I don't think you messed this up at all. Looks pretty fantastic in the shots!

 

I am not dead I swear!

Got to work on my first model in awhile, little rough, but should do the job with a little more tlc and armature wire for the top, it might even look like a realmshaper engine!

 

Nice work on that terrain piece!

 

Just came across this. Really like the method for painting gold! It looks a lot more "real" with a bit of wear and tear than the regular gold method. I'll be using this for my Bastiladon as well in a few months!

 

I am glad you like it!

 

Soooo, I have been busy lately and have shamefully had to put hobbies on hold.

I did have a spot of time to splap together and convert some warriors into guard one night. I even got a quick mock up of the color scheme even though I am changing it up almost immediately



Very rough draft, but I will probably use the same colors for the skin but change over to a dark dark blue or black for the scales.

 

And a quick WIP of the one of the projects keeping me from hobbying right now...

 

Aww that's a shame - I kinda like the rainbow Temple guard look new scheme sounds cool though!

lets see here .... yep I count at least 3 colours! Congratulations, this wall is tournament legal and tabletop ready

 

Agreed! I really wanted for them to pop like Mardi Gras in Rio, and I am still hoping to get some of that effect out of it, buuut the eyes wander a bit too much when you look at the model. I will probably need sketch up a few drafts before I throw paint on anything, aaand I will definitely have the color scheme return on vanilla saurus warriors if I don't use it on the guard

 

That is some nice purple!

 

Great work on these, do you care to eleborate on the converting?
What bits did you use/add to make them?

Thanks in advance

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Had a recent push to work on my happy little dinosaurs. Most is still WIP at this point.

 

Also tried my hand at speed painting, got as far as I could with this Basti in a single sitting.

 

And I finally found a metal Slann on ebay! Don't ask me why I wanted it to be metal. I'll post the palanquin when I get a little further on it.

 

Wow, that is really nice colour scheme! I can´t wait to see it finished.

 

Amazing color scheme on that slann; awesome how you made all those colors work on the same model!

 

Great work and I particularly love what you did with the metal Slann.

 

Made some progress on the palanquin last night!

 

Soooooo, I hot glued the palanquin to a jar as a grip, aaaaand it popped off and fell onto the floor.

Fortunately I have foam matts on the floor around my workspace, but it still took a bit to glue it back together and repaint the damaged spots. I will never underestimate the weight of a metal model again! Still made some progress, and I even discovered the fact that there is a fricken skull hiding in the side of it!

Just need to paint all the critters now and decide if it needs any gold filigree. Oh and the tusks! This might still be awhile.

 

A have only one advice: Poster putty for you, my friend

Seriously, I use it even to transport models home and while my tin can bounces in my car, models are solid rock. Plus it is reusable, I´ve had three packages mixed together to single ball from which I nibble away when I need to hold models during painting and I use them for last 4 years.
