i know you showed me misty before but heck she is lovley! must be said more often^^ procreate i have heard of...
just had a quick look and http://www.kraftmark.biz/pdfs/ProCreate/Pro.infoSheet.pdf
acording to that pdf it is THE stuff for sculpting...hmmm always good to have something to consider for next suplies to be collected...^^

and i too hate to sand GS it ruins the look in my opinion... sure you can always add a thin layer or just prime and forgett about it but well there is sucha thing as ruining once apetite by the look of the thing^^

According to bebopdrums the Procreate is the shizz-at too.
oh and @Chibi..>Rivets rivets rivets rivets. Thank you

shizz-at

whut??? sorry i am at a loss here...

lol, it's slang, sorry. It means the "stuff" or the "best" lol

i looked it up just now and i think the answer i got sums that up...^^ thanks mate!

Looking forward to seeing the acrobat - your other sculpts look great

If you create an armature/blank I would be interested (especially if you did a 54mm or 72mm version ).

Wooh, nice sculpting Chibi

How many of these steampunk vamps are you planning?

For starters there will be four Vamps and a henchman.
That will be followed by my gang of vampire hunters.

Misti is the mature vampire and can transmute into an immaterial form hence the version of Misti above.
She will also have a corporeal human form.

Then there three junior vampires Lilac Lily, the acrobat and a can-can dancer knicknamed rather unimaginatively Kiki Quan-quan.
They come equiped with pistols and knives. Though we will probably have a couple of equivalents, such as Kiki's lethal butcher boots of pointy steel toes.

Furthermore all vampires can transform into bats so each will also have a bat sculpt.

It all seemed a good idea at the time!

As you can see Silver you may have to wait for an armature

Dstein, you will probably see rivets on the terrorpin as I am thinking cast iron carapace with reinforcing bars rather than a naturalistic shell.

Thank you all for the words of encouragement, they do mean a lot.

Oh Meant to also say that therer could be more showgal vamps in the offing but there is a lot to be doing already but the acrobat theme could spin off into artsculpts if I can get the energy going. But then again it could fade away as the next butterfly flutters by

yep i know that pain... i am a slave to every creative whim of my imagination...

oh and what i read here it is still a good idea... just lots and lots and many hours of work...darn... RL...get in line...

Also need to paint up some Freebooters Fate figures
Have ordered a set of Relics Britanans in a can while there was 20% off
Have some delicious Red Box minis to make an adventurer party for Songs of Blades and Heroes
Umpteen terrain bits and pieces and bigger stuff
I should be painting on canvas
and on and on the list grows ...

i always mused about the relics britanans... but i have way too much stuff already... tho these little fellas look very nice...
will be interresting how you do them justice...

seems you need more brushes as this is a big amount of pinting to be done by you...

Have already started a blister pack Vik (another unfinished job)
Know what you mean, I could quite happily fritter a way a fortune on the miniature goodness out there (if I had a fortune to fritter) but one has to draw the line on games.

Can honestly say the Britanans are really nice indeed.
Will be posting as soon as I get the little blighters sorted.

This is Boggarty Bill the Boggart with a brocolli bum








He lives in wetlands and his scales are buds that can transform into local flora. A master of camoflauge the cowardly, but vicious Boggart can sneak up on his victims unaware of his presence until they find they are being dragged into the black cold waters and having their throat skiced open with his dagger like claws!

Boggarty has been rushed a little as he is for a special game of Hero Quest on Thursday, with one of the kids writing and mapping the scenario.
He has to be varnished so want to give 24hours for the varnish to dry. Hopefully I can finish the base tomorrow too. But otherwise he is good to thwart the doomed adventurers drawn to his damp domain by the promise of booty, and maybe a lollipop or two!

Holy Floral Elemental batman!

serioulsy... yuck! he looks like he is some special ops for nurgle...

is that too totally sculpted by you? i´d say i love it...but that would be a bit too far going^^ he looks still yucky ...but i guess in a good way^^

A fine faerie fellow flowing through flora freely.

"frough"...wasn´t that the slang version on london slang?

The boggart is more of a northern chap iirc
Thanks chaps
Sorry he is so yucky Vik. He is all my own work. No point trying to blame someone else!

well yucky doesn´t mean in the same tone that i don´t like him... he just looks like he could use some cosmetic attention in a hurry...but i guess the lady would no sooner treat him than lock herself up ^^

lol
I don't like him, sneaky 'orrible bugger!

Since everyone else seem to be posting toys and miscellaneous bits here is my Matchbox 1/72 Grumman F9F Panther I am working on to get back into kit building
Am building it out of the box but decided to replace the token bamg seat with a scratch built effort





The old Matchbox kits came in two or three colours of plastic, depending on the series. Bit crude by today's standards but generally this has gone together pretty well

Nice job on the seat.

Have you re-scribed the panel lines on that grumman?

that is a cloth peg...holy...that must be so tiny...wow... and then this amount of detail....

the plane... is it a fictious design or an actual used one? looks a bit sifi to me...

Nope Actual type Vik one of the first USN carrier born jets.
I really like the design and am tempted to get the new Hobbyboss kit. Looks really sweet to me.
and yup that is a clothes peg

Thanks Monkey, and a good spot! This kit had raised panel lines. Matchbox are notorious for huge overscale trenches! Prefer rescribe than fill the trenches tbh
Will need to re rescribe a few lines due to sanding but getting close to primer stage.

Starred in the film, Bridges at Toko-Ri


Set in the Korean War.

am i guessing right that the mini still needs some deatils at the front of the wings? looks like vents there in the vid

That is correct Vik
The intakes and wing fences are now on. The intakes were a poor fit but should be okay after a bit of filler
The Wing fences were thinned down to make them more to scale but that meant a gap of about 1mm, so more filler needed.

ah ok... have you chosen on a paintscheme? classic or a more fetching style?

It will be pretty much like the one in the film clip
Overall dark sea blue I think it is called
Which reminds me I need some paint!
The other scheme is for the Blue Angels display team But I fancy a full load out with rockets and bombs.
(probably unrealistic but, hey, who is asking? )

you know the dakka rule... this means by clever deduction the fist one will be all (h)armless?

I hate raised panel lines!

Blue Angels are a aerobatics display team so not even any pylons
have drilled the holes already for the underwing stores
