Mydnight Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 So I finally finished my Nicodem Avatar and I'm VERY happy with it. I have to give special thanks to Fetid Strumpet for pulling some emergency work when I was ready to hurl the thing across the room (I had some issues assembling the painted pieces), and thanks to his efforts my opponents will now know the true face of terror when Nicodem manifests. There were a few twists and turns along the way, and I did what anyone would do in that situation: I started a blog http://mydnightshobbycorner.blogspot.com I plan to post more individual updates there detailing my processes and WIP's. I hope you enjoy! :-) shamelessplug/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Looks awesome! Mine is simply assembled and primed... The thought of painting it scares me too much. though. And seeing yours just makes me think I'd think even WORSE of what I would do to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And seeing yours just makes me think I'd think even WORSE of what I would do to mine. You gotta paint it though! I always like looking at stuff that people paint, and I hope that anything I paint serves as inspiration and motivation, not a deterrent. I know you can do it!

Alex Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Looks fantastic -- brilliant job! Hope mine comes out even close to that good... Will be holding onto these pics as a reference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeusInnomen Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I seriously want to buy this Avatar only to paint it. I have no interest in playing Nicodem (presently...) but that's hands down the best hunk'o pewter I've seen in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mydnight Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Looks fantastic -- brilliant job! Hope mine comes out even close to that good... Will be holding onto these pics as a reference! Please do! This model became a little daunting as I painted it in pieces, and when I broke it down I was painting 4.55 zombies, a chair, and Nicodem himself. Everything still went by pretty quickly, but the assembly was a bit rough. I highly recommend figuring out how you want to get things assembled before painting.

Ayezik Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Looks freaking sweet! I have been playing Nico again and once I get more of used to him, I want to get his Avatar. Such a cool looking model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeusInnomen Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 It really is a bad ass avatar. I'm now reminded why I'm paying Mydnight for a commission. He's very capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mydnight Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 It really is a bad ass avatar. I'm now reminded why I'm paying Mydnight for a commission. He's very capable. That seems to be the consensus anyways Thanks everyone for your kind words! In spite of the aftermath I had a lot of fun getting aNico painted up. @Infinitepi: I felt the same way when I first started to use him, but I have a little bit of extra foam to keep him steady and there hasn't been any issues yet. I'm currently more concerned about aRamos, and am probably going to do that nifty conversion I've seen floating around involving the Ramos alt and the Steamborg.
