Many thanks! Loved doing it


And next for the gang, Alex DeLarge

Lover of ultra violence and Beethoven

Nice simple conversion, graven. Looks good.

Your awesomeness continues to astound me.
Dum Dum Dougan?

Genius! I was wondering how you were going to tie the gunner in with the rest of them.

Excellent conversion. Love the moustached head.

Well that was the inspiration, certainly, the classic cover where he has a Gatling. He's just a Joker goon... Called DumDum

Cheers! Happy accident, really. Had to find the right sw bit first!

Aye my droog.

I'll certainly try to get Alex's eye makeup on him, and the colour scheme will be heavily influenced by that also - though I may stick a couple of chevrons on the front of the bowler. Am I mixing my genres a little too much?!

Meanwhile...

Try a Mr J's original Titan Dog and make your day today! Read this testimonial: "It's true! I had Mr J's Weiner and I haven't stopped smiling!" (HQ, Coney Island) So why wait? Try a Titan - today!

So yeah, this happened, a hot dog stand as my Titan drug objective for the Joker crew. It's not attached to the base, that's just to prove it fits for game purposes.

And some progress on the ruins of Shreck's:


And the card template I'm going to use for the "face":

It has been quite a slog; I've found the current loer really hard to do justice to. But the wrecked ball works for me, and adding an internal platform adds extra playability to it, which is always key.

Mixed feelings about the demise of the Marvel mini game. Although I never particularly cared for it, I was an admin on the combined Marvel - DC Facebook group until yesterday when one admin booted the rest of us and took over the group. Very very very strange, no time for such nonsense. And despite the impressive digital sculpts, Harry Potter as a mini game doesn't speak to me, really. Happy enough to settle for the forthcoming Arkham campaign rules

Busy weekend ahead. Really don't know if I'll get on with Alex DeLarge/DumDum but we live in hope

Later peeps
Graven

Not at all weird and creepy.

If you say so.

Well, it's not a clown face, so yeah, not at all weird or creepy. A little unsettling maybe.

It was more the clamp to the head
Anyway...

Nice progress, looking good.

Thanks, it's been... Riveting

Nice few days, with little miss' birthday (the sheer joy of a one year old faced with an animated potato birthday cake was a wonder to behold) and a good break generally despite us all being under the weather. Return to Arkham for Xbox one from the Mrs, as she knows what I truly love

And finished my lover of ultra violence:

Honestly, I am really pleased with how the mini looks but the photo just makes me think he looks terrible.

Really need to get on with buildings, though finding it hard to get motivated tbh. Just not feeling it at the moment I guess. I'll grab spray primer and I'm sure my mood will lift. Hey ho,
Graven

Not all minis benefit from getting blown up to 20x their actual size... believe it or not.

that's pretty reassuring, actually Thanks buddy.

Light does weird things when you change the scale on things. It took me a long time to wrap my head around the science of why we have to paint highlights, for instance. Light waves are so damn small that the difference between life-sized and 28mm or 6mm for that matter shouldn't make a difference, but it does.
The same thing goes the other way.

PS... I just noticed that I made your sig, Graven. That's cool! Thank you!

Awesome cat

Alex looks just like one of the Capt America's WW2 guys in his original unit.( Howling Commando's?). Dum Dum Dugan

Cheers, very true. And hey, you clearly understand my geek

Cheers! And that was indeed the plan . I wonder about adding two chevrons to the bowler?

Job done

Progress made on the Chinese restaurant, nothing worth showing but the walls are blocked in. Hopefully more to show tomorrow!

Nicely done, Graven'. Captures the look and feel.

Photos are always spoiling that nice "finished" feeling.
If it looks good in person, don't worry about it.

Cheers mate. Appreciated, and you are of course quite right.

Anyway, meantime, who fancies a takeaway?

Next, washing (not a chinese laundry, don't be so narrow-minded)!

Minis always, and I repeat, ALWAYS, look better in real life. (Hard to say in person since they are not really persons, eh?) They are meant to be viewed in threee dimensions.

Liking Lo Phat's place. But you'll get better noodles from Lo Pan.

Now with washes

Thanks red, though if yours look better in real life then they must be some kind of platonic solid

Good work on Lo Phat.
Liking the colouration on the dragons on the roof.

Thanks! I had thought about using VJ Metallic Gold but I'm still scared of that stuff :/ also, there are no metals ANYWHERE on any of my bmg stuff. It's a comic thing

Got a haul of tasty, tasty faction equipment packs and double-sided wound tokens from Red Beam Designs today

Very nice indeed. Looking forward to using them in game Tuesday, Joker vs Law or Bats (no idea what my opponent's playing, probably Law though), and helping a Birds of Prey (Canary, Strix, Ivy, Batgirl and a helicopter) vs CW-theme team (GA ostensibly, Flash, Kid Flash, Arsenal, Hawkgirl) that mates are playing (because they want to play supers, and why not, eh?).

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand finished the restaurant.

Made some new posters for it:


And did a Dead Inside tag, just to keep my Walking Dead fans happy


Must must MUST buy primer for LOER entry but won't make it to shop until Tuesday at earliest and unlikely to spray till Weds. Gonna be a tight one!

Cya

Just slap it on something small and see how it behaves. Once you know it won't be scary. Knowledge is power.

I "believe" your bell tower has some metallics in it.

Looks great. Nice work.

I just love that graven.

Nice restaurant. Looks like it's seen better economies, though.

Excellent work, your collection of terrain just gets better and bigger all the time

Great work.. Howeverrrrrrr.. I will say I think the dragons on top should be gold. Tarnished and maybe some patina? Hollywood influenced? Currently I think it blends into the building colors too much. The dragons being much of an advertisement than just building dressing... 2 cent's.

Lastly,... add this graffiti... ' Lo Pan sucks' somewhere . Reference to a movie classic.
