SG's Summer and Fall WIP

[SGHawkins09]

Well, I finally got to a point on these where it would be worth it to post. These are my major projects that I will be working on for the next few months and all four are planned ReaperCon entries. Right now there is not much to see as they are just at the primer stage but the bases are built and also ready for paint. So from left to right we have the Dark Elf Assassin from Scale 75, Tarko from Scale 75's Fallen Frontiers line, Dark Sword's Wood Elf Warrior, and Reaper's own Crimson Herald.

 

Please excuse the blurry pics, I am cleaning my apartment and this was the best place to take pics.

Thanks! I will have further details later regarding the color schemes but as a little teaser, a couple may not be what you expect.

Wow cool stuff indeed!

Looking forward to seeing how these evolve!

Basing & prepping minis is a stage in the process that I LOVE doing...I do a white over black base coat that looks to be very similar to your approach. SO I love what you have done thus far with your treasure trove of ubercool minis. Enjoy the rest of the process!

Thanks guys! I am finally getting my painting mojo back and I am really looking forward to getting started on these.

Yeah, I love basing, prepping not so much. Usually I have the base planned before I even decide what to do with the mini but I did have difficultly with the Dark Sword Elf and the Crimson Herald this time. For the Elf, I did not want to do a typical foresty base for her mostly because I did not want to do a typical paint job on her. Once I figured out the paint scheme, the basing fell into place. For the Crimson Herald, I just had him and some skulls on the resin base which is a Town Square with steps base from Secret Weapon. While I liked the base, it seemed to be missing something but I was not sure what. I contemplated water effects but was not feeling it. One flash of inspiration later, I added the dirt and stumps and now it is perfect for me.

Been working on other things at the moment but I have done some time with Tarko. His skin is mostly done, just a few minor tweaks and I have gotten color down on his armor. He was a little camera shy and so the photo does not do him justice. I am really happy with the contrast which did not show up well in the photo.

Thanks! Same here, hopefully I can get them all finished in time.  Luckily I am off for a few days next week and will try to get a lot done during that time.

I'll be waiting. I mean it. Exactly in this position in front of my PC. Like Sgt. Murtaugh on his toilet. All week long. Challenge accepted :-D

I will try to not keep you waiting too long. I do know one of the days will be dedicated to building the bases for my Open entry and my two Diorama entries. I also have to put together a desk for my airbrush set up. So much to do and so little time.

Time waits for no-one.

Been slowly working on things. Tarko's skin and eyes are done and I have been working on the elf.

Skin and eyes look good on him and the elf is off to a great start!
