Title: What I painted in June 2008
Post by: JollyBob on 02 July 2008, 10:06:24 AM
Looks like its my turn to start again, ifnobody minds.

Some you may have seen before in the Colonial threads, but there's a couple of bits from the last few days.

Nine askaris, a mountain gun and three crew, four bearers, one donkey, two pack horses, one expedition scout, two pygmies and a pair or dinosaurs, making last month's total a respectable 25 pieces.

How did everybody else do?

Tremendous ouput Mr Bob.

Me?  Only one figure that's in the Steve Dean Forum Comp so I can't show it, and I completed my LPL round 10 entry, which I can't show either  ;)

I managed a personal best- 59 figures all up, a mixture of 54mm, 28mm and 20mm plastics the best part being I finally finished some sections that have been sitting around waiting for nearly five years!  Now all I have to do is find a use for them  :D

thats a part of it. All in All about 20 Miniatures in June, but that amount is´nt actually that good, because I had a week of vacation and painted almost nothing in that time.

Thanks peeps!  :)

Looks like there's a few folk out there trying to do the "see how many you can do in a month, then try and break that record" thing. Unless Matakishi turns up, I think Stu may have won so far.

@Bandit86: I really like him too, thanks. He's got a scary face on the back of the mask too, I just didn't take a picture of that one. He's one of the new ones from Black Cat Bases. If you screw you eyes up and wish really hard, they actually get your order to you before you place it! Incredible!  :o

Lots done this month.

20 Space Marines, these were being thrown out by a fellow gamer so I salvaged and repainted them.  I won't post pics of them all, they all look mostly like this.

From the lead mountain, an old Necromunda Van Saar gangster, he has a nice generic sci-fi look, could be used for all sorts of games.

The Lost Ark, from Croc Games.
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/scenery-ark-1.jpg)

The last few models for my UNIT Platoon, also Stargate Explorers and Modern British Paratroopers.

Ninjas, they look forward to killing us soon.  From Perry Miniatures.
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/ninjas-1.jpg)(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/ninjas-2.jpg)

More Star Wars repaints and conversions. I gave the Arconan a bigger gun.

My Goa'uld for Stargate games, by Croc Games.
(http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/stargate-jaffa-goauld.jpg)

Now I've got him done, I copied his colour scheme onto the Jaffa I'd already painted.

Then I realised the Goa'uld would make a great coach for my bloodbowl team, so I added the colours to them too.  A few of these I had done last month, but lacked team colours.

A 1:48 scale Huey for 'Nam gaming.  I've another part done on the plating table now.

A pair of household staff, from Artizan

Sadly no, I had an accidental overdose on some of my meds, screwed up my sleep for a few weeks.  When I can't sleep, I paint.

On the flip side, I didn't actually get much gaming in.  Only Bloodbowl last month.

Not much done either. On the up side, I finally painted that mammoth for my Norse. Will post pics tomorrow when I can upload them.

As usual, crap pictures (sorry).

Some pulp figures. The sailor is a Brigade Games conversion, Tintin and Snowy are scratchbuilt.

(http://wk.frothersunite.com/misc/pics/june3.jpg)

An extensive conversion of the heroclix Ultimate cap (new head, using a BAM helmet, extra bulk on torso, arms and legs).
(http://wk.frothersunite.com/misc/pics/june1.jpg)

Norse: two reaper dwarf bear riders and a mammoth conversion. Mammoth is a papo toy, driver is a Foundry viking, howdah and other details are scratchbuilt using popsicle sticks, chain, greenstuff, matchsticks, foundry shields and a plastic GW dwarf standard top.
(http://wk.frothersunite.com/misc/pics/june2.jpg)

It has room for 6 figures based on 20mm bases (with some margin). Next pictures show it with 6 pretty much randomly picked figures from my infantry.

That is one cool Heffalump, WK.  8)

And those scratchbuilds look great! I'm planning to do a vouple of my own for a project, did you find it difficult, or have you had lots of practice? I'm bricking it, to be honest. I want to do it, but I know they'll be rubbish.  :(

If you mean the tintin figs, I used an Ebob puppet for armature, which helped a lot to get the proportions and pose right. The fact that there was plenty of reference material to use as concept drawing shelped too.
I haven't had a lot of practice. Just try it. The more ambitious the project, the better the result will be.

Thanks, that's encouraging, I have some armatures myself, so I at least have something to work off, and plenty of reference as I'm doing comic book characters too.

I suppose if I expect them to be awful, I can only be pleasantly surprised.
