we were debatting about that too... but that would have been deflating my wifes purse even more...^^

Its usually the other way around... wives deflating our purses...

Well...my wife currently earns bread and lodgings...

Well, my other half has a bigger LEGO collection that I do

Heya guys!

First of all I need to apologize for vanishing off the face of the earth for over a year. Life dealt me some lemons, and I needed much time to create lemonade. Too much time.
Hobbywise last year was a disaster, personal-wise it started out the same. Yet since a couple of months life is back on track, and slowly the hobby is getting back on track too...
The past year has not been a total loss though, there were the occasional models I built and painted, and my biggest achievement as yet is in the works... Yet that will take about six more months to be finished/born

Anyways, like I said, it wasn't a total loss, so I do have some works in progress to show. As always, feel free to comment, critique or otherwise nag me... I'm just glad to be back in earnest...













Aye... tis good to be painting and converting/sculpting/scratching again...

Nag, nag, nag...

Er...so you finally sculpted yourself a minime with your magic wand...?
The models look great, the braid on that "pirate" is sculpted? Brilliant!

That sniper tho is my favourite, he reminds me of Riddick, if he was a sniper and not a close combatant...
Welcome back Mr. Maus

Thanx Vik... I was kinda expecting you to be the first to react

Nope, I didn't use the magic wand... It turned out to have little magic So I used the magic hospital. We are now in week 14, and the missus is beginning to actually feel pregnant now. Morning sickness and all.

The braid is sculpted yep, but needs a better paintjob to make it come out more.

Concerning the 'sniper'... I'm glad ya mentioned Riddick, as now i know you mean the guy with the goggles. The head and weapon are Kromlech and Maxmini, he has little in the way of actually sculpting. I just loved the M4-203 and just had to use it... I kinda like him too, so he'll be getting friends.

oh... that sounds nevertheless a very joyous development! and mind you... I've heard so much about complications in that regard... seems humanity is working hard on it´s own extinction... a teacher of mine once told me that all these hormones get rinsed into the water system due to the extensive use of the pill... so we men more and more pay a price...
well...I wish you two all the luck, nerves and joy of the world for this biggest of adventures!!! you need tow out of the three for sure... believe me...I know what I am talking...

and I guess Riddick came to my mind due to the shape of the head and the goggles give him an extra intensive stare^^...

one thing about wolvie... while I like the model...the skaven hands are a bit on the large side...

and I like that you made a human skinned/ pink ork...had that idea for quite some time too...

Love the pirate, I used the captain morgan pose for my Rogue Trader, mostly because I looked at those legs originally and went... wtf am I going to make out of these?!? I love it when a plan comes together!

yarr

I'm right there with you, my friend. No apologies needed.

Welcome back.

I give you Mr. Wolf, Mr. Fear-no-plasma, and Mr. Drillbit ... All in various stages of progress. I take particular pride in Fear-no-plasma. After all, everybody knows the herioc marine pose, shielding himself from a possible blast. Why, I ask, with such great armour, would one shield oneself? Now, if you are a mere average joe, that makes it different...







As always c&c is welcome...

Drillbit taylor

No they all look great and nice pose with plasma guy good combo use of bits like the Adidas trainers

Question... 20 pounds for 20 necromunda bulkheads... Good price?

I have seen on the very rare occasion for less but on the whole £1 per bulkhead aint bad these days so I would say it is a good price.

VERY good price.

Hey Maus! Loving the character here although I don't have time to go through all those 19 pages tonight Consider me subbed!

My greatest achievement ever...

Cheers mate!
Such pics in the context of this board could be misunderstood...
But I know these by heart, so...congrats mate and to your missus...your calm days of twosomeness are counted...

congrats, Maus, and welcome back.

is the arm on Mr. Drillbit scratchbuilt? or is it a cybork arm?

@ Gawdamsumbish: The arm is from a firm called Maxmini...

Congrats on the baby dude heres to dirty nappies and sleepless nights and there goes your hobby time

Thanks, Maus. seems they no longer make it...

GawdamSumbish, you might try Kromlech, perhaps they still do...

@ LDD, sleepless nights sound like hobby time to me... After all, when they turn a month old or so they can hold a brush... so he/she had better get paintin

An assassin and a generator of sorts... C&C welcomed...

very comicesque , cool work, did you use pawns from a chess game? I like the subtle dark lines...

the assassin is made from what mini?


also... due to your most recent update I totally forgot to coment on mister wolf... awesome mini...who made that? looks so professional...or did you sculpt that head yourself???

Viktor, being a german can I safely assume that you know the Efteling amusement park in holland? They have a fairytale forest which has Little Red Riding Hood, and The wolf and the seven goats... That mr. Wolf was featured in a miniature for a collectable series at a supermarket. This is that Mr. Wolf, only repainted and as such looking a bit more menacing.

i take the comicuesque as a great compliment. I try to have everything just a little bit overdone and over the top. I guess thats a bit my style. The dark lines you mention are just waterproof marker along the very edges. The assassin is a mini from one of them clix ranges, but with an added bolt pistol. There used to be a flimsy dagger there...

Congratulations, and best wishes.

Love the look of the assassin.

I've discovered Infinity. Got myself the 2-player starter box and started painting the nomads. Please comment, because for me this is a lot harder te see the details on than the GW '28' mm models...

Really great color scheme choice I think, the only thing that keeps me from infinity is the bright anime colors, but I really like the colors you chose. I did notice one thing though that on this 3rd guy you forgot his mustache and little soul patch!

That's a great use of Skaven arms on a human figure, I may have to pinch that idea!
