Thank you so much az! that is truly a generous and thoughtful nerd gift for me to peruse! now i have all that right at my fingertips and i do think i shall use it too :-)

speaking of sculpting, I scrapped the pad i was sculpting as it didn't live up to my lofty personal expectations, but I've started re doing it with a creepy face inspired by Steve Wang's awesome work http://www.myspace.com/stevewangfx/blog/125821874 if you don't see something there to make you want to create then you should take up something boring like stamp collecting! (which i also do........ don't judge me)

I should get a fair bit through the new sculpt and pic up tomorrow.

huh huh huh... you said wang.

Heh, you also said wang.

Damo is descending onto the madness of the Warp!

thats cause we have cookies punch pie and strippers and beer

Ah yes, Chaos bait

Hah, I seem to be rubbing off on everyone even you guys are finding childish humor in the word wang! next thing you know you'll be giggling at the work Stiffy!

and, this is what i'm working on now on the pad, I didn't like the other one but I hope this isn't too much for the prince! i'll smooth his face and add some stripping and rivets around the edge later.

That's sculpted pretty nicely already. Though I like the other one better, will have to see what you do with this first.

Just dickering with the wang.

Dickering:
Verb
Engage in petty argument or bargaining.
Treat something casually or irresponsibly; toy with something.

Nice work.

Nice sculpting, by the way.
I've asked the lady who runs the eBay store I'm getting my Oyumaru from if she can get ProCreate in as well. She's apparently getting some type(s?) of Aves Apoxy Sculpt in as well.

thanks Az, Cam & nOt! I really aren't sure about even adding the pad on the Daemon, but it gave me an excuse to do some creative work while i wait for other bits and pieces to get here :-)

Hmmm, the ProCreate sounds good Sci..... sorry.... Azazelx, should be useful to have in my box of goodies, have you ever used the instamold?

Small update for you today I have been home with a pretty nasty chest infection so even though I've got some time on my hands I'm not fully in paint mode! but I had to do something right? yeah I did! so I started working on GFX's Celestial Lions Librarian the blends are a bit rough but I managed to block in all the colours I'm using and just about finish the blue armour on him. I reckon he'll scrub up a treat for him when he's finished!






Hmmm as i typed this I had a frothing dog inform me rather loudly that someone is at the door! SOMEONE IS AT THE DOOR! WOOF WOOF WOOF! and that someone has a supply drop for me.......

That's very nice, the grey works well and the inside of the palm is very natty.

Looking very nice so far Damo

Thank you gentlemen! I should be able to do some more on him tomorrow I also opened my supply drop and got stuck right in to converting my Slaanesh Daemon prince! I couldn't wait, and i think he will look creepy and suitable!

I cut the arms from the Skaven vermin lord and cut down the weapon he had so it was shorter then added the blade from the Daemon prince box set, then I carefully cut one of the heads off Nightmaw, the one that most closely resembles a picture I saw of a Slaanesh Marine a while ago at first I thought the head would be too small but side by side it's the same size as the ones in the kit! go figure!

anyway, here's the first assembly pinned together.






and after a little bit of GreenStuffing around I got the basic body filled in and shaped, now he looks better!



more work tomorrow on him and hopefully I can get him primed and base coated so you can have a better image of him all ready to killlllll! love to know what you think so far

Nice work on the libby Damo. That demon is indeed creepy. Will be fun to see where you take it.

Thanks Gits, he looks a little 'froggy' at the moment until he gets paint :-) i'm thinking a touch of 80's rock as well with a Leopard loin cloth and leather studded wrist wraps!

The Glam-Demon! Maybe some early David Bowie hair...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGH! Bwahahahahahahah! now THAT is awesome and not as actually scary as the original image!

That librarian is sweet damo liking the direction of the demon prince, especially the arms choices, the spikes are a nice extra.

You know in a weird way that actually works

What was the supply drop? just bitz for your demon?

I love all of the things that happened here since I was last online! The Slaaneshi beast is coming on really well and that librarian looks really slick!

Just a few times to see how well it works. (I got it just before I moved). I was able to make a press mould of a decorated lotr shield to replace another that had gone missing and the replacement held up all the detail. I haven't done any 2-part moulds, but if you check out the X-Wing thread, one of the posters there has done heaps with it, making damaged and destroyed X-Wings and Ties.

He's looking excellent mate, those vermin lord arms fitted perfectly. Really looking forward to seeing what you do next with this guy.

Wait no more for progress my friends! but I need to say firstly I TOTALLY LOVE THIS DAEMON PRINCE! seriously I had the image in my head but I'm pleased to say at this stage at least it's going exactly as I planned! I'll show you a few pics down the bottom of this post but firstly, what else have you done today Damo? Oh not much, just went through my supply drop and assembled some models! but what did you assemble?

well, firstly I found this beautiful lady hiding in a box, don't know if i can use her yet but I love the model!


next thing i had to build was my Slaanesh Chaos terminator squad led by a Lord suitably kitted the same! I wanted something not overly chaos-ey in looks but that i can still impress upon you how sinister they are, so I chose the new Dark Angels terminators for the task, studs and robes work for me lol!


and the Scibor body i intend to 'Lord Up'


Yeah, I can hear you saying they're good but too small do you have anything bigger? (that's what she said.... ) anyway..... yes, yes I do...


Wanna see how big he is?.....


Now for lots of pics of the Prince! I love it and can't wait to get into him some more! I've included a few shots if only to try and show you the colour more than anything, it's night now so it was a bit difficult but I think the last one should entice you for more action!




not entirely suitable for children or work.....



Yeah that last pic is closest to an accurate pic of him....

Phew! hopefully now with this update you can really see the direction I want to go with these guys? a bit of 90's GW & 80's rock interspersed with some tastefully evil conversions the normal troops and fighters will be mostly 'standard' although I will use a lot of cut & paste converting using different arms/heads pads etc. while the bigger things i want to do more with, like my 2 Maulerfiends and a Damo version Helldrake

anyway, lets see what you think so far

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
Look forward to what you're going to do to the terminators.

I really like that big robot thing. Very cool model.
Looks like he made the Dreadnought jump with a "BOO".

Good work on the Prince. The purple fade is very cool.
He (and I can see that he definitely is a he) really looks the part of a daemon prince.

You industrious little bugger....


Love the way the demon is coming along Damo. Very nice color choices and execution.

Ya Damo your prince is of to a fantastic start. I'm pretty excited to see this one get finished

Amazing progress! I love that purple flesh fade, great job Nerd!

Great work damo , love the skin tones. With your sculpting skills of genitals you should work for mierce miniatures . I've never been a fan of the sculpt for the decimator, but I'm sure you'll change my mind with this build.
