new stuff

Fancied starting something new tonight, so I picked up this little gem.

Its a half drow female called Shimmer from Hasslefree. I think I picked it up at Kelham hall in 2007 - Shes been in my bits box ever since.

I really enjoy the detail on the hasslefree stuff - Sometimes not always as clean as Citadel, hasslefree and heresy always seem to cram more little details in for it. You can clean them up, but they're twice as creative. I find that this is particulary true of their female models.

They might have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with sculpting nudity but they're nice models for it.



So yeah, anyway - just a practice peice for me, not a competition or comission or anything. Trying out painting bluesteel with the sword, and more shiney gold trinkets instead of the shiny brass I've been doing in NMM until now. Not sure what to do with the face, being hidden it'll be hard to detail it. Maybe try something with shading.

Warhounds - seeing the light at the end of the tunnell. (Its a train)

Some more little updates, well actually a pretty big one! Legs section - done! Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnell on this one. Lots of grease, muck and oil on there, when everythings done I'll give it a light dusting of graveyard earth too for a finish of dust. Also worked on the right hand "shoulder" The soot needs thinning onto the yellow yet. Note the reconstructed plastic whittled spikes to replace the original resin ones which snapped off almost immediatley. I've got a small list of to do now, thank god - the sides of the body, with some hefty detail, fans, grills, pipes, icons etc, but its all hidden - done one side but the other still to do. The gun servitors inside the weapon shoulders, the carapace metalwork and spikes, rear of the engines and the underside of the weapon mounts. Lots of little bits, considering how much I've already done! (and have still to do, with its sister warhound...)

Fire Masters

  Four years between posts isnt a terrible average is it? In that time we've had a world wide pandemic, 2 presidents, 4 prime ministers, a new government, ok its been a while.  SO - recently I've been finishing off a Titan Legion, and returned to our gaming club - seem to have gotten some other people interested in the game, which is excellent. I chose the Legio Sutorvora, or Legio Infernus / Firemasters, a traitor legion known for their use of prometueum based weaponry. The Eternal Flame. No Bangles involved So my first titans...had no flame weapons. I built the Warlord, reaver and two warhounds with no flamers at all - but did paint alot of flames.  Reaver "Aeternum" Warhounds "Emberatum" and "Canis Destructor" and with paired gatling blasters (forge world upgrade) Warlord " Immolatum Rex " with Apocalypse Launchers Alot of people have complained about the time it takes to paint all the trim and it is fiddley. I built the whole model a...

Thunderbirds are go

Image
Weehee! can there be anything more fun than getting an unexpected package in the post? A package with Japanese mail posting all over it...big box, what can it be? Turns out its the newly released Aoshima 1/350 scale Thunderbird 2, which I pre-ordered in November and promptly forgot all about. I'm not going to get started on this one just yet with all the other work already going on, (see my last post,) but I thought I'd review the kit and contents for you. Shrink wrapped magic The kit itself comes with a hell of a lot of content. The craft itself, the iconic, original 60's TV series transport, is represented in 1/350 scale - but what really attracted me to it was the addition of all of the rescue craft too (not just Thunderbird 4 as usual!) Kit features 11 separate scaled pod machines, including the rolling road transports seen in the first ever episode, Firefly the bulldozer, radio transmitter, lifter, remote line launcher and missile launcher - as well as ...
