Subterranean VSF: Updated 25th of October (shroom forest board done)

[Whiskyrat]

Nice idea - looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Qu: Are you planning to build a Subterranean Tunnelling Machine or will the party be walking/climbing down in to the depths of the volcano?

[Captain Blood]

Excellent Thorbjørn. That's the best I've seen those WF Zulus looking 

What figures are you going to use for the beautiful, peaceful, free-love, fair-haired Eloi?

By the way, you do know Peter Jackson's doing a remake of The Time Machine, don't you? 

(Only kidding... )

***huge snippage***

...and I used a HUGE brush to speed up the painting.. so they're quite rough in some places.

Yes, yes, quite horrible; you shouldn't have to suffer so much. Ship them to me immediately, and I shall release you of this terrible burden. No need to thank me; what are forum brothers for?

PS You all DO know that color perception is often gender based. I'll dig up some images with turquoise paint, listen to you argue as to 'it's green', 'no, it's blue', and draw the appropriate conclusions...

PPS I would have said 'mauve - purple vs. pink', but this is no place for the word 'mauve'. Next thing you know, someone will use 'puce'...

Haha sure! (the italic is meant to indicate "american accent")

Oh well, French is all Greek to me

One does wonder what real miniatures given the same treatment would have looked like doesn't one?

And you can't shock me with Peter Jackson scares like that. I know perfectly well that he'll be allowed to continue his slow motion spree for several years and that he'll  probably let Elijah Wood star as the Terminator whenever he get's around to redo that one. 

As for Eloi I don't really know. As I'm not doing Time Machine as such I haven't given it that much thought. BUT - I have thought about it though... and from what I'm getting real Eloi women only exist in a nude variation. So that's where I'm going.

I think he'd do pretty good job of the Time Machine

Nice work on the Morlocks by the way

Sweden?

Err, so the figs aren't in the mail?

Actually, I don't think that sarcastic tone is exclusively American...

We just lack subtlety.

Fair's fair, I thought Mr. Wood did a satisfyingly creepy job in Sin City, and with each sequel, Terminators seem to be getting both larger AND smaller.

Sweden? I thought that image, from the I am Curious-genre, had just about been replaced with Wallender-esque.

That is a spiffing idea to use the plastic zulus in a different way.

I might have to borrow that idea 

They look purple to me.

here you definitely lost me....

[Johnno]

Very nice paint scheme

[Hat Guy]

In the book the Eloi are described as looking like children, the "juvenile" Eloi look the same as the "Adult" ones, just smaller.

The morlocks are pretty neat and this whole thread makes me want to go off and write the lyrics to "Subterranean Homesick VSF" 

"Johnny's makin' serum, workin' on a theorem, I'm on an Areonef thinking 'bout the government."

Meanwhile I will figure out some lyrics for "Cause I'm V.S.F. I'm dynamite/V.S.F. and I'll win that fight/V.S.F. I'm a power load/V.S.F. watch me explode".

OK sorry that will never happen again, but I'm going to see a little Australian electronic act (at least I think they're electric - after all their name is an abbreviation for alternating current / direct current) in a week for the second time in a year, so I'm quite excited.. 

Now back on topic: I'm nearly done doing the first of the morlocks pets. I'll keep in you in a limbo of excitement until I reveal my latest disasterpiece.

A little update to our subterranean project....

The models are not completely finished, the bearer and the guy with the lamp is still missing their eyes, but I wanted to give a little update before I go on holiday.



These will be some of the expedition force to go into the vulcano to explore.

But we still need more models with lamps or torches, I do have a guy with a torch from Artizans pulp line, but we could need 2-3 more models of that sort, so any ideas will be welcome...

[Calimero]

That's a nice addition to your project. Keep up the good work Jonas

Very nice!  Almost makes me want to switch to 28mm!
