Post by: Grimmnar on 16 May 2012, 03:46:32 AM: Thought i would start a link. Maybe for peeps who didn't get LPL entries completed on time or other distractions got in the road in April. :-)

Post by: CyberAlien312 on 19 May 2012, 12:15:03 PM: Well, so far I painted some GW minis. I painted a War mumak of Harad, Éomer (mounted), a pack of wargs, some wood elf-like outpost terrain, an 80's night club terrain (so that I can use it with my geezers! shut it! minis), a lonely space marine, some geezers and an Audi Quattro. I also made and painted a CID office for use with Geezers! Shut it! minis, based loosely upon the police headquarters of Ashes to Ashes (a TV series). See more of it here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=41979.msg489768#msg489768

Post by: Steve F on 31 May 2012, 03:50:27 PM: On the first of the month, I finished off these brains in jars (the figure is there to give some sense of scale).

(http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz62/SteveFlanaganUK/Doctor%20Who%201963-64%20project/121_2107.jpg)

Since then, well ...

"I have of late—but wherefore I know not--lost all my mojo, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly shape, the gaming figure, seems to me a sterile tin and lead casting, this most excellent canopy, the internet, look you, this brave o'erhanging world wide web, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a miniature! How noble in sculpting! How infinite in possibilities of colour! In form and paint how express and admirable! In pose how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of hobbies! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Miniature man delights not me: no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.”

Post by: Dolmot on 03 June 2012, 10:30:32 PM: My previous what-I-painted entry is from last November and it reflects the truth. That's truly depressing. :'(

Anyway, in May I painted a mansion (of madness).

(http://dolmot.net/mini/terrain/mansion1-800.jpg) (http://dolmot.net/mini/terrain/mansion1-2000.jpg)
(http://dolmot.net/mini/terrain/mansion2-800.jpg) (http://dolmot.net/mini/terrain/mansion2-2000.jpg)

Some investigation for scale...

(http://dolmot.net/mini/terrain/mansion3-800.jpg) (http://dolmot.net/mini/terrain/mansion3-2000.jpg)

But of course, Georgian mansions of ill repute should only be entered at midnight.

(http://dolmot.net/mini/terrain/mansion4-800.jpg) (http://dolmot.net/mini/terrain/mansion4-2000.jpg)

I may retouch some bits there, but more likely I won't. That piece has already stolen more than enough of my precious time.

For something completely unrelated, these have been on my table for half a year. I've added a tiny bit of paint every month. Having already forgotten, whether there was something to fix, I just finished the bases and called it a day.

(http://dolmot.net/mini/Arkham/egypt1-600.jpg) (http://dolmot.net/mini/Arkham/egypt1-1200.jpg)

Excluding the terrain piece, my output seems to add up to two minis in six months. Still sad. :(
Title: Re: What I Painted in May 2012
Post by: Steve F on 03 June 2012, 10:32:22 PM: Oh, wow. The illuminated manor house is wonderful. Is that the Grand Manner building wit the windows cut out and replaced?
Title: Re: What I Painted in May 2012
Post by: Dolmot on 03 June 2012, 10:53:18 PM: Thanks. :) It's from JR Miniatures (http://www.jrminiatures.net/5100chewhouse.aspx), carved and cut. (About 784 panes, each individually. Don't try this at home.) It was also one ugly cast with endless bubbles, blobs and missing corners. I wonder if their store paintjob attempts to mask that with liberally applied paint. My goal was to achieve a slight improvement from that.

Does Grand Manner even make one?

Yes, part of their WW2 Carentan range.

Stunning work!

Whomakes the miniatures above? And what scale are they?

Title: Re: What I Painted in May 2012
Post by: Dolmot on 05 June 2012, 02:10:18 PM: Hello. Some further answers/comments:

Steve: Thanks, I found it here (http://www.grandmanner.co.uk/16th17th_Century_stone_manor_house--product--192.html). Quite similar in style but obviously different in details. The JR building is Cliveden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliveden_%28Benjamin_Chew_House%29) so I only browsed GM's FIW/AWI/ACW section with no success.

Because the JR store version isn't in authentic colours, I decided to try it myself. Unfortunately the model isn't 100% architecturally correct. Also, I couldn't be entirely sure about the colours, because they look a bit different in all source photos due to lighting and camera settings. Nevertheless, it should be somewhere close enough. My photo setup adds it own twist as well so what you see isn't precisely what you get.

OSR: They're from RAFM's Expedition to Egypt (http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02970&Category_Code=COCM) blister - in what we call 28mm scale, although possibly on a smallish side within that.

Prof: Thanks for the compliments. Much appreciated. :) I'll do my best to produce more in the next two months or so. It's the summer event season and all...

Bronze Age. He stated that. But I understand why you missed it. Because that is a damn fine paint job and you were mesmerized by it. :-)
Bronze Age does have some fine products. I do so love their dwarves.

No, it was because I had no idea there is a brand called Bronze Age. I was only familiar with the historical period. :)
