Hi all

Nice work on the flame there DaMekBoy1997, looks good.

Thought I'd post a WIP of what I've been up to, I'm quite happy with how ConnOrk Macleod is going, think I'm starting to get more confident with GS now.

Awesome work man!

My entry is coming along



The toaster has bulked up a bit since the proof, here are 3 failed attempts at NMM under the bad paint job you see before you.

Now I need to make a base....

You're painting a toaster. If this was Reddit I'd give you gold.

Thoastor!

Awesome stuff there OMN. LOVING IT!!

Well, I've made progress on my entry, here is a quick WIP shot (excuse the poor photo quality, I was too lazy to get my good camera and just shot this one with my iPod touch):

Lots of work left to do on him, but I feel like he's turning out ok. I'll need to clean up the blue armor before I do any shading (will help make the yellow freehand markings look neater). I've already tested out my edge highlight colors on a regular Crisis suit, and it looks good, so I've got a plan for this guy. Basing should be pretty simple, as well. Love what everyone else is turning out; it should be a pretty cool contest as far as final entries go!

Does anyone know if I can spray prime in -5 celsius?

not a great idea

I wanted to enter, but I overwrote my 'before' picture by accident. : /

Well, then I won't get finished unless I get to my FLGS in a week.

Use a hair dryer to help the primer set quicker. So long as you have kept the spray can indoors before you spray you should be fine.

The main problem people have is that grainy texture forming, which comes from ice crystals forming from moisture in the air and on the model thanks to thermodynamics. This will be less of an issue if the air temperature is below freezing as the air holds less moisture, also helps if the model is dry too.

I recommend testing this on a peice of cardboard or sprue or whatever you don't care about first however.

Since I made the same mistake a couple of months ago when Buttery Commissar was running the challenge and was still allowed to enter, it's only fair I pass that on. So go ahead and just throw up the finished pics when it's done.

Do you have any black paint? There's really no harm in just using that to lay down an undercoat (I've been doing it for years, I hate the texture of primer).

Finished up this weekend:






(Work this weekend on the model)

(Ugh... I need to get that 'picture' setup going for better shots of finished work)

@djphranq - that is really cool!!

Nice! That base is cracking too.

If that's okay with everyone, I wanted to enter Cor'bax Utterblight, Daemon Prince of the Ruinstorm (Since he is a Prince after all)

Holy gak. That already has my vote.

sweeeet- really nice work there fella

Update

May end up dropping out or changing submission, nudging Fullers to Dec.
There was an accident with some Tarmac. I simply don't have time to restart him and do my army. :,(

Buttery! RIP!

Butter fingers.

Not too serious I hope?

Captain Cato Sicarius, Ultramarines 2nd Company. (counts-as) FINAL

Just the huge metal cape came off again, it was held on with epoxy, so I'll have to wedge and glue, and I only have two weeks.
I may end up doing a squad of unique commissars and a female leader, as I need to do them anyway.

here is my entry first model is done, hopefully i can get present and past done in time



i want to put her on a bigger base i ordered them and they haven't come in yet.

buttery for some reason i think you got the ragging heroes fem commissar model

@BC - Yikes!! Hope it all works out bud. Tarmac > plastic :(

My guy is already done for the month, but the model I'm about to paint fits this month's theme, so I'll share some pics anyhow Not as part of the contest but just to be social If anyone is bothered by extra photospam, lemme know, and I'll refrain, hehe.



I'm sure y'all can guess where the fella comes from On a mission. Have to finish him before the BA Chaplain comes out this week, because I'll probably drop everything to work on that, lol.

@ LordRahl - nice job fella. Love the richness or her cloak - really gorgeous colour work

@Talys - you painting the chaplain up as a WB or another legion. Absolutely love his crozius. Saw it painted up in a marble effeect (think that's the official paintjob fig I'm thinking of) and looked pretty belting. looking forward to see him all Talys'd up

LordRahl, nah; I wouldn't touch that balloon-chest-fest with a long-las.

I've got the far more sensible female GW Commissar.

...



Maybe I can make her less... That.
