TheBugKing Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Yup. The game plan is to do the entire crew (And Leveticus too!) in a similar fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetang22 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 As everyone mentioned, the base is great and very unique. I also think Ramos himself is looking pretty boss. I like the color of his coat, and you've done a nice job on him overall. If your lighting effects turn out nice, you will have a top notch mini there. Very nice model to put on the field! Great work!

Major_Gilbear Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Just had to say "wow!" I love that idea for the base, it looks fantastic! Well done man! :approve: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoM Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 You had to go and get yours done before I got Joss's, didn't you? It's like we had talked about, yeah? Worked out really nicely, so i guess I will do it for Joss after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushmistress Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Wow indeed - an excellent idea for a base (your bases always rock oh terrain king!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Thanks for the kind comments folks. @ 'Dita. No secret really. Just stuff discussed at Gencon. @ AoM. Yeah, it works great. And it's exceptionally solid. I'm doing some more bases that are similar at the moment (No floating) but I am definitely going to do some more floating stuff. Thought: Have Steamy walking on pipes and have punctured them with his dainty "feet". The resulting water spouts would support the model over the muck.

AoM Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 that would be highly pressurized water, but I like where you're going with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 LOL. No no. Have the resulting water supporting the pipes and model. Not on blasts of water but as an extension off the "canvas". But with the 50mm base I will have a lot more room to do some neat stuff. Going for the rather wrecked pumping station look. (That will be much clearer with the next model done. About 75% now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoM Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 yeah, I knew what you meant. I just meant that a stream like that will be representing some highly pressurized water in the pipes that Mr. Pointy Feet has messed up. You know me. I can't resist an opportunity to get in some digs. You lead a criminal organization, and I know these bases are just the eye candy to distract the masses from your true agenda. Hollow Marsh is as much of a propaganda tool as it is a means for greater safety for the workers. We're watching you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugKing Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Sigh, why is the Guild so paranoid? We are NOT a criminal organization. We are a workers union trying to increase the chance that a common worker will make it home at the end of the day. Our dues are used to create things like the Hollow Marsh pumping station. Not some shadowy fictitious criminal organization that the Guild insists exists. Besides, the Guild should know that "Bad Things Happen" when they start making ungrounded accusations. I was thinking more along the lines of having Mr Pointy Feet put his feet all the way through the pipes but have several. That way I can have them step down to accommodate the models sculpt and show water draining out of the hole up pipe but not down pipe.

TheBugKing Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Steampunk Arachnid Swarm this time. No floaty stuff. However it is all scratchbuilt from standard evergreen tubes and I-beams. (Along with a bit of diamond plate) Not the greatest pictures as usual...

TheBugKing Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Next up: JOSS! So, I am not at all fond of Joss' really static pose. I decided that a relatively simple repose of his legs would solve the issue. That and I wanted him jumping off a pipe. So, the conversion for Joss is done. His base is started but not along enough to warrant any pictures. Here is Joss though. (As usual sucky pics! NEED to get that issue solved here some time soon) C&C and all that and Yadda Yadda Yadda.

thetang22 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Good work on the repose. I think I agree with you and a good chunk of other people that Joss has a boring pose. I'm just debating what to do with mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasiok Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 my only suggestion would be to somehow repose his right arm to further facilitate the "jumping" look, just doesnt look right to me somehow, like he isnt jumping but more stepping off a ledge to plunge to his doom.
