first attempt at a tree?!? Wow this is the best first attempt I've ever seen... its one of the best attempts period, it actually looks like a tree and not wire, good job spartan

Agreed, the tree is great, but paper mache seems like a PITA, I know LGS works (but can get expensive)- have you thought of just using modelling putty? Squadron green or white would cure to workable in 30 mins or so.

Tree's cool TS.

How will you make all the gnarly old wood patterns on its trunck? I think those should really be in 3D IMHO just painting them on won't quite cut it...get it...*cut it*...TREE?!...Hoho oh lord, what a joker! I scare myself so times!

Thanks shas, vik, galorn and cheese =)

Haha good idea deciever, might not add a victim but some caps or a cola might help to link it to the fallout universe

Thanks RW =) I really thought it would be hard but with a bunch of garden wire you can just twist and the shape of a tree is pretty simple to make.

Ghost i have been struggling to find a way to model the knobbly bark texture. I have started to use toilet paper, paper-mache which makes lots of little ridges and folds, If I can get them to be mostly parallel with the trunk or branches i think I will have the texture I need, because I agree it would be extremely hard to get a good looking effect just using paint.

Dave thats a good idea, might try putty next time, (I don't currently have any). Also I didn't realise what PITA stood for, so I looked it up in wiki which linked me to this page

lol... and i thought pita was spanish

learnd something today^^

Sorry for long update hiatus

1st Slave painted. I name him Hammer

And another:

"Shiv"


Cheers for looking =)

Awesome! I'm inspired... thought about making some robots?

Thanks Dark Apostle =)
I had thought of robots but I couldn't find components to make them out of easily. There are nice Brother Vinni models, but I like converting.

Here's the last slave "Shovel"



And all three:

AWESOME work on the Deathclaw, sir. The slaves are very characterful too and I like your recent terrain work.

I lurk here a great deal but I rob you of your well deserved comments - so good stuff! Keep it up, it is making me dither about whether to update my logs with random gangers!

cool slaves spartan, and while that brother robot is amazing i dont doubt you can make one just as cool

yeah man... those slaves are awesome looking... specially the last one...any chance you could spoil us with some WIP of these three? the chains on the middle one...from what set are these?

Thanks Jihad I appreciate your comment =) I know I often lurk to much as well. And hell yeah add some random gangers for spice every once in a while =)

Also cheers RW and Vik,

I only have this WIP pic of the slaves. They are mostly a mix of flagellant and zombie parts, the chains are from the flagellant set.






Also while I'm here might as well show how I've been distracted from Fallout minis. Repainting and remodeling miniatures from my early hobby days.

First up are Kroot. These are just a sample to show the quality of the old paint job.


Stripped in dettol, and remodeled:


"Shield"


"Scope"



Hope you don't mind the deviations =)

I like the new kroot, especially the warpaint - they're not quite fallout, but they're still good

Teenage Mutant Ninja Kroot!...That's what that paint scheme sings to me!...xD...They're awesome looking by the way! Subbed! Loving what you're doing with your minis!

Haha drazul thats what my gf said too. Might have to make a shaper from skaven bits =D

Cheers Apostle warpaint was fun to do =)

OK! Shut it down! =( and i was having so much fun making fallout stuff


Well I've got other ideas...


like......

Spoiler:

RANPOG! The cyborg killing machine!

3 Arms = 360° Attacks!
And his head is a gun for optimal aiming capabilities!

I think I'm gonna try putting in LED lights for his eyes what do you guys think?

Hey, just finished reading through this thread and I really want to know where those swords came from.

Edit. Also you make me want to try making my own Fallout models. But I fear to because I can't paint half as well and have little green stuff skills.

Hahaha didn't think that guy would interest anyone. The arm which is holding the back sword is from the catachan troops sprue, and the front sword is from the catachan command sprue.

Take a look at the first page all my minis were just kit bashed without the use of any green stuff. You can have lots of fun converting with just mashing 2 sets together like the catachan and chaos marauders.

Also I hadn't used green stuff at the start of this extended project but slowly with more use it gets easier. The same applies for painting.
I would say a lack of confidence in your own painting and converting skills would be a perfect reason FOR starting a conversion project. You will continuously improve and have a lot of fun along the way =)


Also thanks so much for looking through my thread =)

thanks for the wip of the slaves... and of course zombie and flagelant mix... how could i think otherwise^^


and those kroot look very strong... gotta agree...warpaint on kroot is just feeling as meant to be!

Two more Kroot, still no fallout.








Hope you enjoy these guys. I am fond of the reaper myself =)

Shovel looks like he is dancing...

Kroot look really good. Very realistic from the metals to the warpaint.

Hahahah william didn't see that ^^

And thanks H
=)

Loving the kroot, especialy the white warpaint, definatly makes them look more ferce

Yo last 2 Kroot for now finished, 'Pack' and their Shaper 'Teeth' (the one with the feathers on his head)

WIP Pack


Pack



WIP Teeth


Teeth


Cheers for looking




Hahaha I took these photos before going on holidays and I am uploading them from Hong Kong so my flag has changed ^^

The kroot are coming along really nicely. The horn on his shoulder pad is a nice adition.

Zod, I love Kroot. I really wish I liked Tau, because I'd love a Kroot army.

Thanks Scrazza n Squid, love the comments.
I agree Squid, I haven't ever really been able to get excited about tau. Maybe later =)

For the moment..

Fallout 3!

Finally finished the glowing one I planned on page 7.





Hope you guys like =)

Looks nice. I'd give it more green glow though. I just like flashy glows

yes... that is a cool looking glowing one... your fist OSL work? looks good!

so what will you plan on to do next in terms of FO ?

by the way... watched teenage mutant turtles the other day... and your kroots ring certainly a bell in that direction
