@Scrazza - Thanks man ^^ I can't wait to get him painted! Damn greenstuff, need to pick some up tomorrow!

@vinsal - I found minor issues with gaps, I've pinned.... everything on mine but I think with some greenstuff, I can get rid of the gaps. ^^ Oh, also, one tip is, get the mould lines off now, so when you get that idea or spark of genius for what your going to do with him, you don't have to spend 2+ hours on prep first!

Anyhow, here are some quick pictures of the Dreamer's base, there will be..... substantially more to his base, but that would be telling.

As soon as I get some greenstuff (Tomorrow) I can start the detail on the bases and when they are finished, I can start painting. It's soooo damn annoying not being able to get down to painting, but I need everything assembled for painting, as I'm using an light source painting technique.

Second, started work on Dreamer's base details, cookies if you can guess what I'm planning.

OK!



Actually, just want to say I just read through this thread for the first time, and I love what you did with that mine piece. The busted open gates especially caught my attention. Great work!

@hungryp - Thanks a lot man, it's good to know someone takes note of the little message at the end of my posts. It seems my FLGS liked the mine peice too, it's now in the display cabinet with my Malifaux models. ^^

Anyhow, quick base update, and some pics of Chompy, who looks much much better all filled in!

I love the burlesque girls. They have style

Oh and those lovely clockwork bases are awsome - added ironhalo to my favourites list

@weetyskemian44 - Thanks dude ^^ I too, love the burlesque girls, they are top priority once this 'little' projekt is finished. Also, glad you like the bases, I'm using them for my brother's Ramos (Steampunk guy) crew also.

Anyhow, another, (I'm really sorry about this, I'll get them finished as soon as I can), base update, all for now but should be finished at the latest by the end of Friday.





Anyhow, please, if you read the blog, can you be kind enough to leave a message please, even little ones are appreciated.

Well guys, I made a bit of a push today and I've finished the top of the base on Lord Chompy Bits, I've also done a bit of work on Dreamer's base, once again, cookies will be issued if you can guess what the base will be!

Also, I need some C&C on the side of Chompy's base (The faces) as I don't know if to continue them all round the base or not.

Enjoy!

looks a bit like audrey2

I like the faces on the base idea, but maybe doing it around the whole thing would be overkill?

Omg best terminator ever that poor dude being dragged around...thats classic!

like it too

Loving the models, my only critiscism is that such bold highlights may look great on the table (as they allow you to see the detail from afar) but as painting competition entries I much prefer finer highlighting, several layers etc . . . But still, some cracking work there =D

Also, your modelling skills are great too, loving the peacekeeper, admittedly the Wyrd model is great too, but your's will definitely stand out as a different model than the rest.

Lastly, whereabouts do you live. As I'm always looking for new Malifaux players to play against =p

Oshova

Hmmmm, still need to find a way to kick chompy's ass. But my Spirits of Vengeance will be bought!

Also, not bad stuff for a 14 year old.

@Anthony_D - It does a bit doesn't it! But, no, it's not going to be a giant plant!

@vinsal - Hmmm.... I think your right, so I have scrapped that idea and declared the base finished!

@Jihallah - Thanks dude, one day, one day I'll get round to painting them!

@weetyskemian44 - Thanks muchly!

@Oshova - I agree whole heartedly on the bold highlights, hopefully I should be pulling my act together and doing some more subtle blending on this model! Thanks for the rest of your comments also and I'm in the Manchester area if you want someone to play Malifaux with, we have a rather large group here.

@Nailz94 - Thanks dude and yes you do! It's been a looong time since you posted on Dakka no?

Anyhow, here are the FINAL pictures you'll ever see of Chompy's base and model without any paint (aside from primer) on them! The next update, I will FINALLY get round to start painting!

Manchester is quite a way away . . . As I live in Cambridge . . . =p

I still think that looks like a Venus Fly Trap . . . =D

Oshova

Amazing work, I'm in love with all of it.

Consider comment : left.

@Oshova - Damn! If your even up here though, just give me a PM, I'd be happy to come to town and have a game with you! ^^

@Disjointed Entity - Thanks dude, great to know you like my work.

Anyhow, here is some.... bad news. Due to a slight muck up at the shop, I was sold a Lord Chompy Bits I shouldn't have been sold, I didn't mind giving it back, but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to continue work on him.

This does however give me plenty of time for some burlesque! So, here are some pics of Collette who I've been working on in between reading Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and weeping over the unfortunate loss....







As you can see, I've gone for a bit of a ringmaster type scheme for her, hope you like it, and am looking for ideas for all the other Showgirls colour schemes as well....

If you've read the blog, please leave a comment, even a small one is appreciated!

Dammit. I would of loved to see Chompy Bits finished :(

But Colette is looking good.

Loving the ringmaster look. I've gone for as bright colours as possible for my Rotten Belles. But I'm thinking this could possibly have looked cooler =p

Oshova

Looking good. I like how Lord Chompy's base is coming out. I like the faces too, but it looks like those got nixed already. The dreamers base is looking very cool. Is he gonna be standing on the tentacle/wire thing coming out of the top?


*reading last post...*
OH NOSE!!! no more Lord Chompy? I'm sorry to hear that. It was all coming along so nicely.

Not to pry, but why would they sell you, then take back, a mini that you had already built and started to paint?

If the store flubbed and needed it back, they could have just paid you to paint it or at least let you finish.

Sorry to hear about LCB.

@Nailz94 - Indeed, tis a pity but at least I've got something to be getting on with, thanks mate. ^^

@Oshova - Thanks man, I just though.... hang on, who does she look like. Ringmaster! And I have to say, the colour scheme has gone rather well, almost too well.... I don't trust it.....

@The Good Green - Ah, indeed the faces, I just didn't like them unfortunately..... and yes, unfortunately no more Chompy, sorry about that dude, but a massive thanks for the input!

@vinsal - No problem dude, to be fair, it was more an employee of the shop basically got a couple got from Gencon through the shop (Not exactly sure how this worked), but the Chompy I got, was basically reserved for someone else. Also, it was sold to me by a different guy in the shop from the employee who'd ordered them in, so the guy I actually bought the model from didn't realise.

The reason I couldn't finish is because the guy who's Chompy Bits it was, wanted to paint it, and I didn't want to be a total arse and go, 'no I don't want to give it back and I want to finish painting it' I figured the best way was to be polite and nice about it.

But the guy who ordered them in is putting a copy of the bad dreams box set put behind the counter for me when it's released as way of a thank you, so expect to see that soon.... and it stands to reason that I could.... practice my greenstuffing by making the standard Lord Chompy just a wee bit bigger.

Anyhow, quick update, here is some warrior priest, enjoy!



Looking for some C&C on this guy, as he's going up for sale when finished.

Wow i really like the basing you did earlier, gives the model a more complete look even if its only primed
