Dr. Bob's WIP Thread

[Digganob]

So what you cooking up next.

 

[YetiSA]

Just took a quick tour through your gallery. I particularly like that stone golem of yours. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with.

 

[Dr. Bob]

@YetiSA - Thanks! Alas, it appears that my painting skills are decreasing over time, based on the scores, since the golem was painted many years ago.

@Digganob - Since painting two simultaneous minis worked out pretty well, I decided to try ... drumroll, please ... FOUR simultaneous minis!

The kroot are just about ready to paint ...

WOOHOO! Push them boundries. I am usually sculpting 4 or 5 things at a time.

 

[bgcdazzler]

Slowcoaches.

looking forward to these. Based on your flesh faire entry and stone golem I think the brush skills are there: maybe with these just take some time to add more colour variation and contrast. Check the colour wheel for good colour partners (blue and orange, red and green etc) and add more variety. It should be a really easy way to level up.

 

[Zab]

Nice. Have fun playing with your unit! Crap - that sounded wrong

 

[Dr. Bob]

@Zab - I will. And I will.

@bcgd - Thanks for the advice. I will try it out, though it is really hard to wrap my head around the idea of using red to shade green, etc.

Back after a major transition ... Monique de Noir primed and ready to paint ...

[Digganob]

Oh fancy. Looking forward to this one.

 

[Dr. Bob]

Don't get your expectations up too high.

Trying to decide between painting her up as Batgirl or Wonder Woman ...

[Digganob]

Hmmm, I am in favor of the Wonder Woman at the moment

 

[YetiSA]

Wonder woman gets my vote

 

[Dr. Bob]

The masses have spoken!

 

[Dr. Bob]

Well, I'm apparently one of those unreliable hobbyists who pop up then disappear unpredictably!

I recently worked on some Warhammer 40K minis after Kill Team came out. Here are some space marines I painted up recently (votable in my sig)!View attachment 71018

Currently modifying some genestealers from the Space Hulk set to adapt them for Kill Team...

Nice work on the space marines. I like the texture you have there. How did you get that?
Oh and the genestealer holding the termy helmet is an awesome sculpt, I'd like to see that painted up!

 

[Dr. Bob]

Thanks! The texture happened by accident honestly. The primer was grainy, so I think the dry brushing picked up the texture. (I used a blue glaze to offset the chalkiness.)

Hope to be a little better with updates on the genestealers!

Que the Bob Ross quote about happy little accidents, that worked very well

 

[BloodASmedium]

Welcome back bud. Nice work.

Here's a photo of an original Space Hulk genestealer with a primed modified genestealer (right limbs replaced/repositioned).

My middle school age son painted this hormagaunt with a gray body, purple armor and fuschia claws, so I'm going to try to match his color scheme...
