Ahhh the details, my favorite part!

I'm really looking forward to seeing Samarianne finished and a valid piccy reason to resurrect the pimp my wizard thread!

What colour armour will the lady be wearing?

I've been reading your thread for quite a while now and I must say it loud: AWESOME! I like the fact, that every bits on the model makes sence and fits perfectly. An Eye for Detail, indeed! Keep it up!

It's a shame I found this plog relatively late - I could pull some ideas from your ganger with minigun for my heavy guy... Well, I'll steal some anyway for future projects, if you don't mind

I'll post some new pics for you today.
Samarianne is supposed to be clad in an almost black plain metal armor, contrasting with her gory red body glove and the brass and gold colors of her more sophisticated equipment, like her witch-seeker-visor and her plasma arquebuse.

Thanks mate, I'd be honoured by everything you steal and interested in any refinements you make to my ideas, so drop me a line when you build that heavy.
And it's never too late, this blog will be going on and on, I have so many plans, I could keep it running for years.

You're welcome. Never too late, indeed, but my Heavy is already built, primed and I'm painting the guy at the moment, that's why i said that "i could"
Anyway, your stuff is very inspiring and I'll keep it in mind, working on my future projects.

Paint, paint, paint... the progress on Samarianne is alright, but not done yet. Couldn't paint yesterday though and today isn't looking too good either. Tomorrow I'm gonna pick up my set of secret weapon washes from the customs office. Finally...
Pictures soon.

Please please please please make the dirigible for Grimnir's Thunder in the air? Maybe anchored? Please

qoute "Tomorrow I'm gonna pick up my set of secret weapon"

Nice one , Samarianne sounds cool i bet your really pulling out all the stops with her mate.

@dsteingass:
Dirigible... I guessed what you meant, but I actually had to look it up to be sure, I only knew zeppelin. Anyway, so far I had no plans to change anything about the normal models, except replacing the ugly pole it stands on with either clear plastic or a needle.

@Neil:
Thanks Neil, I'm trying to bring my A-game, but I'm still rusty AND a little inexperienced in painting, because I had a hiatus of several years and even before that I overall painted less then 50 miniatures over the course of years. So even though I have a lot of theoretical knowledge, putting it into practice is a painstaking learning curve, so everything takes an eternity. I hope to achieve some routine, if I keep painting on a more regular base.

Excellent. Classic Black and Red...the right choice for inquisition.

While you say for are relatively inexperienced/out of practice I think you're pretty frikkin good and so does Adalhard:

Thanks Peter, but I'm a bit afraid Adalhard is not representative for my overall level of painting, but we'll see.

In other news...
Terrible day, good news. After one month in delivery my Secret Weapon washes finally arrived, so I'm a proud owner of 30 new washes now.
Now I'm eager to test some of them. Names like "baby poop" make me suspicious and curious to equal measures...
I hope the curiosity won't have worn off before I come back home from work.

well if you had only asked for that wash earlier... we do make that one on our own in quite big quantities... so the quality is somewhat inconsistent...

Whawhat now? Who is we and why are you making washes?

it was meant to be a pun... as refering to the baby poop... my kids could have provided that quite well in ther time...now that they are on safe grounds...you could very well say that this option is down the drain... but i think i will spare us the dirty humor^^

Take a sniff that should answer all doubt

Kalt erwischt, da stand ich ja mal völlig aufm Schlauch, Vik... I totally forgot about the baby poop and really thought you worked in some factory for acrylic paints hahaha...

I make washes with Weathering powders, they work great for washes!

Taking into account that most weathering powders are simply pigments it's not surprising that it works as wash. The downside ist just that the pigments are opaque, similar to heavily diluting ordinary colors with water, while real washes should have pigments with a little tranparency. Both kinds have their applications of course.

Yeah, I mean it doesnt replace your devlan mud or anything, but they have their purposes.

neee^^ nich kalt erwischt... mir war dann der scherz sichtlich peinlich^^...mangelndes niveau etc...

well it would be nice to have such a work with benefits^^ but alas that is not going to happen...as i am either a business administrator or perhaps soonish a nursery nurse...in a school... hopefully the later as i like more to work with peeps than to work for big creds...

That is quite a difference in career opportunities I think I missed something here

Call me stupid (most do) But with weathering powders and washes I thought the weathering powders would have less transparency ?

happens when you are young and do things other peeps want you to do... then realise you are fed up with misers... so now is the time for reinventing the worklife...

Good to you taking control of your work life is a must and having a job you like well that must be amazing

Yeah yeah Vik, neglecting the kids to put more rivets on a scratchbuilt whatever...I can picture it.

neglecting

never anything...working always on every fore that is there^^

Baiyuan wrote:Yeah yeah Vik, neglecting the kids to put more rivets on a scratchbuilt whatever...I can picture it.

No hes just helping to build them a better brighter future (with lots of rivets ) through modelling, the best times I had was making models with my dad as a kid although I have to say I was all ways better at than him .

I keep asking my misses if i can be a stay at home dad but she said no ……. she said we don't have any kids so how can you be so I said you have to start training for a future career the conversation ended there.

Well good luck with whatever you do Vik

lol...mate... i know your feeling... worklife can instantly bring you into a position to be wanting to be the stayhomedad...


and you bet there is plenty of rivets in the education of my kids...

Trying your link but just comes up 403 Forbidden and if you work in the food industry that I do you just want to stay any where but there plenty of rivets is a good thing in any education

I would like staying at home for about 2 weeks-1 month, After that I think I would go crazy.
Getting paid to deal with pompous ass idiots makes me appreciate my at-home time more.
