Moavoamoatu

yes, a few months ago and you can find it in english too.

After the fortress I made a modular boardgame for Okko the game. Here are some photos but you could find many more here : http://hazgaard.forumpro.fr/vos-creations-f18/plateau-3d-modulable-termine-t523.htm#7993

It looks great.

We will learn, not you

Now I understand how you built your elevator for your wargame terrain. Did you use a "shrinking potion" ????

We used to have different extruded polystyrene in France: orange (a bit "sandy"), green (high density) and now I can only find yellow one which is very high density. I didn't use much wall joint (in fact the thing you use before applying paint on walls to get a flat surface) on it as I didn't want it to be too heavy (I had to mask some cuts only and the joints betwwen polystyrene sheets). First I sand the polystyrene so it doesn't have a shiny surface (the paintjob is easier this way as long as you use brushes like me and not sprays or airbrushes). Then I melt it a little bit with a heater (I don't know the english name but it is used to scrap paint with heat). It gets a "stone" texture with this step and it hardens the polystyrene. Then you sand it a little again and you can paint it. All the rocks or tiles are scribed with a pen or a pencil (no knife at all except to sculpt large rocks). But if you have a look at my previous Alkemy temple I painted straight on polystyrene after drawing stones and sanding it.

I forgot to answer you : this is merely sculpted polystyrene (with a stone !!!)

Yes, 3 weeks (I know it because I posted photos on the Okko forum one day after I started). I didn't keep track of the time spent but I would say between 80 and 100 hours.

Merci. Environ 3 semaines (3 weeks...). You can find a tutorial on how I made it on the french Okko forum here : http://hazgaard.forumpro.fr/vos-creations-f18/decor-3d-le-fortin-du-col-de-betten-t482.htm

Thanks Ambrose. You will find such photos (inside and details) in the blog this evening. The roof is made with Plastruct spanish tiles in O scale. The floor tiles are homemade with balsa (all the wooden parts are balsa wood) and the stones are carved in Depron and extruded polystyrene. Those who read the Okko comics could find this fort in the 4th book. http://uk.comics.ign.com/objects/868/868039.html http://www.archaiasp.com/okko.php

I have been a bit silent on the forum these last weeks. I was busy with a new project. As I am playing Okko the boardgame, I decided to create a terrain for this game (far better than cardboard tiles to play with miniatures). Here is the result. You could find more photos on this blog (in a few hours as I have to update it) : http://unofficial-okkothegame.blogspot.com/

Iron Painter or Femme fatale, we'll have to make a difficult choice.

Welcome Het....he meant his friend Moavoamoatu...Yiu is my name on Okko and Alkemy forums....guess why...

Here we go : a cat, a dog, 3 fishes, a wife and.......a rat.

I like this one and you judge in one day, that would be fair.

You forgot rats !!!!!!

Happy birthday Nathan...joyeux anniversaire

It's really great in this colour. Excellent.

That's amazing. Where did you get the dolphins ?

And the rat will be back next time ....but with less miniatures to paint as I lost a lot of time in last IP with such entries. I was the one who posted the more miniatures in IP.

No, immunity for the IP5 finalists : they would compete in the semi-final with the best painters of previous rounds (in this way I could have some rest )

I wish I could be your opponent

I would be interesrted in another Iron Painter : IP6 - The Revenge of Moavoamoatu. I'm not feeling the urge to take part in one right now as I am too busy with other projects. Do we like the current incarnation? Yes that's perfect. What could be changed? I like it this way. Otherwise, you could stop pairing people and only the best scores would go further. That's good luck or bad luck when your opponent is not of the same painting level. Time length too short? Too Long? Just right? Far too long : 2 weeks to paint and 1 to judge it lasts 3 months. You could let one week for painters or have less rounds. What other things should we implement? See above. Are the themes too dorky? The themes are perfect and funny. Should we do something with teams? I join the team with naked girls...if there is one. What do you mean by "teams" ? How would you create them ? Prizes? Like last time or no prizes at all that's up to Nathan the Boss. Trophy? A trophy miniature would be fun and great (like Black Scorpion does). A Wyrd IP miniature looking like Supervike's avatar. Some sort of kickback to supervike? I prefer the whip. My 2 cents on IP.

It's fantastic. I really love the mettalic part which are really realistic. The base is great too. What did you use for it ? Congratulations mate.
