Popular Post prof_bycid Posted June 29, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 The ice golem is done for 10 SS in June. I think I need to go back and do some highlighting on the head. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Boomstick Posted June 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Really liking what I'm seeing from you all this month, as usual! Between all the rain and blistering heat I got a lot done painting-wise! Jack (15), Lady Ligeria (2), Montressor (9) Guilty x3 (15) in their translucent glowy-ghosty-ness by their copper trees, and Izamu (10) as inspired by Ganondorf, pierced by many Light Arrows. All told, 51ss. Had a lot of fun doing something a little different this month. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedrus Posted June 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Well, so many beautiful images (and oddly, words!) this month! Where to start? @Stranglelove: That's a seriously beautiful coach. The 'tongue out' Hanged is the creepier, but the other is just so desolate. The cracked bases are really evocative. They add a lot of atmosphere to both. @Phinn: wonderful prose. Kudos! @muraki: I'm constantly in wonderment at your palette! Loving the Vanessa, particularly. Also Bishop's greaves! The group shot is amazing! @Purple Mist: I just scored 3 Riotbreakers. I suspect that I might steal your colours. Were they GSW Chameleon paints? Also, is that the Venetian terrain? Good choice! @Wintergloom: That adeodatos is superb. The magenta / green contrast was an unplanned, intuitive paint choice? If so, you've got a fine eye for colour. Congrats on the win - and so very well deserved. The group is cohesive collectively, and brilliant individually. I think that turquoise is so powerful at making your Black Ops so unified. @wobbly_goggy: nice detail on the gremlin. That's a TINY mini! Loving the hair / fire similarity. @Diddick: Beautiful Hamelin. The pants OSL looks like it's been stippled, really, really effectively. Also, stripey socks! @Franchute: So, I'm *loving* that smoooooth dark leather on the effigy, but I'm keen to know what colours you use for your base skulls. They're my favourite Franchutism! @Nikodemus: those pistoleros are such simple minis, but you have given so much character. Love it. @prof_bycid: A great job on a hard mini. Translucent blue is unforgiving! If you get your hands on Tamiya Clear, it does wonders. Loving the white veins. @Boomstick: If you'd told me that bare copper wire trees and translucent green would look good, I'd have my doubts. Not any more. Kudos! Whew! I just love visiting these threads, just to see what everyone comes up with. Inspiring ideas. So many different, gorgeous styles! Keep doing what you're doing! Caedrus. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Thanks @Caedrus. I'm simply starting with gw mournfang brown for the skulls. The reason is because it is the same colour I use for the wood. Then, I add ushabti bone to the brown. I probably do this two or three times. Then screaming skull, white and the last highlight is pure white. Your marshall OSL are amazing by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also confirm the scenic are from Streets of Venice range. I like a lot those scenics although I'm discovering there's a lot of work to do with 1mm cardboard components. Now I'm going after the couple of small buildings in the pic but June is finished and I have not chance to complete them. They'll be the core of my pledge for next month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PetitDalek Posted June 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I did it! With 6 hours to spare!!! Through the heat, I battled on and finished my huuuge 6SS pledge. Now, I am gonna look through your submissions while sipping my well-deserved beer. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post misterfinn Posted June 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 @Caedrus claiming Bushwhacker #2 for 6SS. Can't use my wife's fancy camera setup this month but the color's not too terribly off. I think the model's OK. Starting to get the hang of working faster. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 @PetitDalek @misterfinn these gremlins are really well painted! I love the highlights on @misterfinn's and the mix of colours on @PetitDalek. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hamelin is almost finished. Almost. Today I came back from 9 day family holiday and spent basicaly whole day sleeping. Unfortunately this means that Monthly Painting Challenge ends for me. But... This year I got further then previously and changed as a painter (been painting much more systematically etc.) My plans for the future: Finish Hamelin and post some photos at MPC - July. Continue to paint at least a model per month. Not sure which one will be next, because there are so many things I want to try. I want to try fur technique on Nix, worn leather on Rat Kings, Benny Wolcomb has a lot of skin etc. The end game is to finish all Plague models. Create a thread about my painting adventures - thoughts behind colour schemes, where I drew inspiration from etc. Phinntastic journey with a brush or something like that Attend MPC next year again Good luck and have fun, everybody 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Mist Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 @PetitDalek I like a lot the shade of the skin of your gremlins: it's original and realistic at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lusciousmccabe Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Sorry I'm late and even moreso that I have to Mulligan, again! @Caedrus Only managed to complete a scales of Justice this month for 2ss which is below my pledge of 6. Would have made it if I'd used that time to finish off Failscisco, but my brain wasn't working well enough to think of that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hi all, sorry if it's a weak move from me but I can't really show what I painted in June at this point (some pre-release stuff). Using M2E ss worth, a total of 74SS. I promise I will upload pictures as soon as I can (probably around Gencon time ). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
