Celts
By sticking lots of minis in the same frame, at least some of them are in focus...
|
|
Celts
More slingers to the fray.
|
|
Medusa
This is a Reaper model. This shot came out rather fine, actually.
|
|
Medusa
Ok, this wasn't so good. Apparently the autofocus had a really hard time with the snakelike body.
|
|
Medusa
The gap between upper and lower body is too noticeable. I guess I should learn to use green stuff...
|
|
Skeletons
I've had these skeleton archers in my B-pile for a long time. As part of a desk clearance project I dug them up.
|
|
Skeletons
I think these are Alternative Armies models, but I could be mistaken. It was fun painting skeletons for a change. Maybe I should do my 100 Discount Hobby skellies next...
|
|
Skeletons
These are just basic undercoat - heavy drybrush - wash.
Naked skeletons are great for beginners because it's really easy to get them looking good, and they have a lots of good surface area to practice shading and highlighting basics on.
|
|
Skeletons
I just wanted these out of the way, so I gave them all very basic, drab earthtone clothes. I guess most clothes would look that way after a few years six feet under anyway...
|
|
Skeletons
This one actually remembered to bring his arrows.
|
|
Medusa
More medusa shots, this time in my studio. For some reason, this is the only shot where her face is in focus.
|
|
Medusa
I tried to get fancy with the pelt, but it's not too good.
|
|
Medusa
On the other hand, the yellow stripes came out ok.
|
|
Medusa
For some reason, the camera just kept focusing on the pattern on her back.
|
|
Medusa
I tried the Foundry 3-step shading on the rattle, but I guess I didn't get the colors right - the two lightest tones don't have enough contrast.
|
|
Medusa
The base is made from hardboard. I was trying out my new circle cutting drill thingie (close relation to round killing thing).
|
|
Medusa
For once the overhead view is useful. This is NOT the way I intended the pattern to come out... but I managed to salvage it.
|
|
Celts
The slingers are back in too.
|
|
Celts
These are pretty much the same as the previous bunch of celtic slingers.
|
|
Celts
Hmmm... someone's trying to slip away...
|
|
Celts
The poses are a bit limited, but still better than some manufacturers.
|
|
Celts
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Celts
So that's 18 slingers ready for action. Now for warriors...
|

Meat Processing Plant 5
You can make terrain items out of anything. Ok, sticking to non-perishables is a good idea.
|
|
Meat Processing Plant 5
I was supposed to add detailing to these, but I was too bored. Also, keeping them simple keeps them somewhat scaleless. These are equally ok with 28mm skirmish as microarmor.
|
|
Meat Processing Plant 5
And the overhead view. The good thing about these boxes was that they had virtually no molded-on text or symbols. A quick whiff or sandpaper was enough.
|
|
Cobalt-1
I got these from a clearance sale rather cheap. They are actually really nice and I love the retro helmets. Shame that the metal is some bitchy hard and brittle non-lead alloy.
|
|
Cobalt-1
These were rather fun to do (apart from the cleaning). I remembered when I was doing the original beaky marines some 15 years ago. I think it's nice that these are not too cluttered.
|
|
Cobalt-1
The helmet is a bit tricky to cut out without leaving a white edge. It's also irritatingly easy to get fingerprints on the domes.
|
|
Cobalt-1
Most of these guys are bald. Maybe it's the cosmic rays...
|
|
Cobalt-1
Where would a marine go without his trusty sword? Them gun-thingies, they're not dependable, no sirree.
|
|
Cobalt-1
And the obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Medusa
I tried to take a few photos outside, something I haven't done in years. Unfortunately, the sun was already really low and it was virtually impossible to see anything in the viewfinder. Alas, most of these are out of focus.
|
|
Celts
More celtic slingers, this time venturing outside. I was supposed to paint stripes on these guys, but I forgot.
|
|
Celts
Aargh! I'm out of focus! The white stuff on the background is not the sky, it's a pile of snow.
