well, I didn't win (came in second :) ) - please don't riot! (especially if you're in Brasil *grin?)

wow... has it really been that long that I've neglected this thread??

finally have something to show (not painted yet though..) but it's really cool and it arrived today in the mail.

really made me smile :) (the minis are blurry in the pic - have to take one with only the sprue - but they are really really tiny!)

I got a note from my local PO informing me that a package is waiting to be picked up (yes, that's how post works in Poland - the postman hardly ever bothers to bring the parcel personally and you just get a note). It's either the EBO stuff or an artbook from Massive Voodoo. In either case, I can't wait to pick it up :)

One is in winter (december) called Agram Arena Winter with WHFB tournament as a main event. The other is Agram Arena Summer. It is held over two weekends in july. this is the report about this years event:

thanks mate :)

moving onto the next project... there is a painting competition over on Wamp forum. Infamy miniatures is the sponsor and there are some cool prizes (including every miniature made by Infamy miniatured for life!!)

for more info about the competition, check out:

well, I finally got some spare time so I started work on my Infamy entry/ies...

first up, building the setting...

infamy1_zps6bf6beea.jpg

cobbles (both brick and stone) were done from sculptiboard. the lamp is something I found in a hobby store here in Zagreb (but I will probably put an LED inside). currently debating where to plonk it...

the wooden bits were all balsa... either 1,5mm thick one or the 5mm thick one.. all the planks were first cut and modelled and then glued in place..

infamy2_zpsaa6eff1e.jpg

currently I'm carving bricks into the plaster walls. and my head hurts and I can't see anything so I'm calling it a night with two walls remaining to be carved.

infamy3_zpsc7094e5a.jpg

I made the walls by first building custom moulds - out of balsa. this mould has to be destroyed to remove the cast so is really one use only. but it really speeds up the process of casting as I did all the moulds and casts in about two hours...

Just remember that left is right when making moulds as then you get the the smooth surface (that is on the bottom of the mould)...

anyway, any comment / critique / advice is really appreciated.

tonight's updates...

carving finished. ground floors of both buildings glued to the display base (and the two wall pieces on their respective gaming bases)

in the end the podium (roof actually) for the fourth mini has been built out of balsa. and the base done..

as usual, suggestions are more than welcome...

thanks everyone :)

I think the way you placed it in the middle in the first pic, the streetlight obscures the view a little. I'd probably move it a bit to the side.

thanks mate.. upon further reconsidering the matter, the placement of the lamp will determine where I put the camera for the final shot, if you get me....

first I need to see how the light is going to shine on the Henrietta (as she needs to be obscured - in the dark). the best position that gives that impression will be chosen. then I'll try and find the best possible place to put the camera for none of the minis to be obscured...

or that is the plan LOL

you'll be in the running (if you are a reader of FPM :P) once the table is done.

how the FPM will do the actual prize draw, I still do not know.

as for the dates of our next years tournament, we have nothing set, but you can count on the middle of July (as it's our 11 year tradition to run events then)

back to Infamy, unfortunately no work on the piece yesterday, but today I'm hoping to finish the first floor of the lefthand building and to finally assemble the minis... (at least. would be super if I could start actual painting)

well, it's later and it means pictures :)

managed to assemble the minis. did some minor converting on Henrietta, removing the vial from her left hand and bending it so she can grab the wall behind her. also cut of her head and respotted it so she looks to her left and up - towards Frank...

rest of the minis are more or less as is...

Holmes (will be picking up a hanky or something with that claws...):

Henrietta (as I mentined - grabing hold of the wall behing, peeking around the corner plotting the ambush with Franks help):

infamy12_zps2ae14269.jpg

a shot of Henrietta looking at Frank and Frank looking at Henrietta.. (sorry for bluriness... but I assure you they are in LOS ):

now, just to paint them...
