[BloodASmedium]

[Scherdy]

Your overexcitement makes me feel warm and fuzzy BAM. But not like an old bowl of fruit left in the window too long.

The pic stopped working. Re-fixed now. Thanks for the encouragement. Tried to build a base this weekend. Will primer it tonight and see what it needs.

 

[Coyotebreaks]

too many things to comment on but all the patin jobs in this three look great, really tidy painting.

the penguin so far is very cool. no suggestions on the red I'm a afraid but I agree it is a little too pink.

 

[BloodASmedium]

I love all of it....Def worthy of a mini exchange down the road need a scherdy masterpiece for my cabin et...the penguin rocks.....I gotta be honest nicki babe's I never really bother to look at my friends galleries I'm always wrapped up in my own w I p but I gotta tell you I've never EVER been more dumbfounded when I went in your page and saw these last 3 models...wtf you should have high 8 to 9 averages.it's unbelievable how good you are.....I thought (don't know why) you were just a big time gamer...turns out your a full time complete hobbyist..and I'll never forget you voting for me...thanks mate next year I'll return the favor..

 

[Scherdy]

Full time gamer? HA, I think I had dreams of that off and on, but I could probably count the miniatures games I've played of all systems combined on my fingers and toes. Those dreams quickly became a realization that I never paint fast enough or am able to call something done to finish an army. And I really never wanted to play anything unpainted. So those dreams are on hold until I can win the lottery and paint full time and probably hire a bunch of you guys here on salary to paint stuff with me?

I say we start a pact, first one to win the lottery/powerball that's over 300 million and retire, hires the others from here for a livable salary to paint full time!! We'll live on a weird compound and nobody will know about it until one of us gets a god-complex, makes it into a religion and the place burns to the ground. It'll be tragic at the end, but up until then, we'll be in mini painting nirvana. WHo's in?

Also, an exchange with you would be a real treat for me. I'd be honored.

The jack is looking good, weapon's coming along nicely. I'm no OSL pro, so I can't give much advice there, but it looks to me like you'll be good to go once you make sure all the edges of the light fade out smoothly. Still like that weathering!

EDIT:

...until one of us gets a god-complex, makes it into a religion and the place burns to the ground. It'll be tragic at the end, but up until then, we'll be in mini painting nirvana. WHo's in?

One of us? Ahahahaaa.

DOUBLE EDIT: Lemme see that chain!

 

[Scherdy]

Some more pics. Tried to smooth the weapon OSL and did some more on the golds. ALso, better pic. The feedback has helped SO much. Thanks guys

Sionid - Will find the chain for next pic. It's ok. It's no cloth folds making an already awesome model more awesome-er? .

 

[Scherdy]

I drink your milkshake. I drink it UP!

Mini made it onto a base. Although had a panic moment when I broke the drill bit off in the base and couldn't get it out. Had to do a little surgery to remove it but no harm, no foul.

Next plan is to get shield weathered to match the warjack as it was just attached and has been mostly ignored for a while.

Getting tunnel vision so let me know anything you see that needs some more attention.

 

[Canny]

Great chipped effect on shield. Look forward to seeing it shaded. Keep up the great work.

 

[BloodFather of Kharnath]

Are you going to take this to Lock N Load 2015? I'd love to go but I needa mini I can paint quickly that I find interesting. Wanted to do an SENMM warjack or some other thing from the P3 line that'd look good in SENMM. But idk if I could complete that in time. I'd be willing to paint something with some solid NMM surfaces. Any ideas? Prefer characters or single minis.

 

[BloodASmedium]

How bout the 28mm single from p3 the butcher? Think it's right up your alley.

 

[Scherdy]

I wasn't planning on going to Lock and load this year. I've been a few times and don't play the game. As far as ideas for minis, they've got a ton of stuff covered in metal to do yoru thing with NMM or SENMM. Just depends on if you want to do a warjack or other fun character. Khador bombadier bombshell maybe? Lots to pick from.

 

[Teronus]

Wow where where you hiding? BAM you never told me about Sherb? You hiding stuff from me huh LOLOLO

Really nice I almost felt from my chair! Again damn my jaw is on the floor Sherdy.

 

[Scherdy]

Hiding? Hah, BAM just paints so much and keeps updating his Wip thread it pushes all others off to the next page too fast so nobody sees them!! :curse!:

He should have to go to his own sub-forum.

 

[Teronus]

Ha, you'r welcome to check out old Tero's stuff I am kinda in my bubble right now myself but meeting new painter that I might get along with just reinforce me, I met epic true BAM and we became best buddies, Me and BAM have special relation, almost magic Nice meeting you Sherdy. So many awesome painters around crazy.

 

[Scherdy]

Wanted to finish. Didn't get there so still more to go. Shield needs a few final areas and base a little more. Maybe some brass oxidation/patina in spots.

Advice welcomed

 

[Scherdy]

End is in sight!

 

[Scherdy]

So this is where I'm stopping for now. I can't say thanks enough to all your talented and amazing people who helped me with advice and encouragement. I paint slow enough as it is, sometimes I think the only thing that was making me pick up the brushes was to hear such helpful and nice stuff from you all!

I think I"ll come back to this piece after I have a rest and a break if there's anything critique-wise you have, give me both barrels. I can take it!

Oh, and first time I've posted stuff with intention to be voted on - if you feel moved to do so

Beautiful work. Definitely high quality. Great rendition of scratches, wear, battle look is great, as I wrote. Great job for us ...

 

[Canny]

awesome work, great base! I agree some good battle damage. work on the contrast, going from black to white on your next mini each one will get better and better
