mickc22s WIP Orion + others (Latest is \"The Duke\" 54mm)

[Ogrebane]

Hows Orion going? We need an update.

 

[Onis Lair]

have to admit, i\'m interested in how the Orion is doing myself.

 

[mickc22]

Sorry guys, haven\'t done any more since the last pics. been busy replacing the roof on the studio and planning on extending it too, so things are a bit chaotic at the moment. In between I\'m still trying to get these Cadians done
I\'ve finshed all the resculpting now, so here\'s a few more pics, they\'ve since had a final clean up and are now primed too

Radio Op

I\'ve also assembled a scanner in the normal way but for some reason didn\'t take a pic of it ???

 

[hubbabubba]

Hmm, get your roof fixed up so I can have a look at how this command group\'s shaping uplol You\'ve got so much control over your sculpting, could you give us a few pointers?

 

[mickc22]

ARRGGHH!! I give up............

....alright I don\'t but it was a close thing...
Roofs fixed, and all the mess is cleaned up, cadians were primed and ready to go, or so I thought.....
the primer had reacted with something on the resin minis all except the commander ??? the only thing I did different with him was give him a coat of black primer after the grey
I really don\'t know what\'s causing this, they\'ve been cleaned with white spirit, cellulose thinners, soapy water. I made sure everything was warm when priming, even brought them in the house over night to let them dry thoroughly, this will be the 3rd time I\'ve had to strip them and reprime, I\'m using dettol this time in case the resin is absorbing the cellulose
I\'m really getting pissed off with these FW cadians

 

[blackbone]

Your epoxy work is so smooth and yummy. Good luck prepping the resin, I hope it turns out great!

[mickc22]

[krom1415]

Looking good mick, I love the extra details

 

[mickc22]

Finally!!

...got the primer sorted out on these buggers, and here a couple of the Commissar with a bit of color on him

I\'ve done a bit more since these were taken, not sure about the the red power fist. The ginger beard is the customers request
I\'ll try and get some more pics up tomorrow

 

[supervike]

thats really looking good.

I like the power fist, very convincing.

 

[MathewBaich]

good stuff. whatever happened to orion??? and the scratches on the colonel\'s powerfist could be a little smaller to be more convincing.

 

[Larre]

ORION ORION ORION!! please dude, give us some pics of orion!

 

[mickc22]

patience my precious....Orion will be later
some more on the commissar, put some highlights on the black areas, made a start on the metallics

 

[Larre]

aaaaw... well, then I have something to be longing for
I like wha you have done on the commisar btw
keep it up.

[OrkBoy]

Calm down Larre!

I like the battered powerfist and I love his gingie beard!

Keep going, good so far!

Cheers,
Tom

 

[james sequeira]

Looking good, but it looks like a ugly sculpt though.

 

[Larre]

I\'m not much of a fan for the sculpt either.. I think you can work a bit more with the beard aswell..

// Larre

 

[mickc22]

his face is kinda squished looking, anyway he\'s pretty much done,

made a start on his base, and the rest of the squad too, pics later

 

[mickc22]

bump!...

just bumping this so I don\'t have to wade through 20+ pages to find it again

well the good news is, I should be getting back to the Orion sculpt shortly, shortly I said..
I\'ve also got a nice new camera with which to take some new pics
The bad news is you\'ll have to wait for the new pics, as the ones I had on the PC to continue the WIP are all gone, as I stupidly wiped the hard drive whilst attempting a Linux install
So there will be a bit of a jump from the last pic to the new ones

If I\'m really lucky I might even get some more blocks laid on the workshop extension


later
Mick
