Cheers ... I can't wait either ... it's a new thing for me

Work on the Ogre sniper continues, now that the Halflings have been sent off for casting. I have continued to bulk out the torso and add the muscle groups. It is almost a shame that all this will be covered over... but at least I have a good foundation to work on:



Next will be the lower back and then the feet and lower legs. Lots to do .

From squats to an Ogre, what ever will he think up next? Have to stay tuned in for the next images!

It appears that Photobucket is holding me to ransom. If I don't pay $399.99 a year, all of my photographs will remain as those photobucket place holders.

I will not be held to ransom so I will be looking for an alternative host. In the meantime, I apologise for the fact that all of my images are gone... and are unlikely to reappear.

I had no warning... the hosting update that apparently happened on 28th June has obviously come into effect. I now know why I have been seeing the place holders on so many forums.

Photobucket is evil

Fortunately, the pictures still work if you 'right click and view image in a new tab' on each of the placeholders... so they aren't completely gone.

It doesn't make it any less infuriating though

Do you have the pictures saved?

I'd recommend switching to Imgur or flickr

I have switched over to Imgur and will be callously forgetting about all of my previous topics in order to leave those nasty placeholders behind.

I will be making new topics and linking to the old ones (just in case people are foolhardy enough to want to right click on old images).

It will take a while though.

Those rats at photobucket! nil carborundum illegitimi.

Those snipers are very charicterfull. Are you casting in resin or metal. If they are resin shoot me a pm as I would fancy getting them

This thread is dead and has been moved over to here:

In answer to your question, they were cast in resin but the greens were then sold to a manufacturer who makes them in metal.

If you want some resin ones, I still have one or two sets left so if you are particularly keen to get resin ones, drop me a PM.



If not, you can get the metal ones here (cheaper than resin):

When they are painted better (my green scheme was more to show them off, than to be used for gaming) , they don't look bad:



Now... don't reply here, use the thread I linked to above ... all the miniatures have images there .

That is absolutely amazing work!
Inspiration to the max!
