Loving the olive green you've gone for... has a bit of a UNSC vibe to it

Great to see you getting some paint onto your great conversions!

Getting closer...

Coming together nicely

Looking good!

Still going...

Coming along nicely, I look forward to seeing these guys finished up in this scheme.

Getting there indeed, and looking sharp too. Nice work.

Cheers, guys.


In other news, I've been slowly going through and adding my old tutorials to the Dakka Articles section. You can find those that have been done so far here... I've added my chain, purity seal, wreath and skull sculpting tutorials so far, with the jetbike tutorial soon to follow... and then as soon as I get a little free time, I'll be looking at putting together a rather overdue quad bike tutorial.

Excellent. Got it bookmarked! Thanks.

Working on a little something for Gitsplitta's Mantis Maker challenge...

Is that a kitbased scout, or a bare armed marine?

Bare-armed marine. He still needs some more veteraning.

I've been posting updates for the Mantis diorama in Gitsplitta's blog, but figured I might as well chuck them in here as well for completeness' sake....

The base looks great insaniak. I am curious about the small base with the helmet on it...

You use it every time a sergeant dies? Sorta like a grave marker...

Nah, the base is just to hold it for painting....

You just missed a chance to come up with some outlandish reasoning to confuse Gits. Poor showing man.

Great base. Looks awesome. Can't wait to see the finished article

Looks great! Love the rust effect on the base.

Still going...

Greyness

Ridiculously cool.

EDC

That's a great head for the model... evil Santa.

That looks awesome!

Almost there...

Very nice insaniak. The eyes (bionic & natural) look really good.

So... Contest over (you can see the final pics over in Gitsplitta's blog, or in my Gallery), and some slight downtime to correct what I thought was escalating migraines and turned out to be a need for some fashionable eyewear... And it's time to get back into it...

It was a real joy to have you take part in the challenge insaniak, thank you so much for taking the time to make a really superb entry. Mantis Warriors never look so good to me as when someone else makes them!

Looking forward to your next projects!
