CAV Kickstarter WIP - Edster's

$

0
I decided to post a WIP on some of the vehicles I currently have on the table. After a few hours with my sons emptying all the bags and building the tanks I selected a reasonable batch to paint up.

These were then washed and straightened prior to being given an undercoat of grey primer. The model lines were cleaned up on a few, but given these are for tabletop use I am not too fussy with them as they are not too bad.

I continued with the earlier smaller batch of Terran vehicles at the moment I am doing batches of four models.

These were painted green, highlighted and then given a dark green wash to add depth prior to a final quick dry brush.

And finally with the window glass painted and highlighted.

As always comments welcome, not sure yet of the total numbers required for a game for these in CAV but will be using the models.

How to deal with 'frosting'

I sealed a figure last night with dullcoat, and it is 'frosted' white.

 

How does one fix this? Can it be fixed? Or do I utter quite a few bad words, toss it in Simple Green and start over?

Mi-Sher (Bones)(77217)

 I painted up Mi-Sher this week.  She is supposed to be wielding two swords, but I had borrowed her second sword a while back to use with my Chronomancer Apprentice, Sascha Dubois; and the figure had been sitting around my painting table off-handedly :ph34r:  until I realized recently that with just one sword she would make a good Thug for Frostgrave. So, I found a suitable replacement hand from my bits box of hard plastic figure parts, and after prepping the figure, I super-glued the hand in place.

  

   I did a standard table-top job on her, and used a 10mm figure, painted up and mounted like a fallen and broken statue, to decorate the base.  I'm generally happy with how the figure came out.  The pose may be a little awkward without the second sword, but I like to think it looks like she is signaling to a compatriot as she runs along, or perhaps preparing to climb a ruin.

 

As always, C & C welcome.

I have an offer through work for Rosetta Stone that expires today. Is a year subscription worth $140? Pros? Cons? Thoughts?

I wanted to go for something of a frozen look, as if he was in the middle of a blizzard.  I recently picked up a copy of the Frostgrave rulebook, so I may well use this one to lead a warband.

 

The photos aren't great, but hey ho.  Any and all feedback welcome, including any ways you think I might have done better.

Good picture reference for modern urban street dioramas

I just found a nice secondhand photography book which reminded me that if you are looking for visual references for city streets & alleys, the photography of Bob Thall is extraordinary.

It's mostly black-and-white, but he examines details of the urban environment that most other photographers gloss over.

Salute 2016 (Pic Heavy)

Yesterday I took a trip to London for Salute 2016.

Having blown a significant chunk of my meagre budget inside the first 30 minutes (it may have been unwise to visit the Hasslefree stand at an early stage of proceedings), I spent some time taking photos.

There are over 100 photos I have put into a gallery here, some shown below to whet your appetite.

Excelsy WIP

I feel a bit bad saying this, but since the Euro dropped in comparison to USD, I finally felt that it was worth it to splurge a bit on a mini I've always had my eyes on for a while:

jWb3976.jpg

The casting is absolutely amazing; no mold lines to speak of, square slots fit like a dream. Only gap I see is in the two parts of the cape; I'll need to fill that before doing much else. Only boo-boo was the sword crossguard was snapped off... but I hate bits that fiddly anyways, and I was on the fence about adding it in. Dilemma solved.

 

Assembled into all the major sections for now, need to think about what color the armor is going to be...

Finally got around to clearing one of the minis from my shelf of shame.  I can't believe how long it took to finish this mini.  Partly, this was due to a lack of painting time in recent weeks but I also think its because I wasn't particularly motivated to finish painting him.

 

I think part of the problem is that I struggle with painting white and black surfaces.  I've read some tutorials etc but I never seem able to put it into practice.  With that said, I'm actually fairly happy with the white shirt this time around (although I will put a bit more contrast in next time I paint white).

 

Regardless, this mini is now finished and I can go back to painting my Galaxy Defenders minis.

I've not posted anything here for the last month or so as I've been working on a commission, which I thought I would share here. ::):

 

The minis are from the past & present & are by various manufacturers.

 

I extended the integral metal bases out to the edge of the plastic rim with Milliput & did some light texturing on it, the Frost Giant has Army Painter snow flock on top. The Blight Lord's base was done using Basius's "Dungeon" stamp pad & green stuff.

All the information you need should be here.

Your challenge is: 4 - IF you did a fools guild miniatures, the challenge becomes 3 for this month as stated in March

Bonus Challenge:
Backwards: In honor of how absurdly stupid and backwards the weather has been lately - paint a miniature using your offhand only. You can still use your main hand to hold it and such, but all application of paint to miniature must be done with your non-dominant hand.
Extra Bonus Challenge:

The first modern olympics since ancient times were held in Athens, Greece, 1896. Bonus Challenge 2 is: Make all figures for the month into a diorama honoring the competition, ceremony or competition (winter or summer olympiad, your call)

I interrupt my other works in progress to bring you this special Project.

 

002.JPG 003.JPG 001.JPG

 

But George, those guys are already done, you are thinking....

And you would be right!

I painted these guys when I was in college, back in the early 90s, using the Polly S & Ral Partha AD&D Paint Lines...

And seem to have missed the fact that the guy with the 2 handed mace is wearing some sort of skull cap!

 

But now, I have 5 more! Thanks to another forumite that was going to use them as weight for the melt tables at R Con, he was kind enough to let me save them from the abyss...

 

004.JPG 005.JPG 006.JPG

007.JPG 008.JPG

 

So it will be fun to see what this group will look like, with all of the things I have learned from my fellow forumites in the last 9 months,and using Good brushes, a wet palette, Scale 75 paints, Reaper and Vallejo, and yes, Polly S AD&D 460 Goblin Flesh!

 

Come back and see when I get more than primer on them!

 

(They are also Goblin Flesh practice for the Infamy Goblin Chieftain on the Death Chicken....)

Infamy One Shot #1 (Hob)Goblin Chieftain

The Death Chicken Commences!

 

I had a little time tonight, so I continued with Infamy Mini's One Shot Goblin Chieftain.

 

First off, He is a big boy, so I am going to think of him as a Hobgoblin, instead of a goblin. (Sorry Buglips)

He will have Orange skin, as all my Hobgoblins do...

 

Secondly, this resin is very different from the other resin minis I have worked with, much softer and more flexible than the Forge World Iron Warriors Dreadnought I built, or Battlefront's resin vehicle bodies...

 

It is Fragile as Hades! Ias I was slowly sawing the chicken's lower jaw off the sprue with an X Acto saw, I broke one of the spikes where the reins attach....

5 minutes of unholy speech, and crawling around the floor rewarded me with the piece, which I carefully glued back into place...

 

I fear for the attachment of this figure to a base! 

The only point touching the ground is it's right foot, and the shape of it's ankle / foot /leg precludes driving a pin up the length of it's leg.

I may have to re-think that, and drill the hole anyway and hide the wire so I have a semi sturdy attachment point...

Thoughts ideas anyone?

 

As a temporary solution for painting, I drilled a hole in it's belly for a wire to support it whilst paint is applied...

 

Parts fit so far has been good, after removing sprue attachments etc. Left leg and Lower jaw...

 

Still lots to assemble, next will be the 'wings'...

 

This will definitely be a paint the rider separately job, and the way he attaches to the bird, he may get a wire for me to hide between his bum and the saddle, as the only attachment points there are the insides of his shins, and the straps of the reins....

 

Here is a scan of the Artwork that came with the KS:

The mini follows the art almost exactly...

 

And 2 pics of the Death Chicken so far:

Little bit of gap filling to do...

Unique figures

So the lovely Pumpkin Golem (that I didn't even know existed until yesterday) made me curious. I tried browsing the store, but starting from ground zero in terms of knowledge it's a completely daunting task. What I'd appreciate is some suggestions for minis available here in the Reaper store that are super unique, unusual, yes, even weird. I love the standard fantasy stuff, but that's not what I'm not interested in here. I'd like to get a look at what kinds of really cool things you've found that are currently buyable from Reaper. PLEASE don't show me awesome stuff I can't buy, this thread is for adding to my wishlist for Christmas :-)

I know it's difficult to choose one, but I'm thinking maybe your top three personal favorite weird things would be good. I appreciate any suggestions, thanks!
