RL kicking the out of me at the mo. Trying to find solice in my models.

Hope things look up for you, and kick back (preferably square in the nards) when you can. I can't say I know how it feels because it's your individual experience, but I've had my own IRL moments and they took me out of the game for months at a time, couldn't even pick up a paint brush sometimes. I'm glad you are still modeling. Sometimes it's all we have.

Stupid RL.

Good job, Cam. I like the painting on the blood drops.

The bottom left one needs to extend towards the point of the spike to show the surface tension, like the other ones.

Good butt flap/banner. Nicely painted.

Thank you guys means a lot that you are out there.

I will get to correcting that Dr.

Ok so as a wee thank you, here you go, as always a critical eye please.







Thanks for looking.

That's pretty neat Cam, did you add all the leafy bits yourself?

Damn, Cam. I think you've got this skin thing nailed.

Only thing my critical eye sees is the black looks a little shiny and could maybe do with a little more definition/highlights. But I'm being very picky and finding little else.

Good job.

Hey mate! Hope alls good!

Loving the Chaos robot crusher killing monster with added butt flap! Looks awesome!!

And also the tone of the sniper there.... looks great!

Good work buddy!

Skin tone looks great , but someone should tell that nutty catchcan that jungle leaves doesn't work in the desert.

Thank you guys.

@Gits Sorry the model comes with leaves attached.

@ Theo Obviously been out in the sun too long and misses his jungle., They are obviously bay leaves left over from cooking lunch!, or maybe dock leaves carried as standard by all Catachan for their moist texture in a crisis, (ie visiting one of Dr H's latest castings.)

OK need some help.

Size/scale issue. Still working on lots of things but.....My beloved eldest son, who set me the Decimator challenge, now would like a Soul Grinder, the question I have is, I have some left overs from the Daemon Prince kit, (ie chest and some arms.) Would these be of a scale to sit on top of some legs I can make, and just how big is it? I am figuring it to be approx 6" (150mm) wide?

Anyone out there have any idea's on this I would very much appreciate it.

The legs of a grinder at dull extension occupy roughly the same footprint as a land raider. The dp torso is roughly the same sizeas the grinder body that perches atop the carapace/thorax/wtf of a defiler kit.

Thank Galorn for such a quick response, perfect mate, now to work to manufacture a bunch of legs for it.

Next sniper.







Your thoughts. Especially as i have entered Bebops Grandprix Painting comp. I totally do not expect to place, but want to have a go, so your thoughts would be gratefully recieved here.

Comp = follow banner in sig....

Wow dude! Another fantastic leap in skills! Practice = major pay off. Be super proud Cam

Agreed. Good job.

The only thing I have issue with is his eye. There seems too much green, or not enough white. But I don't know how to fix it, just looks a little like he's wearing eye-shadow at the moment...

I've only just noticed your bases for these, you've covered the sides. Makes a change. Looks good.

I told him practicing his skills would help! Nice sniper piece Cam!

Thank you guys,

@ Dr H Thanks, hows this.....

Wonderful blog - so impressed with all the conversion work, and all the paint jobs. Can't believe I've missed it for so long! Will have to catch up when I get the chance, and won't miss any future updates

Welcome Scarper, and thank you.

Yeah, that's the ticket.
What did you do?

I've had that same model kicking around for.... uhm.... ...when was it originally released?

Great job all around. I especially like the tones you used on the camo cloak.

Great work Cam. Yes i live chap. It takes a lot to kill me. I do like the colored bandannas.

AAARGH!!!!!

High winds blew my phone line on Friday night. No internet, no dakka, finally got to a wifi spot today. And finally got my phone back tonight.

So typically it had to happen on the weekend of the end of 2 comps for me. The League terrain comp, with my piece Funder Turd. And Skalks brilliant Junk Pile comp.

So I can finally put up here my pics of the Junk Pile entry.

Here you go......

WIP shots the bits...



WIP Building up.



And complete.









Thought appreciated as always.

There will be more later as while I had no internet i did do some work.

Hi guys, heres something new-ish.

So I entered yet another competition. Bebops painting comp.

And I got a little carried away......these are still wip shots. Going to add more detail.






Got another project started will get some pics up soon. In the mean time, I would really appreciate your thoughts on my trooper here. As I say he is still WIP. Got to touch up some bits and will be trying to add some more detail. Thanks for looking.

There really is no stopping you, we'll have to crown you the King of Competitions soon

Coming along nicely, will be waiting to see it finished

And congrats again in yet another comp win!

Congratulations on the competition win.

Chap is looking good. The shading on the fabric is nicely done.

He even has 5 o'clock shadow

Oo oo, is it a rat? As in, desert rats?

Well done Dr H. here you go.

Woo Hoo!
Good ol' brain. I just have to leave it alone and it comes back with the answer in it's own time...
