PurityThruFire Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 I've got two exchange minis to finish then it's back to work on Monique. Ironically my exchange mini has taken it's third dip in the paint stripper as well...oh well...third times a charm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helltown Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 One more dip for a mini and I'm gonna steal your stripper, PTF. And coming from me, she who buys Super Clean in gallon jugs, that's sayin' something. It couldn't have been that bad that it needed a bath. EDIT: In my defense, I use half a bottle to degrease the truck normally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwyn1st Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 OK, here we go! I'm dedicating this long weekend to clearing some Bench Queens, working on my exchange mini, and finally gettig going on Monique. So, roll call time. Who's in to get cracking on Monique?

PurityThruFire Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 I need to get my butt back into gear and get back to working on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helltown Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I still need to buy mine.... I'm in but it'll take a week or two or three... *sighs* too much stuff to get done in the hours I'm not at work including the critical trip to the UPS store to drop off two boxes that need to be shipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Okay, two things... First, my Monique DeNoir will be arriving on Tuesday and it'll take me a day or so to figure out assembly and all the prep work (I'm determined to do it myself for a change). Second, I chose my mini for Meg. This one. It has things I can paint well, and things that I can barely figure out the right colors for.. I'm determined not to chicken out and make her a dark elf. I ordered a spare mini of her today along with pinky people skin triads (okay, Rosy and Pale flesh triads). I'm going to hussle on my Reaper exchange mini and hopefully have that in the mail before I have to head to Ohio for about a week. Then when I get back, I'll have Monique and the mini for Meg to work on and finish. Sorry to threadjack PTF . . . Kate, when you send the mini to me, send a list of the recipes you used and what things you still struggle with. I'll give you a good critique on the mini. I want you to do the same. I want you to be really critical of what I send back to you. You won't hurt my feelings, we're friends I want you to tell me though if there is something in the Wagga that sucks, that you don't like, ask if you want to learn how I did things. I will send you a list of recipes too and the techniques that I used. This is one of the only ways to get better. On the next three minis I do for Reaper, I'm going to have to tell Anne to give me one of her "make me cry" critiques Again, it's the only way to get better. Ok now back to our regularly scheduled program . . . PTF"s Monique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwyn1st Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Well, I did get some bench queens cleared but I didn't get Monique primed. Forcast says there's 55% humididty at max today, so maybe I can get `er done... In response to Meg's treadjack, do you want the same with our exchange? I'm keeping my recipies in my Little Cat Book.

Still sorting out how to ship my mini to Meg... I don't want my pathetic base-fu to get worse in transit... I worked hard to get the moss to stick... Umm... I don't think there'll be any recipes coming with it. I sorta... kinda... didn't write 'em down, just went with the flow until it looked awesome. I don't think I can even list all the colors I used... Anne will know! Anne's a genius! Ask her when you show her my mini! I've only got GW and Reaper paints! Okay some Vallejo, but I'm pretty sure I only used Smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurityThruFire Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Alrighty, not trying to be a d**k but if you want to post Monique stuff that'll be fine but the rest of this stuff can handled in PM's as it is way, way, way far from the topic at hand. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helltown Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Sorry... So... you think monique would look okay with white hair and dark elf flesh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurityThruFire Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 So... you think monique would look okay with white hair and dark elf flesh? I think she would lend herself well to a dark elf theme. I tossed around the idea of doing white hair on mine, matter-of-fact I'm still up in the air as to what color her hair will be. I think she would make a pretty cool looking dark elf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helltown Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'm thinking Dark Elf with white-blue hair, and rich evergreen to emerald armor... her cloak would be a nice deep red... gold buckles, blackened silver sword... Dark an menacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Sorry PTF . . . didn't mean to thread jack! Anyway, your idea to turn her into a drow is kick butt! I think she will look totally awesome. And who says you can't have a Drow Vampire right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkblade Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 EDIT:Replaced picture after cleaning up forehead and breasts... First of all, you need to post more pics, I want to see progress! Secondly, the quoted EDIT sounds very very naughty...but then again, I may just be sick and demented. Regardless, I had a good laugh (in my own head). Looks awesome so far!

PurityThruFire Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Thanks Ark, this is a piece I've set aside for a little while. The thread is open to everyone who is working on a 54mm Monique. I will be doing her bit by bit while working on my largely unpainted Warmachine Protectorate force. On a side note I plan on using the materials I got in the basing kit to create a nice winter base for her, she comes with what look slike a tomb to stand on but I wanted to do something different. I'll get her done eventually, it's just slow going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
