I love it Z!
It's basically perfect!! This whole pregnancy thing seems to be doing wonders for your painting hand! Maybe I should get myself preggers - got the golden demons coming up....
What I really like is the contrast between the earthy WWI tones and the brightness of the hobbit aspects/curtains/shrubbery etc - very nice indeed!

Adam, you've got to get your one painted - it really sells the model! I liked it before, but after seeing this painted one i REALLY like it now!
@Carsjr: really like the way you've done him and the armour looks really realistic

are you going to black-line between his hands?
He is looking awesome! The reaper barbar you painted was your best work to date... but now this guy is so nearly finished he clearly blows the other Reaper one out the window. Definitely my favourite of all your minis now!

« on: September 07, 2006, 01:39:09 PM »
Balgin, do you have any idea how much time and effort Steve Irwin put into ecology and conservation?
No?
Not many people do outside Oz - he didnt blow his own trumpet, or strut around bathing in the glory if his own selflessness. He had a great respect for animals and a realy enthusiastic curiosity which allowed people to see the magnificance of these creatures really quite close. Yes, he was different to our Bellamies and Attenboroughs, but he was an archetypal Crocodile Dundee and a modern counterpart for these guys who were my staple TV when I was younger (who am I kidding, I still watch attenborough whenever he is on!).
At least it was quick...!

I think ithis sort of thing also helps when determining which colours to use to shade/highlight to get different effects. A very useful resource - thanks for sharing!

I reckon that in Kev's case, the speed it is sculpted probably just means he is really into it and focussed, and as such its probably going to be even better than a slower piece

Questions and Answers / Sculpting smoothly
« on: September 05, 2006, 03:55:00 PM »
Hi guys...
I have a question for all you experienced sculptors out there... When you are laying one piece of green over a dried piece, how do you stop a ridge forming and get the top piece to blend smoothly with the bottom?
For example, in Kev's recent WIP of the tigress, you can clearly see the different areas of greenstuff used (which I know is just the bulking stage), but when he is fnished they are totally smooth and there is no way of telling that it is made of more than one piece. How do you get it so smooth?
ta muchly!
