The March of the Trolls!!

I finished up my eDoomy the other day and decided I'd put up a group shot of my crew.  I also included a single close up of each model in the small group. 

Hopefully this small group continues to get bigger and bigger. 

Now for the pics:

Ahh.... Thursdays off... I think I Love it!!

So, with school starting up I have the good fortune of taking Thursdays off wooty woot!  This mainly because I will need to be dropping off and picking up from Kindergarten and 3rd Grade, as well as take care of my 13 month little princess.

Nap time is a wonderful time to sit down and crank out some painting!

I did a bunch of work on my Epic Doomshaper.  Love the rules... hated the goofy looking pose of his fig.  So I took some liberties and repositioned his arms... now the goofy looking fig looks freakin rad!  Looks like he's ready to go all Bruce Lee on some ones A---errrr... Butt! ;-)

Anyhow I am probably 95% finished with this guy, just thought I'd throw him up here for ya'll to look at.

Oh, and don't worry I got plenty done on my Beastman as well... I'll be finishing him up and posting my final on him tomorrow.

Anywho, enough with the talk...

 

 Well there he is... I'll get him finished here this weekend Im sure.  Ill post him up ASAP.

Thanks for watching!

Breast Cancer Donation Fig has been Donated...

Calandra has a new home now. She was donated yesterday for the Breast Cancer event as was auctioned off for $60.00. The event was for a great cause and I was happy to be a part of it. They raised a total of $430.00 for the cause. That was way cool. If you want to see some of the video from the event I will be posting some clips on our Facebook account. The link is on our front page of the blog. Check it out. I plan on getting another Calandra fig and painting her up in the same scheme for my sons army but I will be putting her into the middle of a stream. My touch of pink for the cause was her fingernails. Thanks again to Scotty for suggesting the green, red, yellow scheme.

Cheers,

Breast Cancer Donation WIP...

Well I didn't get to this fig as much as I had hoped during the holiday. I finished the blue and red hood only. I did a base coat on each of the main color I wanted to have. Then I did a darker wash on both. The blue was just a darker blue and the tomato red was a bit a black mixed in the red for the wash. After that I took the original color and added a bit of water and retardant to the paint to thin it up. I high lighted the area and then added white to both as I built it up. Basic and quick. Trying to make it look like a good table top figure.

Breast Cancer Donation....

Well this is a late post but it is for a good cause. I was going to post the spaceship interior I was doing earlier this week but at the last minute I decided to paint a figure for the upcoming Breast Cancer Event at our LHS so it was only fitting that I post the WIP for the mini they asked me to do. So I contact the Press Ganger in charge of the event and he asked if I would do Calandra. I was going to put her together the next day but my weekend got busy which not I am thankful for because if I would have gotten to this blue girl when I purchased her she would have been on a normal flat base with not to many features. Due to the delay I had time to think as I drove around doing errands and it came to me to elevate her and have a waterfall running on the base. I used some slate that I have left over from my kitchen floor and glued a couple of pieces together and used a die to elevate her. Once they were dry I attached her to the top with some supporting rocks around her foot to add strength. Once that was all done I mixed some Sculpta Mold and filled in the gap below the slate and then inserted some slate fragments to give it some flavor. Now she is drying and I will spray her tomorrow and start working on her. This will be a fun project and for a worthy cause.

Cheers,

John...
