Snitchies Terrain Emporium Update 24 Dec

[snitchythedog 1923]

Sorry folks.  Spent yesterday working.  We have some travellers that are encamped just outside of where my daughter has her horse and we had to get ready for this storm.  Had to move anything not nailed down from the horse and lock down all of the stuff in the garden. 

 

The base is the new primus 32mm size.  I picked the figure since the scale is relatively common even for folks who do not play.

I like what is coming together on the Alpha. You got me thinking though, we need a Scifi figure from Reaper like Sir Forscale. Do you think one of the IMEF troopers would work?

 

I am sure one would work.  Problem is availability.  Once out of the US your shopping options for reaper minis drops to almost nil.

How tall is Captain Obvious?

Both including the base and excluding the base?

In millimeters if you can, please?

I don't own any Primaris Marines (I think he's a Primaris) so I don't really know how big he is.

Thanks!!!

I did not include these in the first post. 

Hope that helps.

Base coat and masking done.  It will need touch ups and some bits painting.

Did you use the clips, magnets or just glue the sections together?

It is a clip system since the interior and exterior has many options that can be used.  In this case I will be using the clips and gluing them in place.  The modular aspect is nice but I am not sure how the paint job will survive.  Of you google 2nd dynasty starship 3 Kickstarter all of the options are shown.

Oh yeah, I have both Starship 3 and 4 KS. That is why I am so interested. Can't wait to see how the Hammerhead Beta will turn out.

It is an interesting design and I have been looking at the Beta design.  My only complaint about most of his stuff is that everything is a dead end.  Most ship designs have only one entrance or exit.  Limits play.   There are some options to add other doors/hatches but not that many. 

 

Quick update. 

The bottom half is pretty much done.  Still some small touch ups but pretty much done on the basic paint.

This was going to be posted tomorrow but I managed the time to spray and paint today.  Top base coat and masking done. 

That is a car hair.

I have been working on the interior.  Decided to go outside of my normal colour pallet.  These are not finished pieces so touch ups and other weathering is on the way. 

I also took a photo of the design on one of the tails.

Finished the interior and exterior paint and decals.  Next step is chipping the paint, oils and powders.  I also have to sand the canopy again with the 2500 grit and paint with Pledge Multi Surface Polish.  For the folks in the States think the old scale modellers trick using Future Floor Polish to make plastics and resin clear again after sanding.

Very cool!

I like it so far!

[snitchythedog 1923]

Pretty much done.  Off to the photos.

I will add some better scale pictures next time it is on the game table.  More photos on my blog.  Did not want to blow up the Reaper server.

Turned out really nice!

The weathering is great!

Part way through a temple for Frostgrave so this is still very WIP.  The whole thing is foamex with dowel pillars trimmed with solder details.  I also used the Green Stiff World skull plates. 

The white basin will be painted another colour prior to adding resin.

With this one I tried the new Green Stuff World elvish and dwarfish ruins.  

They are tiny so take a bit of work to apply. 

Once in place I am pretty happy with the results.  

More images on my blog if you are interested.

I have pre made enough pillars and still have enough skull plate and ruins to build another identical temple.
