I LIKE the fact that you posted some yummy eyecandy for me!

I LIKE the leather and denim look! However, I think you should use a pin or something so that his boots are on the gravel/dirt instead of buried in it, but I'm sure you took these pics while the glue was still wet

^ this

@dsteingass - Aye, it was straight off the desk! Thanks for the kind words, glad you like him. Dakka does seem to have fast and slow periods, doesn't it?

@Rogue - I... I'm not entirely sure what that means. But thank you?

Mini, boring update. Based up the new guy, and Magpie, one of the QA from a while back. I am cooking up a few new models, but progress is painfully slow with revision and a crazy schedule! Hope you like anyway


Buddy cop movie music plays



More interesting stuff to come soon!

hey i'd watch a buddy cop movie staring anyone from QA!, i really like this new guy btw. where is this model from?

The big wrench is badass sir!

Haha, thanks guys! @Rogue - the original is a copplestone scavenger, but I messed with his gun a little and gave him the mask cause I ruined his face trying to get rid of a huge mould line. Originally he looked like this:

Buddy cop movies are ,, soo 80s, which is the rookie ?
I hope the warden gives them an impossible mission to complete in 24 hours..

now get outta my office..

I watched a buddy cop movie on TV yesterday instead of studying. The music is still in my head....

The painting is as good as ever, but I have to say, the bases are really darn simple...and I love them They're great canvasses for the characters to exist within.

The internet is rubbish.....2nd attempt.

The chap with the leather jacket has some nice pants. The highlighting on his jeans looks good.

Wrench chaps mask is nicely done

This is one great thread the work is interesting and mind provoking, some cool use of different manufactures never considered swapping heads of Copplestones miniatures

Love the GS work hoody guy is spot on, the guy holding his stomach is just a great pose love the fact he is holding onto the sign as well really sells it. could you tell me what arms you used on that I would like to borrow the idea slightly "cough"

Great work cool ideas and such an assortment of parts love it

Terrible what some people throw away...

As always, I love any feedback, great or terrible. So please hit me with what you think!

Just one thing as great as this skip it is ( which it is ) I kind of feel it's not authentic enough, the reason I say this is there is no wee stained mattress in it.

I really need to build a few of your dumpsers!

Good stuff Scarp. Nice to see all the fluff together, I'll go back later to pick out what's changed in some of them. Hanging guy sculpt looks pretty cool, that's a really good pose, wonder if I can get a greenskin into it?

Keep it up.

@Neil - It's gotta be Magpie, doesn't it? If they've got one gun between them, the new guy's not going to get it - he's lucky to be carrying the wrench Still, neither of them look like they're too keen on doing things 'by the book', so maybe they'll get along fine...

@Prime - 80s stuff is catchy, isn't it? In a 'like the plague' kind of way. Thanks for the kind words! The bases are pretty plain - I feel like I've been overdoing the scenic stuff a bit, and tbh I kind of rushed them cause I was impatient to be finished They do have a little detail though - just not particularly visible from those angles!


@PDH - I hate when that happens! I've started ctrl-Cing before I post now after I lost a massive post of replies to a 404 error. Cheers for the rewrite though, and the compliments - I'm really trying to improve my highlighting, so I'm chuffed that you spotted that!

@LDD - Thanks so much, and welcome aboard! Really glad you've found some stuff you like! The latest copplestone headswap was actually a bit of a forced hand - I obliterated his face clumsily removing an annoying mould line. Think it came out ok in the end though
Caleb uses arms from the FW renegade line - I think the right is from a standard bearer, and the L could be any of the ones from the infantry weapons set, with some GS work. Sorry I can't be more helpful - I think any of the rifle-holding left arms would probably be ok if you were going for something similar!
If I can manage to sculpt a pee-stained mattress for you, I will deffo have one in the next one, possibly with someone sleeping on it

@dsteingass - Have a go! I'm not the first one to do it, I'm sure I've seen them on the internet before. And yours would be rivetted to perfection, no doubt

@Monkeytroll - Thanks monkey! I was going for something a little different, just to see if I could. And tbh, I don't think ork physiology is really made for climbing. Perhaps if some kind of bionic replacement could be found? But I have no idea who would know how to do something like that...

Thanks for the feed back on arms thats great help I new I had seen the arm somewhere ( makes sense now from the pose ) and the other arm (left) would be supporting a rifle then

Do you know your spoiler does not do anything shame I was hope full

Looking forward to the next update

The mattress with pee stain and a tramp sleeping on it well ……. " you can do it "

Arg, apologies, you caught me while I was updating it! Should work now

Yep it works now nice basses but more models please

Also, the centre chap on this page here is toting the same right arm. His left arm might even be the same as the guy on the far left, but no promises there.

Bloody hell I own these Thats why they look so familiar I thought they were from the Kreig sets …… I think I have a spare one nocking around as well

The thing is on top of it all it was for my renegade guard I wanted it

Hey all! Latest paintjob finished is Lodge, one of the QA. He's also the most frustratingly difficult to photograph model I have ever made. Here's some shots, the best of a bad bunch. Hope you like him!






I honestly spent ages highlighting his face, I guess putting under a MASK DESIGNED TO BLOCK LIGHT was a bad plan if I wanted that to show up

Final shot is one that I thought was atmospheric, even if it doesn't show much up:


Please let me know where I could improve, I'd really like your input! Fluff will be up soon. Hope everyone's having a nice weekend!
Scarps.

Looks pretty good to me and totally sympathise with you when it comes to photo taking Things look great you take the photo and its like what the hell

But from what I can see looks great, if you can take the photo in natural daylight might help

i like it alot there scarp, nice addition of grafitti, what does the back of his jacket say?

CATPIRATE

...

I completely empathize with you when it comes to trying to take halfway decent photos of things. The heavy bolter is great, as is the highlight-obscuring welding mask The only thing I feel could be improved is the texture of the gritty stuff that makes up the embankment that Lodge is crouching behind. Right now, it appears far too regular for my tastes.

Great job, once again.

He looks good mate , lacking a bit of depth and highlights though , but that could just be your bad shots lol ;-)

really like the way the rubble and your graffiti turned out too. oh and kudos on the free hand ,matey. he looks like he is in a bad mood , scowling at tearaway asbo kids inn the second pic

hope work is going well mate .

Nice one Scarp!

The graff's a nice touch, and is that a slaaneshi bolter

Hard to tell with the reflections, but the hoodie looks like it might benefit from another highlight.

Nice work bud.

The graffiti on the wall....

I didn't realise the model was wearing a hoody until now. Very cool, good colour.

My only suggestion/criticism, since you asked for one, is the hole in the barrel of the heavy bolter, it looks too small for that calibre of weapon. You need a bigger drill bit imo. (I was going to make some joke about asking your girlfriend but that would have been childish )

His girlfriend ? is that the one wearing a fishermans Jumper ..

( giggling to myself whilst typing that )

Ah good. It's been a while since we had any jumper action

Neil - The same way as I chuckled as I sent you that link earlier in the week

Aye been too long....I think it is time for a new jumper pic....bugger I just google searched "female fisherman jumper" and saw something I don't want to see again.

I really like your new stuff. It looks ace, and the last mini is well painted IMHO.
