Title: Astropolis....
Post by: Dags on 23 February 2022, 01:05:27 PM
Had a blast doing these despite an awful lot of WTFery going on with the minis.

So good! These are such whimsical sculpts, and your paintjobs really bring that out.

Absolutely brilliant! It's much to my chagrin that I have still only painted a handful of these. They're so characterful and I love your colour choices, especially that purple on the aliens.

Magister Militum show some packs in stock, and you should be able to get the whole range from Miniaturicum, although that would mean ordering from Germany.

They're a lot of fun, and they look good coloured in.

Could you define 'WTFery'?

Would that be poor casts, unclear details or xomething else entirely?

More a case of having no idea of what was going on with a lot of them; pipes and other assorted gubbins that have no apparent logic or reason. The plus side is that gave me the opportunity to use colours and colour combinations that I wouldn't normally consider using

I think Noble Knight Miniatures had some packs of them for stateside purchases.  I might actually have some ... somewhere.....

They look great!

Where are the gobbos from?

Where are the gobbos from?

No idea! (They were all in the same box   ;D)
Title: Re: Astropolis....
Post by: manic _miner on 15 September 2022, 05:51:40 PM
 Great work on all of these Jon.

 The two figures sitting on boxes might be the wrong way around as the human seems to have his hands wider apart for the bigger box.

 Space Goblins are from here.

Know what you mean about the boxes BUT the other one is lower and he doesn't fit on it.

Very beautiful. Need to paint mine.

What a grand show, nice and colourful, and immensely characterful.
Those goblins, though less showy than the weird characters, are very inspiring  8)

 Looking at the KS for the Astropolis figures the sitting figures are shown sitting on Wooden boxes which it says are not supplied.I think if the Human was on the longer box he would look like he is reclining with his legs slightly out.

 Great work on all of these.Also the first batch you painted up.

 How goes the Space Marine Force?

Slowly coming along. Doing another whenever I get a chance.  Unfortunately the need to eat has to come first.
