Yep. I'm a dumbass. When I get good ideas for conversions after midnight, I don't shelf the idea and come back to it at a reasonable hour. No, sir.

So aside from a bit of gap filling and pinning, I now have a built Glamorweaver on Unicorn for my Wood Elf army. I bet you can imagine how fun it was removing 2/3 of the Fay Enchantress from her mount, and removing the bottom half of the floating Mage without wrecking her dress. I think I coated my entire room in pewter/resin dust by the time I was done... at 5:00 am. Did I mention I didn't sleep Monday night either due to homework? I'm awesome.

Your mileage may vary, but personally I think this sculpt is perfect. I'm thrilled to finally have this model. He's Nazgrub Wurrzag, ork scrap prospector. This fig from '97 has been one of if not my absolute favorite production model, and now I own one :-)

At the moment he's chilling out on my drawing tablet, but once I figure out a scrapheap style base for him, I'll get to work painting the bugger. I plan on doing my best to emulate some of the absolutely amazing Ork skintones to come out of Games Day competitions lately. Should be fun, I've been dying to do a contest level Ork figure for a while now!...

Hooray, I finally got pics of my finished Arwen model up.

Do the vote thing here. Apparently the blog doesn't like it when I link images beyond about 550 pixels wide. I'll try to remember that so the formatting doesn't get screwed up :D

Had a really fun time the last week or so converting up this new Wood Elf character. I bulked out a Dark Pegasus with a pile of greenstuff, and gave him a massive rack of antlers made out of Dryad branches and many many pins. If you look carefully, he even has the boy parts alluded to in previous posts :-)

As the title suggests, I spoke too soon re: my computer situation. It didn't stay up and running for long, it was sidelined with more crippling errors shortly after I posted that. I haven't touched it for a few days, and I plan on wiping and trying one last time before setting it on fire. I'm probably not even kidding, it would be so incredibly satisfying...

Anyway I've used my week off (spring break woo!) pretty well so far. I've done like 2 hours of reading for school and put probably 6 hours of gaming and 12+ hours of modelling in so far. I have 4 Treekin WIP, 1 finished, 2 almost finished, and one freshly purchased today. The big project at the moment is a Noble on Great Stag conversion. I used a mountain of greenstuff on Morathi's Dark Pegasus to turn it into a bulky hairy beast and I must say it's looking impressive. I need to bulk out the front legs and make him a worthy rack of antlers tomorrow and he'll be ready for priming....
