SpiralngCadavr Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Nice stuff- I think Joss and the Trapper are my favorites. The trapper feels like he fits in very well with the crew, which is often difficult with those mercs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Moetle: Thanks! Spiralingcadaver: Thanks! I've actually improved the painting of the trapper a notch since the photo was taken. I'll see if I can manage to take some photos of it soon. In the meantime, here's a group photo of my arcanist masters And a huge groupe shot of arcanists. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Heh, wow- Ramos is kinda' shrimpy. Also, the outdoor bases have a nice sense of cohesion despite the different effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 You mean he looks small compared to the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yeah, looks really thin/kinda short/has what looks like a tiny head. Maybe it's a weird angle/he's in back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 it's mostly the angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I did some touch ups on the Freikorps Trapper that I speed painted for a tournament late last year. Also the cog is magnetised so I can put this model on a base with a different basing theme to fit in better with a certain crew. Since it's a mercenary. But there are some new reinforcements to my M&SU crews too! Here's a counts as model I made for Johana, using TTB multipart model with slightly shortened legs (yeah they still look long!) and a custom made hammer from a brass rod carefully drilled through her hand, and a hammer head from a warhammer kit. This mercenary is magnetised too Just like the Trapper. And here's a fire gamin I painted last week. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is bubblegum pink Freikorps officially a thing now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Huh? It's red? maybe it looks a bit pinkish in the photo but it is the same red as on Kaeris and Mei's top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 It is a little pinkish, but certainly no bubblegum. Cool idea with the gear... tried that sort of thing once but my model kept on falling off the base so I gave up... Also, epic Johanna - there's something a little weird about her eyes (or maybe it's the camera angle?), but otherwise that's got a ton of attitude and very nice color choices.

Sybarite Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think it's mostly the photo then, could've used some more colour correction on the trapper pics maybe. Why did it fall off? Wasn't it magnetised? Glad you like Johana! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Kept wobbling around even with 2 pairs of magnets in the base... IDK, don't think I handle minis very roughly, but the second time the mini wobbled and hopped off to the floor to shatter I was done. I've magnetized weapons and whatnot, but magnetizing the base somehow defeated me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hmm I can see why you want to avoid it then. i have not had any wobbly model problems. only problem I had was when my measuring stick picked up a plastic model i had magnetised. I was very confused about where it had gone for a second! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Kaeris likes to bring street kids with molotov cocktails. Dunno if that makes Kaeris a very good person... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoil Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Nice. I like your strong highlights and skin tones. Very atmospheric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogoatsnoglory Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 The post with the LED instructions seems to not go anywhere, anyone still have a link to it? I'd love to see how to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 You should totally add a label "TNT" onto that box But really nicely done - love how you've emphasized certain areas with your lighting making for a really dynamic paintjob on such a small and static mini. The conversion is also lovely.The only thing I'm not completely sure about is the flame - it looks somehow a bit weird. It's probably the white part which kinda makes it look like beer foam that has somehow caught fire. I think that you nailed flame better on your excellent Fire Gamin if that is of any help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Glad you like it! I really should take better pics. The subtle source lighting doesn't really show in this pic. Hmm maybe I'll modify the flame. Thanks for the feedback A TNT label would be very funny. I'll consider it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 The pics seem a bit too dark but they do show how nicely you've worked on all the folds in the clothes. Very nice highlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Thanks. I took the pics quickly while holding my tourney at gothcon. Will take better ones of the child and gunsmith probably, when I photograph my Iron Painter entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazonwarlord Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I never thought of magnetizing bases - I mean for switching out bases. That's an interesting idea. I do so hate them getting stuck to tape measures though (magnets for holding them to a tray. I hate it so much I ripped the magnets off the bases).I just got a rail golum and am going to have to try that LED effect. I'm not afraid of a little electronics work! Thanks again for more great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
