Sionid's Clean Your Plate WIP Thread

[Sionid]

Thanks all! Took the test, now it's just the waiting and the making of small daily sacrifices to the cranky deities of the art department.

The anime kit is a really different sort of mini for me, we'll see how it goes--good opportunity to work on smooth blends, I s'pose. Zab, I'm excited to see what you do with yours! She looks like a fun kit, though I don't envy you that cleanup. I keep finding eenie weenie mold lines and bubbles in mine -_-

I worked on the Oznat some more tonight, starting to get her skintone more where it ought to be (the bright red tablecloth does not make for the best comparison, apologies):

 

[KruleBear]

The subtleness of your blend transitions is remarkable.

 

[Meph]

Best pickup line I've heard in a long time.

 

[Darthmarsh]

^^ hahahaha.

But he's right. Very nice blends

 

[Demihuman]

Oznat looks good! Are you going to keep her hair white? I really like it!

 

[Sionid]

Krule and Darth, thanks!

Meph, try it and report back. For science.

Demi, yep, planning on keeping the hair white. Gonna put the white tattoos on, too (eek).

 

[KruleBear]

Meph, try it and report back. For science.
.

And have someone videotape it for us.

 

[Sionid]

I finished my tests and I have cookie-dough-flavored oreos and booze. This is a good night.





Working on this figure has been weirdly soothing. Blending, blending...

 

[Meph]

I'll try at the earliest opportunity!

Hey sis 1st thanks for the vote. Second you need to take that "living dead doll"thing and after you put in your gall you need to tie a chain around it douse in gas line and burn it voodoo style. I sear to god she's looking right at me with violent brutal thoughts in her Lil head. Please do the world a favor...destroy that vile thing before it kills again. (Fades out with exorcist music) great job there and that horse thing face from infinity I love the hair. Not easy to do. I glad somebody else does 50 projects at once .I don't feel so alone.thumbs up youngin.

 

[Sionid]

Heheh, thanks BaM. Will you feel better once she has eyes painted on? I mean, they'll probably be creepy eyes...

 

[Digganob]

Great job on zombie. Very smooth coloring.

 

[Sionid]

Hair and eyes! Or a start on both, at least. Not sure whether I wanna keep the eyes sorta simple and smooth or go supershiny sparkletime.

 

[Gandalf the Grey]

Keep them smooth, they look more haunting.

 

[Digganob]

Gandalf knows best. I agree they do look more haunting and beautiful. Less is more in this case I am thinking.

 

[KruleBear]

She is starting to creep me out...i think that means you are getting it done right!

 

[Demihuman]

Oh what's the point if you can't do crazy anime eyes!

Edit: they do look pretty awesome just how they are.

 

[Sionid]

Demi, it would be so fun! Might ruin the creepsomeness, but I can always paint over it. SUPERSHINY SPARKLETIME.

Also, I'M IN PANIC. This guy was gonna be a b-day purchase (a dude model that I want to paint!) and now I can't even access H&V Miniatures' website ;_;



Sob. I don't suppose anyone knows somewhere else to get it...

I only saw one stall at Euro which had it on sale and that was Frank Miniatures.. He's a German seller but his website doesn't show that bust...
Oother than that I've looked at Steve Knightly miniatures (One of THE GO TO GUYS for busts) if you contact him he may be able to help. And he is very helpful..after all he is from the NorthEast of England where the proper people come from.
El Greco are also helpful and friendly but you may be needing to look to European mainland traders.

 

[Sionid]

I appreciate the info, DR!

It's rainy and I got one of my packages, so have a filler post.

Preeetty. Not a ton of cleanup, looks like, and the resin seems harder than previous KD models.






The eyes are gonna be a challenge, I think.





The details are crisp and the assembly looks to be a breeze. Very happy with this one.
