% completion, hiding in storage drawers. More fun! LOL! I am getting excited to finish this long-term project, and schedule the game... Cheers
