jonahmaul Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Life is distracting me! I need to get the leftovers from my Month 1 done and do Month 2 stuff (and paint my entry to the AWP monthly challenge, and then get back to painting Ressers for a tournament ...).

Furio Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 So far I've assembled one of the three minis I have to paint, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insidiously Mad Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 It was looking like a breeze for me for this month but then I got told I'm gonna spend a huge chunk of the next two weeks away on business. And my time in between those trips I am moving out of my current place. Also have a tournament in there somewhere... Month 2 is gonna be tougher to finish than I thought..

docbungle Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Is it cheating to start Month 3 models already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psientologist Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Not really but kind of not in the spirit. Then again, I haven't picked what I'm painting for month 2 yet but have painted lots of things that could've counted Want to actually go down the Outcast route with Misaki, though I've painted at least 7 Thunder models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docbungle Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I have been working on tara crew as well technically only cost me £15 with bits i have used although oodles of GS :S Misaki never worked for me in 10T for some reason. May try outcasts with her at some point or she will be the lost master.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psientologist Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Month 2 will be a very minimal month for me I think. Looks like I may only do one model now, but a lot next month. I could use Toshiro, Killjoy and many other things I've painted this month but it's not what I envisioned for my personal ToMB more just a nice coincidence that I have painted things that could fit. Still over a week though so this may all change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Well I've finished month 2, but month 3 is going to be interesting. Either i finally buy some summons for McMourning, or i get some heavy hitters in the form of a rogue necro and/or Shikome. Then there's the minor issue of running low on rootbeer bases. I'm going to need a few more before this challenge is done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docbungle Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Never sure about the transparents. I am a messy painter be terrified of messing them up even with masking... yours look cool as always though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Never sure about the transparents. I am a messy painter be terrified of messing them up even with masking... yours look cool as always though I just used sticky tape to mask the based when undercoating and then was very carful when actually painting the model. I did make some mistakes, but the paint scrapes off easily enough with a hobby knife. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insidiously Mad Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Finally uploaded a battle report from my first game with the #TOMB2 crew. http://abnormalifaux.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/tomb2-month-2-finally-game.html Should have my painted month two models up in a post on Monday, just gotta finish some touchups/basing. Then on to Nekima... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas the Beard Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I finally got around to posting about my month two. Waldgeists, a Performer, and a Nurse join my Zoraida crew. http://paintedguys.com/blog/2015/04/02/tomb2-month-two-complete/ Hopefully I'll post about the games I've played before I completely forget them...

Psientologist Posted April 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Tomorrow is hand in day. I actually need to get some photos done myself. @Groke How have you done those awesome spinning pictures? Great work from everyone so far. Might write a bonus blog up doing what I originally said and highlight a bit of everyone's work. Might write an article for Chronicles and see if Aaron likes it.

Lucas the Beard Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 @Groke How have you done those awesome spinning pictures? That deserves a post in itself, but the short version is that I use an arduino microcontroller with a stepper motor and an IR emitter. I use the stepper motor to turn the model 1/48th of a turn, then use the IR emitter to trigger the camera, and loop for 48 times. Make sure the camera is on a tripod and on full manual, otherwise you'll get flicker as it auto-chooses slightly different settings each frame. Then I batch-process it to apply the same cropping and color adjustment to each frame. Finally, I toss it a blog post with some custom javascript to do the actual spinning. I'm not entirely satisfied yet. The lighting isn't right, which is why the backdrop is grey. I've intended to play with some laser cutting to make the rotation platform -- right now it's just a 30mm base hot-glued to the gear at the end of the motor shaft, and held in a vise. Then the actual subject gets blue tacked to the base. That makes it hard to center anything except 30mm, and unsuitable for anything bigger than about 50mm.

jonahmaul Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Totally going to miss the deadline I think Got one model painted but unless I knock out some traps and count them it's going to be nigh on impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docbungle Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Like a boss finishing month 2 no deadline worry at all https://minimusingofabear.wordpress.com/2015/04/06/tomb2-month-2-bishop/ But alas not as many games this month. Onwards to shooty month 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insidiously Mad Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Finished my month two without worry in the end. http://abnormalifaux.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/tomb2-month-2-painted-models.html Getting my second game with Zoraida tonight finally.

Psientologist Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Totally going to miss the deadline I think Got one model painted but unless I knock out some traps and count them it's going to be nigh on impossible. Missing the deadline isn't game over. Originally I said that there would be a forfeit and I vote that for every day you miss the deadline by (a day's leeway is fine) you need to donate £1 to WAAC This means that a charity benefits from it and it shouldn't bankrupt you.
