@mage The skin came out not as well as I imagined but it is a learning experience and after the gloss coat it sealed well enough. Airbrush work to try and get the right breaking for a dapple was not successful so I did a bit of stippling with a brush and played more with the dry pigments. They definitely worked better than I anticipated. I’m thinking that I’ll do the same kind of approach for the next horse that I paint. Before you hit up painting Charcharadons get yourself some 3D printed chapter emblems to add to the pauldrons. You may go in for squad marking afterwards but the chapters I’ve seen are quite good. I enjoy seeing all the minis for other people but its rather daunting to consider the numbers with regard to my own finished work. Geez.
Nice to see the upcoming projetcs. There is quite a bit of weathering that can be done to all of that.
@dawfydd I’m saying nuts to the company I’m working for now. I just interviewed with another that might be long hours like that but its definitely better socializing and the work environment is a hell of a lot better with regard to personalities. I think that dealing with explosives and listening to heavy metal for long hours might well be a good career change.
I think that there are too many Space Wolves in the way to see a collection of Infinity… then again after a few posts you might.
@woldenspoons I think that the sculpts for boardgames in general have benefitted from the advances in computer technology. With 3D sculpting, printing and the casting games like yours have benefitted quite a bit.
@sundancer Lol… the first thing I thought when I saw the tank was California car culture and somebody busting out with with a Mexican accent “Ey guy, (pronounced like whey), mi primo Chewie has something like that too that he just moved with”.
@crazyredcoat Crazy subassemblies tend to work for parts that end up being a pain in the posterior if not done otherwise. There isn’t anything odd about that in my book. As you pointed out the image isn’t the best but it will be quite stunning. I’m impressed with the blending and how well the edge highlight pops. Its most noticeable on the banner.
@limburger Sardine sentiments… you mean all slick and oiled against each other? Seems a little fishy to me. As far as happy thoughts, you always can come back here, vent and get hobbying support. We love you buddy.. enough to give you hell at levels to question why you do it and keep coming back…. Lol. The Banner Saga looks pretty good. I might have to pick it up. I’ll need to keep digging for more low rez requiring goodness but off to work I go overnight (Blah!).
Some musical addition of my own…
