10 balls WIP

[Thri Keen Priest]

Cheers all, yep TMM - havent got the time for NMM, also imo TMM works better in this scene.

I prefer TMM to NMM. After all, the end result I'm looking for is a mini that makes *me* happy when I look at it, turning it in the light. As much as I like to share my hobby with others, pretty photos are secondary for me. Looks awesome, Ten Ball! Can't wait to see who will stand upon those stairs!

Thanks all. The stairs were made out of 3mm foamex and milliput. Just about finished now all ready for GD in a few weeks. Might also do one more little project
Cheers to Dave, Stefan and Andy for their help. :good:

Had fun with this, as usual I was focused on the composition as much as the painting, and with the limited time chose TMM over NMM which im happy with the results.
When I ordered the mini it didnt say it was finecast (it stated high quality resin) so had a shock on opening the box = 5 hours prep time

Not my usual choice of mini but since the snail (which was a crazy purchase at euro M 2015) ive been enjoying and doing well with minis that at first I wouldnt choose to paint. So I recommend giving it a try!

That is stunning work. Not just the painting but the base and composition too. It's going in my favs the sec it hits the gallery.

The whole piece looks amazing, but the detailing of the fishnets is a whole other level

 

[Kretcher]

Beautiful work as always lee, i tried doing stairs like that before but it didnt tuen out so well.

 

[ten ball]

Cheers all

Digga get some 1.5 mm foamex or splice 3mm like I did to 1.5mm thin rectangles
glue in selected positions. Foamex is really versatile, easy to cut with a scalpel, it can be filed, bent into shapes (as ive done with the bannister) glues in seconds, easy to paint also.

 

[Thri Keen Priest]

Looks great, Lee! Is that poison on the blade stock, or did you sculpt it on? Who makes it? It kinda reminds me of drow assassins.

 

[SkelettetS]

boom, there we go, finished. looks great, cant wait to see it irl!

ive also totally finished my entries now, so no more painting for GD as there is no categories left (except vehicle which im not entering) lol

 

[Digganob]

[BloodASmedium]

The whole reason you won those GD trophies is you def increased your skills and this new piece proves to further your affirmation.DYNOMYTE ... JJ FROM GOOD TIMES!!!

 

[AndyG]

I like it mate a nice piece with a good base bravo.

 

[SaintToad]

Really nice job, 10. The details (green poison, fishnets, green eyeshadow/OSL around the eyes) really make this one.
Could you maybe explain how you turned the Foamex into the bannister in a bit more detail? I was admiring it when you first posted the base.

 

[ten ball]

Thanks all

@ SaintT - the foamex was cut into very thin strips, then sanded into a tube (sort of) shape (around 1.5mm), it then can be carefully bent into position (I used a hair dryer to heat it up). It with form the poisition slightly but will also need to be glued in place so planning is key.
The shape on the uprights were sanded in groves using a dremmel thingy to make little notches.

An early shot of the scene

Thanks, 10. A Dremel is definitely something I have been thinking about buying. The railing looks great and the TMM wou'd done on it really brings out the structural details you created before getting the brushes wet.

Thri its a Games Workshop mini and the poison drips are sculpted on the mini.

A quick and fun 7 day project to get finished for Sunday

Wow that is some awesome colour's and textures mate, should have been red as it would have gone faster ! LOL

 

[SaintToad]

Looking forward to seeing more of that cool little project! From what I can see, the glass on the windshield looks awesome. I assume that's a GW model?

 

[Zab]

Pretty good. It's not easy painting green - or was that being green? Nah, pretty sure it's the first one!

 

[BloodASmedium]

Lol man your a magic man ten . I live all your colors but those greens have a glow in the most amazing way!!! Really fabulous stuff you produce. I feel it's safe to say another win is coming your way... Maybe 2 maybe 4 who knows its up to you how many cars you enter bud. Always a pleasure lee.
