well storag, your alien design is very weird,different,and cool.. but i agree that your humans are a bit average... i'd say try to work the weirdness of your Fabaceae into your humans.. and then you will have em perfect!

at ish.... LMAO....

Thx RW, I have waaay to learn about drawing, but that really helps to shape out ideas before tring do make them.

Soooo hello out there folks! I'm not bringing anything of my own in da house today, but that doesn't mean there no pics Quite the contrary actually!

I've been walking around town with my wife when I stumbled upon THIS:



It took me some time to realise what I'm looking at and then I rushed inside to take a closer look. It appeared that this shop deals in cardboard models by some new company from my town and that was the first time in my life when I was acually proud by something made in Russia!
The best thing about their products is that they mostly do terrain and in our favorite scale! Thus I couldn't help but to share my excitement with you fellas I have to say that I'm generally no big fan of cardboard and prefer more durable materials for my projects but in this case I desided to give it a try and bought this:



So here are pics of what I assembled:





















Check out the detail, all those little doors, ladders and such, they are just... cute! The textures are bumpy so you can actually feel all the bricks with your fingers. BTW, no cuts and no glue needed, and this set costs around 8 bucks

Here is a link to their web site, don't know whether they have an english version but you just have to click the pics

Hope you liked my little review here, cheers!

thats cool storag! nice little find you got there!

well feeling proud about your fellow countrymen is fully justified...

from what i could see... highly detailed terrain sets... and even vehicles too... that is something that should be portrayed for the wider public... not the mere followers of your thread...tho getting that stuff to be shipped worldwide will probably take some pain...

Glad you liked it guys, I'll write a letter to them and make them aware of the intrest out there =)

PS
I'm going to order this one soon, seems perfect for 40k based games

i duno if dave is subscribed to your thread... but this could interest him... drop him a line of this company too...

and that cathedral looks very cool...

Ohh Yes I am!! VEry badass indeed!

I would LOVE to have one of ALl of those sets, I know my Uncle would love a complete set too! Of course then I'd get a burr up my but to redo it all in Plasticard, and well...you know what happens then...

It is an instant Mordheim table. Holy cow. Looking over their entire site (thanks to my smidgen of Russian and Google Translate), you should be VERY proud of this company.

Although, I'm amused that you're allowed to specify the gender of a person, in a help wanted ad (see their jobs/careers section) in their country.

well everywhere in europe you are allowed to search for specific genders for jobs... often it is due to the sort of job... here in europe you don´t have PC so often....

oh and CV´s have pictures of you too...

Briancj, our employment laws are messy at best =( This is a huge problem really but I won't bother good folks here with descriptions of how insane life in Russia is =/
And those sets are really fast and easy to assemble. It took me about 10 minutes to do this one and I was very relaxed )

My god... So beautiful. I want the cathedral. Do they ship to the U.S.? I can't see an English option on their site. What is the price on the cathedral? Their stuff is brilliant.

Can you take a picture with a mini for scale?

2 Rabid Ferret
It's price is around 40 bucks, but it seems they don't ship it worldwide yet =/ However they do have a wholesale (not sure if it is a right word for massive orders for foture re-sale?) option and an e-mail: umbum@umbum.ru, so if you know a nice local hobby store that would take intrest in distributing their stuff I'm sure they can arrange a deal.

I know, I work for a Swiss company, and they are very male-centric. It pisses off American women all the time.

As I continue with my slow pogress here is a new version of the eggvolver blaster, hope you'll like it better that the pevious one




Sorry for crappy pics.

compared to your earlier work... yes it looks way better... not to be confusable at all with any massagetools any more

tho i hope for your that the barrel of that gun/blaster is not too frail...it is quite delicate in detail tho...


what´s with the new avator?

It's sturdiness entirely depends on the plastic we'll use. In MS it's not very tough.

The avatar is a re-paint of some "Bluntman" artwork. Friends tell that I look like a taller version of Kevin Smith =)

And fatter
Sorry, bro, I could not miss it

a taller version...lol... but the same width? lol...

and yes... MS probably is a bit tricky... but surly you have a paperclip inside?

@ Ish
I would not even comment on this mockery... ups, I just did.. =)

@ El Vik
No, not that width, but just as bearded =) BTW no paper clip inside, all the clips are thicker than needed =\ This gun is really tiny

This gun is really tiny

that´s what she said... sorry after ish latest reply i couldn´t help it...

and i see... tho not even floral wire... well that must have been quite a complicated work... more credit to your talent tho!

LOL.... back at you^^

Welcome back to school, sigh...

Hi guys, while I'm working tooth and nail to complete some things that should have been done long ago, I have a bunch of teaser pics for you . This is, as obvious, my take on SMs. Just a begining, but I hope it to be a whole set of themed armor at the end.







Your opinion on this one?

nice looking.... what chapter will this be for? i expect it is some custom chapter? have you something matching planned for the shoulderpads as well?

The whole armor will be heavily modified. Shoulders as well. I don't plan any chapter atm. I just have an idea for an armor set and I'll try to pull it on. I'm not even close to completion with the chest. This skull is just a first step.

well it is looking good already... with the big fangs it reminds me a tiny bit of the mantis
