A WIP Thread by Fluisterwoud

I think the lighting when I took that pic kind of washed out the highlights but I can revisit it and add more to really make it pop. I agree about the tile not being dirty enough, I have some weathering pigments on the way so I'll get some dirtiness on it. Thanks for the insight.

After a long day of painting I've made some good progress on the Hussar from the first page:

More Hussar action

Pretty much done, just a few cleanup spots and some extra highlights here and there.

I decided to do a quick paint job for the new CMON contest. I have never done grey scale before so I though I'd try it out. After stressing so much about finishing the CB entries, I realized I had 6 of the 8 finished. So I thought I should do a quick fun project to relax a bit. I'm using a French officer from my scrapped historical unit entry.

 

[KruleBear]

That Frenchman looks nice in grey scale .

 

[fluisterwoud]

Yeah I like it better than the color version I originally went for.

Started working on a Cygnar Lancer from Warmachine, thought I'd do a second attempt on NMM.

 

[oistene]

Love the greyscale Baguette... You'll get my vote for that!

 

[fluisterwoud]

Thanks, it's a fun little project to pass time while stressing over CB.

More Lancer work

 

[fluisterwoud]

Here are a couple better shots of my strongest CB entries

 

[oistene]

Every time I see your Archangel, I get this itching to tear mine out of the package, clean it, assemble it and paint it right away.

But I promised myself I'd clean my table first... finish my other projects... no new projects in February... agh.

Either way, splendid work.

 

[BloodASmedium]

Okay fluisterwould what I want you to do to these entries ,is .....NOTHING AT ALL.THERE BEAUTIFULLY PAINTING TED LOVE THE PIG POWERADE ON THE BASE AND YOU HAVE GOT A GREAT SHOT WITH THEM.

 

[fluisterwoud]

Thanks guys. Now my new challenge is figuring out how to transport all my entries. Granted I don't have far to take them, only a 30-40 minute drive, but I've never moved show pieces before and I will have 10 total minis to transport.

 

[fluisterwoud]

So the lancer was a failure, it was really sloppy work and not really worth the effort to fix it when I still have a squad to do. There are still parts only base coated and unfinished, but here are some shots of my shame:

This is where it really went to hell, the back, just... no good

 

[KruleBear]

Nothing to be ashamed of for tabletop. I am getting to the point where i call any completed mini a success...irregardless if it fails to meet my initial quality objectives.

 

[fluisterwoud]

Yeah, though he failed as a CB entry, the Lancer will definitely find a nice home in my new Cygnar army. I'm sure he will die many times.


Here is the start to my Ogre squad's banner:

Working on the first Ogre in the squad, the banner holder

 

[MAXXxxx]

a really good start on the ogre.

and I really like the french monochrome figure in the "shades of grey" competition from you.

 

[fluisterwoud]

Thanks, Maxx, it was fun painting grey scale, may do it again some day.

Here is more work on the Ogre. Should be done with this on soon, then on to the next two.

 

[BloodASmedium]

Great so far..the Lancer was painted very well.much to hard on thyself.and I'm loving the wonderful skin you've done on the ogre so onward and upward,god speed,and full steam ahead.you can finish them there's still time.looking forward to meeting up.

 

[fluisterwoud]

I will definitely have these guys done for CB, with two weekends coming up where I can spend countless hours on them I'm sure of it. I may even have time to start on of the 6 post CB projects I have planned before Adepticon even starts.
