prof_bycid Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hello fellow challenge painters! Here is my April task---the corephee duet nightmare edition. This one looks like a fun challenge. Mouse is my "not part of the challenge but the paint is out so go ahead and finish it already," model. Only had the base and his boots done for about 1/2 year now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 @Franchute - nice trick of light then, it seemed like amazing highlights in that picture Anyway, I know you'll be able to do this mini justice. I did paint Mr Graves before, using slightly different color scheme. You can see him here. @prof_bycid - good luck with the Coryphee. I haven't seen many of these painted so I look forward to seeing what you can come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks, Viruk! I got one of the flying monkey -- corephee pairs assembled last night. That in itself was adventure with lots of pieces to line up just right. It went together pretty well, though. Hopefully will get it ready for painting this week. I am hoping to magnetize so that they can start separate and come together into the duet---four models on one base, including the monkeys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedThunders Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 This challenge is giving me a problem I did not expect: now I am itching to paint more and more and don't want to get ahead of myself. I haven't even started Yamaziko, but may bench her in favor of some of the plastic Ten Thunders Brothers I got during the Easter sale, as they are some of the models I am really dying to get cracking on, and because the seam in Yamaziko's robe is pretty unsightly and I am presently out of putty to work it out. I apologize for the mercurial nature of my attention. As far as personal lives go, mine has been rather difficult lately and this has been a real pleasure and sort of therapy to keep coming back to. Another lovely side effect is I have been getting in a lot of games lately and my crews are actually painted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaiuri Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Once again, I've left myself very little time to get any painitng in on a large scale. The rest of the transparent Rasputina crew is calling to me, so I have been doing some thinking about how I'd like to paint the non-gamin/golem parts of this crew.

Icarius Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 So I began today! some time alone at last (again, sorry for the shitty picture) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I finally got my corephee duet assembled and based. The bases will be rough wood planking. The models are magnetized so that I can transfer them from single mode into the duet. I got the idea of cementing them to part of the base and magnetizing this from a recent post I saw on the forums, so once again, thanks for the idea, someone. I found that if you buy a pack of assorted plasticards, the thickest sheet matches the thickness of some small rare earth magnets, maybe 1/16? A 3 mm drill also makes a hole in the card perfect for gluing in these magnets. The same cement I am using on the models also works on plasticard, so this all came together rather well. Six days to paint! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 My daughter is supposed to be born tomorrow. I thought I have to finish Grimwell today otherwise I won't have time to do it before the end of the month. So, what did I do? I started another mini... Some WIP on the steam trunk: Edit: Almost there with the trunk. I still need to do the highlights on the metallic parts and the base. There is also a rope somewhere there: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 @Franchute - very nice work on the Trunk. I was in the same situation last year while working on my Iron Painter entries, my daughter was born May 16th Life's been different since then with less time for hobby (now I paint mainly at night when the baby's asleep) but life's been definitely better Best of luck and I hope everything goes well for your family. While working on Mr Graves I also painted this guy as the color scheme was similar. You can see more pictures here (the one with blue jacket had been painted earlier) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchute Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 @Viruk I love them. Which one is the green you use? It seems quite saturated. I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMK Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Finished with my April pledge. 3 Insidious Madnesses at 5 points per makes 15 total. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 @Viruk The cobbles in that base look great! The rest does as well, but really like those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 @Franchute - I used VGC Livery Green mixed with darker shades of green and then with a little white in it. Also, the glowing medium I applied in the final stage added a little to the saturated look. @RMK - nice job on these, I like the raw look, makes them appear even nastier @prof_bycid - the base is from Micro Art Studio, it's cast in resin and the quality is excellent, can't recommend this company enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prof_bycid Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Here is my April pledge for the painting challenge. The nightmare Coryphee Duet at 14 SS. This ended up being a real rush job---April has not been kind. But, I should have time in May to present something a bit more, ..., presentable. Cheers all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedThunders Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Here is my pledge for April. I did not manage to get any of the extra models done like I was hoping, but April turned out to be very personally difficult. Anyways, here they are. Not 100% happy with the Oiran, but it ain't bad for the first attempt at a pretty lady, and I really rushed the end of the month. Looking forward to doing the others, at least. Please forgive the bad lighting and blurry picture. My current setup makes taking pictures a chore. Loving everyone's work so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Nice yellow on the oiran. It's a hard colour to pull off so good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedThunders Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Thank you very much! I actually just primed her with Army Painter Daemonic Yellow, washed it with sepia, and kinda cleaned up from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I am going to have to use one of my muligans for April. The month had it in for me. That puts my score pretty low, but slow and steady wins the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Nice to see more people finishing their stuff. Isn't it time for new topic for May, @Vaiuri ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
