p1per's WIP Fairytales

[p1per]

Hey all!

Long time no see (not sure if anyone remembers me anyway ). I took "some" time off the hobby, mainly due to lack of motivation and prioritizing other things. My last brushstroke was in August 2013 on Sethin so it's almost 3-years since I had a brush in my hands or touched a miniature. Anyway I'm back... kinda... time is limited but I will try to manage and get a few hours per week in dedicated to this hobby which I've been away for way too long.

And to start my miniature journey (again), my first mini after my break will be the Orruk Megaboss from GW.

Really cool looking base! I love how you took off that ridiculous dragon skull on the ork's shoulder... I may have to buy this model and and do that too lol! Really digging the base! BTW, welcome back! Great come back!

Welcome back, I'm liking what I see already :good:

 

[SkelettetS]

hey welcome back!

looks really nice so far i really like the changes you made to the model. but i have to ask why you cover the whole model with liquid gs?

 

[p1per]

thx all!

@SkelettetS - I usually only use a very thin layer of liquid GS (before GW released that I used Miliput) but this one went out of hand a bit. Anyways the reason I do this is to get a bit of a texture on the surfaces so that the paint has a better basis to stick to it and to fill up stuff like scratches or holes for smoother surfaces.
