I have no idea where they'd be Vic. Had a bit of a look around for them and wherever they are they're good at hiding.

Shame they're going for so much as well.

well...so long as someone declares something as collectible...it rises in price...shame no one wants my undies...

later on my friends I will present to you some more interior design pieces... keep tuned in tonight

are you channeling Nerdfest09 Vik?, I had to double check the thread and everything.

Heh, it's been a while since my last visit here ;D

the last thing i can remember seeing was back at page 498 i think.

just looked at the pictures now when i went through this thread full of awesomeness. and what i can say is that i love everything i see here.. that ball tank is sooo cool!

and the scenery, wow, just wow.
great work vik!

I think if you really want an army, making masters of the two or three basic body types and maybe the one or two goggle types and having them cast would seem like a good idea.

Googly eyes are second only to rivets.

It still amazes me when someone says something like this and a stupid idea pops into my head

Quick minion2.0

Bag of old googley eyes I've had for years, and matching diameter tubing, now it needs shoes and smaller googley eyes.

And a half hour after starting this, including scrounging for my parts( ) I got it to this level, now vik go get building your minion army so we can take over the world


Space marine "foul xeno scum you stole my banana"
Minion Vik "bananaaaaa!"
Arms and feet to be sorted out by you

hmm... casting is of course a good way to ensure uniformity...no question there... and with galorn, there is a master caster in our midst ...but for now I need to first find a way to do it just by me own hands...we´ll see if that yields and good products...

mate...you are the guy to play table tennis even over large distances...lol...
tubester is looking funny... but I think he is still too tube like...maybe you should make a shorter new one? I think we need a shape somewhere inbetween an M&M and tubester...my own take started today...parcel arrived with wooden beads, these are shaped like an olive...and I even started working on the lil minion...pics later on....
I still await eagerly how your try on the tray idea...!

and graven....lol...

A few bands/belts around tubester would be a nice visual cue to indicate his 'neck' and 'waist'...also creates nice shadow lines.

Do any of us ever use googley eyes as just eyes?

Tubester would make a great:
(a) objective marker
(b) servitor (? are they still called that?)
(c) trash can-- yeah people paint up their trash cans that way (See this http://rt.com/news/chinese-matryoshkas-upset-orthodox-church/) But what better way for a cleaner future than a robot trash can?
(d) a walking cooler. How neat would that be? Plus it fits the food theme.

welcome red harvest...
funny coincindence...I just found your thread in the recent threads... and I was blown away...mate...what a crime to not share your works with us earlier!!!

and yes... some more detail is needed... how...hmmmm... my own take is mostly wooden...so probably details in paper even possible...

by current problem tho is make the hands convincingly... I currently try to get minion hands made from plastic rivets...three and these on a small tube piece...will show that later on...but maybe I stick even there to the wood and paper and cardboard route and use the fingers with cardboard rivets and PVA...should make a smooth finish...

Welcome? Hmmph. I showed up weeks ago, y'know.

I'm tempted to borrow "tubester" as an objective marker idea instead of the usual crates we have in Infinity. Cute colorful robots are very much fitting the manga/anime aesthetic, no?

I'd almost be tempted to give him tachikomi style legs and hands.

Ah, the minion have sidetracked Vik from the BBQ

Minion BBQ time, they can fight the Grotz for the scraps.

Problem solved.

at graven, I need to make a big database to the different looks of the individual minions there are out there... so many options...

at shaso... I think sidetracked is my middle name...my kids came to me yesterday...told me they want to build something with me, turns out it would be something like a fortress...which I already have started... now it just needs more paint... so we started painting that... progress of that I will show you all later...

at not_u... a bit like the fight amongst of my grots in the flyer...bitchslapping and all that

at red... sometimes I am so sidetracked I get lost even in my own thread...mea culpa...


but well... here are some updates of mine...

first... competition entry additional detail items...these need to get painted and then added to the build...:

da croo...

note the pigtails on each of them...a grot variant of the diner uniform^^

then da toolz and furniture...



and as we spoke about minions, my wooden olive beads arrived and this is what I currently think of my basic take on the theme...for now...tell me what you think about that shape...would it work?




cheers, vik

Liking all the little details bits.
I like how you added the damage to the chopping board, nice touch.

nice of you to notice...that was what I had in mind... now I need to see that the paintwork matches the scratches^^

Interesting bits and pieces, love Da crew, all looking good, just hope you don't get too distracted.

Lking the minion myself, good hands.

Looking forwards to the painted up fort Vik!

A minions army... thats a great idea, cant wait to see that.
If I come across any ideas I'll let you know .

I'm a little disturbed by the sludge in the barrel, what are they flavouring their meat with ...

If Trolls season their stew with Squirrel dung.....

It's da sekret ressipee

It certainly will take me a while to catch up, but I'm really liking the terrain that I see here Vik!

Those beads are perfect Vik.

Willkommen in meiner Welt. Sidetracked is actually a pleasant way to get through a day though. Sometimes you end up in really neat places.

The kitchen details look good.

Are you going to GS a dome, or make some sort of dome, on the top of the bead? If so, it looks like it should work well.

AweOrksome sauce. Naturally.

Vik, I tried to cast some today using the tube trays, unfortunately the attempt failed, pics later as I'm up at my kids school for May movie night, oddly enough....despicable me2
