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.

Backwards or forwards

Took the "Shafts" off the grenades for the obvious reason that they made them look like giant rubber cocks >.> So now they look like Loony Toons bombs. I'm still working on more realistic bombs (old war bomber types and pipe) which i might still remove these for if they turn out much better.



















I ordered this girl last November. NOVEMBER! yes, long story but she finally arrived yesterday. I Sliced her hat right off and I'm giving her a giant ponytail which will hopefully look like its whipping about with her movements.

A picture is worth...

So 10 pictures need no words! right?

SEEeeeeeeeeeee

Just wanted to prove that I have been sculpting.







As you can see, the Devastator has got the majority of my attention. The grenades still need a lotta lotta work but you get the idea. going to disguise the wires with smoke plooms. it looks aces in my mine. just gotta get it on the figure now.






















Like the stump from this angle. from others it looks too thin at the base. I have decided on snow bases and am told that baking soda is the way to go. I'm going to try a few methods on some test bases.


And some boring prep work on some other minis. pins and wiring for some base detailing I'll do later. rocks, stumps, Branch's, trees and skulls etc.

Long time no see ^-^

Back again ^^ Yeah, "the game" sucked me in again. But its ok... its ok. i gave all my gear away to friends signed out for the last time, closed my account and uninstalled it. That shoud keep me off ^^ and yay! now i have time again for other things! Have recently started blacksmithing! which, is, awsome! Check it out!
These have taken me one week (two visits) @ the forge to get too this stage. thats about 8 hours work on this piece (I usualy work on a couple of things in a trip). The farrier whiped up one in about 15 minutes >.> I'll get there eventually I'm sure. Oh, these will be the head of a set of tongs btw.






Nice eh? Very natural shape ^^ Totally deliberate. Farrier showed me how to make a leaf today. This was my first attempt and it only took me about 20 minutes ^^ I tend to over work my pieces, faffing about with them. Apparently I'm indecisive and this lets the Iron cool before i even strike it.














Check this out! something that actually looks like a reel tool. Farrier and i made them together today. I was well chuffed. I mean yeah, he did about 80% of it but i learnt shed loads. Maybe even enough to finish my own set that you see at the top of this post. I cant wait. and now i get to continue with my first set with a tool that i helped to make. That's gotta be the coolest thing about Blacksmithing. you get to make things with tools you have made yourself ^^ I would love, love to make this a career.

So now that I'm off the game i will back too my sculpting. Hopefully your looking forward to it. Peace out.
