I have too much spare time on my hands - Slate Ridge Mauler

[Matthew.Carr]

As the title suggests, I have too much spare time and I recorded my work to get a Slate Ridge Mauler to be Winnie the Pooh for my 100 Acre Wood themed Marcus crew.

Pooh is the first model I've done for the crew (Like I could start with any other model...)

Finished compiling the video and slapped it on Youtube.

 

Here it is

Honey pot scheme markers ?

Great idea for the crew.  How will you do the other characters?

[Matthew.Carr]

I have an idea in mind for scheme markers... But I require some very expensive equipment and the knowledge to use it before I go forward

 

As for the remainder of the crew, so far:

Marcus: Christopher Robin

Myranda: Kanga

Jackalope: Roo

Sabetooth Cerberus: Tiggr

Razorspine Rattler: Dragon

 

Still not sure how I will do Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore or Sir Brian.

I vote Rogue Necromancy for Eeyore!!

Patchwork a-hoy!

[Matthew.Carr]

Seems legit!

I will have to see the model in person before I commit though.

Wow... September.

So I am incredibly slack (and being made Redundant didn't help) but I have actually completed Roo, Dragon & Christopher Robin now.

I didn't record my work on Roo for some reason (Most likely stupidity) but I did for Dragon & CR.

Have photos of Roo (obviously) and while I want to get cracking with the painting of Kanga and Tiggr, I have to wait for a new airbrush to arrive seeing as how I managed to destroy my cheap and nasty old one.

I had an idea for the videos going forward where I will use a Lazy Susan and rotate the model 360* between stages of painting so the video will show me painting *cough* at an unedited and perfectly natural pace *cough* and between stages there will be a regular speed rotation of the mini. At the end of the video I will reshow all the rotations (sped up a little) so you can see the progression as it happens.

Anyway, here's 2 more videos!

Figured I would also share a work in progress of the start of Kanga. Along with the picture I am working from.

Myranda is going to be mid shapeshift into Kanga.

I am an idiot.

The obvious one for Rabbit is Luther the Pascha Hare, as it is alt Blessed of December.  And the model looks pretty manic.  The blatantly obvious one for Owl is a Raptor, but that seems weak for such a character as Owl.  If you're up for sculpting it, maybe an owlbear model using the Arcane Emissary's rules.  An obvious choice for Eeyore would be Mechanical Rider, although I could see Cojo.  Flavor Mark Territory and Pound Chest and Howl to fit Eeyore, and you could use Cojo's rules.

 

[Matthew.Carr]

I thought that turning the Mechanical Rider (at least, the mount part. Ditch the rider itself in the conversion) would be the way to go.

 

I guess for Owl I could go with any model capable of flying and just do the appropriate conversion work.
