Viruk Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Lovely work on the basing, you managed to make it look much more dynamic and nicely play with the spider theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJudge Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I really like that conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ned Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 That is a fantastic idea for basing you LSPA. It really showcases the 'arachnid' ability, and looks very natural which is ironic really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thulis Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I must say your spiders bases are awesome. I also like the idea of the spider-bot hanging around ready to pounce. Could have a web with "Some Pig" and a dead stuffed pig underneath it heh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsgosadow Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks for the kind replies. In the meantime I finished my other LSA. Ofcourse I need two for my Ramos spider bomb ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albanyvarai Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Awesome tutorials, and very cool bases. I can't wait to see your arachnids painted up! Edited April 3, 2013 by albanyvarai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Awesome bases. I'd never be able to come up with ideas like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsgosadow Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Again, thanks for the comments. They are inspiring - so I set myself to work on painting. All the models have their base colours and ink now. That allready looks nice on the table. Today I finished my Electrical Creation and Steamborg Executioner. Going to try and finish all the models for the next clubday, 7 days from now. Edited April 5, 2013 by ttsgosadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsgosadow Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 In the process of giving them a couple of layers of varnish. Well get better pictures later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsgosadow Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 With the longer light in the evenings, I got to make some better pictures to share. First off my Large Arachnids. I have two, for my Ramos bomb. I wanted to make them look more like real spiders. Having a pet tarantula, I had a good reference. One I hang upside down, the other holding it's prey. To differentiate them some more, I used slightly different painting schemes. One has orange eyes, the other blue, to tie them to the rest of the crew. I tried a bit of OSL on the lights of the base for the upside down spider. I am glad how they turned out. They look really neat, and striking on the table.

ttsgosadow Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 And then there's the totems/Electrical Creation. These are very nice models. I am especially fond of the Brass Arachnid. For the Electrical Creation I skipped glueing the little sparks on top. They kept falling off, where too small to pin, and, more importantly, I like the 'bare head' look. I spent a lot of time layering the flesh, something that feels like wasted effort when you see the pictures. In real life it looks better, imo. Here again I am trying some OSL, which came out okay. The model is great, painting it as well The Brass Arachnid is one of the key models that attracted me to a Ramos crew. Its such a cool little thing. I painted it as close to brass colour as I could manage, which is actually gold. But as I used a more shiny gold, it looks a bit like brass. It was quite easy to paint, and I really like the base with it. The Other totem, Mobile Toolkit, has a less cool appearence imo. It looks fragile (it also is fragile in the game), and I keep messing up the front and back. Now I am posting this I see that I fotographed the back. I again tried some OSL on the eye, you have to believe me on that Do like how the base turned out, the brown looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsgosadow Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Then some better pictures of my Steamborg. I love him. He kills stuff. He is mobile. He looks great. Had great fun assembling him, and his base. On the pictures the bronze rust/patina comes over stronger then it is in real life. Still not too subtle, but not as bright as it seems on the pic. Spent a lot of time on the flesh, really trying to make it pop. I am quite satisfied with it, maybe the dark parts are a bit too dark. But still, it got a good contrast and pops out on the table. The way I positioned him on the base makes him stand more upright. I greenstuffed the little hole that emerged while doing that. You can't spot it at all. I didnt highlight the cables sticking out of the base on purpose, as not to pull attention from mr 'Borg himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I really, REALLY, love your base conversions. Place spider like models upside down in an arch and all kinds of awesome goodness. Damn! I wish I had your sense of creativity! Well done! Also... orange. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsgosadow Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 And the crew isnt complete withour Ramos and his avatar, Ravatar. For Ramos I did his OSL after practicing on all the other models. I like how the yellow came out with the little lighter yellow stripes in the lights. The blue OSL on his jacket is the best I produced so far, and am really glad how it turned out. Spent endless amounts of layers on the browns, and was a bit scared to screw it with my blue. Ofcourse Ramos is a boss, and wears white shoes. I think Ramos is my best painted model up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsgosadow Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Ravatar is so cool to play! Building the model was a bit of a choir. Not so much attaching the legs to the torso, but to get the model attached to a base. I couldn't pin it, so had to solve it with multiple layers of glue, a bit of sand where the claw touches the base, and a few extra varnish layers. I wanted to give a glowing blue look to where the legs attach to the torso. That didn't turn out too well. It looks flat. For the rest I found out during painting that I attached the blue spark the wrong way. The backside is facing forward. Well, as a player I will be looking at his backside quite some, so I will see the more detailed part. Again really tried my best on the base.

ttsgosadow Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Got the base for my Mechanical Rider. Still have to attach the arm with chain weapon. Will be working on a trofee for the Painting Raffle I am holding in 10 days first. But then it's back to the last few models for my Ramos crew. After this Mech Rider I got Joss, and then its time for Mei Feng. She's been in her box for way too long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 As said before: Stunning work on your models. Really like those bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 The bases on Large Arachnids are pure awesomesauce. The whole crew looks pretty amazing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
