Shades Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Thanks for looking and commenting, guys! ...how did you do the leaves? The leaves are photo-etched brass (primed and painted with the rest of the model). I think I purchased them from Hasslefree Miniatures.

Nickienogger Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Love the frohawk! How did you sculpt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Beautiful smooth painting. Shame about the arm join on the left shoulder (or is it just the photos?). It wouldn't be so noticeable if the painting wasn't so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Love the frohawk! How did you sculpt it? It's actually a grass tuft… ... Shame about the arm join on the left shoulder (or is it just the photos?)... Nah, you busted me. I was experimenting with different fillers: green stuff, Vallejo Plastic Putty, and Vallejo Stone Filler. The white areas show the Plastic Putty (the Stone Filler is white, too, but I think I tried that on a different model). The Plastic Putty was a lot easier and faster to apply, but it was hard to tell whether it was flush with the model or not. Plus, I was impatient. My interest in modeling trails my interest in painting. But it was a good learning experience. Good that I learn these lessons on gaming figures, so that I can apply the lessons to the rare display figure that I might paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 By far the best paintjob on Cojo I've seen so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 hey Shades, nice to see you over here Hey there, Demonn, fellow WAMPer! Yeah, 2E did everything it needed to do to bring me back into the game. Michael Brandt of NOVA Open fame launched a gaming group that has grown to well over 20 new Malifaux fans in only 2 months. We now play every Monday night -- Malifaux Monday! Most everyone agrees that 2E is now one of the best-designed and well-produced miniatures games on the market. Way to go, Wyrd!

MasterDisaster Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I love the level of details on your models. The Jackalope and Molemen are really nicely done. Your Cojo is just epic! It's just a shame he's not on a 50mm base as per the errata but he looks really cool, especially with the custom do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah, if I recall correctly, I learned about the errata about a week or two after I finished Cojo. I was a little miffed! What I'll probably do is make a 50mm, magnetized "adapter" for him, if I ever use him in organized play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Now that the Summer Painting Contest is complete, I can show these..... Yup, there's some proxies in there, but I like to think that there's enough of the real-deal, and enough consistent theme, to appropriately honor Wyrd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgraz Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Lovely Marcus crew. I even like the proxies. Great flesh-tone on Marcus and I like the molemen color. The 'hawk on Cojo is epic. What are the 30mm proxies supposed to be? Canine Remains maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 As always, you have great models! Thanks, Aaron! I gather from the last podcast and from your signature that you moved out of the area. Sorry we couldn't fit in a little more gaming before you left! Lovely Marcus crew. I even like the proxies. Great flesh-tone on Marcus and I like the molemen color. The 'hawk on Cojo is epic. What are the 30mm proxies supposed to be? Canine Remains maybe? Thank you, Dgraz! Yup, sure enough, they're Canine Remains. But I call them Baby Cerberus's, ha, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 New additions to my Arcanist crews (Marcus and Ramos, at the moment), in preparation for Battle for Salvation. The second one is a conversion for Joss. I still need to wrap up about 8 more miniatures! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Wow, the weathering on the torii gate is great.A little confused about the lantern placement, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Wow, the weathering on the torii gate is great.A little confused about the lantern placement, though. It's just there to occupy some of the negative space and add interest. I was torn between that and the bonsai tree. The tree was appealing because it would consume a little more empty space, and it's irregularity would break up the straight lines of the Torii gate. But I decided I wanted to experiment with the OSL, and I figured it might add a little more life to the piece than a static bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
