Oooo that dwarf ship is looking great Iff!

Who knew the Irish could paint green and gold so well? Fantastic job on the ship, and doubly so on the wolves

Sigh, awesome, just awesome. (jelous of your shield painting skillage)

The completed Wolf Guard with the Thunder Hammer & Ma-hoo-ssive shield looks amazing, where did the shield come from?

I love the weathering on the SW, especially the gold. I should really try something like that on my Bad Moons.

MMM good. Love tiny things. They make me feel big. Do you ever get that ifalna?

The gold on those space wolves is gorgeous, how did you do that?

Poo Brown and Glitter? Why not go for a Bling Scorpion?

The Space Wolves look amazing, and they are not yet finished!
...and the ship. Looking forward to seeing how the dwarf ship (dwarves have ships now?) comes out.

Congrats on 100 pages Ifalna.

As for the scorpion, can you please paint the entire thing in that amazing gold that you added on your space wolves?

Thanks!

Grats on 101 dalmations.... no wait, pages Great looking work as per usual, love the gold. I agree, that marinee dude is GORGEOUS And there. is. a. real. Brass. Scorpion. yay! I look forward to seeing that done sooooooo much!

Lovin' the Dwarf Ship! The Space Wolves look predictably nice as well.

Cheers!

_Tim?

Back from weekend!

Should have updates of the wolves and ship tonight, also doing some assembly.

FF7 was re-released as an optimised PC version this week so that kinda ate up most of my weekend time, that and trying to finish off co-op borderlands achievements. Good times

Ifalna, some congrats are in order. Your Wurrzag commission is featured on the front page, unfortunately it's listed as by an unknown creator.

The dreaded final fantasy 7. It lives, again!

How excited are you about borderlands 2? I can't freaking wait!

Dammit, I thought that particular breach of the Trades Descriptions Act had been thoroughly staked last time it raised its ugly head...

Cheers peeps It really came along leaps and bounds once I shaded it, it's a very pretty little ship. Very bling bling!

The owner converted a lot of them so I'm really not sure I'm afraid :( Knowing him it was a bit of a tanks door or something awesome I'll try to remember to ask him for you.

Ah you totally should, really dirty gold can look lovely, I think people get stuck on making it look pristine and never make it dirty, and miss out!

I totally get that. I feel like mighty Poseidon with these things. TINY OCEANS.

I gave the basic recipe a couple of my posts ago It's mostly just not thinking too much and keeping it nice and organic looking.

... I'm seriously thinking of how good it could look all aged gold. This is worrying. I'm going to have to talk to the owner.. oh the ideas..

I can't wait to freaking paint it! Have to be good and get everything else done first though, I have a couple of people waiting on mini's at the moment so I can't faff off and paint something not in the queue

Awww man, yeah it auto defaults to not listing the uploader as the creator :( Oh well, at least my sig is on him, that should be fine

So... happy.. hnnrgh.

Omg dude I cannot wait. I wanted to go with Mechromancer but it having that "girlfriend" mode the dev stupidly named recently has set my inner nerd rage aflame. Prob going with the assassin robot guy instead.

You can't keep a good terribly rude game down!

So tonights updates are here, and a bit sparse I'm afraid as while I got lots of work done on the wolves, they all have early stage faces and look like they were painted by a small child so I'm skipping their shots tonight

HUGE pic of Grimnirs Thunder -



Realised I still have to paint the tiny version on the base! Doh!

The metal contrast is not quite this heavy in real life, my camera has a habit of making dark boltgun look nearly black instead of reflecting the metallics right. It is indeed quite dark and shiny, but the contrast between the mythril and boltgun is not THIS crazy, hard to explain

It is so very tiny, much smaller than the swordfish. It's tiny cargo airship and second airship are being painted now!

I really enjoyed my weekend of FF7 and managed to get the Great Gospel achievement. This is my third or fourth time grinding it but never before on a platform that had achievements, so I finally have evidence I actually did it and did not just use a gameshark back in they day

Hueheuehueheh.

Back to painting!

Shiny, in all meanings of the word.

Nice work Iffy... the green and gold just jump out so well.

@Ifalna: I'm not sure if it's a trick of the light, but it looks like there is something beneath the waves in the first pic. I pushed in on the waves just before the waterwheel and I see something red-orange with eyes and teeth.

Putting aside that oddity, I like the green and weathered gold. It's a magnificent looking ship.

Beauty-full little ship - so small (mighty Poseidon moment again).

Lovely ship! Those waves are great....

Looking really nice Iffy and theres so much detail on such a small model must have drove you mad painting it lol

Looking good!

Nice to see you continuing to do great work, Iffy. Way to keep the dream alive!

Glad you like it, your opinion is obviously the most important ;D

Hehe, I in fairness just used the basic GW scheme, but the liquid gold was nice and rich so I'm happy with it.

Thats terrifying! I figure it's the reflection of the warm main light in the room I paint in, as that shot was without the lightbox to block it out. Either that or it's some kind of tiny horrible ghost. D:

Lol, cheers Weety. Imagine a whole fleet of these around you, it would be fantastic.

Thanks Matt! The waves were a lot of fun, they give a really nice shiny contrast to the matte ships.

Only slightly mad ;D No more than usual!

Haha, livin the dream! Or maybe not, I had to sleep through most of yesterday so missed an update, but here is where the next ship is at the moment.



It is super red, but the gold and weathering it will have will create lovely contrast I think!

Home stretch (sorta)! Did you do the little blimp the same time as the dwarf boat?

Little blimp is getting its finishing touches as we speak, should have shots later Just waiting to do its golds at the same time as this big ones to prevent opening the pot repeatedly ( it flakes everyyywherre)

The fades on the super red are... Well, super

Trusty airbrush to the rescue yet again Lovely smooth fades with minimal effort.

Hour and hours and hours and hours of work later and it looks very different. Gold, decking, and church still in very early stages, but I managed to pick out most of the detail, tiny and excruciating as it was.

Golden guy on front is about the size of a euro.. this thing is tiny.
