Title: What I painted in March (2009)
Post by: rob_the_robgoblin on 05 March 2009, 12:01:39 PM
I had an early start this month, got some Uncharted Seas miniatures painted up.
I've also done some islands which I still have to photograph!

Glad to know that you came to our show! :)

It is an excellent game, with excellent miniatures and excellent support. They have been more than happy to send me replacement parts (as most of it is resin, they get broken easily) which is a great service.  :)

Nice Bungle, I especially like the little details like the sunflowers.

The buildings look not too different from snapdragon designs...

Hopefully I will have the time to paint more before the end of the month…

I just need to make my mind and decide whatever figures I will dig from the lead pile first...  ::)

This month just some young ladies with firearms from EM-4 and Copplestone Castings. They (plus some others are going straight onto eBay - some serious downsizing going on. [Click on any of the pictures for a better view].

I just finished two dozen really nice HLBS 28mm dinosaurs. This is a less impressive number than it might sound, because over half of them are compies and other tiny dog-sized dinos!

The Styracosaur is very large and much more impressive, though, and it'll be the centerpiece for my Round 10 Lost World entry for the LPL, so no photos until June, I'm afraid.

I'm going to figure out my LPL teams this weekend, hopefully, and anything not being held back for LPL will have pictures up sometime next week!

I've also completed 14 bases of jungle foliage suitable for huntin' dinos in, and another couple CDs of other terrain - it's been a good two weeks here at Chez Wirelizard.

Let me see now!

I've painted two buildings, one windmill and a vege enclosure which there is a topic on.

Three goblins on wolves, one goblin standard bearer an a goblin fighter from the Goblin factory for Michael Broadbent. Plenty more to do there over the coming months. Apparantly, I can paint green!
A Zulu Induna which has a separate topic.

The remainder in photographs alongside a goblin standard bearer. Some basing material still needs to be finalised on some.

I'm still working on some additional Turks.

Hey Helen, excellent stuff, really like the little goblin/orc thing.

Perhaps make the pics a bit smaller or put a space between each one to make them easier to view in future?  :)

A reasonably productive month for me. I've posted most of my newly painted minis in the Future Wars thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=10293.msg118328;topicseen#new), but here are the others that don't technically fall under that Doctor Who banner:

Artizan Kiss Kiss Bang Bang security guards:

Two Pulp Figures mad scientists, and a Hasslefree lab technician:

Arkwright, Granville & shopbike.  All conversions.

I painted a full set of the current resin frontages for use as display items by OWS.

Also, I built & painted a few walls for the Geezers game.

This was possibly my most productive month ever.  :o

I don't wanna go straight after Overlord...  :'(

This month, in order to try and stay focused, I decided to not have more than six figs on the table at any one time, and a new fig couldn't be started until another was finished. Why 6? Because that's how many inserts came in the Ikea box I store my paints in...

Anyhoo, 29 completed! Woo! that's nearly as much as last year's total! For the whole year!

Anyway, on to poor quality pictures (apologies, our digital camera takes pics only in shades of pink now for some reason, so we're left using the phone cameras):

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a100/myincubliss/31032009010.jpg)
11 zeds and a survivor, as seen on the Future Wars board

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a100/myincubliss/31032009011.jpg)
A cyborg ninja, just because. I may try to shoehorn him into the zombie project, or just claim he was the justification for the purchase of a small flat drybrush...

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a100/myincubliss/31032009012.jpg)
Tamiya heavy weapon teams for AEWWII, painted using the sure fire method of throwing paint at them from a distance of two feet in a darkened room in my enthusiasm at getting them finished so I could start the other projects I started since joining these forums...

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a100/myincubliss/31032009014.jpg)
Sarge, a golem and a converted medic - the golem has blue runes across his chest, arms and legs, which you can't see in this pic   :?

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a100/myincubliss/31032009013.jpg)
AEWWII mechanic. Couple more units to paint and I'll have enough painted figs to play a game...

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a100/myincubliss/31032009015.jpg)
Rasputin, Hellboy and Silent Invader's Generic casualty, which I still haven't been confident enough to splash TCR on yet... Funny story - Rasputin, after sitting undercoated for a couple years, finally got layered up to a light grey, had blue washed into the recesses, and then a badab black wash to tie it all together... which dried pretty much matte black. Into the finished pile he went...

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a100/myincubliss/31032009016.jpg)
Hellboy on his lonesome - apart from some soft detail on the gun, I was really impressed with this sculpt...

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a100/myincubliss/31032009020.jpg)
Darkson Designs Robot Troopers - lovely jubbly minis  :D

Anyhoo, apologies for the quality of the pics, and hoping next month will be as productive as this one...

The Geezers are available from:

If you mean Arkwright & G-G-Granville:
Arkwright is a conversion of Artizans 'Arne': http://www.artizandesigns.com/prod.php?prod=1224
I removed his right arm & pistol at the elbow & resculpted it in his pocket.  I also added hair & a moustache.

Granville is a the Foundry Old West 'Irritable Shopkeeper' with additional hair & tie poking out of his tank-top:

Post by: rob_the_robgoblin on 08 April 2009, 12:42:21 PM
myincubliss, the minis look dark because of the white background. The camera reads this as being backlit and makes the main image look darker.
To avoid this, use a white-blue screen.
This is why I hate digital, it tries to double guess you.

Or use a flashgun at 45degrees with 2 DAYLIGHT lights either side of it.

EVIL digi-cams.  :)

The camera will struggle with a pure white backdrop.  Only so much you can do with a phone camera but blue/white gradient background should work better than white

It will work better. Most of it depends on the way it is lit. Light it from 45 degree angles.
