Hobby Weekender 19/10/2018 – The Directors Cut Limited Edition Box Set

[woldenspoonsParticipant 3557xp 1]

@evilstu @oriskany Well you know me, all about the historic accuracy.

All this talk though does lead me to my thoughts about a long term project with Ultramarines. Basically, find a battlefront the Primaris were deployed too and try to match them. Sounds fun. Look out for the projects soon. If anyone would like to give me any pointers how to begin I would be very grateful.

Wasn’t the Star Wars Holiday Special the first actual appearance of Boba Fett?  Riding a dinosaur it some such (animated segment)?

[sundancer 43003xp 2]

You’re right @oriskany Some sort of long necked Dino

On the Topic of Boba Fett here is the progress I made today. I really love the model. It’s so easy to paint and so much easy to pickup details.

And now: Bed. Good Night everyone. (it’s 11pm after all. or 23:00 for those with proper clocks ;))

[sundancer 43003xp 2]

Good morning everyone. Today it’s homeoffice for me. Daughter has fever and a cold… so please post many nice miniatur pictures for me to enjoy 😉

Okay, did some slight work on Fett with highlights, touch ups and washes, but not very much compared to my first day

Washes on my Magma Troopers. Looks gorgeous imho. Gonna get drybrushed later and do the blacks. These might be surprisingly quick to do.

More progress on my Night Goblins, albeit crap quality photograph.

And same with my Bayourks

Sorry I haven’t been replying to individual people here, especially those who tagged me, or messaging much in general on this. Needed some down time after some stuff went on over the last few days with work/home/family/other stuff. Im finishing my night shift in the next hour approximately. Then I will sleep it off.

 

Then I have a free house and am babysitting my parent’s Dobermans. I shall partake in hobby. It shall be good. Also, youtube and netflix. Im rewatching Bleach. Im hoping to:

 

(1) Drybrush the storm troopers above twice, getting them to a nice, poppy, layered looking red. This should be quicky with the size of the drybrushes I have and how quick a technique it is. Ill probably also manage to paint the bases black and guns. Probably not much else with multi tasking, but that’s still really good.

 

(2) Wash and hilight my bayourks. I hope to get them up to 70% complete by this evening and possibly finished tomorrow. With that, I will have my Bayourk Start Warband and Battle for Troll Bridge Warbands complete. Fourteen models in all. Then when I get paid Friday I won’t feel bad adding more to the crew. Specifically these:

(3) Boba Fett will take longer since he is not part of a batch, and is at that stage where I am doing washes on different parts of the model in different colours which need to dry. He’s sort of a ‘to do between Orcs/Orks’.

 

(4) Grind away on the Goblins. Touch ups, washes, highlights, so on and so forth.

 

(5) I have some questions and feedback on my models i will post up shortly when I get a chance. I could use community feedback 🙂

[sundancer 43003xp 1]

@mage why is your Boba not on the flight stand? Did you opt for a different pose or is just your flight stand missing? 😉

Also your embedded pictures look weird… have you got the embedded code wrong? horizontally vs vertically?

Keep it up sir. 🙂

[mageParticipant 20596xp 2]

I might have the code wront

 

and I reposed Boba is he’s mid spring and not flying

[horati0nosebl0wer 19649xp 2]

Ugh.. I’m back. Its been a shit Sunday and a slightly better Monday. My car got totaled on the way into work trying to get there early. I’m alright but waiting for insurance adjustment to see how much I can get back to buy another. In the meantime I’m trying to keep the nerves down hoping I don’t miss too much work. I made the mistake of trying to do some painting and screwed up the face of the Halloween pinup and I’m putting off hobby detail work. I’ll finish it later but scrap the competition. Getting back here is good because I found my modem died after I got home so today I got to replace that after a hike into town and back. Alas, that has been my tale of woe and sadness… hobby time will help. So back at this thing.

@mage The voice of Japanese women can be varied slightly but the videos I put up do tend to sound similar. I’ll post some things later for earbleach the likes sundancer was kind enough to toss in.

@evilstu Yes! Drink is a great song to listen to and is a great segue for rickabod41. I will see that and raise you

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXMfdpjnAHU

@rickabod41 Whisky rambling is always good. Check out the comic “Milk & Cheese” and enjoy some booze fueled hijinks

@oriskany Yes, you’re right about Blue Max being WWI. It must’ve been one of the other boxes I looked at when I was a kid. I  think I remember checkerboard pattern for some reason on one of the chits. It might’ve been one of the German planes with their ostentatious designs.

@querion I really like the way that wash came out on the bow and quiver for your figure. The detail shaded ever so slightly really is impressive.

@a27cromwell Check out Kromlech minis for some great looking pilot orks. If you are going to use the figure you already have there then you can get a head swap to plop onto him.

@sundancer Great BB work and Star Wars. Seeing great games pop up makes me think “Yes, I should spend money to play this” then I realize.. there’s not too many people near me to play against. Warma-Hordes and 40K is what I look around and see mostly so I drop into pickup stuff and delve into display stuff. To have the skill (and time) to 3d sculpt my hearts desire… besides a waifu.

Since the music sounded close to the same thing earlier I’ll toss in some stuff that breaks from the “idol” genre.

Something a bit more more drawn out in the vocals

Something more drawn out in the vocals that reminds me a little of Xandria (going back to Napalm records) but nowehere near as operatic

And now for something completely different..

Sleep calls

[sundancer 43003xp 1]

@horati0nosebl0wer good to hear that nothing happened to you. Legion can be nice for display too 😉

[rayzryrParticipant 22410xp 1]

@evilstu your nephew has started in the hobby? “One of Us! One of Us! One of Us!”

As for the Commoners, yes I think I too will be looking for those at retail. I found this one too!

And their website:

Tiny Furniture

Hmm, at $13 a mini for townsfolk, it’d have a ghost town… lol! Jessica Jones S2 and Luke Cage S2… in my opinion the writing was showing. In both season I felt like characters made decisions at random then changed their mind for the sole purpose of the story running out the 13 episodes. I still enjoyed the shows and some of the decisions could be attributed to emotion rather than rational thinking. But, I noticed it. Oh well. I’ve watched the first ep of Iron Fist, my mate Damian says S2 is much stronger than s1. But yeah, I’m definitely looking forward to Daredevil!

@oriskany thanks!

The Mantic Orcs are more detailed than I expected. I’m just trying to get them done quickly ?

@querion good work on that Elf. I especially like the work you’ve done on the bow and the metal. How will you tweak the metal plate?

@a27cromwell that’s a cool description of how you work. I guess that links back to the question @evilstu asked this week.

That Ork Bomber: that’s a happy little accident ?

I also reckon it looks better like that, aerodynamics be damned!

@sundancer @mage Fetts! Fetts everywhere!! Anyone would think he was cloned!

Both Fetts are looking great, man Yu guys are really representing those Star Wars minis well.

@mage take your time man, when your ready we’ll be here to chat ?

the Magma troopers are cool. After I first your project, I totally fell down the rabbit hole looking at all the various kinds of Stormtroopers that have been created over the years. There’s plenty to work with!

The Night Gobbos are cool, what’s the story with the different skin colour? Warpaint or different breeds of Goblin?

@horati0nosebl0wer that’s… not a fun couple of days…

Hope your week gets better!

[rayzryrParticipant 22410xp 1]

So, I’ve got some progress on the Orcs. I was hoping to be further along, but I had some other stuff to take care of yesterday. Then I couldn’t find one of my brushes (it was under the backseat in the car)

Base colours are in place on the Orcs, they should be ready to dip. Though it’s too late for that now today, I might try painting it on directly…

Since I haven’t yet contributed to the musical appreciation society this week, I shall submit to you, my fellows, what I suggested in the Saturday Weekender: Fear Factory (Instumental versions) from the Carmageddon soundtrack!

[sundancer 43003xp 2]

@rayzryr Fett cloned? Impossibru! And thank you, I’m doing my best

[elessar2590 18207xp 2]

@rayzryr those Orcs look cool what company are they from?

@mage the minis are looking great, nice mix of Fantasy and Sci-Fi 🙂

@sundancer the Legion stuff is looking amazing can’t wait to see it finished.

@a27cromwell I’m a simple man. I see KV-2 I like. Consider your wing idea stolen 🙂

@oriskany I’m not a fan of the new movies at all, Clone Wars and Rebels are really good TV Series if you’re after a laid back Star Wars experience.

I had a game of Bolt Action at my local gaming ground on Sunday. I lost in an extremely close finale that came down to him wiping out my Section on the objective. No pictures unfortunately.

Other than that I’ve been working on my American Civil War Campaign project that should be updated this weekend as well as getting ready to publish a new WWII/ACW themed Project that I want to have 100% complete before publishing. Here’s a sneak peek.
