Nicely done Ramos! she really is a massive unit isn't she, you did a brilliant job considering the time you needed to have her finished by and there is so much detail you seriously could spend 12 months doing the details justice, I know what it's like with the reaver and she's smaller!!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone

@graven: Yeeeeah, I had some minor issues with that bit of the decals. The clear coat underneath seems to have warped a little bit... Maybe oil from the resin leaching out? Hopefully thats the only issue the big girl has...
Seems to only be noticeable in bright light... And in super close-up pics!!

But seriously... I dont know if my mind can handle painting another of these... Emperor help me painting a dozen!
(Totally up for trying, though... just sayiiiiiin =P )


@moonpie: Wow, thank you! Very kind to say
Gotta say, though... Were I to do a project like this again, there are a few elements I say the others utilize that I would want to totally use. LED lights and a bluetooth speaker!!





Anyways, in the queue are a few Guildball figs, a pair of Infinity armies, some DnD minis... I've got a good mix of stuff coming down the pipe

Ramos, the Titan really turned out amazing. You should be extremely proud of that model (notice I didn't say miniature, as that thing is anything but!). All the work you put in was well worth it. I only wish I could have gone to Adepticon and seen it in person.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/1/23, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~15000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Adeptus Custodes: ~1900 | Imperial Knights: ~2000 | Sisters of Battle: ~3500 | Leagues of Votann: ~1200 | Tyranids: ~2600 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000

Haha Thanks Zerg- It was certainly a new experience... Taught me a whole lot and really was a blast to paint!!
And hey, you may yet get to see it in person. After all, WM's gotta get some use out of it, and what better way than to bring it to the annual Titanicus games?



I still gotta do my AC recap... Hum, Ill try to hash something out here in the next coupla days.
Anyway, the Wardens do a better job than me as far as recaps go. Why dont ya go check out the recap page here?

======================


So I've been busy catching up with my regular 9-5 job this past week, as well as doing admin work for the commission business. With the big guy out of the way, I needed some time to clean up and reset the ol' schedule.

Did a bunch of assembly for the next series of projects-

Army of Infinity Pan-O



A Boba Fett for the same client:



A pair of new minis for On The Lamb:



I even got some of my Alchemists built up... Lots of big guys in this batch.

Those On the Lamb models look really nice. They have definitely been getting some much better sculptors in the past two years or so.

That titan is sick, man, I love it. What a challenge it must have been to approach something so large with that attention to detail, I'd love to try something huge like that one day.

Looking forward to the next batches!

Thanks guys!

The skin is a new technique I'm trying out- Would you believe that its based in a dark olive green?
Over that it's the base skin, then several glazes of purples and light skin.



After one hell of a work week, Infinity continues- Painted in the red!

Wow... So I kinda disappeared a while...

I think I actually hit a bit of burnout, so took some time off... Should be getting back to normal operations around here soon, though.



I finished up the Infinity stuff, and this was part of the reason I got so burned out- I ended up shipping these off really quick and didnt check my studio photos... This was a mistake!
As it turned out, most of my pictures were out of focus slightly!

Nothing I can do about it now, except move on and use an actual camera next time!


















































Also painted up a Boba Fett from Imperial Assault:





=========================


Next project on the desk is Cabrakan from Dark Age-
Fun little mini. Client asked for a base that gives the impression he was chained down and is breaking free, so I popped some small jewelry chain on him and his base.











===================

@Dave- Yes indeed- All the details on these guys are freehand in one way or another!




Oh hey... and anyone notice we got new orkmoticons?

Thanks, guys!

Yorkright: The reds are actually super simple- just a ton of layers! I think the real key to it is the darkest color I use for the base- Darkest is Burgundy Wine from Reaper- Its a suuuuper dark red. Adore the stuff!

=========================

So after some minor airbrush trouble, I spent most of the day working on Cabrakan-







I also was in a bit of an assembly kick, and got a future project built up. Its an infinity army (funnily enough, from a friend of the white/red army's owner), and is slated for a rather unique color scheme, but Ill get to that later!

Stunning work all round sir, that first Infinity group are truly stunning work, no wonder you have more from that direction. That Cabrakan fella looks awesome, really huge and brutish, great start.
