AvatarForm Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi guys, Here is my first crew. Cult of December. More on the way. [url=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg254/gunner-recall/DSCF0151.jpg] At present having issues with file size and loading my golem and essence of power (using the flame guy from the accessories) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extro Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 The solid ice bases are unique. I don't think I've ever seen anyone try that before, at least none that actually looked translucent like real ice. I like the two-tone gamin, it makes it more visually interesting. Good job on the blending all-around. It looks especially good on the cloth of the December acolyte. Excellent looking crew I would love to play against. Look forward to seeing your golem when you get the pic up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvatarForm Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 The bases are inserts from Dark Age, and beneath each the base was painted Ice Blue before gluing on the insert. The insert was then lightly dusted with white to pick out the edges, but keeping the majority clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berman Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 The crew looks great man. Love the paint work. As said above teh blending is great, white is a bear to do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiumBathhouse Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I really like this crew. Nice execution! The bases are awesome. I dig the greenish glow of the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirigakurenoHaku Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Wendigo: Sorry, but I must ask this: is he ice skating? Your models are looking really good! The paint job is very strong and the bases look like a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowopal Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Excellent work. Your bases have me wanting to do some clear cast bases with some tinting now for my crew. I'll have to think about that for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paint job is very strong and the bases look like a lot of fun. Thanks for the feedback. Im sure these will wow the kids at club into submission (since I am an average gamer). Now that you brought it up, even when I look at the Wendigo in person, all I see is him enjoying himself... might need to add some blood splatter to take away (or increase) the level of enjoyment he seems to be having. @Shadowopal - thank you for the kind words. Had I the materials and talent, Im sure I would do something similar with clear resin myself. Hope you decide to do them and show us all.

shawnreed343 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 *chuckles* I also really like that Wendigo. I know how small the model is, so that's an amazing amount of detail work you've done. But indeed, I can almost -hear- him going 'WEEEEEEEEEE!' XD I also like the bits of snow, especially on 'Tina's base. Mind if I ask how you did the snow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyeru Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 very nice. I'm working on a december crew as well, and this is rather inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallghost Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Am I the only one that see the ice skating Wendigo and scary rather than Cute? Picture it. the ice rises up from the damp ground under your feet. You know something's up and turn to leave, but slide right down on your face. As you roll over to try and get up, you see it whipping across the ice at a breakneck pace, all fangs and claws. You may never even get your feet under you before it's tearing your throat out...

Omenbringer Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 The bases are inserts from Dark Age, and beneath each the base was painted Ice Blue before gluing on the insert. The insert was then lightly dusted with white to pick out the edges, but keeping the majority clear. The models look great but I think the bases could use a little more love (as is they look a bit rushed). Would suggest that aside from the dusting of white on the edges (which really brings out the edges), the crevices need some definition too (try a thin bluish-green wash). The snow also looks rough, try adding a little water effect (or gloss medium) to it and you'll get a more realistic (slushier) look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will indeed experiment further with the snow effects from Woodland Scenix... however, Im leaving this crew for now and focussing on my "Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland" themed Pandora list... Anyone got a good recipe for sandy blonde or rich red hair? Pandy - Alice Candy - Red Queen Teddy - Chessur (cheshire cat) Kade - Tweedledee/dum Convict Gunslinger - dee/dum Doppleganger - unsure, gonna try ice white hair and pale skin Any suggestions and recipes welcome here or in my diary when I post it up. PM is also welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Axis Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 How did you make the base on the Ice Golem? i have a Teddy, which I painted like a polar bear and want to put an ice base on it. All your stuff looks really nice. I have some figs done but can't post them because I'm entering the Rotten Harvest VI paint contest.

Sorry, I was just looking for this thread to show a friend and realised that I had no answered you. The clear resin bases are from Dark Sword or Dark Age. The snow is a snow flock mixed with pva/white craft glue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleys_Bariman Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Anyone got a good recipe for sandy blonde or rich red hair? Any suggestions and recipes welcome here or in my diary when I post it up. PM is also welcome. I do dirty blonde with GW colors in mind but any equivilent Vallejo or P3 color would do. Basecoat - Snakebite Leather Midcolor - Bubonic Brown Highlight - One part Bubonic Brown; one part Bleached Bone the tint of brown really makes it look like a poor hydrogen peroxide job done by a meth-monkey hair stylist. As for the rich red: Basecoat - Dark Flesh Wash - Flesh Wash Mid color -Vermin Brown Wash - Flesh Wash Highlight - One part Blood red; two parts Vermin Brown Edited April 22, 2011 by Bleys_Bariman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, for higher contrast I think I will paint the washes into the recesses for the Red. This should mean that my highlights pop on the raised bits of the hair.

Victoria Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I love the bases... and I must agree that the wendigo looks like he is skating! Great job... gives me inspiration to paint my raspy crew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
