Boomstick Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Moving to Indy towards the end of this month, so setting my painting bar low. Realistically, hoping to put finishing touches on my Tanuki x2 and Krampus. If I find unexpected time, finish work on Johana, then setting sights on Marcus, the Jackalope, and the Hodgepodge Effigy. Realistically, 21ss. Pie in the sky, 49ss. And if the most Daper of Lycanthropes, Ferdinand Vogel, actually hits shelves, I'll hope to paint him in a flurry of excitement. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amdor Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Thanks for the tips @Scatterbrain and @misterfinn. So far I've dreaded using NMM and high contrast highlights, but I guess it's time to give them a try. I didn't have anything fancy planned, just trying to make it match the box art with the same techniques I've used for my dawn serpent and ice gamins. Now, though, you've inspired me to try and make it a bit more... wyrd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H4ml3t Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Quick WIP pic of Baby Cade. Basically I need to finish the skin and haven't started the hair yet. He's small so it shouldn't take long to finish. Also, these crazy Arcanist models have invaded my Neverborn painting party and are demanding paint. We'll see what happens. (I'm excited to try their flames and try OSL) so they're distracting me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 @H4ml3t Tell us how it goes with Carlos. I have not glued the left arm yet because I'm afraid I wont have an easy access to the rest of the body while painting it. I'm interested in knowing if it will be difficult for you. If not, I might glue everything together because I dont know how to hold the mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcoblin Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 This month my pledge is the Blessed of December and the Scales of Justice for 12 SS. I started the Scales a while back and only put down about a basecoat or two, so hopefully Ill get him finished and then that will be Lady J's crew box complete! I'm also going to be finishing up with my Ice Dancers from last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the rest has been glued together. @Burnin' Coal thanks for the tip. I sort of remember your work. I'll try to find your posts from last year.

All the rest has been glued together. @Franchute Apologies - I didn't read your comment properly...however I spent some time debating how to do it and leaving the left arm off completely was my other option and would definitely achieve the same result....the fit of the arm is very good so painting the flame all in one go would definitely work as you will have to do very little if any filling or retouching on the shoulder at all A seperate issue with this model that you may come across in time - even though the sculpt is excellent and even though the body of the figure weighs next to nothing it is still nonetheless all supported by the thin plastic rod that represents the torch base of the flame...even though my model has been carefully stored that plastic rod/torch base has become stressed and the figure has started to droop inside the flame...it is a VERY delicate point of contact...in the next month or so I will be carefully cutting the flame free and will drill out the hand to replace the thin plastic rod with stiff wire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 My pledge for March 2018 is 2 rougarou. I thought I had posted this already, but now can't find it. Apologies if this is a double post. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4ml3t Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Finished Baby Cade for 6ss so far this month. Unfortunately his Voodoo Teddy did not survive relocation from the painting base to the final base. So I sculpted some dolls for him to play with on his day off in the swamp. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 @H4ml3t Nice work on Baby Kade - the base looks great and really adds an extra dimension to the model For myself I'm underway...all Neverborn and winged...this month's pledge being 2x Black Blood Shamans and Titania...Barbaros I'll finish next month but I want to paint his wings at the same time as the others WIP to come mid month....or the 28th of March as we call it around here😉 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, great work with Baby Cade, @H4ml3t! My girlfriend saw it and was thoroughly creeped-out. "Why is that baby playing in goop?" was the direct quote, with a face a little like this: The home-made dolls definitely helped add to the creepy atmosphere! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is: Welcome to the challenge! Just let me know which category you would like to enroll for. You will come in with already two mulligans though since you start in March. Also: please announce your how many soulstones you've painted during the month each time you post a picture of a finished model. I guess you are at 8ss for the two gamins so far, arent you?
