Popular Post wobbly_goggy Posted May 16, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hokey cokey, I've blasted through a few more minis (don't know about you, but some models 'grab' me and demand attention, others just need to be done. These guys, even though I like the models, fall into the latter category) Wrastler (5) + Bayou Bushwhacker (5)+ Brewmaster (15) = 25ss (so far.....) Bonus points if you can name the wrestler whose kit the wrastler stole... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed I got a trouble with still water. I used to much green washes with the result of masking my painting job of the base. Same thing with hounds bases I'll post in a second time.

prof_bycid Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hello all. I thought I had posted this 2 days ago, but must not have hit the Submit button. Here is my May pledge coming in late. Going to do Ferdinand Vogel and the Beast Within, both on Wyrd's Victorian Ruins bases. Throwing in a Tengu to get to 12 SS, unless there was a rule about 0 SS models (I will looks this up in the guidelines). Cheers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear good things but I wasn't impressed by the YouTube demo I found of the gold set. @misterfinnI have! I'm not great at NMM, and considering the amount of metal in Malifaux miniatures, I spent a fair bit of time experimenting. My opinion is that Scale75 metallics are excellent. They have a very fine metallic component. I suspect aluminium is in there. Downsides: You have to really, really shake them before use, as they will separate readily. You'll have limited use (probably) on some of their coloured metallics. Upsides: In my opinion, they have excellent coverage. Very strong pigments. Smooth finish. I'm a particular fan of the Scale75 Victorian Brass. Here are some reviews / tutorials: Pirate Monkey, Massive Voodoo, and a massive metallics comparison. I don't mind Vallejo's Model Air range, and I also like the (more painful to use) Vallejo Liquid Metals. Nice skin tones on the TTB figure, by the way!

Purple Mist Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hello, final shooting documenting my achivements with current monthly pledge: Painting the hound was very relaxing and quite easy. The only trouble was with model fitting over bases. Nekima was challenging as I expected. BTW, because of the model posture the face is looking down so that details are hidden...... may be I took advantage of that because of my modest ability with brush. Overall value for this pledge was 25 ss, if I'm not wrong. Wishing you all an happy conclusion of May Challenge! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Shock & Awe Posted May 18, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Got my Scion of the Void all done up. That's 8 more SS for me, with Sonnia that brings me to 23SS for the month. So much good painting this month! I'm on my way out the door, so I'll drop back in to comment in a bit, but this really has been a good fuel for my painting. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aa7 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Missed posting at the start of the month but this month I'll be finishing off Carlos. Here is the link to my Carlos finished for May pictures.

Shock & Awe Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 @Rikk - That supply wagon is boss! I love all the little details (meat on the meat hook, whiskey barrels, all of it!) Well done. @Phinn - Beautiful effigy, and I agree with Misterfinn, your stitched are amazing. I love the colors! @bedjy - I really like your wrath. All the detail work is really beautiful, and the colors really pop. @Burnin' Coal - Thanks for the kind words, and, man those bases are amazing. The mossy feel to them is really nice. I definitely don’t have the patience for that kind of work. Great artistic eye as well, to see that in your head and make it come out so well. Really impressed with all your work. @Chou - looks great man! I really like the blue. He’ll be on my table next month, so I have something to aspire to. @Franchute - your mage, and that base, are really nicely done. I love the zombie too... but isn't that a Necropunk... not a Punk Zombie? I don't play ressers, but I've been chopped up by them before. All the small detail work is really impressive. I like your photo style, personally, but this is coming from a man who still uses his phone for photos an can’t stick to one background (I can’t figure out if I like white or black more), so my word may not be the best…. still, I like it! @PetitDalek - The wendigo looks great. I love the base and the blueish green hue you’ve managed on him. @Purple Mist - I really like her skin, and (it may be the lighting) but her tongue looks black-ish, which is cool. I really like the overall feel of the mini. @wobbly_goggy - Great models! I love that bushwhacker, as a whole piece with the base, he’s amazing! What is that green foliage? That makes that piece IMO. @Aa7 - I like the purple/blue color combo on Raspy. Carlos’s flames look really good too. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted May 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 @Shock & Awe thanks for noticing the typo By the way I'm not a man who uses his phone to take pictures. I use my wife's XD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 @Aa7 Very nice touch with the purple in the flames - gives a feel of magic to the model @wobbly_goggy Smooth brushwork- really like the colours you used on Brewmaster @misterfinn Thanks for the kind words but credit where it's due for the moss on the bases which isn't anything to do with technique or brushwork - it's part of the very extensive range of foliage produced by Mini-Natur - the moss comes on a self adhesive strip like grass clumps - it had been sitting unused in a box for ages before the lightbulb went off in my head and I finally got a chance to use it @Purple Mist Great looking group of figures you have produced- I like how they all tie in with each other @Chou Your work on Yasanouri really made me stop and have a good look - great job !...and it made me want to make the model even though it has nothing to do with my own collection.....yet 😉 @Franchute I wish I could borrow a phone that good 😂 @Viruk Am already looking forward to seeing what you come up with After much gnashing of teeth I have finally attached the ghosts to the Goryo bodies...and the bases are almost finished...just need to attach the Goryo to the bases - at which point I'll let out the hugest sigh of relief ever...very VERY fiddly and mega delicate models...almost there now 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbly_goggy Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 @Burnin' Coal - thank you! I wanted to try something a little different @Shock & Awe - Cheers! It's probably best he'd hidden as he's painted pretty basically. The foliage is just a bit (a sprig?) of lichen, the rubberised type you can get from lots of modelling shops, normally sold in packets of bunches.

Rikk Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Have decided to photo my box of shame for gremlins (24 models in photo...and I’ve realised Ulix isn’t there) Ive a fair bit more unmade yet, so I’m going to say now, I can only buy more minis when I’ve completed 12 models from this box/tray, and anything I do buy goes straight into this pile. hopefully I would like to get all these complete by end of July....we’ll see 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted May 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 After contemplating the box of shame for a while, I decided to put some paint on Carlos: @Burnin' Coal I followed your advice and tortured hit foot with a spike.

Scatterbrain Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 It's going to be another last ditch effort for me again this month. This time I chose a robot rather than a person so I can get away with basecoat + wash + drybrush. 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizuriel Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 So travelling for 2 weeks than sick for 1 week doesn't give me much time to paint. Spent all today working on 3 models which I can hopefully finish in time 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
