diehard Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Some nice looking stuff, You have a unique style but I kind of like it. And the mod to Sue's guitar turned out especially well, the extended flames look great. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thanks. Sue was my first real attempt at greenstuffing (yeah, I just turned that into a verb, that's how I roll) flames. (I was kind of disappointed when there were no flames on his guitar.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diehard Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Dude, you are without a doubt one of the most prolific painters it has been my good fortune to encounter. Just do me a favor and remember to take time to eat between painting sessions. Oh, and btw, really nice looking Ramoses(?) Rami(?) Ah, you know what I mean. As always, thanks for sharing.

dsmiles Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Food is a crutch. For me, miniatures wargaming is more about the miniatures and less about the wargaming, though I won't pass up a game if I don't have to. Thanks. I wanted to do some OSL on aRamos, but like aSonnia, I thought there would be too much lighting, and he'd end up all blue. Next up: Steamborg and a crapton of spiders.

Rezz Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 wow great stuff! I like Sue's flames also. The hooded rider's base is awesome. I see Im not the onlly one whos bottom half of The Drowned's anchor was missing, as opposed to the box art lol. Keep up the great work!

dsmiles Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thanks. But, holy crap! I never noticed that before. I was so excited to finally get a pack of Drowned, I didn't even bother to look at the box art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehard Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 For me, miniatures wargaming is more about the miniatures and less about the wargaming, though I won't pass up a game if I don't have to. Ditto. I think I have painted more miniatures that have never hit the table than those who have. And I don't game with unpainted miniatures. And sure, everybody likes to win, but wargamining to me is more of an excuse to have some fun with my painted models. Keep up the good work.

dsmiles Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Oh, absolutely. I have 2 GW troop cases full of minis, two 3'h x 2'w 3'l totes (each with about 6 layers in them) full of (mostly WarmaHordes) minis, a 1'l x 1'w x 6"h box full of (mostly unpainted) Tau and Tyranids, and probably about 100 or so random minis just hanging around the house. With another 25 or so primed and ready to paint and assemble. Addicted? Me? You can't be serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diehard Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I like it, and it may just be the pics aren't capturing it, but it looks like the flesh (which I do like the color of, btw) could maybe benefit from a little deeper wash to give it a little more definition. Just my opinion though, even without a solid looking paint job. keep up the good work and, as usual, thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 It got really washed out in those pics. I'll see what happens without the flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 nice one! I'd just like to see his face. all those photos and he managed to hide it in all of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 and one other thing I just noticed, he's standing on his hind legs. the front two are not on the ground, did you pin him? aren't you afraid he'll fall off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 and one other thing I just noticed, he's standing on his hind legs. the front two are not on the ground, did you pin him? aren't you afraid he'll fall off?You can't see it in the pictures, but the 'foot' that's resting against the vertical gears is pretty solidly glued on. As in, "It's a solid lump of glue running from the point where leg meets gear all the way to the horizontal base." (The other foot is just in a puddle of glue, and isn't so solid. If the glue doesn't hold, I'll end up pinning it, but I'd prefer not to [as I'm out of pinning material and flat broke ]). EDIT: Also, the only picture that his face was showing in came out blurry (and by the time I posted the pics, his varnish was already on and drying; satin varnish makes them too shiny to photograph properly).

diehard Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Making the Rider's skin metallic and using the electrical effect on the mane and tail of the mount are both really nice (and clever!) touches, ties it in nicely with the Electrical Creation and Ramos also. Well done, and thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
