Poko Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Or rather the 1st model of it for now as the rest is in the mail (no more boxed sets left at the LGS, had to order blisters). The pic is pretty grainy I'm afraid, but shows the colour scheme. Let's just say I didn't want another boring military grey and silver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathnard Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 This probably goes without saying, but I approve of your choice of colors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondog Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hehe, pink. Actually it's a good looking choice of colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhay Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Looks brilliant. Great colour scheme and very unique! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drool_bucket Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 I really like it. Malifaux, imo, favors nice striking colors to bring out the Punk that has been left behind... looking forward to seeing more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTHATER Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Poko, Sigh.....I'm trying to assess if you want a critique or not. Oh well here we go, I hate it. Along with the color choices I can't stand your highlights are too strong and don't appear natural. On the gray areas the Lightest gray is highlighting right, or is it a Dark gray, Middle gray, Light gray como pattern? Is he/she standing on wet gravel? I think the knife handle should be gold and the blade the color it is. Well guess it's not for everyone. I respect your decision to not go the "boring military grey and silver" route, but feel you went to far "off the rails". There are many other color combinations that are more military like and less wild. Nighthater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhay Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I couldn't disagree with NIGHTHATER more, it is starting to seem like a common occurrence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poko Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Nighthater- I have no problem with getting critique, no feelings hurt. The model is indeed meant to stand on wet gravel/semi-muddy surface, so I'm happy that actually worked out. As for the grey on the armor/weapons it's intermediate with white highlight and black wash. Highlights in general are very thick cause it was to be a test model, but I liked the scheme enough to keep it. The next one will have more of the original colour showing under the highlight. As for choice of colours, can't help you there I'm finishing the 2nd one, and my librarian, specialist and trapper (whose rifle turned into a bagel in the transport..thanks god for soft metal) have been delivered. I just need the strongarm and actual Von Schill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyboy30672 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think the color choice is brilliant. Not only is it aesthetically interesting, it also helps in game terms; you can certainly pick out that model on a gaming table! It's rather considerate to both yourself and your opponent! And, let's face it... It's a fantasy game. If we really felt we HAD to paint things realistically and historically accurate, we'd have jobs creating dioramas for the National Historical Society (which my grandfather did, actually... heh). Even the photos are done well. Sure, a little small, maybe a tiny bit grainy, but definitely good enough for posting to the web. Some subtleties are invariably lost in the translation from the eye to the camera, but I think the model still stands on its own. I think the colors bring the model a sense of attitude, even... "Sure, you can see me coming. Good. That means I can see the abject horror in your eyes while I gut you." Well done! I can't wait to see the rest!

Poko Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 And "Von Shill" herself. Which may or may not be a particularily sneaky Doppelganger who got itself a bit of a cult on the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Well it brings a whole new meaning to Schill's "The Shirt Comes Off" upgrade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poko Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 And with the stand-in steam trunk (cause I ain't getting the plastic kit just for one model) and the mcfisty guy, the saga of bubblegum korps is complete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jotun Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 The little steam trunk standin looks cute Can't remember having seen that one before, may I ask what model it is? Also, cool idea with Ms. Von Schill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poko Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Ha, thanks. The little thing is from wolsung. Also kinda forgot there's one with a mirror, that'd fit even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Well done, they look very smart!I especially love the highlights on Von Schill - they work splendidly well. The ones on the dress and the parasol - super slick! Maybe a bit more depth to the shadows but I think that the pic washes them out a bit so it might be just that.One thing that you could consider still, would be to add some tufts of dead grass onto the bases - would liven them up very nicely. Something like the Army Painter Wasteland tufts or Highland tufts:http://shop.thearmypainter.com/products.php?ProductGroupId=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poko Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Now in trade forum. If you want a bunch of candy-coloured Freikorps, or want to save the poor models from said candy-coloured scheme, here's your chance! They'll be worth a fortune once I'm the king of all known space!
