Title: Hello
Post by: Lost Boy on March 01, 2010, 11:08:48 PM

Hello, I'm Lost Boy and I just joined today.

I've popped in a few times to check what's going on, but I thought it was about time I did a bit more than lurk.

Anyway, I paint figures and scratchbuild bases and generally like sticking things together to see what they look like...and treat them to a bit of slap if I think they're good.

Don't know what else to say... :)

Hello.

What genres, periods do you game/paint/build?

You will find this site to be the Beluga Caviar amongst a buffet table of mullet roe.   ;)

Hello Lost Boy.

Maybe you could say what styles of things you like sticking together, what kind of bases, and what ranges of figures. Spartans? Daleks? Spartans versus Daleks? Orcs, Victorian Adventurers, Apes in boiler siuts, Napoleon, Superman, mutated Nazis or Cavegirls in bikinis? Or, for that matter, mutated Nazis in bikinis? Are the things you stick together animal, vegetable or mineral (or a little of each)? And what goes on the bases, and why?

Whatever the answers to any of these queastions may be, welcome; I'm sure there will be at least some people on here who go 'yeah! That's cool! I have/want/am making one of those too!'

I usually pick a figure to paint then try and work out what his/her/it's surroundings would be and build something for that :).

As for styles and genres, I really just go for anything and everything that takes my fancy-I don't stick to any one company. At the moment I'm painting a GW Ork Nob, though before that was a zombie pirate for the Little Angels charity competition, the piece before that was a sorcerer, then there was a vampire version of the Scooby Gang, a zombie girl...the list kind of goes on. I try to do something different every time, though my style pretty much stays the same :-I.

I don't know why I spend as much time on the bases as I do the figures...I think I'm just trying to make it all into a little story. It's something I've done most of the time I've been doing figure. I don't play RPGs or wargame, so maybe I'm trying to say what I want to say with the models and bases...kind of like this...

Absolutely. If you paint that like, hell, I don't care about genres and whatnot, knock yourself out, do whatever you like... just, more examples of your great art please!

Hi Lost Boy

then there was a vampire version of the Scooby Gang

I would really love to see that.  Do you have any photos?

I have my own plans for a zombie/vampire hunter version of the Scoobies, and I would really like to see what you did to undead-ify your versions.

I'll put these on here for now until I can figure out how the album works... :?. They're all out there already, on WaMP and CMoN, so apologies to anyone who's seen them before.

My piece for the Little Angels competition on WaMP.

Awesome! I especially like the power armored woman running from the monster. "Feets, don't fail me now!"

Thanks for putting up the vampire Scooby gang, they look great.

Power armour Libby running from the Mawr is a great diorama.  There is a lovely blend of different stylles, from the clean, heraldic armour to the fleshy tones and the gums on the mawr right through to the industrial setting.

Really cool work :-*
