Yes, and you did a fantastic job with your Gremlins. An interesting point to discuss about, as regard Scibor face bases, concerns the best way to paint them. Guess that the spots where the stone is broken, as the nose base, should be clearer than the stone surface. Indeed, I went after a lazy option, using a darker wash and a bit of highlight with my base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Thanks for checking in, Franchute! The current status of my two pledged models are: 1 beast done (see photo) and 1 beast almost done (War Pig). I will post the total SS when I post the War Pig image, which I guess will happen in the next few days. Cheers. I know---join lines. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Well, once I sat down to take the photo of the first model, I figured I may as well stay there and finish up my War Pig. Egad, gremlins are tiny! Don't know how people painting them all the time stay sane. Here is the second of my two pledged beasts for February. Corrupted hound (3 SS) + War pig (9 SS) = 12 SS Just the minimum, but I did also paint up a gang of 10 Necromunda models so couldn't over-do it. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4ml3t Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 @prof_bycid I've played many games of Necromunda over the past couple of decades. I'd love to see your new gang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scatterbrain Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I borrowed my girlfriend's computer to use MS Paint (I only use a Chromebook) and was able to resize some pics from this month. Here's Dr Douglas McMourning, primed and a WIP shot. 15 SS 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 @Franchute, apparently paiting tartan isn't as difficult as and is much more fun than I thought. All that is left to paint on my Stitched Together are NMM on the hooks, which means that I should be able to finish the miniature in time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RustAndTheCity Posted February 25, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Alright, Iron Skeeter is done for a total of 21 soulstones for this month. Crew to date is in the final picture below. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prof_bycid Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 11 hours ago, Scatterbrain said: and was able to resize Just in case folks are interested in options for resizing. I usually get my photos for posts down to about 150 kb fairly quickly. I use GIMP, which is free and open source. Works like a non-proprietary Photoshop. If interested: Fire up GIMP and open the photo. Image | Scale Image: to reduce the size and dpi: you won't see a difference with most monitors anyway. I scale to 200 by 200 dpi, and 1600 x 1200 size (dpi is really meaningless, it's the number of pixels in the image that matters). Tools | Transformation | Crop: to crop to the mini. File | Export As: to save as a jpg or other format. Just using 'save as' will save it as a GIMP file with all the associated settings. I export a jpg and then close down without saving the gimp. Hope this helps a few people. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustAndTheCity Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 @bedjy very nice work. I really like the bottles especially. Very realistic looking glass!

I was worried I'd break one while painting it. I've got the bases magnetized for transport. The skeeter was in my crew in a small henchman hardcore event last night (McTavish, Francois, skeeter and a bayou gremlin). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last month I broke a leg of the Scorpious while I was drybrushing it. On the other hand I already received some components badly broken from the sellers. Wydr has a very good support service but I have to wait a couple of months each time to get replacement components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkyMuddFace Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Pledge complete with a day to spare! The Iron Zombies - Student of Viscera (7SS), Student of Steel (6SS), and Student of Sinew (6SS). Draugr - the beardy LE model! (8 SS) That's a total of 27 SS of models painted for the month. What's on the docket for March? Probably more dead things - Doxies and Autopsies. Horror Molly has so many hiring and summoning options! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyfist Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 @Franchute Hi guys! This month haven't been nice to me and I haven't had anytime for the hobby, Barytone Lola is still half finished and Mercury is primed, but that is as far as I got. I'm moving to a new apartment during next month but I hope I will be able to spend at least enogh time to finish what I've started. Guess this counts as a mulligan and hope to be more active soon! What I've seen you guys have been excellent this month and this thread is full of amazing work! Keep up the good work! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
