    AMAZING work on the priest! Yeah, you definitely get one...:spiderman:!

    I think you should work on the Bastiladon if that is what you are wanting to do. Nothing gets me out of my "painting mode" than working on a particular piece when I'd rather be working on something else. That always makes me rush the job. You definitely need to take you time! For that reason, I say Bassy. BUT...if I am choosing solely off what I'd like to see, then I'd say the Carnosaur.

    Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to it!

    HAHAHHA! You are definatelly tight! I have been leaving the old carny waiting for a paint job a long time now! The reason is that I am not sure yet how the rider is going to be! I am not a big fan of the old Kro Gar.

    We will see maybe he will jump to the top of the list.

    I think you have an awesome point there... I will follow your advice! For the next proyect I am going to go with the one I want to paint more! I havent decided wich mini is going to be still... But I will soon post some updates.

    Very nice work. :):):):) What colours did you use to paint the brownish yellowish stone artifact on the front of the base?

    I like it... it turned out very well. It's a great alternative colour for stone.

    Haha, yes it was the same thing for me! It took me a while to get motivated to finish the skinks and howda! Its such a relief when you finish it.

    For the pictures what I did was use the back of my gaming mat as the the backgrownd, and than used the camara of my iphone to take the photos... I realized that the light helps a lot so I usually take them early on the morning or late in the afternoon when the sun is not too strong... Hope it helps

    Today is something different! :)

    I got tired of having to carry several cases to transport my army, and as I couldnt find a case that I liked.... I decided to build my own! And I am really pleased with the result...I left some free space for when I decide to compleate my army ( still dont hace the terradons, ripers, and troglodon :s)

    Hope you like it. And as allways comments are welcomed.

    Nice! I love it!

    I see that you have some carabiners attached to the front. How are you planning to carry it? Are you going to attach a shoulder strap to those hooks, or are those for attaching it to something?

    Also, where did you get those foam cut outs? Did you make them yourself or purchase them somewhere? They fit your trunk perfectly!

    Amazing Steg :spiderman:
    and incredibly sturdy looking carry case. :D

    Ps. I could be fancier, with a bit of dark stain and some brass box corners. ;)

    That's actually a good idea! My parents have a luggage hand truck like this and it works incredibly well!

    Hahah I guess the picture is a little misleading.... The case is actually a little bit smaller than a Carry on case, and it is made out of 5mm triplex so it is very light (actually lighter than the GW one.

    The carabiners are there only because I didnt want to have Locks all the time and have to carry keys everywere.. So I found they where a good solution to locking the box.

    Actually I am using the two habdles at the sides to carry the case, also the strap in the middle is design to be used as an other handle in case I want to carry it with one hand.

    I cut the foam myself using a long exacto knife, the trick is to always use new blades!

    Hahaha as I mentioned before it is really light actually lighter then the one I used to have also It is not as big as it looks, its the size of a carry on. So i am not sure if the wheels arw needed.

    As far as painting goes I will probably painted after I finish what I have left of my army! I really want to finish it.

    Thanks man!! Happy to hear it!

    Yeha that might be a good idea I actually looked for those but couldnt find then anyware!

    After drooling over your paint jobs, I vote for at least one side of your crate having the Mona Lisa painted on it, but with a Smiling Skink instead of Lisa! :cool:
