fishtank Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I glued my entire Sonnia avatar together before I started painting her. A sensible person would have left Sonnia herself seperate from the Salamander and glued the two parts together later. It's looking decent so far, but dear god I've made things tricky for myself...getting the base colours on Sonnia is not easy. Learn from my example: think before you glue.

nilus Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 LOL, Yeah I held kept mine seperate. But I filled in the peg hole on the Salamanders neck thinking it was a defect and not actually a peg hole. So we all learned something today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was putting together my Hamelin crew, and the same thing happened to me - Nix would have been much much better to work with if he was left apart, but alas I had to put him together. Thankfully 20+ rats are all one piece. (And, ummm, yeah this is actually my first post on the forums) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headcase2 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 (And, ummm, yeah this is actually my first post on the forums) Welcome! If that happens to me I just remind myself that if you can't reach it with a brush you probably can't see it anyway. Not that this actually stops me from trying...

Soseito Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 welcome pie-rat -back on topic- I tried the "if I don't see it, it's not there" approach. Somehow that makes it all the more obvious. Almost as if my eyes automatically zoom in on the spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie-rat Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Yay I have a Captain... Go destroy, bring me cheese. Sir, Yes sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Sir, Yes sir! Excelent, Muha ha haaaaaaaaaaah. BTW is a pie-rat like a pie-elf*? or a rat found on the sea with a cutlass? *pie-elfs are the traditional type of elf found in Live Action Settings, Elves appear in fiction as thin tall humanoids that can dance over snow without leaving tracks. They appear in LARP as rotund creatures with more in common with a boulder than a a human being. They are normally seen rolling down hills and terrifying archaologist trying to pick up ancient artifacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naravus Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'd wager its taken from the children's story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie-rat Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 No, I though I was just being clever and combining pirate and rat, I had no idea about the children's stories. So now I've learned TWO things today, my screen name is unconciously stolen, and LARP elves are different... Back on topic, I got clever and seperated my crew from their scenic bases before priming and painting them, so I think I may be learning.

Soseito Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Would the children's story happen to be called Garfield's pet force? I happen to remember a villain named Space pie-rat. He was a really fat rodent with a eye patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
