Yea that Tomb Spider is awesome. You have really done a good job of not over stepping too much OSL. Thank you for sharing.

That lightbox is great, what did you make it out of and what are you lighting it with? Do you have to do much postwork on the photos? I ask because my attempt at making one was a dismal failure and I'm trying to get a good one up and running.

I'm derailing your thread, though - the minis are great, I love the understated OSL. You've hit just the right balance imo, it's not all over the place or even necessarily the dominant feature of the minis, but it's bright enough to stand out and it really looks as though it's glowing.

That OSL looks really nice and bright.

Hey thank you again guys for the great comments ! Yea I agree that the osl should look natural and not Tron like lol! But everyone has their own taste and style and that's what makes this hobby so diverse and fun. I like the realism of my models as much as possible. Kinda like my Dark Angels. Don't get me wrong I like the GW look but it looks to cartoonish to me. Sorry started rambling

Ok back to the comments . @the Kvlt Ghost - I bought the light box on Amazon and if you look at the older post you will see a link someone has posted.

Hey everyone forgot to post the completed picture of the Canoptic Spyder plus I saw our local Dakkite PaintStuff's painted Servo Skull (Awsome) and took a crack at one myself. Let me know what you think.
There is more pictures on my blog.

"Woah, that's a pretty cool looking Spyder" - Thing 1 (He especially likes the OSL.)

Amazing job on the skull, puts my re-paint of it to shame.

Thanks Gits glad you like both. I got a steady staple of customers asking to paint their servo skull. Hell GW should've done it that way to begin with

I agree completely. I just did the details on mine but the more I see "fully painted" skulls the more I want to go back and finish mine properly.

Hey everyone! Well I have been working on and off on Canis which is a amazing sculpt but in Failcast its not fun filling bubbles and dipping parts in hot water to make things straight!?! Anyways I am pretty much done airbrushing all the parts and now to detailing and some washes. So Nerdfest09 here you go brother you can finally see it up close.

Interesting treatment with the lighter colors on the bottom (of the wolf) and darker on top. Very effective.

Looks good GD1 :-) .... but is that a couple of nice Deathwing termies i see in the background? lol



No, really dude he's coming along nicely, goes to show us nerds really look at every image posted! can't wait to see him finished!

Well done as always!

Thanks guys glad you like how it's turning out. After painting the LC I realize there was several bubbles and went to fill them then snap!!!!! bubbles in the claws made it more fragile. I soaked it in hot water earlier last week to straightened it but now it's worse!
Damn you GW damn you! Ok will update you guys soon.

Man I hate Finecast

Looking good grey! I like canis!

@HAZZER!

Ok now my Dark Angels on the back burner due to picking up another commission of Malifaux models,and man I gotta say these sculpts are awsome. I started them Satuday night and here is the progress on them.

Oooh... new toys!

I do like the Malifax style of art. They do a good job of making the elementals look daunting. Your paintjob adds a good bit to this feeling!

Yea but gotta give them back when I am done

Thanks and yea most of the models do give you a sense of emotion. GW use to make one off figures that moved you but now pretty static now these day

If you want to see more pictures on this commission you can visit my blog click on my website below.

Hey everyone anothwr small update, my garage got to hot today so little painting till tonight.
I satin varnish both models and washed them with a oil wash and did more details on the Snow Storm beast and the Avatar model. Let me know what you guys think.

Very impressive!

Ok small update. I tried searching the web for reference on The Blessed of December and nada. So had to use the box art. So I am very pleased it came out great! Let me know what you guys think. So

Anybody tried using baking soda as snow with any success? I like how the scale model train snow looks but would like to get a fresh powder snow look. Any tips would be nice. Thanks

Yes GD1 I have used baking soda and pva glue on my old SW termies it works well and i've not had any problems with it staying on or discolouring :-)
here's a pic or two:

Thanks NF09 sorry for the late response. I caught a chest cold then picked up several commissions and have hardly anytime to post on my various sites I am on including my own blog .
I will try it out on my commission Malifaux models and post the results. Thanks again.

You see GD1, my snow effect was so realistic it gave you a cold! :-)

Lol hope not just got over it . BTW yup it worked I dont do too much snow scene bases but got that feather in my cap now thanks again.

Ok my Malifaux commission is over and now on to my other commissions of a basic DA paint job and 1 Helldrake and 2 Forgefiends. Here is some pictures of the Malifaux guys.

Wow GDO... just wow. I love the contrast between the crystalline blue thing and the female form coming out of his chest. Love the winged woman as well. Very nicely done my friend.

Thanks Gits yea it's one of my favorites too. Wish the scale is a bit more bigger. These models remind me of the 80's Ral Partha minis very small and details could be better, that's why I switched to Citidel during the sametime which had better details.
