WIPs

As in subj. Small tutorial on textured rust.  Comments on this one is really appreciated   I am using an axe hand of the Exalted hero games day 2009 model to demonstrate my way of texturing and painting rust. My conversion of this model is on the right. I am painting this model as a Nurgle hero therefore it is not meant to look pretty As usually I am priming everything white using GW White primer. I am not sure whether this step is really necessary since the ...

Although not nearly as much as I would like lately. This is rather obsolete WIP picture of a nearly dead Boromir. Besides everything else this is my first LOTR mini in about 4 years. Ignore arrows, After taking this picture I realized how much out of scale they are and removed them     

     Over Christmas I finally found some time to ties everything together assemble and paint what needs to be painted. The only thing left is the loincloth and, I think, I have pretty good idea what I want to do with it. I tried several things on this model that I’ve never attempted before, including some sculpting that is more complicated then filling joints - Look at his helmet, for examples, and the dead CSM – too bad GW now came out with space marine casualties ...

 Well, I am not dead just yet. That was a long time without updates. This last month was very busy and no, it had nothing to do with elections. No fun for me , although at some point I seriously considered going back to Missouri. Well, I finally found some time and worked on my avatar. I am sure realism-lovers will find it disgustingly unrealistic so there, it is -!.
 

I would like to thank  all these 100,000 people, bots, search engines and little green aliens who found it interesting and worthy to stop by and take a look

Enough said... Simple off the shelf (from the White Dwarf rather) ork nob.        

After long break I finally fought off that lazy streak and took some pictures. This is Forge World eldar avatar that was patiently waited since the previous games day. This is large and rather complicated model with heavily textured surface that makes blending rather difficult. I am painting it in a traditional "hot, but cooling lava" color scheme with one exception. I figured that his armor is not his "skin" and therefore should be different. Armor was painted using interference ...

A Commisioned Miniature Not much of a piantjob but the mini itself is pretty rare so I figured I post it anyway. This is 28 mm Inquisitor Eisenhorn published by the Black library in the early ninetieth. Around this time the black library published a series of miniatures of their characters. Only 500 copies of each has ever been cast so, you can imagine they are pretty rare. This one is probably the least common since most people don’t feel like parting with it – it is , after ...

Kids again messed up settings in my camera but I will prevail in the end
Meanwhile I added some closeups of this Grumlok&Gazbag mini I am painting now.  

It is going somewhere. I am not completely satisfied with a number of elements here so I think I will set it aside to ripe for a bit.

And here is finally completed model
