Really loving your Empire stuff Weets!

Cheers y'all. Computer problems are plaguing me, but I've jury rigged the old XP laptop to work for 25 days (seriously, microsoft suck for pulling XP support). So here are the commission pieces, very beautiful they are too. The first ones nearly done:

Oh my god! that black jacket! wowzers that's nicely done!

Well thanks! It was a major headache and needed much tweaking and layering. I believe it really does look like a black leather now though.

More progress. She's not finished yet but I cant resist an update before I go make the dinner (chicken and mushroom pie with home grown broad beans). Such a great model, her proportions are so real she almost looks like she breathes. She reminds me of someone I knew in school who was a killer at hockey. Bloody murder that game is...

That's bloody good. Great job. My only niggle is maybe the transition from stock to barrel's a bit vague?

Great job on these Weety.
Nice models and you're doing them justice.

Yes I agree with that graven, I'll make the stock and the pump grip brown, and add a little sparkle to the barrel.

Thanks Dr H.

Here we go.

Why in the blue blazes would you go bare-legged during a zombie holocaust? You're just asking for a scratch to get infected...

Sorry.

How're you finding working in a larger scale, weety?

Much improved. Okay, and now you're going to hate me: how feasible are grazes on the knees/shins? Dysartes got me thinking, blame him...

Nooo...don't harm the lurvly lady!

Those minis look awesome! Any chance that he'll commission you for some of the zombies as well?

Well I guess she left her legs bare because they were all out of shin pads in the spots closet. Errrrm. Probably also because the sculptor is very good at legs.

Dysartes, its very easy on the eyes, but it does take a while longer and uses more paint. One has to be subtler with washes and highlights. Are you still thinking of Dr Doom?

Don't worry JB the zombies are straight up after the survivors.

The one with the mask looks like she is holding a vibrator

Sometimes, size IS important, Miss Dee.

Good finishing touches, Weety.

Doom is, yes.

Well! Goodness me! I think its a machette. I'll be sure to pass that one onto the client (not).

Dysartes - hope your not in a hurry! I seem to have a queue developing. This month I feel like I really might not regret taking contemporary crafts as my degree subject. Maybe one day I'll even pay back some of that loan (not).

NEXT!

What do you think of this guy? I'm not done with those eyes yet, they look a bit mad right now, and he needs eyebrows.

I think he stole one of my shirts. It's a Pendleton so I want it back (unless he gets blood all over it).

Great work on the flannel's pattern and the jeans look right too!

That is very nice, Weety. The jeans are brilliant.

Cool I think its ok then, except the eyes, which look like googly eyes.

I would have it finished by now but my day job is like 32 degrees C (89F) hot with no breezes and I need a while to get steady again. Its in one of those old concrete box with no windows type buildings that they blatantly built in the 60s with the intention of it having a complicated system of ducts and air con units. I think small birds and animals have now taken up residence in the ducts as the whole thing slowly returns to nature. There's shrubs growing on the roof. Its a perfect example of entropy in a closed system as no one from head office will ever spend any money on it. Lol, thats my morning rant over.

Ahhh its good to get some time off work. Here's what I did today. None are quite finished. Pink tee shirt girl may get a hello kitty and everyone needs work on the eyes. Urban camo for the molotov dude.

Ooh, lots of shinies!

Fantastic work on the NYD figs, love the flannel shirt and the leather jacket

Empire stuff was all good, nice job on the hats.

Skaven were great, look forward to seeing your warpflame thrower crew.

Thankyou monkey. I love making hats now. I may make hats for all the other militia.

I'm fairly sure I'm done with the survivors now. Certainly spent at least 6 hours on each maybe a touch more. Zombies tomorrow! Click on the pics to see bigger and vote, or not vote, whatever floats your boat.

Those are very well done, Weety. I can just never get over game companies that put out cheescake models. Kind of like when I was teen and couldn't understand all the chain mail bikinis in my D&D stuff.

In NYD miniatures defence, the girls have very normally sized assets, so I'm not sure it classifies as cheesecake. There's a lotta long luscious legs though!

I like long, luscious legs. And those are some mighty fine minis. Don't get me wrong. Hey... that gives me a thought.

I'd like to see you paint a Sister of Battle in all her armored nunnery might.

Great job Weety.

Like the tattoos on machete-girl.
Good job on the kitty free-hand.
Think I've commented on the rest already.

All looking good and voted for.

Well. Zombies got readied yesterday. I'm somewhat disturbed by the pregnant one. Wasn't there a zombie foetus in Braindead?

At the carboot today we found 4 miniature overproof vodkas that had been sealed in someones cellar for 40 years. Cracked one open, it's a little musty tasting but still mostly ethanol and just a little methanol. Can always use it to sterilize wounds! Also got an autobiography of Bruce Cambell from evil dead, the book of Watership Down and all of the hellraiser filums.

Anyway zombies

There was indeed, and it ended up in a blender.

Good haul at the carboot.

Look forward to painted zombies.

Sort the wounds from the inside?

What! you like Hellraiser? Oh my god I love you right now :-) I'm actually just reading Clive Barkers Biography. I've been a huge fan for a long time now.
