I should fething smear the thing into the monitor at this point.

My entry or no, the thread's going up, I'm fed up.


That's harsh, I think we all knew you finished on time.

Congratulations to everyone else who made it, as is painfully obvious....I didn't!
But just for interest, here's a flip-paint base coated gene stealer, managed to finally get the mix right this morning bit late!

Holy gak, that is amazing!
Mind telling me what you used? I've been looking for a petrol mix to do a Magma dragon with since I bought it. Closest I could find is Spaz Stix but it's not available in the UK.

Just retyping all the options at the minute. I had to restart.

That's very clever. Nicely done.

What! Giveaway my secrets! Then someone else might do better with it!
Bought the powder on eBay, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251846240587?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&var=550748484871&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Then mixed with Vallejo gloss varnish and airbrushed over black undercoat.
They do quiet a few different colour mixes and it's pretty cheap, I only bought 5g but it's gonna last ages.

Oh wow, thank you so much. I thought you had to buy giant cans of mixing fluids to use those pigments... I'm not very clued in on candy paints. I'm hoping to get a vaguely this-like effect on my big fat dragon, I think of him being tarry and rough.
Don't worry, it's a totally different outcome to a beetly alien, the Magma dragon has a very coarse skin, like an iguana I think.

@Januine and TP: Nooooooooo! Such a shame you guys couldn't make it, your entries were both looking very promising! Take care of yourselves, and remember that even if you only have a couple of minis done you can submit them and still get the point! Similarly, if either of you finish in the next few days then let me know and I'll see that you get completion points.


Thanks Para, I'll try and get at least one finished and post here. You can decide re completion points. In fact, I'll do some straight after writing this! (Oh and after entering for next month and gluing that entry together)
