Got a bunch of Basti from Croc mail order, enough to fill out my 1000 point plan, so started playing around with sculpting some armor on some of them (usual female Basti boob spoilers) Thanks to whoever put some ratings on my titan stuff-I think you're rating it a wee bit high, but its still nice to know somebody likes them!Īnd then of course, wouldn't be me if I didn't start another bunch of projects before the old ones were done. That said, still a lot of work to be done here-haven't even washed the scales on the lizard, and I think everyone's boots and leather will need another pass of base before I can start washing them.įor the Reaver, all I did was just glue on all but the shin pads, without further painting, just to feel like I did something-not really going to show that. May try vallejo's grey wash later on the bunnies.
Might even get done this month.Īctually did start washing and highlights on the challenge entry grenadier stuff:īiggest issue here is turns out I have no idea what color to use on that somber grey! Black wash gets too stark, and purple just looks wrong. Mostly just filling in flag holder tabs, coloring lacings, and cleanups. Man, April's just screaming by, and I'm nowhere near as done as I want to be.īunnies are around four-five colors from being able to start washing and highlights: Just need to do all the bamboo and the banner poles, and then can move on to detailsĪnd a little progress on the challenge models for the month:Ībout ready to move on to washes there I think. Both this one and the last warhound are magnetized, this one including the torso, so this is kinda still at mockup level, but hey, still usable!Īlso got some other small stuff done. The Reaver in question is coming along though!Īgain, just a small eternity of trim left. I think I really am gonna take a break from these after the Reaver is done though, as I am feeling burnt on them. One more assembled one to do, and three total to get to 1750.
I gotta get a better way to do the trim (and the feilds for that matter on these, they take forever, and its grinding me down, but hey, another down.Ĭame out kinda rough even by my normal standards, but I can do more cleanup later. Still not getting as much done as I want, but there is progress.īiggest one: Warhound Titan #4 is done. Just put in an order from Crocodile games for the last troopers I need for the base army.Īnother week down. Need to get back to the Basti at some point before July, if historicon even ends up happening.
Far from the ones I've had longest unpainted, but given at least one of them is bottom stamped 1979 by a company that went out in 1996, and I only date to the mid 80s, they very much win on "oldest ones I own." They're mostly done base coating, just need eyes and metallics, then its cleanup, wash and highlight time.Īnd finally, made a few more passes on the rabbits. There was a subchallenge some people were talking about on "paint the oldest mini you've got unpainted", so I did a little digging and research, and pulled these guys out. Its "pile of shame" this month, and goodness knows mine is big enough. Also, front view of the months challenge entries. With the third head sitting in loosely for mockup.

Plus side, finally got a conversion I like with the fourth warhound, so down to grinding down the paint on him.Īs it sits, with the primed panels to finish off the reaver once I get the detailing there done. You'd think with four days off in a week, I'd get more painting in, but only a bit actually did. I kinda like the vest and the yellow fur, and some of the knee pads, but I'm kinda down on the general quality of work there.
Sadly, bad handling and bad painting means they're already chipping a bit. On other furry thing news, for those who don't follow the dakka painting challenge, I finished up the werewolves for it: You can tell their older sculpts still soldiering on. Really, they're cut minis, but man is the casting and sculpts kinda bleagh-just lots of flash and shallow detail. Just gotta do a solid bit of highlighting (and repaint in one strap), after a bit more "oops" corrections.Īlso started putting a bit more base colors onto the rabbits, because I should probably occasionally have some furry things from time to time if I'm gonna call the thread that: Now to just get that core torso modeled.Īlso did a bit more on the old Crucible Void Hunters: Just got the legs done and mounted, as well as some other peices (including the top gun for the Reaver). A little late this week due to extra off time, and wanted to have something to show on the titan.
