Love the doggies.

Stretch looks really great, solid work bud, nice true scaling.

And I really love the "Facilities", just a brilliant piece.

Thanks Cam

Designing the cat mascot was a right pain (MS paint is not what it used to be) so really appreciate the kind comments

PanO force from operation ice storm finished
(well finished until i get my PanO decals)


Pictures of the Father Knight are in the previous post.
But heres better pics of my Orc



Nothing new on him just better pics than earlier in the thread.


My re-done Fusiliers





Really happy with the work on the first guys face and the white bits help make them pop a bit more.

Nisses Sniper





Not used the head fin because i don't like them just filled in the hole with green stuff.


Paratrooper





Converted him a bit by swapping his knife so i can call him a British Paratrooper instead of what he actually is . Again not used the head fin because i don't like them.

The yellow bit on the backpack is supposed to be a caution sign.

Group Shot


Very happy Ive managed to finish them off, even tho I've not managed to do what i had actually planned for this month.

Thanks for looking
Please drop a comment if you like what you see or have any feedback, I really appreciate it and it helps keep be motivated.

That is a nice set of models there. I like the blue-grey color. What is your mix? The Union Jacks are transfers, I hope-- no human hand could paint those so well...

Cracking stuff! Nice and consistent, and I like the Father Knight in silver, definitely brings out the knightly aspect!

Really nice looking set. Great colours, really nice feel to them. Good job sir.

Looking like a UK in space special forces unit,,,,like one may have seen if Hyperspace continued, then they could fight the Lolakiss!

They look good. I like the way you did the Father-Knight. He actually looks like, well, a knight And I'm thinking I might try something like that for mine.

Since you did request feedback... please go back and re-do the eyes on the female fusilier. You did a fine job on the 2 male fusiliers. Bring the female up to the same quality as the 2 males. Use magnification if you have to. (It's allowed, really. )

Infinity stuff is looking awesome. I really like the sword dude, he's one badass mofo.

Looking forward to seeing the progress on the DW. I admit true scaling looks super cool, but I wouldn't have the patience to do it.

Thanks all really appreciate all the comments

Union jacks are definitely decals, a custom set from the fallout hobbies kickstarter.

the blue is
AP gray primer
one coat of GW Calgar Blue
all washed with AP Dark tone
Non recessed areas painted with calgar blue again
then highlights with a mix of 1 part AP white and 2 parts Calgar blue again.

"Good" knights should always be in shiney armour (knights that think their good anyway)

Really appreciate the feedback, she is a bit google eyed isn't she and it really comes up in pics, ill correct that this week

not thought about getting a magnifier before might be worth a look, I've gotten lucky recently but eyes are a bit hit and miss for me.

i love the father knights pose.

true scaling is a mega pain and you've got to be a bit mental to do it. i wish i wasn't so OCD about scale that it didn't matter, but it is rewarding when you see the final marine next to a guardsman or something from another range (its also like pringles once you pop you can't stop)

Re-did the fusilier girls eyes ill have pics up tomorrow.

Until then Crashed car






And because it had to be done



I wonder is this a British thing? or do other countries feel the need to write clean me on dirty cars too.

I think "wash me" is the American version.

Love the car. Is that one of the Mars Attacks cars?

Was always partial to"also available in white".

Good work, looks great.

Yeah it's from the Kickstarter I'm surprised Antenocities haven't started selling them.

Re-did my Lady Fusilier


Eyes are a lot better(less goggle like, this is the 4th attempt at the eyes)
I brightened up the hair too.

And updated Group shot for the front page.


Thanks for looking

Hobby haul for august



Hasslefree mystic panda
infinity Achilles
Zing Vents
Bloodletters
MDF scenery
micron pen

£47 Spent but all but the Micron pen paid for by funds earned by selling stuff on eBay.

So £25 goes into the Warhound bank
£40 saved so far (11.42% there)



August finished bits



Nothing that I had planned to do aside from The terrain Piece. But I'm really happy to have finished my Icestorm PanO.

MDF stairs

In the above hobby haul i picked up these MDF kits.



I really like them but they are designed to be built for Necromunda style scenery so theres no top shelf (to allow you to slide the cardboard/MDF floors in)



As a solution I made a step using some spare stairs and MDF “sprue”




Much better



And here it is painted and ready for a game of deadzone this evening.






Blainetober
Found my Blaines for “Blaintober”


Thought i had a Blaine from deadzone too but i don't will try to pick one up on eBay before October

Thanks for Looking

That staircase is pretty neat. Is it size-compatible with Battlezones? Also, I'm jealous of your Blaine On Dinosaur. I was one of the backers who didn't get one because they ran out or whatever.

Very nice touch up work. Like the MDF stirs.

Thanks Both

@Josh the levels art a perfect fit (about 5mm too short but they fit in well.


is that a never ever on you getting the dino blaine or just a delay like they had with some of the dungeon saga stuff?

Lady is looking better, stairs are awesome, going to have to take the plunge on these things. That lump of terrain in that last pic looks brilliant. If it is only 5mm, that is nothing, but if you are worried, small base pads would make up the difference.

Wow, that's a nifty DZ setup. Maybe one day I'll get around to building something like that.

From what I've heard, Mantic was unable to produce enough of those Blaine on Dinosaur models for everyone, so they just gave up. I was one of the unlucky ones who didn't make the cut.

Well September and October have been a hobby fail (real life has just been silly busy and i haven't even gone back to rugby yet)

Got only two minis and 2 sets of stairs finished in September



Showed the yellow stairs before, green are similar but with green bits instead of yellow.

Mars attacks Heroes[b]

Not happy with the eyes on either of them, details were pretty soft on these minis and ill be honest lost patience with the faces.








and nothing finished in October :(

years total is up to 86 minis finished, want to get to at least 100 done this year.


[b]Hobby Spend

September was pretty good only spent £30 so £20 into the Titan fund.

bringing the total to £60…….

October the whole of the max budget was spent on the star saga kickstarter

And this months max hobby budget has been spent on the battle systems kickstarter already so ill likely go over budget this month :(

Those Mars Attacks! models look pretty good, especially given how tiny they are and the lack of details. I have no doubt that they look great at tabletop distance.

TA josh I was well late for blaintober but


BLAINE

Enjoyed painting this guy cause he's Blaine




Hoping to have my other blaine’s finished shortly. well hoping to actually get some decent time painting and lobbying but finishing the blaine is top priority.

That's a nice entry for Blainevember. Is that the DZX version? I don't have that one, or at least I couldn't find it before I ran out of enthusiasm for the project.

Cheers dude

It's the original dreadball one, should have the mars attacks and jetbike Blaines finished by Wednesday, I'll leave the fantasy ones for the next Blainetober

There was a Blaine in DB1? I didn't back that KS, so I haven't a clue about the exclusives. I look forward to seeing your Blaine on Jetbike so I can steal your paint scheme. Mine has been sitting on my painting station, assembled and primered but unpainted, for about a month.

Theres always a Blaine

hope you like the bike


Mars Attacks Blaine

Probably one of the best detailed minis to come out of the mars Attacks kickstarter.




happy with how he came out.

Deadzone Jetbike Blaine

This mini benefits from the new PVC used in the last kickstarter.



and he’s pretty bloody nice, nice detail, cool bike and and awesome coat




put a bit of weathering on it as Blaine docent strike me as the type of person to keep his kit in pristine condition (just look at his coat)



Very, very happy with how this came out. been quite subtle (for me at any rate) with the highlights and resisted the urge to make the bike goo busy with freehand.

Thanks for looking

Both Blaines looking awesome!

Very nice indeed. The red spot colors on the MA Blaine really appeal to me, as does the racing stripe on the jetbike. I'll have to work mine back into the painting queue now.
