i saw recently in a tv show where they used cornflakes for special details for make up...

Cornflakes, Rice, and Cling wrap/Paper towel are all used from time to time. Facial makeup was not part of the design spec. I believe there is intended to be acquisition of a helmet at some point though.

a yeah... a helmet would make wearing this costume a bit easier... (i personally hate wearing makeup...)

Great Armor! is this your first LARp armor you've made?

The NOVA base is cool, but I don't understand how an aemy can be displayed..no flat spots?

Is the larper also the guy with the display board? That would be awesome, specially if he mounted some of his figs on his suit

It sorta is the first larp armor I've made. It's based on hockey pads though so there was VERY little heavy lifting involved. More of a reskin than a total fabrication.

AS for the army display you shall see... (the mountain is hollow.)

That would be sweet. but the display board is for a different customer.

F ally got n a game of bloodbowl, the frosty mugs are only partly painted, but since they are on your bases I thought I'd show them off in your thread if that's alright.



Hopefully that helps show off the beer cave bases, I think al Capone would be inspired.
I'll post finished paint jobs in a decade or so when I get painting again.

Fine by Me, I took a bunch of pics of the things I've gotten done recently... but they are all quite blurry and I'll need to retake em... probably tomorrow...

Pics as promised.... and not even blurry ones this time.

Id image it doesn't mix but brush.

Ive landed another Display board comission... thisone is Sans paint... SO I'll only be covering planning and construction of the display board.

Here is the client approved Sketch for the display board.

Aesthetic will be near and dear to my heart... Industrial trenches!!! (I'll be designing a set of tiles for this one...)

the lines are supposed to be the trenches then?.... this will be a big one then!

 Viktor von Domm wrote:

Yep Its a Full display board... Work to Commence once I receive payment. (that is the concept and Planning Sketch as approved by the potential client.)

On to Pics!!!

Yep. Sure will be.

WIP Wasteland bases

Well there's something I wouldn't have thought of. Look pretty good as rocks.

Yep. Ive just gotten home. I've added sand to the wasteland bases... I'll get pics up sunday. We have a fair amount of cleaning to do to dig out from our frenzied departure... nothing a that a few hours of labor won't fix though.

i see.... you broaden your horizons with that new base range... nice idea!... lots of options for schemes to use with these!

That is the Idea... Also they are actually an intermediate step for a design set like the Outpost bases are.

Small setback... spent the day in the.ER getting treatment for back spazams and soft tissue inflammation... bleh... one day down the.drain...

Dude, I e been there before as well. Take care of yourself, and get better soon.

Must be from lifting that golem costume.

ouch... taking care of ones back should be a school course... (mind you... mine is stiff already... but whenever I do something about it I get headaches like skyscrapers...)

also... the lil odd skull here and there looks very nifty...

and do we get to see a pic of the golem in use someday? that would be cool...


and looking forward to your works on the trenches... didn´t knew you planned on casting such stuff... but probably a very wise business idea!

Hope you feel better soon man!

Heh. That would actually possibly make sense... no the trigger this time was slumping on our 20+year old sleeper sofa. (Now I'm really certain it needs to go. It no longer offers any substantial amount of backsupport and is a potential hazard for me unless I'm very careful...)

Yep the costume apparently worked pretty well but will need some tweaks for best fit. I'll try and get some user pics at that time

Thanks dave. Me too. Being effectivly stuck in bed is rather dull.

Well hopefully I'll be able to get back to making stuff by tomorrow.. I can now bend, but I cant lift things that are mare than a pound or so without getting load warnings from my back... It is so aggravating not to be able to do things that are both simple and straightforward on ones own...

Well I hope your up and about soon. I plan on putting you to work.
