Distractions

SDE's are 2/3 coats primed and I was tasked with putting together cthulhu for inrepose

Pounds to plastic

Wow, what a slog these are. Starting to wish you get less bang for your buck with this game (^_~)The ones on the left are filled with just the seven on the right to go. I'm open to priming suggestions ☆

Easy does it

Progress has been slow on the SDE minis. Half way through filling. Did manage to get a table together for inrepose and did a little more of the creator board. Also made an ice sculpture up the side of the house.... Well really that was the burst hose pipe but it was my hose pipe.

Together at last

Finally finished scoring and gluing my SDE mini's. Just filling and minor modding and they are ready to hit the spray booth ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

Sabotage

How can I sculpt when I am surprised with the glory that is SDE! Everything else has been shelfed until further notice ;p

Baked

The girls are tanning it up in the oven. Did some work on their feet. Filled out a few of their body's and fleshed out some arms. Off to help inrepose with his salute board or I'd be getting more done with them or the prawn mecka. Looking at him with fresh eyes has really inspired me to blow the dust off him.

Cooking with gas

Lamp + bean tin + electrical tape + tinfoil = One GS oven. Can't wait to test her out

Arms

I'm thinking about setting up a bulb oven so I can get more work done on each mini. The drying time is so long that i can only manage a tiny amount on each mini. It's difficult to tell the progress spread across so many figures.

Lil by lil

Managed a tiny bit more progress. Hoping that these are slightly better shots. Focused on the two ladies I think are going best. Most difficult thing I have come across in building them has been keeping the teeny amount of GS required workable.

Pst

Started trying to sculpt again and was lead to this awesome little app that makes posting so easy I thought it rude not to. These girls are hopefully going to end up at a 15mm scale

Baruk gif

Made a gif so you can see him/her from all all angles ;) (double click to see full image)

As good as it gets

Done finished fineeto.














I really need to work on my patches, the thread's don't look right to me. I have never been shown an effective technique for it so I just roll out a blob and hope it sticks before i mash it up to hard and have to start again.









Maybe in a month or two I'll get around to painting him ^^

Still twilight

Almost done with this guy now. Medallions are on. I noticed that the neck didn't quite look right so i built that up a bit. Added a buckle on one of the belts and baffled myself trying to figure out which side to have the excess belt on.









once these bits are dry I'll add the links to the medallions, thread to the patch and maybe some random stitches. That should be him complete

Dim illumination.

did a lil more to the sacks and added a strap.

Between sunset and dark

added more pouches and started changing the strapped blobby bits. waiting till they set so that i wont distort them when i add the straps. Thinking about adding another rolled blanket some place but haven't decided yet. once I've done these bulky parts I'll get into the little details like the medallions and rivets on the straps

Manhunter Painted

Ok, so i'm no pro but i thought i did ok concidering i havent painted anything in a couple years and i had a very limited pallet (new paints arrived today ^^). Will soonly break out my new paints and give her a touch up ^^

Twilight cont.

glued the tail (forgot to say in my last entry that i bent it into a new shape, but its barly notacable). Pinned and filled out the neck by wrapping it.






















Fleshed out the neck put a little texture into it with some creases.












Started adding new pouches and patches.

Twilight

Rocks, Love all the mini's. Mike has done a great job on them. I thought it would be a nice quick project to create an alternate stance for his baruk ^^. no more need for words, I'll just post the images as i move along ^^.





























just a lil explanation. carved off the bottom jaw to sculpt an open mouth. cut down the head and neck to change the angle of the head. Ground down bags, sacks and straps to i could add a little more diversity.

Helmet

My comp died and i had to install operating system (which i already had ready and waiting) and then was with out all my photo editing software (disc's lost in 3/4 moves in recent years). Anyway, i got GIMP now so all is good ^^













I was pritty chuffed with it hope you like

Extensions

GS'ed straight over the wire, you can see how close to the surface it is. the tip is fatter than i'd like but i felt it was nessasary so the end didn't wiggle. I'm still yet to sculpt the hair on her head but wanted to see how durable a layer of glue over the sand and grit would make it. Also am seeing if i can create convinceing rock with cork and GS. If it dosent work out its no real loss as there will be a layer of snow.













Proof that i've started painting. Just a bit of baseing and some undercoats on my favorit widowmaker. I need a wider pallet of colours O.o i have two P3 sets and they are all greys, greens and browns >.> what a pain.
