Mako Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I just play with my raccidgeons when I get confused. Though I've been working on a new pet that I think will work a little better. Certainly be less stupid, and possibly cuter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Oh? What new pet is that, Mako? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 The squirreagle. It seems like a much more sensible idea. Plus, it might help keep the raccidgeon population down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Shaper Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 There's a new backdrop image in the forum and on the main Wyrd page! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 So there is. What does it mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Good: I actually got some painting done last night. Bad: It took much longer to paint the rags on 10 Ghouls than I thought it would. Worse: I have to let go of mold lines being on these models or I will never get any of them done. Interesting: The more I use inks, the more I like playing with them. It's like shading plus color change in one step if you use the right one. The painting with washes trick also works with inks, though if you don't dilute a little the color will be very strong. When it comes to spray primer and models on sprues, do you guys prefer to assemble then prime, or the other way around? Maybe I'll post pictures of some of this stuff when done. It will be terrible, but at least I'll have proof that I'm painting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I usually assemble as much as I can, that way I don't have gaps to fill after. Unless it'll stop me getting to part of the model with a brush it gets stuck together. How's the day treating people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hey ed, not seen you for a day or two! How's work? I'm just glossing the edges of the snipers' base one last time and tidying up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Work is okay. Fighting with some boards that fall into the 'must pass or paperwork' category. Hate these things. Saw the snipers, they look good! Make sure you mention us in your acceptance speech for any awards. *wink* Oh, and Smart Max is amazingly quick on shipping...they showed up today. Really impressed with the quality of the pieces, although Captain Canada has less work with green stuff I'm going to have to do. Not sure how I'm going to paint them just yet... also need to figure out if I'm going to be able to afford doing a diorama or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ugh. Anything that leads to paperwork is a bad thing. Can always start working them up, and just do the diorama as you can afford it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 That's the plan for now, but we'll see. They both came with some pretty nice bases, I'm just not sure I can match it, so I think I'll have to paint them up and see about getting them some other bases later on. Doing a combined base with both of them seems to be out, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'll answer when my nose stops bleeding... o.o ---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ---------- Oof. I hate allergies... >.< Sitting in the break room and suddenly bleeding... Anyway, if I want to do a large scale diorama, doing a 120x95 base just won't work. ---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ---------- The other thing that'll be interesting is that the models are both facing the same direction, if I try to arrange them as a duel you'll be able to see the face on one or the other, not both. Not too much of a problem in a larger scale fight scene, but it seems like it'd be weird with just them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I dunno, it's pretty normal. The facing each other thing, not the sudden venting of excess claret. That's not so good. It makes it more natural, and since people will usually look round it, they'll see it all. Heck, from one angle my sniper dio is basically black!

edonil Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hm. Maybe I should forget about the large scale diorama and just try for a small scale one...see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Not bad aside from the bloody nose. Itching to see some more information on that Robotech game... >.> Hoping that it's simpler than Battletech, much as I love the idea of that game it makes Infinity look simple.

Mako Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 .... Infinity, simple? Eep. That's one mother of a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Battletech isn't super complex...if you play only using the simplest rules. When you're doing that, you aren't even using the full rules out of Total Warfare, the first book. Then there's two more books.... >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
