The RRM WIP Diary

[Astonia]

Oh ok! Off to London it is then. Oh, that\'s right, I need to paint my part first :flip:

 

[Margo]

oh good!

That was fast indeed. Did it come in one piece, alive and well? (well, not exactly alive ... but you get the point). Oh, and tell me you enjoyed the wrapping lol

 

[Astonia]

Yeah he was fine! the axe was a little bent, but that\'s all. And yeah, I loved the wrapping, very present-like
And he\'s even better looking in 3D!

 

[Margo]

This is so much fun, everybody whom I\'ve ever sent packages from Russia simply love the wrapping (to those who don\'t know -- they wrap stuff in thick brown paper and tie it with a hand-made-looking string). To me, it looks like a \"hello\" from stone age But anyway, glad you liked it

 

[Grumbold Ironbrow]

YES it IS

[Margo]

Dont paint too quickly, got GDUK on the 3rd of October, so i probably wont be painting him until after then

but also

WOOOOHOOOO!

 

[Mosch]

If you have this \"deadline\", Avicenna, maybe it should be send to someone else before? Dunno if frenchkid can still have part in this, and also there\'s still me (but I\'m telling you, I will ruin this piece ).

 

[Avicenna]

I\'m easy - dont mind when it comes to me! 3rd October is only 2 weeks away though so its not really an issue to be honest

As of now I think we have the right amount of participants. So I think we do the list first and if there\'s still something left for frenchkid he can join in. (Maybe you can leave him something on the backpack, there are several pieces attached to it as far as I recall.)

Astonia, did you get the list yet? I sent it to the email addy you gave me.

 

[Astonia]

oh, yeah I got the list. I\'ll print it and put it together with the mini when I post it to Avicenna.

 

[Astonia]

Ok, here\'s my part painted
I did the backpack, the rope and the little purse or whatever to the right of the backpack. The pic is a bit blurry, sorry bout that. I\'ll send him to Avicenna now.

Unfortunately, cause I have had so much to do lately, I forgot to move the message containing the list from my junk folder, so it has now been deleted .
Maybe you can email the list to Avicenna, Gypsy?

@Avicenna: Could you please pm me your address, cause it was lost together with the list. Thanks!

 

[Margo]

oooh, nice! I really like the shade of green you chose to paint the backpack with!

 

[Mosch]

OK guys, that\'s it. Remove me from the list. I would be the one to eff up the paintjob and I don\'t want to. You all did NMM which I have no idea of. I just can\'t do it. All the rest seems to be metal and even if it wasn\'t, I still would never be able to do a good job on other areas.

Believe me, I\'d completely RAPE that dwarf. Do it for the dwarf.

[Jkaen]

Mosch, I have never done NMM in my life before either, but I will give it a go if i get a metal bit, go for it, not like its a golden Demon entry

 

[Avicenna]

Mosch!! NOOOOOOO!! Its not about having an awesome model at the end but about working on something together as a CMON group! There is plenty that you could paint that doent have to be metallics - the armour plates could be laquered, maybe a glossy black with a gold (snakebite leather --> bubonic brown --> white on corners and sharp bits) trim on the edges.

But you cant pull out now

[Mosch]

I tells ya, yous all crazy!

The dwarf looks really good now. Why knowingly bring it down? I don\'t give out fine china to babies to play with, don\'t do the equivalent to the mini

 

[Dragonsreach]

@Mosch: I think you are selling yourself short! Ok it\'s a great looking piece of work so far, but any area you choose to work on is well within you capabilities.

I know from your gallery that you prefer to paint quickly, but in this case I would suggest that you work as slowly as the paint will allow.

I\'ve been watching the two \"Round Robin\" threads with interest and I\'m realy glad to see the tremendous work being done by the various painters.
A multi-national project like this is the core of what CON is all about.
