Fin

It's official I'm over it. No I didn't have COVID, I mean I'm over this mini! I called it done yesterday.

In the end I don't even hate it. I think that the arm positions are wrong and it's got some other issues (looking at you pig skin), but whatever.

I've done worse.

Back side.

So yeah, that's a wrap. The next next project is the snake-bird thing, whose fantasy name currently escapes me, but I plan to practice on the smaller bat wing dragon beast, (I'm really botching this).

Cheers,

Happy New Year!

Apologies for the shortage of updates, but we moved during the winter "break" and my living room looks like this. 

And that's the best room in the house! Painting hasn't been a priority, but yesterday I just said fudge it, and painted in the garden.

The Grot Walker "Accidents Happen"

It's done. I wasn't sure it was finished, but I painted the base rim black, so it must be done (I think that's a rule or something). Proudly presenting "Accidents Happen". 

Our hero has commandeered an Imperial Guard Scout, he's had too much mushroom tea and it's got as heck of a blind spot...

Boar Riding Greenskin

I generally try and complete one project before embarking on another, but when inspiration strikes it's usually a good idea to embrace it. By jumping headlong into something that inspires you, it's possible to achieve results that you might otherwise think lie outside your skill set.

Case in point is the boar pictured above. I've been sitting on this model for a couple of years, and last night while taking over the kitchen table (the boss is away), inspiration struck!

I'm not an expert with green stuff, but before I knew it I had a Greenskin saddled up. He's a mishmash of parts, and the saddle was sculpted from GS and reaper chains for decoration.

In the beginning it was simple, crude if you will. I probably madden too much GS, but,live and learn.

Then it started to come together. A decorative chain wrap, aka. Ork bedazzling. 

I'm pretty excited. Some more bits here and there, and things should be good.

Keep hacking and tacking,

Grot Walker Concept Art

I'm going to be starting a new project soon and I though I would sketch out some concept art for it. I started by ripping this excellent GW picture (all credit to them). It will be based on the Imperial Sentnel Scout walker.

The plan is to have a Sentinel Scout that has been captured by Gretchin (or as I like to call them Grots). The sketch is admittedly a little rough, but it more or less gets the point across. For some reason the Grots came out looking like radioactive rabbits, but I like where it's going. The Scout will be covered with battle damage and bits of corrugated steel, some kind of platform will exist on the back to hold more Grots. Grots will be hanging off all available parts, and the door will have been replaced by some kind of makeshift corrugated steel paneling. The roll cage will have been removed so that the occupant can be, "thrown clear", in the event that it topples over (safety first).

There might be a squig, or two as well, I don't know, it will depend on what I can dig up. The standard exhaust stack will have been replaced with something more ghetto, maybe some kind of after market "fart cannon", like the kids put on all their riced up cars. The whole operation should reek of Ork quality and attention to detail (or lack there of). I'm hoping that the final product conveys the same kind of feeling that my other Grot project achieved.

 

Stay tuned,
