This project is really coming to life! You've arranged the graffiti in a really realistic way, the way the tags overlap each other. Excellent freehand work, super impressed with the moth!

I’m going to post an update soon. It’s been a crazy week. But, the voting for the LoER competition is up. If you all want to participate, it would be great. You don’t have to vote for me, but your vote would be welcome.

It's been a minute since the last update. Been a crazy couple of days. Working ~60 hours/week plus tutoring another ~10. Between that and the LoER competition finishing earlier this week, Mrs. Jazzy Jeff feels like I've been neglecting her. Probably not wrong.

I still have so much I want to do. So many more of you deserve shout outs than I've gotten to so far. But, it's going to be a bit longer until I get to the rest of you.

Thank you. I'd be amiss if I didn't include a tribute to you. Your Sculpting for the Kids thread is absolutely fantastic. I found it when I was going through a tough spot and it helped. So:

They're not done. Need some touch up around the eyes and some other little effects. But, the Square Cops make an appearance!

One other shout out of note:


Many of the little tags here and there are former winners of the LoER Challenge, and therefore members of the League of Extraordinary Riveters.
Speaking of which, the vote for the popular favorite is still up for another couple of days. If you haven't already, I encourage you to go over there and check it out. I'm currently tied for first place with Mothsniper, who did a hell of a job on his mirror-tunnel. It's truly awesome.

Glad you got some positive vibes off the project and the boy is delighted that Nop & Dop have made it to America!

Thanks for the shout out. Most sculpting for the kids has shifted into Burrows and Badgers territory these days but there's always the potential for odd requests from these two that are well worth making.

Sad to see you missed the top spot by a single vote with these. I thought you had the win for sure.

Shots of the whole squad so far. Have a pile of plastic in various stages on the bench. I hope to get some tie to finish things off.
The terrain is my biggest achievement.



The Eliminators hiding amongst the pipes, waiting for a clear shot.


Termies and Suppressors looking to lay down some firepower.


The Captain in the thick of it. Still need to make him a game legal base.


Lieutenant out front, leading the charge.


Coming up n 2021: A couple of librarians, including the long-anticipated female Librarian conversion.
A Primaris Chaplain
A Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought
Some more Reivers, Incursors, and a Hellblaster squad

Easily a dozen Gaslands cars I have cut apart, made weapons for, but not touched with a paintbrush.
And Truckasaurus/Truckzilla.

Plus, Judge Dredd Helter Skelter minis on the way.

Should be a good hobby year around here.

I love that I didn't notice your eliminators in the first two pictures until you mentioned them in the third, then I went back as saw them. It shows you painted them to do their job well.

My hobby time right now is suffering from some super ADD. I'm all over the place. Lots of irons in the fire, as it were.

Got my dreadnought primed. Hopefully it will see some paint soon.


Some other dudes, a pile of hellblaster plasma guns ready for osl effects. Plus, a glimpse at what the bench looks like.


I was going to cut up this guy for Truckzilla's arms, etc. It's an awkward build. Backwards in my head. The arms are what the legs should be and vice versa. Plus, my kid played with him a bunch years ago and lost the hands and a few other pieces.

But, then I found this cheap, cartoony looking Starscream.

I'm going to have a go at him first. I figure if I'm relatively careful, he'll have some wings and little bits I can use for some Captain Brown-esque terrain platforms.

Going to use this little forklift as a hand and claws, if I can get it to fit right.





I decided to give my Librarians gold cloaks. I have a Primaris Librarian that will be done up as an exceedingly old man.
Then I have a Battle Sister that has gotten some conversion, still needs a force stave, but will be his apprentice. A powerful psyker in his own right, he sensed her latent ability and took a chance at risking the ire of the Chief Librarian and the entire Adeptes Brisonius Chapter by bringing a young woman into the Chapter's Librarius.
The tests she underwent were exceptionally, perhaps even in some cases brutally, thorough and exacting. She passed them all. Through her exploits in battle, she has earned the esteem of her battle-brothers and none now look upon her as an outsider. Many treat her as the little sister they never had. At least, the little sister who could vaporize them with a thought. The little sister who fights at their side against the forces of Heresy and Chaos throughout the galaxies.
Would any of the Space Marines in the chapter put a bolt through your brain for even looking at her the wrong way? No. But only because she would put a bolt through your heart first.


The gold cloaks need some work, these shots are very WIP (Hence the missing heads). Not sure what to do with all the chains and relics and emblems. I have done those bits gold on the marines, but they get lost against the cloaks. I might do silver or black to look like iron or something. Does anyone have any ideas? Are there materials in the far future more rare and precious than gold?



And my chapter gets a chaplain.

Doing the paint to mimic the liturgical colors of a Catholic priest. (I happen to be Catholic). Anyway, purple is the litugical color of penance used in Advent and Lent. So, I went with purple robes since he's bringing atonement and expiation to heretics. Sometimes with his absolver bolt pistol, sometimes with his crozius arcanum, but always with immovable determination and ironclad loyalty to the God Emperor of Mankind.



This came in. Looking forward to some gaming. Maybe a couple of solo missions with a space marine to hold me over until I can actually gather and play with other people. It's just me and the wife at home, and she's not into the game. She thinks it looks cool and is happy for me, but there are too many rules and too many little pieces she can't see without her glasses.



And this arrived.

And this.

Haven't even torn the cellophane. I don't have anywhere to unbox it at the moment. I've completely buried my bench in projects, and stacked bins of Christmas decorations over much of the garage. I have to at least put the latter up in the attic before Mrs. Jazzy Jeff will let me open the box all over the kitchen table.


And finally, a coworker gave me several sheets of this. He works at another job where they make medical equipment of some kind. I must admit I wasn't really paying much attention until he described the packaging that they use to ship some of the parts. I think I can use these to make a carrying case out of a tool or tackle box or something. Anyone have a carrying case or plans for one? I'm not exactly sure how to start organizing it.



Well, that's all for now. Like I said, all over the place. I keep telling myself I'm going to focus and finish something, but then I see something else and work on that instead.

Hey, look! A squirrel!

I vote black beads with silver danglies against the gold cloth.

I've also been improvising foam carry cases out of packing foam and spare cushion foam for years. I cut slots along in lengths with a little trench above. The base slips into the slot and holds the mini in place and the trench provides a little reces to lie in. They all lie in neat rows side by side and if you have some foam on the lid to rest down on top they'll be reasonably imobile. I'll take a pick of some to show you.

Well, the white was the primer. Most of it will be covered up by other colors, so hopefully that isn't your favorite part . . .

That's my plan. Struggling to make any of what feels like progress, but hopefully I'll sit up one day with rows of neat completed figures.

Black and silver are a good idea. I don't have any "silver" paint, might have to do either nmm or go get some. Will Mrs. Jazzy Jeff be enthused about another hobby purchase?
I'd be interested in pictures. I can't seem to rap my head around what I'm doing with them.

youwashock wrote:I LIKE that Chaplain! Lots on the go, for sure. Can't wait for the Dredd stuff to have its day.


I'm looking forward to it as well. I got the garage sorted out. I told myself I would wait until I got something finished, so as not to have another work in progress. We'll see how long that determination holds out.

Theophony wrote:I saved dozens of sheets of that exact same foam from the hospital when I worked their and the scopes would be delivered.


I just couldn't pass it up.


And, The dreadnought got some paint. Not much, but a base layer counts as paint.
The Chaplain got some attention last night. Not sold on the pink stole. Well, the liturgical color is Rose, technically.
But, it's either purple or rose, they wouldn't be worn at the same time.
I think I'll make it purple with gold filigree/writing/etc.
