moetle Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Some markers i finished. I think they came out well. Started the rail crew box plus Willie the demolitionist. Step by step, inch by inch Quote
moetle Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Posted March 5, 2014 Progress: I didn't want to do the metallic or detail work till the bases were complete. Also I didn't want to do the typical "Rails for the Rail crew". Based on the fluff though I could see Ramos having them helping him clean up after a mine collapse or one of his experiments gone awry or something along those lines. Not sure how far or where I will go with these but, I have a ton of tiny gears for stuff like this. Marching on! Quote
Rathnard Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 This is looking great! Keep up the good work. Quote
moetle Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Posted March 8, 2014 Thanks guys! Primed and base-coated the bases and mounted the minis to them. Once everything is dried completely I will start with the metalics, details, and pigments. Thought I had taken a good pic of Mei Feng but I didn't. You can see her kinda in the railworker pic Getting closer. Quote
zFiend Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 They look great! Wow. Keep up posting these! Quote
Viruk Posted March 9, 2014 Report Posted March 9, 2014 They look great now, with finished based they're going to be amazing Quote
moetle Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks everyone! Lost some progress pics but I got some work done on the Rail crew. They should be done by next weekend I think. You can see some of the pigment colors I used in the first pic. Next I will rust up some of the gears and finish the detail work on the mini's themselves. Quote
moetle Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Posted March 26, 2014 Not much to report really. Added some rust colors to the gears/pipes/metal bits. I'll have to go back and clean some of it up when I start on the detail stuff, but no worries. More later. Quote
zFiend Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Such an amazing crew and I don't see what more you would need to add there Quote
Lussuria Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 The skin on these guys is lovely. Really well done! Quote
thedreadedsquid Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 Those look great! Would you mind telling me your skin formula? Quote
MasterDisaster Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 That skin really is nice! It looks similar to the effect you can achieve using Army Painter's Quickshade Dip. I'd be keen to find out how you did the skin on these guys as well. Where did the cogs etc come from? I've been looking for something similar to make my own scrap markers with. Quote
Kotep Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 Great work! The flesh tones look amazing! Quote
moetle Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks everyone! I have numerous skin tone recipes, but for this one I used Reapers Sunburn Flesh (29821) thinned down in sever layers, then a wash of The Army Painter Strong tone. After that was completely dry, I went over it again with some SBF to start drawing out the highlights, Then mixed in some Reaper Suntan Flesh (29822) thinned down in several layers, then I took some STF on its own, then added a tad of Reapers Caucasian Flesh (29823). The Cogs came from Dragonforge.com. His prices IMHO are pretty reasonable and the quality on his resin is top notch (better than most of the other "popular" guys stuff, at least from my experience). The cogs were white metal though, just saying. The gears were from a bag of watch gears I purchased on ebay. The tubes/pipes were from sprues from wyrds new plastics. The broken drill bits were actually used drill bits from pinning stuff....Oh wait I haven't posted pics of those models yet.... Quote
moetle Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Posted March 29, 2014 Doing small details now. Almost complete. Also did a soulstone miner. It came out well with a nice just came out of the earth feel. More soon... Quote
fablo brunsh Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 Breath taking stuff. I'm so jealous of those bases. Every one I've done was going to be awesome but ended up very simple. Massive inspiration from your efforts there. Thanks for sharing Quote
peebs Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 Great looking crew. The bases are really well done - they're packed full of stuff but don't draw attention from the minis themselves, which can be a tricky thing to achieve. Quote
moetle Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks guys! Much appreciated. Completed. Hope these pics show up better then the camera phone pics. And better pics of the soulstone miner. C and C welcome. Quote
ProximoCoal Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 I love the bases! Fantastic stuff. Quote
Wings Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 Love the rusty metal. The contrast with the shiny Soulstone Miner looks particularly good. Quote
Tony LiPira Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 All the weathering effects really make this crew shine. Isn't that ironic? Quote
Guardian Posted April 5, 2014 Report Posted April 5, 2014 I like the crew and execution! The only thing that doesn't sit well with me is the green pigments used for mud... I think black "coal"-like would suit them better Great stuff! Quote
