Der Stahl Maske & Stahl Kopf

[Supercollider]

The latest couple of minis I've painted.  The Steel Mask and his biological experiment - Steel Head!  I've been trying to improve my painting, but I think I have plateaued  

All C&C welcome!





And here's The Steel Mask with his anachronistic wheels (A Hot Wheels Repaint)

[Mason]

Quality work there, sir!
 

Fine painting and a lovely set of wheels.

I love the idea with the Superhero figure.
I have him somewhere, with the intention of using him for something completely different. You have got me thinking now....

[Papa Spanky]

Fantastic! Are the flowers bits of that sponge scatter on top of sil-flor type clump?

[Ray Rivers]

 

Excellent painting!

The flesh on the Steel Mask figure is really nice.

[Uncle Mike]

Brilliant!!! Always like to see Ol' Stahlly. Great concept. Love the bike! 

[Supercollider]

Cheers all! 

This was an exercise in painting flesh, and black clothing.  Both of which I struggle with.  Nice to get a thumbs up   Going to try and do better with the next batch of models, I think maybe I need to get more fleshy paints, at the moment am limited to old GW Dwarf Flesh, Elf Flesh and Ogryn Flesh wash.  Any recommendations of good paints to fill the gaps of my small array?

The flowers are indeed Army Painter tufts topped with some crumbs of that foamy scatter... I'd seen some other folks' bases with flowers and I had a brainwave when I was basing these

As my main gaming focus is VSF I had to think of a way to include these - so am currently finishing up a 'Time Tunnel' type machine for them to use (I can also use them in my Doctor Who games).  Will try and post it tomorrow.

Here's a quick time tunnel/generic device - made from an old face cream pot, Bionicle bits, and a good old Doctor Who spinner (For the back).

Steel and Steel prepare to embark:



Front and rear of the machine:





The doodads are made from the floats from draught beer cans and superglue lids.  Could be useful for force-field generators, amongst other things.



Now I need to paint the scientist mini from the same pack as the Steel Mask.

Genius.
I love that time tunnel also, keep it up.

Great Stuff!

Love this. Absolutely brilliant!

You haven't been reading "Lightning" by accident, have you? 

[Supercollider]

You haven't been reading "Lightning" by accident, have you? 

No, what's that?

[General]

Cool!  Great paint job, too.

[Hauptgefreiter]

No, what's that?

Wow, sounds great.  I'll definitely look out for that. Thanks.
