Now to put things into context in gaming terms I am à wood elf player… dwarves… meh! But I have persevered and painted some for Mordheim. But to be honest I want a lot of these 🙂
Really like the bear heavy cavalry.
Armoured Bear
Dwarf Rangers
This evening I did a bit more on the pair of rangers and a smidge on the mounted dwarf too.
They are nearly finished…
I have come up with a new game… it’s called ‘Guess the model from it’s supports’. Here is your starter for ten
Dwarf Rangers
Tonight I got kicked off the computer so I decided to paint something. The dwarf rangers were handy so they got some paint slapped on them…
Still a fair way to go, but more colour than white now.
A Mobile Shrine
So my mate took his birthday present home with him in the car so I reckon we can class it as a mobile Shrine.
So instead of a pristine shrine, I wanted to go for one that is more run down, hence the faded colours on the building. I also got to work with my home made tufts…
All in all I am quite pleased with how this came out. Next stage trying to repeat it in a scale suitable for 6mm, as well as 15mm too. One day I may even do it in 28mm!
A Small Shrine
It was my mates birthday a couple of weeks ago and as I am seeing him tomorrow I thought I had better getbmy finger out and make him something,
I made him a small Japanese shrine for his 15mm Sengoku Monster Hunter games.
Basically he can put in either the ancient tree trunk or the building. I will add some tufts etc tomorrow.
These pieces come from the newish shrine set.
Back with the Nam
So, I haven’t been posting much lately. This is in part due to laziness and part due to playing too much Ark Survival Evolved.
I did get this lot photographed this evening… the boat crew were printed about 3 weeks ago and the engineers and sappers about two. The latter were taken off the supports this evening and then left in the sun to cure.
This evening I also shrank down and printed some Samurai stuff from 3D Alien print. hopefully you will see a painted example tomorrow.
Painting Windows
I actually got my butt into gear this evening and got some paint onto the Hog. To be honest there are so many things wrong with this miniature that it is going to become a test miniature… well unless I suddenly like it:)
I will carry on with this over the next while and see how it goes.
I am going to try and get hold of some decals to help with numbers etc.
I Found Some Green
Today I suddenly realised that I had a can of Army Painter green. Joe brought it back for me ages ago. But well done past me for asking for it.
The Hog looks a bit better now that it is green.
Well this whole thing got me thinking, the rotor sticks out a long way forward and we will not even talk about much it would stick out sideways. So in my rather foolish brain I wondered about electronically boring out magnet holes in the rotor and the fuselage.
This would mean in game all of the rotors wouldn’t be bow/stern. There could be some variations.
Over the next few days I will work on this and see what I can come up with painting wise. I am actually going to have to use normal paint! Eek!
Upgrade on the Huey
Well as promised I decided to prehollow out the huey before using the slicer to do it. It seems to have worked! I went to town by shoving a cylinder inside the rear compartment and then in the software subtracting it. This left a big cylindrical void that meant that it was a lighter model, but also that there are no places where the resin can pool.
The blue light you can see is a small uv light that I made to fit inside hollowed out models. This thing has more holes than a Swiss cheese. But it does allow the cleaner to get inside easily and to empty out easily too. I might cover up the holes, but there again I am going to be shoving various crew in there, so the holes won’t be as visible.
I also did some rotors on the filament machine and put them on a higher setting. They have come out very nicely.
A Few More Dwarves
Well if you remember I finished my dwarven warband for Mordheim. I did have to proxy a couple of miniatures for inexperienced fighters. This has now been solved by Highland Miniatures bringing out some dwarf rangers.
So here we have a pair of lightly armoured dwarves. The mounted one in the background is there because there was space on the build plate.
