Title: Majorsmiths fantasy thread, ogre standard bearer pg4
Post by: majorsmith on February 17, 2014, 05:54:25 PM: Trying to get back into painting, I've really struggled to get into it recently, busy with work and playing a lot of basketball really get in the way of painting, I've finished 2 barrows in another thread and this seems to be helping me back into painting, the figures below I'm hoping will keep that trend going!

Post by: DeafNala on March 14, 2014, 07:51:55 PM: Both finished & W.I.P., you've got some GLORIOUS minis there. Your sense of color & brushwork are EXCELLENT; & the bases are TERRIFIC. Keep up the OUTSTANDING WORK!
Title: Re: Getting back to painting UPDATES
Post by: FramFramson on March 14, 2014, 08:52:28 PM: Those are looking very good. Nicely done!

Post by: Gibby on March 15, 2014, 11:42:48 AM: They look fantastic! I love Aenur - he came out great as a dark elf.
Title: Re: Getting back to painting UPDATES
Post by: mweaver on March 16, 2014, 02:51:30 AM: Nice work! I especially like the top picture (the elf - one of my favorite GW/Citadel models) and the plastic wraith. But all are quite nice.

When I say a bit, I actually mean a lot.

Post by: Mr. Peabody on April 02, 2014, 07:38:19 PM: Those columns are outstanding.

Where do they come from?
Title: Re: Getting back to painting SCENERY AND FIGURES ADDED
Post by: Dr DeAth on April 02, 2014, 08:02:51 PM: Very nice paint jobs.

What's the grass surface you're playing on? it looks very realistic.
Title: Re: Getting back to painting SCENERY AND FIGURES ADDED
Post by: Elbows on April 02, 2014, 10:06:02 PM: One of those garden mat/liner things - looks a treat. I don't know what it's actually called.
Title: Re: Getting back to painting SCENERY AND FIGURES ADDED
Post by: majorsmith on April 02, 2014, 10:21:58 PM: It's a hanging basket liner, about £5 from most garden centres, the columns are gw arcane ruins, not too bad, but had to use a Dremel to add detail as it only seems to be on the front and not the sides.
Title: Re: Getting back to painting SCENERY AND FIGURES ADDED
Post by: Mr. Peabody on April 02, 2014, 11:25:22 PM: Basket liner added to the list! Thank you very kindly...
Title: Re: Getting back to painting SCENERY AND FIGURES ADDED
Post by: DeafNala on April 03, 2014, 01:45:08 PM: The scenery & minis are BEAUTIFUL. I love what you've done with the Old Grenadier Evil Warriors...GREAT brushwork & palette. VERY WELL DONE!
Title: Re: Getting back to painting SCENERY AND FIGURES ADDED
Post by: majorsmith on April 03, 2014, 10:22:06 PM: Rest of the arcane ruins, I figure these will be okay for my argonaut figures too

Post by: pocoloco on April 15, 2014, 10:44:10 AM: Lovely brushwork and terrain pieces look outstanding as well.

I wonder if I'm able to find that garden liner thingy here abouts...
Title: Re: Majorsmiths fantasy thread, new figures pg3
Post by: DeafNala on April 15, 2014, 01:36:10 PM: The Old & Relatively Old Boys look SPLENDID. A FINE bit of brushwork & basing with an eye for colors can wonders on the older minis bringing out the charm often lacking in the newer pieces. VERY WELL DONE!
Title: Re: Majorsmiths fantasy thread, new figures pg3
Post by: Jevenkah on April 15, 2014, 02:12:55 PM: Your fleshtones are fantastic!

And the hanging plant liner is a fab idea.

My favourite flavour.

Post by: PatrickWR on April 15, 2014, 03:04:36 PM: That chaos dwarf is adorable! Great work all around. I'm going to have to investigate my local hardware store for a hanging plant liner.

Post by: Skrapwelder on April 15, 2014, 09:21:15 PM: Great work all around but I really like the Necromancer.
Title: Re: Majorsmiths fantasy thread, new figures pg3
Post by: Elbows on April 15, 2014, 09:48:27 PM: What's the deal with "moon duke"? Is he a goblin or orc, or does his moon just happen to be sculpted in a very goblin/orc fashion? Love your figures. Keep posting!

Post by: majorsmith on April 16, 2014, 10:50:13 PM: The tentacled dwarf is a citadel figure long oop now, got him off eBay I've been after him for sometime

I wonder if I'm able to find that garden liner thingy here abouts...
I went looking for such a thing at Home Depot last week and had no luck. What they had for 'hanging basket liners' looked more like the husk of a coconut... kinda brown and hairy and shaped into a bowl... not flat... nothing like the picture.
I'm gonna have another go at one of the local dedicated garden shops... and if not there maybe Walmart.
Title: Re: Majorsmiths fantasy thread, new figures pg3
Post by: Elbows on April 17, 2014, 08:21:30 AM: Looking around online you can find 40"x60" sheets...but you have to look around a bit.

http://www.thinkmint.net/liners.html

Look at the bottom entry "liner sheet for custom fitting" etc. This was a quick search I didn't check brands, or even colour. Almost 95% of the ones that popped up were pre-shaped for planters.

Post by: DeafNala on May 08, 2014, 02:06:57 PM: You've done an OUTSTANDING job with the standard bearer. The brushwork & base are inspiring to the point that I've dug out Capt. John's set of Ogres from the Vault for some attention. VERY WELL DONE!
