i am, i just keep forgetting to ask you which squads get which numbers?
that was a small detail that i forgot to ask about. sorry.

I think you need to choose the squad numbers ... you have the full list. Doesn't really matter as long as it is in keeping with the theme.

BTW, do I get the cleats too?

ok, thats sounds good to me. so im going to do small roman numerals, if thats good with you.

and sorry, those are mine.

ok, i am at the beach this week for spring break!
i am getting some progress, but it slow because, well its the beach, so
i will attempt to get some pics up tomorrow.
still waiting on some of dakka to give me some constructive criticism!

cheers,
jetjetex

finally another update! well i am so close to being done with the last squad, but not done yet, i still have to do the metal on 1 of them and then the shading on another and that will about tie them up.
my goal is about a squad per week, give or take a day. so i hope to get through this in a month and a half. give or take a week or so,
so this is the squad that i have mostly finished,
and also my prized venerable dreadnought that i hope to enter into the gd this year, and i know it still needs a little work that should be done by then.

cheers,
jetjetex

apologies for the blurry pics, my camera hesitates before every picture.

I like your work, seems like your getting the job done, and to a good standard. Don't get too down about people not posting anything. Some you get loads of comment and posts, others you don't get a sniff. Not even a bitter criticism. So keep it up duuuuude!

oh one quick note, those the pics are clear, they could be a tiny bit clearer, but then it could be my screen.

thank you! im not too concerned with people not caring, if they dont want to then thats their choice. but thank you, i do try to keep it to a good standard.

They look nice but the pics are a bit blurry. Are all the helmets black? Some look gold as do some of the weapons. I'm pretty sure that's not Flesh Tearer colors. I'm guessing it's the lighting. The poses look good.

As far as I can see, the Dread is amazing!

We can tell that the dread is probably amazing! But we cant see it properly because of the blury pictures :/ Id suggest getting a little tripod to prop you camera on, and if you really have to hold the camera, always use BOTH hands to hold the camera while taking a photograph.
Another trick is to use the delay settings if your camera has them, it helps to remove the slight movement of the camera you get from pressing the button.
Hope this helps!!!

yes, it does help, thank you. and as for the blurry pics, i think i fixed the setting so i will try to get some more pics up this afternoon of the squads and the dread, plus my new wip iron clad dread. which is going great!
and thank you for all your comments and criticism. it is greatly appriciated.

cheers,

Its taken a while but here's another update!
i have almost completly finished the squads. i have to do the assault squad then the shading on the ML then they will be done. then onto basing them
then sending them on their way.
so here they are. plus i have my GD entry in the works. and some tests on the masterclass scenics from secret weapon miniatures,
which i can say are freakin awesome!
so enjoy!

lol I love this reply to the thread, since they are yours.

the blending on the dred is fantastic.

They look so good from what I can see, but TBH i don't think your camera is doing them justice.

And that is exactly what i plan to do felix cat! i really dont want to take any longer, cause i can tell you might be getting a little impatient.
and yeah, im my opinion they really dont give it justice...
I got a little more progress, but not enough to post an update tonight, but i am so close to finishing.
i will post an update tomorrow night. so i hope to get 2 full ones done by then.

until then,
jetjetex

camera is dead so i cant post pics of where im at but i can say that from where i am its about 2-3 days. still behind schedule but catching up.
sorry felix... i'm gettin there bud!

here's the update on the squad. just one more afternoon of work and that will be it... (other that the missile launcher highlights... ugh)
i also have the realistic mud on the display base and i need to decide if i want to use realistic snow on it also...
so here is the test with the snow and there is the finished mud(its lacking a little water that i will apply tomorrow after it dries.
so thats about it.

cheers,
jetjetex

Loving your work, especially the dread, keep it up!

just thought I might let you know, that the tardis has only 2 windows on each side...

Hahaha, thanks, and yeah i realized that after i painted it. XD... so now my friend is stuck with a 4 windowed tardis.
Also, i have gotten some progress on the assault squad. and will be posting on that at the end of the day.

its been a while because due to an unfortunate series of events has led to a complete halt... all my brushes are screwed so i need complete new ones.
so i am putting an order through for some new brushes, but that will take 3 days to get here, so im apologizing to felixcat for yet another screw up on my part, so sorry felix. I put the order through about an hour ago so i hope to get them by tuesday. i have almost finished. all the shading on the assault squad is done except metal highlighting, so im attempting to not freak out, because i was supposed to be done on monday.

so until tuesday,
cheers

Honestly, IMO if they were my models i wouldn't be worried, as long as you communicate, and running a blog is probably the best form of this.

I agree!

No problem. Just looking forward to getting them. Ship as soon as they are ready. I'm fine with all the work you have done.

I swear... the usps is getting worse and worse. i finally got my package today that was supposed to be here at the beginning of the week...
but i am litterally almost done, i have everything except squad markings and basing and missile launcher shading.
the three easiest things.
i will be posting an update with pics on monday, due to being out of town tomorrow. and i hope to be done tuesday.
so thats about it.
And felix, try to include the money for lemartes in the post with everything else. thanks.

cheers,
Jetjetex

And felix, try to include the money for lemartes in the post with everything else. thanks.

Just PM me your paypal and I'll send money for lemartes and for shiipping the first lot. And we need to figure out what the balance will be too after models, cash sent etc. When I see thew work up close - I'm sure it will be fine - I'll ship more models. In groups - so I can play something before December! Just kidding. Gald the first lot is almost done. I'll send ASM, DC and some priests next. Maybe 30 models.

Well, its been a while... and i have gotten alot of work done, i finished the commission a week ago and shipped them out, but the commissioner decided to cancel the rest of the commission.
So im stuck painting my own stuff. im working on my ironclad dreadnought and renegade ogryn. i hope to get pics up after exams are over at the end of the week.

cheers,
jetjetex
