That's really impressive mate!
What are the different types of putty used?

Thanks guys!
He's up in the gallery now he's finished.

Cheers guys!
Been cracking on with Ghazghkull, tring out new techniques and using more appropriate pallets for the various elements, finding little use for my citadel shades these days....

Can't wait to see it taking shape, bird riding fairy turned out great!

From big to small, tried a different approach to painting this model, it's an attempted copy of the same mini by Alexander Kataurov.
Definitely learned a lot in the process!
Culexus Assassin ......

That's Morty done!

I'd say it was like painting a squad of 30 regular marines! but more interesting ;)

I think its a gas tank as there seems to be a pressure gauge at the back ;)
Squeezed in a quick Deathguardian before finishing Morts ...

Good work man! I have purchased Biologus and Lord of Virulence so stopped by for some tips ;)

Awesome sculpting, I too had to look up the character but you certainly have done him justice!

Very nice as always, I order some AK rust texture to have a play with on the strength of those pics!

The eyes are intense, and loving the shimmering silky shawl.

Cheers guys!
I got Guts finished in time for Christmas, my bro was well pleased .. at least to my face ;)

Thanks a lot for the comments!

Been a bit busy in the covid infested run up to Chistmas but managed to squeeze in a few models ...

Void Dragon...

Great work on that army, You have certainly captured the spirit of Nurgle!

That land raider looks ace! all the little extras really add to authenticity. Love Ork Batman, is that all modelled from scratch? and Orkira turned out great too!
You've given me the inspiration to...

You're just too OP lol

As usual amazing base, looking forward to see the finished piece.

Looking awesome, what are you using for the hoses?

Cheers guys!

Think I'm done with Be'lakor now, not increased my love for finecast but was fun to do something a bit different ;)
Feel free to drop me a vote ;) http://www.coolminiornot.com/452132...

Really nice diorama! try glazing with a flesh tone to desaturate the blue.

Cheers Graishak!
parked Be'lakor for a few days to do a quick commission of Roboute, still hating the amount of gold trim but pretty happy with the improvement over my first go at him.80949

Great work so far and love GUO! voted and commented!

Thanks for the comments!!!
Had to take a short break and shelved Mortarion for a few weeks to concentrate on some other stuff ...
Did the dark Apostle and his cronies and made a start on Be'lakor...

Not been on for a while and oh my god!!! the hoverbike girl is a freaking master piece! not in my wildest dreams did I think the paint job would impress me more than the original model concept :shock:

Cheers chaps, about 3/4 of the way through ...

That is genius! are you going to use some real bones on the construction so it can stink like the original set ;)

Cheers guys! yes bullfrog my new airbrush's secrets have secrets lol

Bit more progress made ...

80522

Thanks for the votes! well pleased to have reached 50 votes on something and at 8.8 I can't complain!

Been busy doing some commissions in the interim, nice to redo stuff that I've previously done...

Excited to see this take shape! Looks like you have gone all chips in.

They are nice, great way to re-purpose unused plastics, though not sure GW would agree ;)

Looks amazing on it's own, almost a shame to put a character on it ;)

Looking good, as soon as you get into the NMM mindset its quite rewarding.

Thanks a lot guys, please feel free to drop me a vote, would be nice to break 50 for once ;)

PS. try to ignore the fact I've spelled Helbane wrong :(

Yeah forget the light (ish) just make it look good for starters, that does look much better and I would say the brightest bits are fine but try and darken the browns it will make it look shinier....

Thanks for the comments guys!

Shalaxi finally finished, The last leg was extremely gem heavy ;)

As usual I'm leaving this thread suitable amazed, congrats on you well deserved fame!

You're killing me with all this coolness!

Nice work so far, leather is really nice.
Being quite new to NM myself one of the tips I picked up from Youtuber Squidmar was to use photoshop to try stuff out before and during painting.
This only...

Beautifully done! this shall be added to my 'I must try harder' photo reel ;)

I messed up the orientation of the shield (measure twice paint once) so had to redo it :( Decided to take some progress pics on the second run through ...

A quick mock up to check ;)
80327...

Keep up the good work! I've posted a pic in my thread of my progression painting an nmm shield which looks alright when finished, have a look and see if you get any inspiration. Your stuff is much...

Nice work! love the seals

Awesome work! love the scarf.

Looks amazing, what do you use for the earth effect?

Great work so far, the unclean one is on my to do list so I hope to pic up some tips following your progression ;)

Thanks all for the comments and input, all greatly appreciated!!

Decided that the blade and shield are too big for TMM and looked a bit bland so I've NMM'ed those elements but used TMM on the...

Making progress, trying out a crushed velvet effect on the gown thing, might ramp up the contrast a bit more.

This is ace!!

Some really nice work in this thread, love that space marine! really like the radial brushed metal effect on his pack.

Thanks a lot, I've had a good look through yours too and seen some impressive stuff!
Made a bit of progress with Shalaxi, experimenting with an iridescent-style effect on the stocking that may or...

Nice work so far, those prints look quite clean compared to others I've seen. The biggest take away for me was Tim the Enchanter, I recognised him before reading the text, Awesome!

If there is a book on weathering I would expect to see one of these guys on the cover! excellent work and very inspiring.

Thanks Graishak, I'm trying to build up a decent portfolio as I only started in May, and as they say practise makes perfect ;)
Shalaxi has had some layers laid down, seems quite a simply model to...

Thanks a lot! I finally got around to taking some pics, Harken is up on the gallery http://www.coolminiornot.com/450144

Shalaxi is up next ...

Thanks Dexter, your input has sent me on a mission, even using the colour wheel!!
I've given him a couple of violet glazes and re-highlighted with Karak stone, looks much more goldy ;) I will mess...

ekipage - Rhinox hide, averland sunset, white, yellow glaze (game ink), agrax eathshade, and a bit more white, in that order ;)

Graishak - thanks and I think it is an ancient enchanted weapon :D
...

Thanks gorb, I will probably do a brief pictured description of the method I've evolved into.
Hopefully get finished tonight ready for daemon Mortarion who will also be NMM, this was my practise run...

Yeah definate Nemesis vibe, great job!

Nice work! i'm having a crack at nmm myself at the moment, I'm finding that once i have a reflection pattern im happy with i just ramp up the contrast and then some ;)

Nice work, he looks like he's been on a very long detachment indeed!

Love the palette and the eyes are intense!

The Brut is some awesome work, well done!

Starting to look more convincing ... to me at least ;)
80159

Cheers gorb!

Slowly chipping away ...80154

Practising the NMM technique on Haarken Worldclaimer, look alright from some angles but a little way to go ;)80133

That's a really nice piece congrats on the win!

Thanks for the tips!


I decided to use some green stuff to cover the lines and roughed it up a bit too to give the metal a battered ancient look, think it turned out alright, few bits to finish...

Looks amazing, love the skull and bone paint pot ;)

'The masters are destroyed'... 4 words you never want to hear! tanks looking good though ;)

Nice work, loving the skin tone contrast.

Thanks for the tips guys I gave it a sepia wash and dry brushed Ushabti bone and screaming skull, looks much better though I didn't take a pic :(


Productivity has taken a hit since starting back...

The martian ironearth finally arrived so got the base done, not sure if i should add a highlight though as it seems a bit dull.

Cheers gorb, I've payed a bit of attention to the vial just waiting on the basing goop to finish him.

You're too kind BaM ;)


While waiting on some new models I found this guy in an ebay bag...

Amazing work and a sweet set up ;)

That looks really nice right down to the split in the bark! What is the moss made of?

The model is coming together nicely just a few more bits to tidy up and then get him based, I've order some of the Martian Ironearth technical paint to try out.

...

Nice work!! you have the spacing nice and consistent all over, I imagine that was some right fun and games lol.

Thanks!

Next up is the Tech Priest Manipulus as a practise run for Belisarius Cawl, done most of the block colouring and some detailing. Love the airbrush now for the early stages, saves loads of...

Not much of a WIP, finished Horticulous without taking any pics ;)

Feel free to drop me a vote - http://www.coolminiornot.com/pics/pics16/img5f0b35f84174f.jpg

This is the most fun I've had so...

Cheers ekipage!

Finished Biles upper bits and am going to leave him as he is, now have to wait for the Horticulus Slimux to arrive ... perhaps do some of the chores I've been neglecting ;)

Feel...

Your modelling is mint! and that scratch built land raider makes me rethink my life choices ;)

Nice work! love the squig nest, only a mother could love that face ;)

Looking great so far, if you pattern that flowing strip then hats off to you ;D

Thanks a lot!
I tried to get a multi layered look to Bile's skin coat, perhaps should have been a bit lighter. I had a go at speed painting the Acolyte, 4 hours from spru to finished, not award...

Thanks a lot for the generous votes, you're too kind ;) I tried to pull off a flaming sword that I ran out of skill on so had to carefully strip it with isopropyl alcohol and settled for a simpler...

Thanks, I'll give it a go, always looking to improve! No leather to be found on Roboute though, just gold trim ... lots of gold trim! coming together now though and saving the sword for last as a...

Thanks! your advise was awesome, I scroll up now and think my spilled orange paint attempt looks shite! sometimes you need fresh eyes and honest oppinions.

Thanks for the tip, I had a go and think it looks better now, I'm calling this paint job finished now on to Roboute!
Link to the gallery -...

Ha! its meat free for now. Thanks for the comments.
I've been messing about with some osl on the base which looks better from certain angles, and the outlining on the armour looks a bit ethereal...

Nice work! I had to scroll back a page to check that wasn't an LED ;)

Thanks Graishak.
Decided to add some meat the the base and a few space marine spares, also started the time consuming detailing on the armour.
