I generally put figures on to either square or round bases for the additional stability and then blend the broccoli in with two part epoxy putty which gives me the working time to add matching texture. Flocking is usually Woodland Scenics stuff where appropriate. In the US you can pick up BIG jars from Hobby Lobby for a good price, especially if you use the 40% off coupon. On another note - did you say you're using a 5/0 brush for most of your painting and are looking at a 20/0?! Wow! Unless you're painting eyes on micro armor scale figs, you should look into getting some good quality larger brushes. Largest brush I use is a 2, and the smallest is a 2/0. The paint stays liquid on the brush longer so you get better flow, and ultimately better coverage. Your choice of course, I just thought I'd throw it out there. Michael

Finished the Barbarian after I got back from ReaperCon and finally got around to taking pictures of him and his buddies. :) Michael

Wow! That's pretty darned sweet man! Love the face. Michael

Can't really help you with the colors, but I gotta say I really like the idea with the wire and the leves swirling around it. Adds a real sense of motion to the figure. Loooking forward to seeing this when its done. Michael

Man! I used to have a squad of those guys (except for the Ogre)! Nice job on them. I particularly like the grunge on the commanders coat. :) Michael

You're having WAY too much fun with these! Keep up the good work. :) Michael

Looking good so far. I'll definately be keeping an eye on this one! Michael

Yup, had something similar to me as well. I think I turned in probably 400 or so. I know I had about 2,000 ReaperBucks when I turned them. I can't recall the exchange ratio. RM 1 Swag point = 10 Reaper Bucks

Maybe that needs to be a class for next ReaperCon/ArtistCon! :)

That's positively bad@ss! :) I've always like the monochrome look when well executed, and this is great!

"Give my daughter back her gun!" Overheard Sunday shortly before the auction started. :) Michael

Just wanted to say that it's really cool seeing both of my entries in your photos. These are actually the first pics I've seen of my stuff...haven't even taken any myself yet. It was an awesome competition. Thanks for sharing. Stephanie Sasaki My pleasure! Which two are yours?

Here's a link to my sets: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mckenna35/collections/72157626800295242/ Feel free to leave comments. Michael I'm not Evil. I just laugh that way.

Well, I survived my 1st ReaperCon and actually made it home in one piece. Be doing better at work today if the plane hadn't been running 2.5 hours late!! Ah well. That's the price we pay to play fun games, learn lots o' new painting stuff, and meet plenty of cool people. Had a blast - thanks Reaper (and all the volunteers who help make the Con what it is)!! Michael

"And I may have got my hands on the find of all finds at the adoption table---an intact, beautifully painted TOS Starship Enterprise. Haldir can verify my find." I can as well! I saw it when it was on the table. Lots of cool stuff ebbed and flowed over the surface of that table! :)

Wow! How in heck did you do the patterning on that?! Nice! Michael

Nice work! FWIW, I'm pretty sure the 2nd figure is an old GW TZeentch Sorcerer ( as in 90's vintage old). Michael
