Is it just me, or is the head on John Stewart a little off, like a fraction to high from the neck?

Yes graven... paint a miniature joker card. Right now. Paint monkey-boy, paint! *cracks whip*

Sorry to hear about the home reapairs :-( , nothing worse than the heat or water going out. All your hobbying though looks good!

Camkierhi wrote:All looking good bud, nice work on the objectives.

Thanks mate. And thanks for the next one

I have a couple of electric radiators -- the sealed oil filled kind-- just in case my furnace goes out. Something to consider. Careful though, don't get the sort that'll burn down the house. People, sadly, do that.

That use of old fuses is clever. They would fit well on a sci fi themed table too.

Joker card - I don't disagree, but it's for a specific scenario and has to be taller than specific models. Yeah we have 2 large electric radiators, and a gas fire also. But it's a big draughty old victorian house.
Thanks about the fuses. I'd seen them used individually but thought a stack seemed more convincing, somehow.

Cheers! Yeah, it's now up and running.

You're not wrong. It's because I haven't yet built up the muscles around his neck / \ (not quite Cardassian neck, but certainly thicker.

A little hobbying on a big thing today, made by the mighty Cam:

The diameter of this is the size of my oustretched hand.
Needs some more edge highlighting but it's nearly there. It's aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages since I've used any metallic paints - don't use them for BMG, which is 95% of my painting. VJ Burnished Copper, wet blend shaded with Tiiny Tin and Brass for highlights. Some Shining Gold should be enough to finish it off, then burned, scratched and scraped along the back,

Other stuff - slogging through priming everything. Priming black, rather than my usual grey, but with zenithal grey instead - at least, that's the theory. I really want to get these commission-things done, so I can get on with my own stuff

Aaaaaaaaaand done



Prisoner for scale

And started a neon sign

Coin looks good - I may be being dim, but what is it for?

That'll do

All looking great, coinis cool.

The coin turned out great graven. Nicely done.

Thanks chaps. Now, onwards!


A riddle generator. Part of the commission batch of objectives.
Next, card, bomb and Kryptonite...

Excellent work. Generator looks spot on.

It took me a moment to see the question mark. The angle is a bit odd. Which fits. IIRC, the Riddler is a bit odd.

Coin looks great, are you putting together a bunch of batcave terrain also?

Nice work on the riddle generator, but what kind of output does it have? A printer? A screen? A speaker? Or does it just generate them for it's own private amusement?

Ta. Awaken Realms make some lovely odds and ends.

ta! Yeah I wanted it to be... Odd.

Yorkright wrote: Coin looks great, are you putting together a bunch of batcave terrain also?

Eventually. That's a long term plan. I've started one of the Bat Computers also.

you are a silly man

Another week. Another boiler packing-in incident The pump this time - turns out the whole system will need flushed also, to the tune of nearly £800

Sigh. Anyway.
The objectives continue:

What's in the box?

Needs a LexCorp logo on the side but nearly there.

And started these:


Going to be doing a set of box files from TT Combat's Urban Accessories. Which also come with these cute little buggers... to ruin:

They're going to be substitute robot dolls for joker. I'd been looking for Evil Toys for a while, and as a result am getting a Malifaux Neverborn starter and rules on the cheap. A lot of my mates play and I like the Neverborn part of the aesthetic (other parts notwithstanding). Not going to get sucked in, but ten quid to play a game works for me. For all that I love DC, XWing et al, they're not quick games. Walking dead is fairly concise, but it's not overly crunchy - there's something to be said for a wee fantasy skirmish game. And I have graveyard/ruins aplenty for scenery too.

...

Yeah who am I kidding?! it's going to eat my soul.

Cheers as always for you ceaseless support,
Graven

The fuses look great, very effective!

You realize that the Giant Penny is a 1945 dated, not 1922. Unless you were trying to make it more Two-Face- except that, in every iteration other than The Animated Series, it's from a villain called The Penny Plunderer, early in Bats' career.

What you have there is, rather, a giant Silver Dollar- Two-Face's signature item. Therefore, it ought to have been painted silver, rather than copper.

8-B

A 1945 Lincoln penny at that yeah I did know but the lovely Cam made me a 2 face themed 1922 (there is a destroyed one also).

Good job on the copper-y look.

Good fires.

Nice riddle generator.

Good job on the box. Like the wood colour you got on it.

Fuses do the job.

Nice work on the objectives, especially the giant penny!

Objectives are looking good!

Too much stuff to comment on - suffice to say it's all excellent...

Awww, those little teddy bears.

So cute.

Now...

Mess them up!

Ha ha ha so true. Will do.

So finished off the box

The card

And the cannisters

Plus more work on the next two:



2 more to do after these, the neon sign and a stack of box files. Then, motherboxes. I've made a rod for my own back, really.

Really need to paint actual model
Graven

As an old objective hack... I love these graven, they make me smile!

yeah, like the old Great Objective Swap? I'd forgotten about that, actually. Definitely going to be doing the whole square bases as pizza box thing again, that's for sure.

The pizza box is brilliant, love it!

Thanks mate, it's now just about down:



Now with added cheese

Fuel?Fire?


And WIP on the neon

Love the pizza box, objectives are looking spot on bud.

The neon sign is looking really promising.

Very cool objectives Graven. I like how you have so many various things to build and paint for the DC game, in 40K you have to paint so many troops that getting to paint vehicles and characters are a treat.

Looking good! And stealing that pizza box idea for sure
