Thanks for the kind words, it was a fun experiment and certainly gave me a lot of pointers to whatever vehicle I paint next

This left the turret as the last main area requiring basic work. It had to be kept separate from the body of the tank because I knew it would be too unwieldy to paint easily if attached. As such it...

The Basement’s FigureWorld 2012

Yes, it’s on again – Same place, same time of year, same people running it.

So, not that we’re blowing our own trumpet too much, but it’s going to be...

Those are definately one of the best displays at the show

Also just uploaded a few more pics to The Basement

Don't shock me like this, I almost had a heart attack :)

Thanks for the heads up
Good to hear it's almost done

Hiya :)

Assuming you mean the pink haired one it's an old GW Necromunda piece
Dave Heathfield (MrScream) did it so he'll know more about which one it is

Another nice piece
Great use of colour as always

The weathering on the tank/helmet/belt is very different, especially on he tank
Interesting to see a different way of getting a familiar concept...

When you get back to the face you may want to consider reworking the forehaed as the creases for the area either side of the nose aren't really working. Also that area is sloightly unbalanced...

Thanks, but just to be clear, I was only a finalist

Also I would have liked to have done the beam with a transparent rod
Some lighting could have worked well I think
But the weight was an issue

And some larger pics of larger pieces

Part 3:

Painting started with the Tau vessel, going for a relatively standard blue look (I forget the specific sect name) with a rather general lighting approach. So the painting was more to...

Not till I\'ve forced you to have a good look over my duel entry
You may have escaped at Euro but you will not be so lucky twice . . . . .:D

Great pictures Nick
Was nice to meet you

The Imperial General was good
As was the Imperial Guard not quite a tank thing
(See, my specialist knowledge knows no bounds :) )

It was great to see you Adrian (All 30 seconds of it :D )
Looking forward to the GD meet up

Yeah . . . sorry if that conversation was a bit unintelligible :)

Afraid I didn\'t have much time to take any step-by-step pics while making the Tau base. I\'ll try and find the time to write a few notes after Euro.

Have a safe trip
I\'ll see you in Folkestone

Thanks for the feedback

Have to agree with you on the LotR piece

The Tau is actually a little brighter than the pics
But got time to tweak him before
Hopefully get some good advice from...

Anyway, made some progress on the pilot and the base
Still a fair amount of tweaking to do
The OSL is half way at the moment
Fairly tempted to remove it from the pilot actually
I\'m thinking I...

Added the final touches to my duel entry today
Only issue with getting my 40k single piece done will be Euro

Maybe if I get some feedback at Euro I\'ll have some more final adjustments to my duel...

It\'s all rush rush rush

Added the final tweaks to my duel entry today
(Pics after Euro/GD)

Tidied a couple of bits on the LotR piece
Like a couple of red bits on the fur

Then was thinking...

It is nicely done

I do wonder how many of the new Space Hulk terminator figures will make it to GD . . .

I can\'t see the images you linked in this post, but I checked your gallery and the German Officer bust looks very good. Excellent flesh tones with a good degree of warmth (pink/red) to them, and...

Yes, definitely bring it to GD
I want to look too

Not a problem

On the orignal pic you can see the issue with the edge of the base as the raised area comes to a stop. This is why I bulked up the front and re-sanded it.



Almost complete now...

Yes it is a horrible sculpt
If I had the sense I was born with I\'d have chucked it :)


And you right about the base
Built-up with milliput
Roughened to a texture
Painted and then pastels
...

That\'s a shame Matt
Would have been good to catch up on stuff


Maybe next year I\'ll make it across to Europe . . .

A little more progress

Some initial highlighting and shading on the fur trim
Some work on the breastplate and greaves, now more of a grey/blue
Some green and red shading on the chain to make it...

That\'s a wonderful piece with some great detail
Even the hatching on the inside of the cloak looks spot on

But the gems do look a little flat
Certainly in the pics they seems almost identical...

Hopefully I will . . . .

The squad looks nice

Well, you should be able to get a real good look at Euro
If you find me on Friday you can have a look then



And straight on to the next piece
I\'ve re-sculpted the back of the cloak a bit...

I\'ll admit to taking some artistic licence with the inner shirt
I didn\'t want anything too pale
So maybe a shiny silk ?



This is all the bulk work done
I\'ll probably tweak a few bits...

Well, I\'ve tweaked the left eye
Need to touch up a dark mark just underneath
Just about noticeable with a magnifying glass :)

Also shaded the jacket
Came out the nice dark red I was looking...

There can be a bit of a queue
But nothing like games day

Also I think early entry would only really be necessary to get to the traders
Cause no-one would have entered any pieces yet :)

Another evening gone and another step closer to completion. I\'ve done the eyes because I just didn\'t think I could do much else on the face without them, and I also added some more red tone with a...

Thanks Tim

I\'m doing the eyes this evening
And adding some more red tones around them as well

Some more oxford blue and dark browns to stubble...

Was a great event, wonderful to meet everyone, and the quality of the competition was really good. So that will teach me for feeling smug about entering the sci-fi squad category :)

The Smart Max...

Euro is at Folkstone

Was great to meet everyone
And the Smart Max pieces are fantastic

I was going to mention the thread length as well, on the skull, but also the scroll work and the top left shield. That said, it does look very effective and gives the impression you were aiming for....

I have seen a couple of vignettes/duel pieces where the floating/flying figure actually works, but most of the time,...

I meant Euro, my bad :)

Now going back up to read the post . . .

You have definitely got a good consistent look to the weathering, and the burnt umber gives a great old look to the whites. I\'m looking forward to seeing how things will look once the details start...

1pm? After figures have to in for the comp then.
Just checking so i know what order to do things in :D

I\'ll try to make sure I bring some extra stuff

One of the best ways I\'ve found for shading red is to use thin glazes of a dark green, or to add a little dark green to the red. This uses the colour wheel idea of opposite colours which should...

Don\'t know if this would be any use
I did this step by step for my own marble base

Again it uses a sponge to get a rough pattern
Always a good starting point
...

I got some of the Vallejo crackle medium ages ago
Never found anything to use it on

Might have to try harder to find an excuse now

It\'s been a while since I\'ve posted any pics of stuff. It\'s not that I\'ve stopped painting, but the new stuff I\'m keeping under wraps a bit till Salute, and I just didn\'t have time to properly...

All looking very nice

I notice you got a very good weathered line on the central ridge of the elbow panel on the right arm. Did you specifically make an effort to mark that area or was it just...

From what I have heard GD is on the 27th
Which would put it the week after Euro this year

And you could enter more than one thing at Euro . . . .

Well, I was hoping to see it at Euro this year
Still, if it\'s finished by the end of March, maybe Salute :)

Nice to see the painting has started
Adding the eyes in makes such a difference
They look really good

Some interesting ideas from Avelorn
Are you intending to do any discolouration around the...

Good to see you got things up and running
They both look great to me

I might have to pick up Hurk just for more textured leather practice

Having thought about it for a while, I just wish you had placed the gaming base upside down. It could still have been removable, but with the slope of the sides inverted the groundwork could have...

I\'d never have thought the nose started blue
Certainly helped it stay a different colour from the rest of the skin

This is the most news I found

http://volomir.blogspot.com/2008/11/final-date-for-golden-demon-spain-2009.html

Well, done some work on face, as you can see the dark side / light side idea stayed. Actually used a touch of red for the pupils . . .

Did a little work on the hat hair and metallics as well. ...

For the curved lines on the second Eowyn base I used a compas. You can generally get them with a 2nd metal nib so I marked the lines in with that. And for the straight lines I started those with a...

Time for some more textured leather :)

It was a great day, fantastic meet-up
Was really good to meet Sven for the first time
And Ben and Mat are...

Well, the rider and Eowyn finished, obviously cause I entered them at GD yesterday . . .

I\'ll try and get some pictures up after Euro
But Ive got to finish another piece for that which is next...

I like the way you have done some initial work on the area around the face early on. The black visor, brown collar and the initial work on the breastplate. I do need to concentrate on doing the...

Thats about it
Smoothing in the edges of the shading with some mid tones

Re-touch the shading where it\'s been subdued too much

I\'ll only have the two entries for the event, but I\'ll bring a couple of other bits along in case anyone wants to have a look.
...

With GDUK fast approaching these are getting close to completion
The banners been put aside to await some extra glyphs
Meanwhile I\'ve spent this evening working on Eowyn\'s base
Still not 100%...

I wasn\'t having any nightmares before reading this thread . . . .

The jerkin was based with VMC Saddle Brown
Highlighted up with VMC Orange Brown and VMC Pale Sand
And a little VMC Ivory

Followed with a glaze or two of VMC Orange Brown
A thin glaze of GW...

Well, while I ponder some final tweaks to the rider and his banner I decided to carry on with Eowyn. Now I don\'t normally do more than one piece at a time, but with the GDUK deadline fast...

Probably the last wip for the rider
A not quite complete standard

No fancy freehand here, it has a great embossed symbol through the middle. Could probably have done a border of small chaos...

Thats part of why I\'m wondering about adding snow to the base. Wondering if a pale base would detract from that


Anyway, while adding some bits to the banner I had a started Eowyn. Having done...

Thats ok, Rob got me one :)

The scars/symbols are freehand

And I will be trying to enhance the edges a bit more
And making a couple of other slight tweaks
Maybe some blues or greens on the...

Well this is fairly up to date
The red where the cables fit into the horse need toning down a bit
And now I have to finish tweaking the banner and get it painted

Thanks for the feedback guys

@Avelorn
I understand what you mean about the overall look of things. I must admit that in part this has a lot to do with the initial problems I had getting a colour...

Well, noting puts you off posting pics like being a bit disappointed with how things are working out. Still, these show the main work finished, and I\'m definitely happier with it now than I was. ...

Just about right on all counts I think there :)

Sorted most of the colour scheme out last night . . finally

Hopefully I\'ll get most of the basic work done over the weekend
After that I can...

Have to say that I\'ve had quite a bit of trouble getting the colours sorted for the renegade so progress has been a bit slower than I\'d hoped. Especially had problems trying to get a weathered...

This is the progress on the Krieg Renegade
And also the start of the original Eowyn figure (I\'ll make this a general WiP thread)
Very interested in opinions on Eowyn\'s base
Or anything else to...

In addition to weight there can be issues with shrinkage with metal figures as the alloy cools, so it is best not to use it for too large a piece.

Thanks


The left arm is a bit limited in it\'s options without extensive work. It can\'t really be lowered much further because of the pipe arrangement on the mounts neck, although I may cut the...

Well, time to get back to some GW figures

Hopefully Demonherald is sending me the original Eowyn figure so I can attempt it for GDUK
While I\'m waiting it\'s renegade rider conversion time
Bit...

Well I don\'t want to start a whole extra thread for the finished figure, so a quick thanks to everyone for their feedback. Especially Anders (Ritual) for a couple of extra pointers.

Excellent event
Great to meet some people again
Great to meet others for the first time
And I really wish my car had air-con !!!

Here\'s a few pics of him almost finished and the base just stated with basic colours in place. It was actually at this point a couple of days ago, but my upload machine was out of action and I...

A little progress

The left lip and cheek area still need a bit of work
Should be possible to just blend any issues at this point

The shirt is mostly done
The metallics have their initial...

Just to add that I think you\'ve done a great job of shading the patterned area. Always rather tricky to get the balance between the two.

To nick an idea from demonherald . . .

Just to confirm I should be there
Probably with the lads from \"The Basement\"

May have Yarry finished
But lots of RL stuff between now and then

Might bring some painting stuff along as well...

Hmm, people do seem to hate it or love it
