osoi Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Well just about to leave work for my morning stint then I have to go shopping. Good thing is I will be painting when I get back and starting a couple of tests for my 10T crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Ah, what's the plan for the 10T? I'm curious to see what people do with them as I have a definite plan for Jakob but only a vague one for Misaki when she appears in a few weeks with book 4 (supporting the FLGS...)

osoi Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I'll let you all know if it works, if it doesnt it will stay unmentioned Slight adjustment in plans now, just watching a couple of german language films, barfuss and kokowaah tonight, should be interesting.

Mister Monkey Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Tried to do some painting this morning .... knew that one model was going to give me grief.... sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 What model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) Aye, which model is causing you trouble? I think I've finally solved the problem I was having with Lucius' pants. *falls into gutter again* we ally should put a cover over this thing, I might not spend so much time in it then...

Mister Monkey Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 That damn little emberling.... I know the theory of paining fire but it is always so painful. *Gets flashbacks of painting the Balrog and shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Ahh, flames. Such a gorgeous thing when they go well, and such a pain to get them to go well! I'm looking forward to Shang appearing in the local store, I ordered the thunder box just for him, looking forward to doing something entirely flame based. Should be a good challenge!

Mister Monkey Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 If the emberling was just flames I think I would have an easier time of it ... Its all the coal too .... Oh well least I will find out how the Wyrd plastic survives simple green baths.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Ah yeah, the backlight effect. That's one I've never had to mess with thankfully. When you figure it out, let me know so I can avoid the mistakes would you? *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Anyhow .... how goes Lucius' pants then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Well, he has a boot and the bottom bit of a knee now. And the point where the breeches meet the boot was the killer point, getting the folds looking right was really tricky. Going to get a bit more done tonight, and put photos up tomorrow. Hopefully can get the knee and lower thigh sorted tonight. He still has one thin peg leg though, only one has had work done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Sweet Pirate Lucius sounds awesome .... Looking forward to seeing the wip's of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 It has been a real beast to get right, I've redone areas a couple of times just to get the basic shape right, then filed them to near shape. Then I need to finish them with really fine sandpaper and files, possibly a thin layer of slip, and then detail them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (starts handing out instruments to the puppets) Let's see if you guys can get Steam Powered Giraffe or Abney Park figured out... Hey, Ramos! Stop trying to steal the cake, that's for after practice! ...uh oh. I don't think this was a good plan. o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 *Flinches and puts ear defenders on* Maybe feeding the puppets to the grinding gears would be more tuneful! How's life ed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Oh, not bad. Slept too little over the weekend. All thrown off, but surviving. Working on the announcement of the Quill winners. Some great stories this time around. Had some specific advice about that line that bugged you- have you thought of doing things like that as dialogue? So instead of saying he decided to do something, have him shrug and say 'what the hell' and jump into things. Gives a little more of a natural feel to it, I think. Only bit of advice I can toss up tonight, got another paper to do for theology. How's you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 That's a great idea, he could so easily have just announced his decision to himself and dropped in, and it would have been a quick and sleek thing to have him say to himself that this time he'd bother asking! Which would have got the same emphasis without the wierd clunky sentence in it. Cheers! Ah, too little sleep, the bane of our lives. And a paper on top of that can't be fun. I'm worn out but my head feels like a bowl of broken glass so I can't sleep. Other than that, rolling on, got more gremlins done and I think I managed to get expressions on their faces so that was pretty good. Any day now I should get a notice about my shipping with luck, so can paint again soonish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Oh, not bad. Tired. I think I got something like 10 hours of sleep over the past three days. Not a great plan. Expecting to crash like crazy later on. (yawn) Been a crazy weekend. Oh well, here's hoping things work out all on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
