I think a flamer and a boltpistol is an ideal mix... frist grill´em then serve them right... lol...

Viktor von Domm - You are the master of Grot grilling at the moment.

Here is my finished Heavy Weapon Guy, the downside from these pictures is that some of the melta has some red showing grrrr. (base coated in red) I will have to revisit this bit.









I put the static grass on this morning, for the photos, and it seems its still a bit loose but that is fair enough.

And "Flamer Joe" as he came out of his jiffy bag (that he was put in when i moved nearly 2 years ago. :s



I definitely need to base coat some of my other minis so i can mix up what i paint to keep me enjoying it. I have the bike and my Ork Boss in the mix, but i can't start the Ork boss until after fathers day (when i have asked for a new can of black paint) I was going to base coat the bike yesterday but it was raining when i got home from work :(

That multi=melta is so ludicrous... I love it!

Well they are super soldiers from the far future, there is a certain amount of ludicrousness to all of it

Spify picture-fu there, the light is ideal currently. I see some painting errors apart from the melta issue, I say this as I think generally this model looks super but needs a few touchups here and there, backpack vents/grill and there us a small blob at the chests aquilla...

Never done touch ups before, now is a good a time as ever

yeah, do it, that model deserves to be perfect...! cause I think your shoulderpads are mindblowing... I love that flow of colour hues...

Multi-Melta dude is a brilliant model and awesome paint job. Love it. Vik is right (as always) it deserves that little more.

Viktor von Domm & Camkierhi - Ok i have touched him up.

He has had his metallics and chest touched up, and will need a rewash of the metallics tonight.

I continued to work on my next Tactical marine, he has had his red and purple done, and i'm progressing through his bone.






Hmm again I can see patches on the metallics ... hmm i think I will need to pay better attention to them in the future. (i think its needs a further coat, after having thinned the paint. And me getting to impatient and wanting to continue lol)

Well i have touched up the Multi Melta guy, and now Flamer Joe is finished. This having 2 jobs, a son and a pregnant wife puts a dent in my painting time lol.






I tend to take the photos in the morning before work, and my phone is at such an angle that i can not see the pictures I have taken, so I don't always get a chance to check them. It seems in the last one it focused on the wrong point. But it does show me i need to clean up the pistol barrel, because it had been drilled.

I wonder who i will pull out of my drawer next. May not find out until Sunday though. Have a good weekend people.

Ungh, also it looks like the black on the shoulders is too thin as well.

I think it looks great M0rdian... pat yourself on the back! Touch up the black and silver, and you'll be all set.

gotta agree, the marine looks super cool.
after the barrels are done I look forward to the next surprise marine^^

Thanks Gitsplitta & Viktor von Domm he has received a touch up, and the next one is on the pots ready to be painted.

So pleased with the =L= Terrain competition, it was great fun and i came 3rd A proper nerdy "squee" moment. Here are my final pics.











I learnt some new things, like using plasticard and rusty weathering. So looking forward to the next one. The theme is "The Throne" as in latrine/toilet. I have been thinking about what to do, but i am going to try and keep the size down, as my son is due in the next 6 weeks, so i will ahve other tings on my mind lol.

Missed flamer Joe getting finished - good job.

And congrats on placing in the last comp - nicely done and some good weathering there.

Yeah, small sounds good - you're going to be even more busy than usual shortly

Beautiful job on that terrain piece! Going to be the pride and joy of any gaming table it's on.

Congratz mate! Well deserved!

Lol...that will be an awesome crazy idea...the judges will love it!!!

Oh..and six weeks...packed all of your/ her stuff already, have you?

monkeytroll - Thank you.
Gitsplitta - Hopefully if i enter enough competitions i will actually have enough terrain for a game. ... not that i have played in a few years lol.
Viktor von Domm - Thank you, i was surprised. But very pleased. The Babys nursery is ready, we have emergency bags packed, but hopefully we will be having a home birth, as long as he is the right way round

Now i just have to think about how i sculpt a mound of living poop.

Depending on the comps time frame, you will soon get way more than enough reference material for this mount poop you're thinking of...

Hotmelt glue.

And LOL Vik, oh yeah plenty of reference material.

Viktor von Domm - Yes plenty of reference material. Not sure if i should take photos and post on here though lol.
Camkierhi - That is a great idea Thanks

So I had D&D yesterday evening and introduced a couple of friends into it, so I was more involved , and was not able to play around while gaming So afterwards i tipped out my Jar of random crap and had a look for something to create a toilet. I need to think about a way to solidify the bowl a bit. I may use it as a frame work and smooth some milliput over it. I am also gathering up some coffee stirrers to use as the planks for the walls.

Look at the size of that thing...

Yeah this morning I did think it was a bit large, but then i may just have to think about who uses it, maybe its for an Ork Warboss rather than a Guard grunt

Thanks to the Wetherspoons for providing me with some coffee stirrers Not sure how much i will get done as i have to pack for a Holiday, as its my Brothers Wedding this weekend and i will be away for a week. (leaving my pregnant wife at home alone :s )



And how behind the times is TinyPic?

Well I'm now back from a week away for my Brothers Wedding, in the lovely sunny Jersey (Channel island) I had a great time with my son, and family, but my wife had to stay behind as she was 34 weeks pregnant.

Now that i am back and my wife is less stress out about being alone and heavily pregnant, i have had time to continue to play around with my pretend toilet, and excremental.

I covered the toilet bowl so it was less likely to make a mess when used.


Exploded walls and door have taken shape


The part formed loo in place for sizing.


A day passes and i do some more work, now the toilet has taken better shape.


The excremental is taking shape.


Then the coveringof hot glue.


And some facial features. I was going to use BB's for his eyes, but i decided they were too big, and sued some beads, left over from my wife's wedding flowers. and cut the BB up into a mouth/beak of sorts.


I need to try and get as much done before my wife gives birth as possible, as after that it will be slow progress lol as i will have my own poop demon to deal with

haha that looks awesome! Even in this stage it looks slimy and pretty putrid..... in a good way! give it a brown coat and it is going to be pretty darned repulsive! haha!

Looking great, slightly Kellogs chicken like for some reason, not sure if that is a bad thing.

Hahah, i will probably add some more glue over the top of the eyes for a more pronounced eyebrow. which should help. I'm sure the green underneath and the yellow beak don't help the matter atm. LOL

The Toilet, The Toilet,
The Toilet of Doom!
It'll getcha, it'll getcha,
And flush you down the loo!

"But I don't like going to the toilet in dark, Dad!"

"Shut up, Timmy, there's nothing to be scared of..."

Lookin' hilariously gruesome, M0rdain, well done!

Thanks Cosmic

Just looked up the Kellogg's roosters name, and its Cornelius. So i may have to make sure i model a bit of corn in the poop

I bet you will be able to have a bit of hobby time squeezed in your schedule once your family is grown in numbers still...
with my two kids I just had to decide between sleep and stuff I like....and I can always cut on my sleeping habits...^^

the poop demon looks amazing... shockingly amazing... the toilet is also a piece of tech and art...and I totally like the scenic approach you went for... it has a very strong comic vibe to it... your´s will be a tough constant piece....damn...

but as a german, I need to ask... what in the seven hells name does BB stand for??? enlighten me...

Viktor von Domm - Hopefully yes there will be time, and there was when my first son was born, just altered priority's for a while

BB= Ball bearing, but in this instance it was a plastic one from a BB gun

Now Cornelius is looking slightly less chickeny
