[WIP] Stuffs.

Manage to work more on the Khorne guy... still playing around with NMM... Totally can't get it right...



connected the neck for Sally... obviously it needs a tons of touch up... (can I really make it before end of this month....?)

Also blew my last available hobby fund on this, brought on Friday, assembled last night/early today...

ps: Birthday this week. Nearing the big 30... the impending doom of Midlife Crisis. 
Wish List : cash, cash, C.A.S.H.

Yet another lack of progress week~_~

I'm so sleepy that I cant even form sentence, so I will do this in point form instead :

- Friday, visit Legio again, manage to start painting my Golden Kris entry, the Khorne guy with BFA
- Friday, ask Syamael for a game on Sunday while I'm abit tipsy =p
- Friday, got back from Legio, downed another 3 can of carlsberg, stay up until 3a.m-ish playing games
- Saturday, sleep, wake up, lunch, sleep, wake up, dinner
- Saturday (after dinner), finally make up my mind to get a Necron Battleforce and Codex just for the sake of taking part in Legio K3 and performing the bro-fist with Blood Angle, will be partner be Hakim, another newcomer
- Continue painting my Khorne guy until 1am something
- Could be sleeping too much... I.SUFFER.INSOMNIA
- Continue painting my Khorne guy until 4am something
- Sunday, Syamael gimme a ring... he is @ forge already, OMGWTFBBQ, send my laundry to FLGD (frenly local good dobi), eh..belum buka, so just go straight to fore
- Sunday, TA again by space wolf on turn 3 =p (Thanks for the game Syamael, I think I start to get a hang of it...)
- Sunday, Iqbal dropping by
- Sunday, meet up with Hakim, a pact is formed (via BA/Necron bro-fist)... gotta allocate some hobby fund for a Necron Battleforce+HQ and Codex, paint them decently, and maybe sell it off after K3 for more chaos stuff...
- Sunday, rush back from Alvin's to FLGB, OMGWTFBBQ, not open today??!!
- Sunday, got a piece of terrain from Alvin's, primed it black, half way, raining cat and dog... manage to save it in time. This should be a fun piece to paint, will paint it Chaos style =__,=
- Sunday, cincai cincai snap a picture of WIP Khorne guy, post this blog entry

As usual, consider the below average picture quality as teaser for GK entry

Planning to do this piece purely NMM style (with OSL throw into mix for good measure), you might notice the axe is actually painted in NMM, trying NMM on the other metallic part, not quite satisfy, might redo it.

Outstanding Hobby Stuff :
- Terrain
- Submit registration for K3 on next Friday
- Necron thingy - come up with a list and see whether should go for Battleforce and decide which lord
- Sally
- Khorne Guy

Conclusion : Action packed hobby week. Could be annoyingly busy for the coming weeks. Sleepy.

[WIP] Raptors (Almost finish...) and Sally (Long way to go...)

Falls asleep a couple of time yesterday due to the extremely nice weather (read: wasted yesterday...)

Only manage to paint very little over the course of yesterday and today... but I think with a bit of touch up here and there, the Raptor should be ready...

Some extra highlight needed

Dodging bolters, Matrix style.

Need to do some extreme highlight on this fella, too


There are still some details (the rivet and the flames) left on the champion.




Also manage to work a little on Sally today..
Sculpted some "Hair" for Sally...


The "Hair" is actually a ... Facehugger wannabe =__,=

Also work abit on the body portion... forget to snap picture on side part, I sculpted some rib bone.. but not quite satisfy with the outcome...

Forgive me Chaos God, I've been a lazy heretic lately...

Been lack of update for like..3 weeks... Well... over the period I only manage to paint up another 2 raptors..
But on a brighter note, at least I played like 3 games (my first three game ever ^^" still confuse bout all the rules) over the course...

Originally planned to at least paint up one more raptor today, but well, as usual... I was swayed and instead go play with some green stuff (not exactly all green stuff... some milliput is used too... it actually works kinda nice, less sticky and give a very smooth finish)...


Today, I restarted the project of Sally the defiler, Sally the defiler is one of the project that I abandoned last year, and hell, I don't really blog it~_~, it's basically a Slaanesh themed chaos defiler, with a female torso, I find that the current defiler design is too... manly... for something Slaaneshi... so I decided to add my own touch to the already awesome kit.



and so, stealing a line from Stephen King... SALLY LIVES! (..errr... partially...)

 Tested a few time for sculpting the head, just can't get the lips right, thrown away a few test prototype, this is the most satisfy output~_~



 oh, ya, you might have spotted the kabuki model (steam borg) behind, it was actually meant to be use as Sally's torso, but heck, when it arrived, I realize it was way too small....

the left over Milliput and GS is used to bash the body, and yeah, that's boobs..obviously this is WIP, will layer it with more Milliput (due to it's finer finish), I also realized that I need *more* reference for *female body* =____,=

Other than Sally, I also sculpted a partial skull with flames (Metallica Flaming Skull style =D), it will be used as a part for my Golden Kris single model entry (If I'm able to finish Sally, it will be my large model entry, shout out to Iqbal, 2012 will be the year of Slaanesh for large model on GK, kekeke). I'm waiting for it to dry for the moment...


Thats all.. finally I updated this bloody blog =P

[WIP] Raptor (touched up)















One down, four to go. Spent 2 hours to paint it yesterday noon, 1 hour something at night, and another 4 hours (on and off, multiple ciggie breaks included) today... so I think my average time should be around 5-6 hours per model I guess.

Self Amusement : Paint a raptor in 2 hour time. - pt2

EPIC FAIL.

LOL.

Chain sword and bolter = black.

Freehand = Imagonnaredothat

detail on backpack=non-exist


 Conclusion : speed painting is not for me. 2 hours is barely enuff for putting down the base color.

Self Amusement : Paint a raptor in 2 hour time.

Okkkkk.... I will start at 1300 GMT...

Hopefully on 1515 GMT (including the snap picture n upload time), this bugger can be fully painted.

[WIP] 60 cents and some epoxy putty, my erection problem solved.

Don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy and functional, just so you wonder.

Spent some time to clean the mold line, assemble, and base the raptors, but today when I woke up, one big problem... they just don't... erect... and keep falling down...

While mine is resin finecast model, it really keep me wondering : how folks make them stand when they are still cast in metal.

After some google, some putty work and 60 cents (or shall I say, sen) poorer, behold, they finally long lastingly ERECTED!


On a side note... I'm always wondering another issue : actually how long does it take for me to paint *one* model, from base coat to fully painted... Tomorrow I will set a two hour and fifteen minute mark for myself to paint just one of these babies, let's see whether I can live blog this =___,=

At the same time, if things goes well, I shall upload it to the new 40kmalaysia forum (the URL might change later, it is still in beta...) for the forum logo competition.

Two raptor, one stone, babe!
