Temple - WIP

Yes, I do have lots of projects generally all going at the same time.  Newest project is I am building a rather large modular temple.  I still have a ways to go, needing to detail some roof sections and build 3 more roofs for the corners and the entrance tile.  I may make another corner or two though as I feel I could use them., possible a couple more ruined ends also.  I will be sculpting some huge trees onto the ruined pieces and making some smaller ruin stands that are self sufficient later as well.  So far this project has occupied about 8-10 hours of my life . . .

Shadowsea Amatzl Warriors

Here are a couple Amatzl Warriors from the Shadowsea game, which is based on Song of Blades and heroes, which isn't really my bag, but the minis are great.  I need to order some Dark Mariners at some point as well.  They only have 3 poses for the Amatzl Warriors so far, the other is a Sorceress which is not done yet.  One nice feature of the figures is they come with Scenic Bases that the figures feet have pegs for, much easier to do nice basing, even if you wanted a different scenic base, you can just drill out the matching base rather than pinning.  Very cool feature.

Sci-Fi Characters, Book, Kaylee, The Doctor

I whipped up a few character models, made me really want to do more projects like this, I really enjoyed doing them.

Kaylee - To be honest, her face is kinda wonky sculpt wise, I may pick up Reapers Chrono Technician to use in her stead, but I feel that she'd be too large.

Sheperd Book - This figure is simply great, nice clean sculpt, smooth lines, wonderful to work on.

And the 11th Doctor, also a very nice sculpt, his face seems a tad large making him somewhat cartoonish, but it somehow works for him.

The Lab - WIP

Been working on a Lab to go with my Dirz, but it would work equally well for Arcanists in Malifaux.  It is all made from Insulation board, Bionicle parts, PVC Pipe and fittings, and a few other oddities.  The walls are all modular and 4" long.  Makes it easy to rearrange bits and bobs without a lot of complex work.  Each wall is the wall section with a 1" square post at the end, it allows me to easily swap sections around.  Essentially this layout shouwld work for a wide variety of game styles, you could easily cut tiles in the floors and make the walls a more traditional dungeon for a big modular layout that can be built on the fly, I am really happy overall with this design.  Now to finish it . . .this one may take a while as I have a lot of complex plans for it.

Dirz Repaints and Metals

So I have been working on more Dirz figures, I did a few last night.  There are a few prepaints and a couple metals.  And finally a comparison of a prepaint (Kheris is one of the nicer painted figures too) to one of my repainted figures.

I've also ordered some of the Biotech bases from Mircoart studios to use rather than continue with what I have, nothing is attached to their bases save the prepaints currently, I just put the smallest amount of glue to hold them on so I had something to hold onto.

Dirz and 15mm Sci-Fi

Well, I have been busy not bothering to update my blog, but I will attempt to fix this.  I have a new job working overnights at a Youth Service facility, so I have a lot of free time at night.  Therefore i do what any good gamer would do, I paint.

Here are a couple Dirz figures I've been working on, one is repainted from a previous project.  I have been itching to try and get Hybrid and therefore broke these guys out to practice on.  I am very happy with how they turned out.

And here are 2 of my 15mm armies.  I present my Eldar and my Invid.  I need to get more variety of the Invid forces and gather up some vehicles to use with my Eldar knockoffs, unfortunately, this is proving difficult for both forces.
