I got the same model as a possible model for a Tanith Commissioner. I got it a little while ago now but I'm not 100% sure its 28mm heroic scale.

Great Work on the Cloak TP^DC Deputy Manager, it is very hard to get those folds looking as good as you have.

Proof Pic for me, sadly no conversions or mods this month, just 1 miniature because I really like the pose on this guy and I'm using it as a test to see if I can still paint with everything else going on with the new baby. Also because I said to myself I'd paint a few BA's in the new year

Wow! Thank Midget, that means the world coming from you with all your modding and GS experience. Very grateful for the feedback. Using a wire frame to support while it was curing helped loads.

Best of luck painting with the baby, I found it hard at first, but slowly getting there.

Here's my WIP for my MK IV Blood Raven Sternguard. If you haven't noticed my sig, I have a blog I have just reopened and there'll be the entire process there. I'd really appreciate anyone taking the time to read or skim through anything. If you can't see sigs, here's the link. I swear to God this isn't a shameless plug for my blog.

For various personal reasons, I won't be able to work on my original idea of a Daemonette powered Doomwheel this month.
I'm fine, but the friend who was going to help find me a base is not, so I'm going to wait for better days.

Para do you mind if I move my primed Fulgrim over from the other contest? He wasn't started prior to January, and as above, my mind isn't on modelling.

Hooray! Thanks mate.

Had my first ever venture into decals, micro sol and airbrushing fabrics, so whilst it's minor, this has been another month of "new things".

Actually, on second thoughts; would a Tau Stealth Suit team qualify? I don't know where the base for Zhufor has gone, and I don't think I can stomach making a replacement at the moment.

It's a FW EC golden sheet. It's mostly giant pieces that are not useful unless you own dreads and Knights.

I'm struggling with varnish on it, as you can see. Gloss is too much, and you can't see the gradients, but the previous pic was Purity Seal and I think it looks awful and kills the decal.

I honestly dunno what to do, and I hate slapping on layer after layer of anything.

I'd get some simple artist's matte varnish. will mute the sheen and bring back out the gradients

I use watered down pva glue as a matte, works out pretty well.

I have some Vallejo matt brush on, I'll give it a go.

Unfortunately PVA sort of sweats in my house, must be climate. :(
