Evilbleachman Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Your project is coming along nicely. Can't wait to see what you do with Tara's crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Bah! you'll post pictures of your contest entry completed when you get back from gencon for those of us who aren't lucky enough to go right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Worry not, there'll be plenty of photos afterwards. No promises how soon afterwards though, I might do a write up of the competition process to go with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lussuria Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Where's your selfie, then? :1_Happy_Puppet1: If you zoom into the GenCon Buddhe's glasses, and then use some of that magically-make-photos-out-of-nothing software I see on CSI all the time, you may see Mako in the reflection *shock* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Oh, the mistake of buying in several batches. I got a nasty shock today when I unpacked it all for the first time... Also, as a treat for those who never saw it, here's an overview of the finished crew I did: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Mcmold Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Looks great. I actually like those grubs coming out of the sewer a lot. Did you use NMM or metallics? I can't say from this picture. I'd love to see a more detailed photo of Miss Terious if possible (unless it's going to get published somewhere again *smug*).

Mako Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks! Those little story touches were fun, to help set them in the fluff more. It's my favourite mix of NMM style with metallic paints in the highlights, which I like to call TM-NMM. I'll see what I can do for more photos, but no strict promises - among other things, they're mostly still sat on my computer waiting for processing! They'll appear somewhere eventually though, that I can be sure of *grin* ---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ---------- Ouch. Pre gencon, my modeltracker said: Total: 79 models, 329 soulstones across 7 masters in 5 factions. 38% painted Now, it says: Total: 113 models, 485 soulstones across 10 masters in 6 factions. 27% painted The soulstone count is a bit screwy because of Tara, but it's close enough to see I've put a nasty dent in my painting progress! Oh well, have to paint more I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebeccaJo Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 2 things! 1. That crew is amazing... you never cease to amaze me. AND 2. You do not look anything like I expected you to... lol... As always it was nice to put a face to the name and talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Thanks! I think I rushed a few bits, but it's been nice to really push myself on it, even if the timescale was a touch short. I picked up second in the Wyrd Diorama section, and 4th in the overall crew section, incidentally. I'm totally in agreement with the placings above me, those pieces were better, plain and simple. Especially the diorama winner with the sewing machine and puppets, that was awesome. Oh, now I totally have to know what you expected... It was quite funny having a few people look at me in surprise when I said my name. Especially when they then looked even more puzzled when it came out that I was pushing 30 *grin* Glad I at least met you briefly in the chaos! I met so many people that I never remembered to ask their forum names, it's kind of embarrassing - I had a whole conversation with someone and didn't ask who they were, I only got told later on by someone else! I'm so hopeless at this stuff, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 The crew looks amazing and the display piece you've created is fantastic. I really like what I can see there but would love some close-ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Congrats on the prizes! The finished piece looks really good. I can't wait to see more detailed photos of it. And good luck painting your ever growing mountain of minis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacms Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Congrats maki. And please, please post better, bigger and more (this should cover everything) photos of that diorama . They look awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
