Thanks, guys! I appreciate the encouragement!

Seems like everyone is in agreement. I guess I need to scare up a different reference pic and have another go. Thanks for the input!

As of now, all of my SW side project stuff will be here:

Looking forwards to see what you decide on here, all three have great potential.

Thanks, J-paint!

and your motivation sounds good...

Hmm, I don't really have anything else. I hope I can just you with my mad painting skills

Thanks, Butchy!

What scale though? A 28mm KV Tank would still look kinda pitiful vs anything in 40k. Guess they might stretch out the proportions or make it closer to 1/48 or even 1/35

Interesting....Very interesting.... We'll have to see where this goes...

always a good strategy^^

Kinda wished that the turret was surrounded more by the tank chassis itself. Seems to me like it just sticks up waiting to get slammed in the face with something awful.

wait my ass..I want one!

Catching up and checking in. Really like the Astropath, and the Commissar is excellent! I *really* like what you are doing w/ both of those. Excellent work as always.

Hey man long time no see. Good to see small updates I really think that tank turret would look awesome for your vosts. As to the sw thing eh, I sm not really sure where to go. I really like the white scar take on them. Since the scars have a mongol feel to them you could always do crazy oriental stuff with them and maybe add horses or something. Really haven't gave this a lot of thought. Any way it's gonna look good no matter what you decide, on the bright side revamping minis is an awesome way to see how far you have come as a painter.

either way on to the awesome that is Rawson

hey rawson,
thought i'd check up on you to see how your ladies are doing. hope all is well with you. do you know when your going to have time to post your guys or is it still on hold?

Thanks for checking in, Bama! The ladies are doing well and I find myself having to resist the "overly-excited-parent" urges to inform the whole world about the little things she does (e.g. she rolled over for the first time this morning!) For me it's , for everyone else it's .

The Firstborn are still on hold, though I am collecting the bits to make my two hydras (especially now that GW released a bunch more flyers ). I was growing a bit tired of that project, and the Diversionary Space Wolves didn't really grab my attention, so I'm cooking up a new project. Stay tuned for that!

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude! You just had a firstborn and you play first born.. its a conspiricy man! and you apart of it!

Rogue Wolves wrote:Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude! You just had a firstborn and you play first born.. its a conspiricy man! and you apart of it!

She doesn't have a moustache, otherwise she'd fit right in

dude thats really cool she rolled over!
yea i know about needing a diversion, have you tried making some small pieces of terrain? thats a good diversion.

congratz to the first rollover... my kids both used to be very nimble when it comes to keep their head up and looking at the world... they used to lay on their tummies and kept their heads for minutes up and looked this way out of their pram... peeps were very surprised to see them peeking out of that^^

so yes... i am not boared easily by baby talk^^

I can't seem to find it but what is your paint recipe and steps for your tanks?

Primer black (kind of a pain, but I think it's worth it)
Dheneb Stone Foundation ( leaving black in the recesses)
Kommando Khaki
Bleached Bone highlight

I hope that helps!
Thanks for looking

I was just wondering but did the commissar ever get a coat of paint its just areal shame not to see the finished concept.

I was so looking forward to this being finished

Well have a good holiday mate and look forward to your return with tales of the new world and updates of your stuff of course

The Danish flag is a trick: I'm actually American.

I'm from Seattle, which is where I am now. Quite comfortable. However, first stop was San Antonio (98 degrees) and then to Phoenix (118 )
