he merely does it for the fun and style...actually it is a fantasy game set in a futuristic surrounding...so anything goes!

love this new cannon mate , very precise work .

Yup its looking good, much liking your stuff so far!

The more pointless and non-functional the rivet pattern, the better it looks IMHO.

^that... tho that is a trade secret you just spilled there dave

Haha, very punny

Lone Cat wrote:too much rivets. siege guns are rarely rivetted due to the need of structural integrity so the gun will not break and its barrel will jerks back once fired. THIS quality is required by the artillery since WW1 so you will not need to push your cannons back to its firing position every shots. ... rivettings prevent such movements.

Thanks for the input. I would tend to agree with you if the moving parts were rivetted, but I'm trying not to do that. Also

If we are doing THIS game....

ok RW... i am totally not understanding whats with all that cat pirate latley... is it the patch?...a way of you to show you as ole one eye?

well i did add that patch to that specific eye yes, but i dunno, cat pirate is my distraction while you guys are talking about FO, a game i am not involved with atm

ok... just so you don´t feel too much non involved:


for cuteness:

for lulz:

and for actually tabletop related contens:

you are a great man

...and now we move on from the kitty theme

I got a bit of work done yesterday on the Medusa.
Here's a bit of paint (nothing so spectacular yet, but I felt the need to prove that I've been doing things.


Here's the GS work on the cannon to match with the LRBT cannons. Off to a good start, imho. I'm planning on adding a bit more detail to the Crest/Coat-of-Arms thingy.


Also, I worked on a little project for Vik: Steampunk Goggle Heads FTW!


This one didn't turn out as good, he's got a bit of a googley eye (opposed to goggle eye ), so I'll redo one half of the goggles.


As always, CC most appreciated!

Thanks for stopping by!
Rawson

Wow, that is some small GS work! Very cool!

hey rawson...good to hear from you again! how is the biggerizing family? all swelling fine? i hope your wife is getting enough sleep... if there is some issues with that... which i think could very well happen on that time...try peanuts... there is something inside them i think magnesium, that jelps calm the legs... my wife always got restless legs during that time...

your greanstuff work is truly amazing... so much work done so goodlooking is very flattering for me^^

the catachan head looks good too... i picture him wielding a giant flamer... perfect fit!

and the outrider head is simply marvelous! need to borrow a thumbs from my wife to show how good it is looking^^ thumbsup^^

the cannon barrel looks very good...specially that brim you did, will the small shieldlike structure be a regimental crest? good idea!

seeing the mainbody of your medusa i think you should consider to let the black stay black... maybe to show better that this is not infantry but here comes the big guns of the artillery^^

cheers, and hopefully you get enough hobbytime as you wish for...greetings again to your growing family^^

vik

Well, if she has a tendency to wake up and break out into the riverdance, you may need more than peanuts

ROFL...

the right decision would be to get the cam and sell the vid...depends on how much clothing she might be wearing tho as to whoom the vid could be sold to...

Thanks, buddy! I'm not sure about the details on the shield (the one on the LRBT cannon is significantly smaller ), so we'll see how it goes. I'm not sold on the black idea yet, but there is a lot of khaki left to paint before we get to gold, so we'll see what happens!

Things are progressing as well as could be hoped! The wife isn't sleeping so good these days, except for 6:30am when my alarm goes off. She always falls asleep at 6:29 after a long night. Our apartment is being invaded by small pink clothing, furniture that I cannot use, and hand-me-downs from almost everyone we know BTW, thanks for the tip, Vik! I'll certainly pass that on!

I wouldn't know actually: I've completely acclimated to her new sleep schedule (which includes many midnight pit stops ) and don't even wake up anymore. I'm not sure if that's good or bad...

HAHA It means you are exhausted! It'll get better Hang in there!
