More rampage:

NOw I'm working on these:









Kind of lost it a bit there with the voodoo queen but I had no idea what to do with a dress other than pull it off... so I tried flowers.

Should I deflower her again?

I love the yellow on the marine. 
The pirate captives look really cool.

Bright yellow flowers seem a little out of place for a voodoo queen, but they look good!

What you might want to do is to get a balance between 'real' and 'fantastic'.

At real vodou ceremonies, the dominant colour is white. This is then accented by a small addition of colour – which colour that is depends on the vodou spirit being honoured.

For example, here's a photo I took at Fete Gede, which is the Vodou feast of the dead. The colour of the Gede spirits is purple:



So, just a hint of colour on a base of white should capture the mood.

Hope that gives you some inspiration!

Admit it, the only reason you painted flowers was so you could ask that question!

Really nice work. I quite like the flowers. Don't you think that the space marine is a wee bit over powered for a game with pirates?

He is clearly not a space marine, he is a space pirate  (Well, actually he is an Alternative Armies Retained Knight)

[Dr. The Viking]

YES!

After being tested in the Schrödinger equation and receiving an A I am now officially on holidays! That means painting!  

I here by swear that the next I post in this thread here on the LAF will include something newly built or painted!

Happy holidays and y'all take care now.

Congratulations! I knew you were physical...

So in my usual contempt for proper handy work and general lack of time I'm trying to finish a British Fort and my pirate ship for the weekend in one day:

Here are the mere beginnings:


First the basic shape


And then some fast planking...


The boat! 

[Dr. The Viking]

Slow progress:

[verd]

 Fantastic beginnings.

[dijit]

Good start Thorbjørn, nice use of milk cartons!

[styx]

Great stuff!

[Malamute]

I have to agree, inspirational use of them

[Dr. The Viking]

I have to agree, inspirational use of them

Moths are the necessity of invention, as I always say.

But I hope it's going to work. 

Maybe I could dub it Fort Lait... and then it could sub as a fort for my French Legion in VSF.

[vikotnik]

Just call it 'Fort Late' then, instant joke material...

  The ship! You are nearly finished! ...in one day! I needed three effing weeks just to paint mine!
