Not really done much since i broke my foot. Made a few bases and did a bit on the bust.

I\'m not liking the pilot\'s base much tbh buddy.
The bricks look too rounded and smooth.

Also; what\'s the grey stuff he\'s standing on?

 

[Cleezy]

Basically take a knife to the bricks, get them looking more jagged and broken up.

The other bases seem fine, its something of a trend atm to have the taller built up bases, seeing them pop up often.

 

[alextheartist]

Tis indeed a trend, copyed it off other people.

The grey stuff are tank tracks. Will take a knife to the bricks, also getting some pumice paste from vallejo to roughen up the bricks and base, also will put some smashed slate on when i find it.

Wow, two updates in one day:

Almost finished marine, any things need doing that i cant spot (except drilling the barrle)?

Free ork based on durham red\'s version.

Typhus i stripped and re started.:

[nick232]

how many projects do you have on the go at once??

 

[Cleezy]

I love the typhus model, just summat about it lol.

True you are certainly rolling projects, still good on ya. looking good so far

9 at the moment, two very close to completion. I should hopefully be starting a commission on thursday of a termi lord about to turn to chaos in a red and black theme, so that should take priority of a few of the other bits..

Still managed to fit some photography in this evning:

Anyway, college work won\'t do itself...

Here is a mini i am working of as a commission. The customer wanted an ornate termi lord on the verge of turning to chaos for his custom army.

i just wanna add my 2 cents to this thread. firstly, on the space marine i can see a little bit of blue on the chainsword\'s skull icon, and second, if the chaos lord is on the verge of turning to chaos, why does he have a darkangel helmet on his trophy rack

 

[alextheartist]

Didnt see that bit on the sword, thanks will sort that out.

The pic with the spikes on was to show the customer what it looks like with the spikes on and at the end of the day its not my choice so..

Alex

edit: thanks for actually commenting on the stuff and not my injuries too... lol

A small update:

Alex

c&c please

 

[Thecadian]

hey nice sculpting alex looking very sharp.

Looking good.

 

[alextheartist]

Cheers mate! I\'m just upset the customer only wanted a tabletop paint job, not the full works lol.

I should be able to get some painted shots up tomorrow.

nice start on the red there; are you gonna darken it, or lighten it up?
thanks

[alextheartist]

I think i will darken the shadow and lighten the highlights cos it is for tabletop so it needs to stand out.

Alex

 

[alextheartist]

Painting is nearlly complete, just waiting for instructions on the basing..

c&c welcome!

Alex

 

[alextheartist]

Ok, just about done, a few bits need neatening, but apart from that finished! Also remember this is only painted to tabletop standards..
