Marovingean Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Really good stuff Lunchbox, I mean truly mindblowing. I would love to say how you could improve it, but to be honest (my true opinion) it cannot be improved really. I can't see anything that can be tweaked.

mario Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Well, no good project is right without a setback or two. I poured the 2-part resin water on the base 3 days ago, and it's still very sticky, and stringy like melted cheese. Every time I try to water this happens. So, I may be flocking in the areas that I "watered" just to get this one done. If it's still not solid then you could try adding more of the hardener part. This should accelerate the process (to some degree). Although you should probably experiment with that first and not start on your shiny, new, and nearly finished miniature. And I do not know how it would affect the transparency of your resin water (it can get murky if things are done wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 I spent some time last night cleaning the explosed part of the base with a q-tip, and simple green. I then taped off the area again, and mixed a tiny little batch, with a bit more hardener. I put it under a blow dryer for about 15 seconds to get all the bubbles up, and we'll see how it turns out. The thickness is where I want it, and it doesn't seem to be pushing the tape loose this time as well...so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! The resin water was actually very clear...it's the GW water that always looks milky. M...thanks for the kind words...there is room for improvement, but I'm glad you like!

Inquisitor =D= Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Ooh He's pretty. ;) Though... I'm not sure about the hair. It looks like its flowing in the wind but nothing else on him is... Strange. Yeah thats the only criticism I can think of at the moment... Maybe I'll go flop my hair around a bit see if I cant get it to do that. Lol... :blush: =]D[= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milb Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Looks like he's wearing a wig!? oÔ Though I like the the rest of your work. Even if the scriptors (?is he a scriptor) armor is not blue like it should be. Great Thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 it does look a bit like a wig although the 3/4 profile shot in the top left makes it look really effective nice model tbh i dont car what the colour is whether its blue or purple it still looks brill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yeah...I was playing around and thought I'd GS some hair onto an Empire head...he has a "certain" look...I think he'll be the Master of the Chapter's "adult video" collection...he looks a bit...huzahhh! He's not a Librarian...the Librarian is on the page before this one. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayfarer Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 "Foolish xenos, don't you know you can never match my glorious golden locks. HAHAHA." Seriously though, beautiful work. I really love the soft lavender colors you've been using on these guys. (among a lot of other things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunchBox Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 After playing around a little, I decided to add a little freehand to the first 2 masters. I need the practice. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/mastersfreehand-1.jpg ...and here's what I've gotten done on the "Master of the Chapter's Adult Video Collection" ('cause that's what he looks like): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/master3wip3-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor =D= Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Way to go Lunchbox! That free hand really pops on there. It looks great but doesn't detract from the rest of the mini! Yay. Lol... And you said you weren't any good at freehand. :( =]D[= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 what is the open entry? ALL OF THEM? the writing is good although i dunno it seems a little un-neat in places not in the painting in the lettering they are at different levels ect. but still amazing work allround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 All 3 purple guys are my open entry. Glad ya'll like them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 These look incredible man, hope you win! It's been some time since I've read all the thread but are you going to do a diorama-type stand for them all? Can we have a group shot please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 one suggestion....ideally id love for that hair to be burned...but since its painted ill keep it in mind.....try to smoothen the transtions, so it doesnt look so firey also avoid making the part so defined, it makes the hair look very fake other than that they look fit for the garbage bin :) after the extra stuff i have is gone...you will be able to notice a trend in my figure choice :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick O))) Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I can't knock the technique, what with it being outstanding and all, but the guy's hair really don't sit well with me. I think someone else pointed out how it seems to be blowing in the wind yet his tabards and purity seals aren't doing, but it's the colour of it which jars for me. I don't think he suits blonde hair :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 The last Master of the Chapter is done: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/master3finished-1.jpg Here they are as a group...the lighting on these guys was doen in a very intentional way; the viewer is the source of light...so the way they will be displayed on the base that I'm working on will be correct for the angles in which they are displayed...if that makes sense: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/mastersfinished-1.jpg And...the Librarian...I had to scrape out the water because it had not cured in almost 2 weeks. I hate that I had to do that because I loved the way it looked...but it is what it is: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/LibbieFinished-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunchBox Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'm glad ya'll like them...I'm finishing up the rest of my entries which are sadly not board appropriate. I'll probably create a thread in the Hall of Honor section displaying all the PA'd finished works as they will be presented at GD Chicago. Thanks to all who have given their input, and followed this blog over the course of the year.,,and I hope to meet some of you, and see others again at Chicago next week!

Iacton Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Good luck, Lunch! I hope that a shiny demon shines on you ;) And of course....whether you win or not, there'll need to be a new demon quest in a couple of weeks time!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 I was looking in this thread for pics of a model to show collector, andI never even realized I had not updated this... The command squad got silver, the 3-stooges got bronze in open, and I got my first gold...not pa'd though. Thanks to all for your input...it most certainly helped!

Metal Fingered Villain Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 blargh, fantastic painting as usual and so fast too! I must admit though, I am not a fan of that fabio-esque hair on the last chapter master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
