Bones 6 Enthusiasm and Commentary


Chaoswolf

Recommended Posts

I got a $250 bonus from work for bringing a major project to its conclusion, so I spent 20% of it on some more bones 6! Ants, stirges, bugbears and the fish people temple all fell into my cart....

Also a possibility of making the bases a separate stl file for download after the Kickstarterr is over.

 

Happy to see the size increase on the light house. Also, never realized that the 'keeper was undead.

Yeah, I noticed that too.  It was nice to see a list of materials that will be used, but I'm waiting until the asterisk is gone and it's a full commit. Hakir being mentioned as Bones Black is a nice touch.

Has it always been stated the fairy dragon in Briarwood would be made in trans plastic? I just found out today that it is & it's kinda of a downer for me. It's almost enough of a I may want my cash back as credit so I can finish out what I want. I'm not a huge fan of the trans plastics & for something as large as that one. I'm sure if I'd want it in trans plastic.

I have no idea if they intend to make the fairy dragon in transparent Bones.  I know a lot of people have had good results with transparent minis, but I haven't painted any yet.  Is it a problem with capturing detail you don't like or something else?

Well someone on Discord said the dragon was going to be done up in trans, so I'm not 100% sure if it will be, but I've only have followed the KS through the updates this time around. I don't do Twitch stuff.

 

I've never been a fan of transparent miniatures. It's a nice effect, but give me a solid miniature, especially for a dragon sized mini. I didn't mind the gem dragon or whatever that one called from B5, but tbh, I think I'd rather have had it in a solid plastic as well. Now, it might just be the plastic they use, but when I painted up a Wizkids water elemental, I didn't mind the plastic, but when I tried to paint a gelatinous cube from Reaper, I didn't care for it.

 

Also for me trans plastic doesn't prime up when you compare it to a solid plastic mini.

@haldirI'm not a fan of the clear plastic either.  Makes cleaning off the flash or extra bits really tough. You can't make out the detail as well until you prime it, which kind of takes the reason away from using clear anyway.  Unless you want it as is, if it's going to be painted, the clear has no value for me.  

 

To be fair, I've seen some pretty amazing stuff people did by using a matte varnish over it to get paint to stick, and then they did inks as the color to not totally take away the clear effect. So, it could be great for those who do that. 

 

I'd assume more will paint over the clear than not. My two cents.

House of Kolor or in this case Black Gold makes a clear primer called Adherto. I think it's for lexan or poly-carbonate RC car bodies. I had a  can back when I was going to try & build a RC car size nascar model.

If I remember correctly the wings will be transparent and the body solid. Which would make sense for what it is, visually at least. If it’s 100% transparent that’d be a bit weird, look like a ghost dragon more than a fairy dragon.

That's what I remember hearing too.  I can't remember for sure when they said that.

 

EDIT: I found it.  It's in the update linked below, in the comments section.  Here is the exchange, confirming transparent wings:

  • Christopher ColeSuperbacker3 months ago: I hope Shimmerscale has transparent wings. Not sure how slicing is on that model but would assume the wings are added in slots like most dragons and such.
  • ReaperRonCollaborator3 months ago: It will. This is a 3-D print, so it's wings are opaque like the rest of the print.
