dsmiles Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 So, I just ordered a bunch more minis to work on. Among them: aJustice, Mechanical Rider, Abuela, the Twins, an Obedient Wretch, an Austringer (the one with the hat), some bases, some base inserts, some accessories, and a model from Black Cat Bases to serve as a second Insidious Madness (I'd rather have two different sculpts when I can).

dsmiles Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Sorry, no aJustice yet, but here's some stuff I've been working on for a DnD game: Psion: Warrior-Type: Ninja-Type: Large Astral Construct (actually a Hell Dorado Worm Pile): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Some really nice stuff there! I'm really taken by the tattoos on the Psion, they've come out very well. And the flames on Avatar Sonnia are quite effective, using blue for the bit near her mouth was a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thanks! I can't remember who I stole the blue flames idea from, but all the credit goes to them. I had already painted her totem's flames in blue, so it looks right for internal consistency as well. On the tattoos, I just realized that GW Midnight Blue (sadly, no longer in production) gives a more realistic look than black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Anyone got any good ideas for the Executioner? I see a lot of purple hoods out there, but I was thinking blue hood and gray pants. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Ahh GW midnight blue. Quite close to Vallejo Game colour night blue if you ever run out... And I think blue and grey could work nicely, good cold colours to contrast the skin bits. Might be worth adding in some brass to the metals to make them warm too.

dsmiles Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Good call. I probably would have just done the metals in a more steely tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardshark Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 wow i REALLY dig 'Dita's shirt, it really pops, looks like reflective pink pleather or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardshark Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 just noticed the hat change too- did you add a bit to her eyes/forehead? looks great, very Coyote Ugly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Nope. Just a straight hat swap from a Reaper cowgirl I had laying around unfinished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 you had a cowgirl laying around unfinished, you lucky b*stard? :thcow2: anyway, still waiting for the Alexia Ciannor? how's her leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 you had a cowgirl laying around unfinished, you lucky b*stard? :thcow2: I wish. (Giggity.) anyway, still waiting for the Alexia Ciannor? how's her leg?About that. After I primed her, I saw that the area was still rough-looking. I need to go back and file some more excess glue off. The join is solid, though, so I'll consider my first attempt at pinning a success.

dsmiles Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) I decided that I liked the flaming guitar shtick so much that I stole it. without further ado, I give you: Sue WIP: EDIT: I also had enough Green Stuff mixed to make a starfish, a kind-of-jellyfish-looking-thing, and a bit of brain coral. One on each of three bases for my Drowned. The bases will be homemade water bases. (I hope.) Anyone know how long this stuff takes to cure?

Demonn Agram Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 nice sculpts... curing for what? GS? or water (i.e. resin)? GS about 6 hours (I think) resin - depends on which you use. some take a couple of hours, other a day. but what I've found out through the years is that it also depends on the depth of the resin. It isn't the same if you make a puddle of about 2mm deep or the same area but 1" deep... and merry Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Yeah, I meant GS. I've used water effects on just about all of my Gatormen bases, so I know that resin can take a while to cure (about 24 hours for enough to fill a 50mm base). Anyway, I waited overnight on the GS to make sure it was cured and dry before priming it. Happy Holidays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsmiles Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Update: I'm really tempted to make a Santa Ramos and his eight tiny spiders joke right about now.
