*shrug* possibly. I fancied something a bit chunkier this time. Also, gratuitous butt shot:

What kind of cars do you have?!

you wouldn´t believe it whale

i like the plate... its from the baneblade kit, right!...that gives quite an impressive look!

I imagine he has a VW camper - or possibly a tricked out rally car.

or both...

besides, I like the idea of my space Chiquitas having big headlights

Speaking of which, this is the build post tomato paste tube scrollwork:


and for gitsplitta's enlightenment, further tube tool illustration:

A neat gadget. The other one will need to be covered in them! good advice from Casey was not to use Vaseline (you have this in Americanland? it's basically rendered whale fat in a tin) but just make sure the gs is moist.

hey ho,
graven

Oh yes, we have Vaseline... but the generic name for it is petroleum jelly... so I don't think whales are involved in it's manufacture.

Oh behave!!!
Tomato tube really makes excellent scrolls

I know, just seeing if I could confuse a colonial

and yeah, neat huh?

I just love being called "a colonial"... it's so... cute!

^ Dare I suggest we are being a tad insincere?

Hey graven, I didn't know if you wanted us to post our progress here or not... but I thought I'd show one intermediate image at least. Still a long way to go, but at least at this point you can see where I'm going with it.

he somehow reminds me a bit of these:



the stubble looks very good git!

Very cool indeed! I really like the veining, personally. And yes, absolutely post WIPs here.

You may have noticed the addition of bewb. I'm not a fan of cheesecake per se, but I just think it fits in this cake. Also, SoB should be female. Just common sense.

tentacles and bewbs... what has this thread become to...tstststs...

Good tube work. Looking forward to seeing these painted.

Yep, the clue is in the naming...

I know the wiring is very tentacular.

Thanks - Me too trying to have them dine for panda's contest. I feel bad for pulling out of the league's one but time and space and decorating/building work in house means I'm going to be very time and space limited.

Lovely stuff! I love how each tank has it's own character. Update on my comp entry as soon as I can.

Well, guess who JUST found out about the re-purpose contest? It is a small matter as I've got enough time to enter a completed piece. I'll get started on this tonight providing nothing stupid happens. I already have a couple ideas in mind and know where the bitz are. I'll be back ASAP.

You still have time to turn in something awesome.

@Casey thanks mate. I really should sort them :(

@Skalk fantastic news! good to have you aboard.

some progress on the bad, bad girls:

Duck Tails .... Please ?????? @ Graven They have been Cthulhued???

Ok lost me there?! though they are quite tentacular.

Cthulhu has tenticales around his mouth ..

That I got, it was the duck tales that confused me...

Leave it to graven... THE TEACHER... to bring Hentai to dakka!

I'm in:



Demagogue of Nurgle.

This model has no GW bitz at all. The base if from a Warzone miniatures set, the skull pad arm is from a company I cannot remember, the torso is made from a power armor backpack from a from another company I cannot remember (which is the same company as the blue legs and two different arms to create the upper and lower left arm). The cloak is a Ral Partha bit from an Elven archer set. The detached arm is a Power Maul conversion I made from a Power Sword arm from the same model as the blue legs and a Grenade Launcher from Demon Forge. The Bolter in the right arm is also Demon Forge. A little GS to bulk the model up for some Nurgle goodness and I'm all set for my first official WIP shot.

More info on the how / what so far is on my Random Projects thread.

Grand! That's the spirit.

So, so far we have:
Ryanroberts (PIP)
Llamahead (Complete)
storag (WIP)
Viktor Von Domm (WIP)
Gitsplitta (PIP)
Casey's Law (WIP)
Skalk Bloodaxe (WIP)

With myself and briancj judging. Not too bad a showing, all in all.

Vik posted a pict from duck tails

that was because of gits number tag on his servitor ...together with its beard stubble it reminded me of these cronies^^

Tube metal for scrollwork..Brilliant!
