What have you painted/converted today

[Flamekebab]

The truck kit I've been creating continues to progress:




I'm looking forward to the next bit of the construction process as it's going to be pretty much exclusively detailing. Then I've got to design another two axles (as ideally I want the vehicle to be usable without the truck extension kit) and the canopy frame/roll bars.

They're not done yet but I've been enjoying working on them:

I bought a bunch of Reaper Bones miniatures for a relatively low price for my birthday.

They're pretty nice and they're made of some sort of highly bendable plastic polymer (which surprisingly works okay-ish with plastic glue, although slowly).
The only real complaints that I have are that they have a much lower sharpness of detail than the current GW plastics and that they're usually a bit taller than your average 28mm heroic scale miniature (usually one head taller, not much, but definitely noticeable if that bothers you).

These are the ones that I got:
(I'll post pictures when I paint some of them tomorrow or the day after)

A head taller is OK if you're using them as heroes or whatever I guess... and yeah, I can see they look a bit less sharp than some other equivalents, but they're generally nice looking models.

I want to get some paint from home so I can start on my DW model collection. :/

Every day's a good day when you paint.

Okay, this guy is mostly finished:



After taking these photos I figured out that he needs some additional contrast.
I'll make the folds in his robes darker. The armour plates look pretty bad too...
Maybe it's because of the weather and the lack of light, but it looks pretty awful on these pictures.

[Jubal]

Aye. I'd almost be tempted to buy more paint here, but I've got tons back in Norfolk and really can't justify that.

[comrade_general]

I do all of my acrylic paintings with $0.50 craft paint from Wal-Mart.

[Jubal]

I can't get acrylics anything like that cheaply here :/

[Silver Wolf]

A bunch of Reaper troll models.
They were pretty cheap, but they look good in my opinion.
Especially when you put some GW bits on them.



They are as big as BFSP troll when mounted on a base.
A bit more muscular, though.

[Pentagathus]

Ooh nice

[Jubal]

Look forward to seeing them painted

[Silver Wolf]

Here's some other stuff I'm working on:

A goblin boss. I don't like the way he turned out. Varnish ate up the highlights.


WIP night goblin shamans:


Gorlag Gobsmasha himself. I'm stuck with this guy. I just can't pick a colour scheme.


And a black orc BSB. Any suggestions what to do with this guy? He seems a bit bare.

[Pentagathus]

Replace his sword with something less ridiculous?
Edit: Or is that a spikey club? Or a hedgetrimmer?

[Jubal]

Definitely a hedgetrimmer
