I thought Space Baulk was a GW game

Where the brave, super-human, genetically and surgically enhanced marines in Sooper-dooper Massive Armour refuse to go through the doors in supporting walls ?

edit: bugger, forgot the 'en masse' at the end

Was thinking of having a naturally formed saddle (if anything formed on a mutant can be classed as natural) upon which the mutant monkey can ride.

Mutant Monkey flashed into my head pointing a sword forward, and inevitably a large peeked cap appeared on his head!

I think I may just have to do this!

The tortoise sculpt is definately interesting. I'm kind of invisioning it with elongated humanish hands, but unfortuatly no mutant sword weilding monkey

Is this just a fun scupt or do you have some game plans for this thing?

Cheers,
Rawson

Actually it sort of is just a fun sculpt, but with Mutants and Ray Guns in mind.

Was also thinking that the mutants could be NPC's in a game of Fear and Faith as "experiments" that get let loose.

Wasn't planning on hands but you have given me an idea to have them behind the arm "armour"

mutants and rayguns sounds very interresting... simple rules are always a nice breather...

and i would love to see a charging mokey...swashbuckleing onwards to glory! nice idea...

The Songs of Blades and Heroes games are just that Vik
You can use any models you already have and the PDF downloads are cheap enough.

They are a decent game for youngsters too imho.
IOn fact if they have any Lego figures they can be used!
Have seen some great little units

lol... made my own downsize attempt at lego marines last year too^^ maybe i should get me those rules and play with my wife in the evening^^ when all the kids are asleep...i think she might rank in the lines of easy rules for youngsters^^

Lists of things to do keeps growing

Have done a little more on Sir Terence Topham the Terrorpin, and have some ideas am happy with but more anon.
ATM he has a tash and mutton chops with a very posh topper.

Have finished a few figures not to any great standard but good enough for the gametable (hopefully)
Just need to varnish and pray for some nice weather for pics.

edit. He has a top hat, not his mutton chops. That would be silly.

Oh man, that had me excited for a moment then. I can't recall the last time I saw a good set of muttonchops dressed to the nines, especially on a turtle.

Lol

Sorry to disappoint you Monkeytroll

ATM he has a tash and mutton chops with a very posh topper.

ok...i think i am a bit lost in translation here^^

so where are the pics? ^^ i know i am a bit behind in that department toobut well...asking never hurt^^

*At the moment he sports a fine moustache, has let his facial hair grow on his lower cheeks and wears a quality top-hat.

I have been informed on many occassions I am lacking in more than a few departments Vik!

The weather has not been good lately. Will try and take some photos if the light improves. But like they say round here, "Wait for the weather, wait forever!"

Good to see you back out to play Vik, hope you are feeling better.

feeling better... bit by bit^^ and i hope i can kick a can...paint can at that^^

i cross fingers for some pics, regardless of the weather conditions...tho i would make amends when you got stormy flooods...but only slightly^^

Built this Watchtower ages ago and was going to have it in a ruinous state with climbing plants but decided just to get it painted up.



















Also finished a few LoTR Elves added for scale comparison



The Elves from the partworks all those years ago that got me into this whole lark





Thanks for looking

wow...do you know that strange feeling when you just have fallen in love with shingles....? sorry usually i don´t use these here :wow but i think this expresses atm quite clear what i feel...
also i just love the toned down tones of the walls and then there are the beautiful steps!!! this is now my favorite of your´s so far! also the woodwork on the shorings is just plain cool looking...er... cool being a fully wrong term but i am speachless^^

also the bows of the elves are very nicley done and i suspect that you did those too with mainly washes?

great work and it explains the long distances between updates quite clear...(hint, hint...)^^

cheers, vik

That's a fine looking watchtower you have there Chibi.

The painting is perfect! ery impressed!
EDIT: Chibi, how have I missed this entire thread? Your terrain making is absolute art! I need to read the whole thing now! I am going to be paying special attention to your casting bits.

Hey chibs , good to see your work again mate , your painting style is so smoooooth.. the tower looks very nice and your elves rock! any chance of seeing your dwarves again too ?

Nearly finished the green for the first Steampunk Vampire Showgal, Lilac Lil:







and started the next one, who has the Acrobat characteristic:


Hopefully a few bits and bobs to follow shortly
Thanks for looking

Thanks for the kind words btw
Somehow it slipped the memory to respond

That is absolutely fantastic Chibi!

Thanks Dstein, much appreciated.

was about to commence trashing on you for not comming sooner to my thread...for months...and then what you did to our lovley leaque...and then you dish out that steamy beauty...

i know you like these kind of quotes...:

"Supper at such an hour!
My stars and garters! who would be,
To have such guests, a landlady"

amating skill...were do you kept all this work covered up for so long??? mate...you should update more often...
that pose and the dimensions of the body (no pun intended here) are fabulous! i like her attire... doesn´t seem too flimsy but i think a guy attacked by her will die a happy man^^

cheer mate! and i hope you won´t keep us too long in the dark with a next update on yours acrobatic damsel for distress^^

vik

Thanks Vik you are too kind!
TBH the whole gang was supposed to have been finished ready for half term and have only got this far :(

There are a few other bits and bobs in the wings but progress has been all too slow.

for all that know me kindness is my lowest of virtues^^ i see art i point that out... simple as that^^
but could you teach an uneducated fella why you used brwon stuff and greenstuff together? i see clearly that on some sections you only used brownstuff or miliput...whatever it is you used...a reason for that decision? also is there too a wire skeleton beneath the sculpture? and honestly i can´t wait to see the model primed... as i would love to see the finer shades of her and i think the glossy nature of the medium GS prevents that sadly...

I used paper clips for the armature inside to support the GS

TBH was experimenting with brown stuff and mixtures of GS to make harnesses for a couple of scale model aircraft on the go and then tried it out on the sculpt to see how it handles.
Brown stuff gives a crisper out line and drys harder than GS but is more brittle.
You can mix the two together to get a firmer finish than GS and not as rubbery, but not as brittle as BS

Was thinking the same thing about the priming. The different colours and the shine make it moredifficult to see but will also highlight all the things tha will need correcting!

when you say you mixed up brown stuff and GS how do you do it? mixing first GS and BS seperatly or do you mix it all in one effort with equal amounts? this is most interresting to me... as i don´t really like the rubbery effec/ touch the GS has...

and yes please prime the lady...(sounds nasty^^) as then we can really admire her...

and when you say BS is more brittle... would it crumble and break off like clay or is it still more sturdier...? never worked with that stuff... i can now say i know the limits and needs of GS so i might be open to new materials... and as it happens to be i own a box full of milliput eevn now...

Doesn't really matter ViK tbh You can mix up the BS and GS then together but as I was using small amounts it was easy just to measure the 4 parts and mix in one go.
Of course as long as you mix them thoroughly it doesn't matter.
Also I was keeping it simple and mixing 1 part of yellow/blue/white/brown

BS doesn't crumble when cured but as I found out with the seat belts it will snap whereas the GS I could bend double when cured.
I am not too keen on the rubbery effect either, especially if it needs sanding.
BS will sand better I reckon/

There is also Procreate which is sort of between the two
I made Misti mostly out of Procreate. But for some reason haven't used it since.

and primed:

Lovely work chibi, you have certainly captured that Victorian flavor.
