Was able to add the final touches and I announce that I have finished the figure. Probably won't get it shipped out until next week but it is done.

How are the other projects coming along? Good luck to everyone!

Cheers,

-Mike

Mine is almost ready as well... Some highlighting is needed... But I don't want to show pictures as it will be profound as to who the receiver will be!

Can I do that? I promise I will post pictures of the mini as soon as I ship him!

*hops out of the scenery forum and sees this thread*
Oh yeah i'm in this huh? guess i better get to work, eh?

Just kidding. I've almost completed the converting. Whoever my recipient is of this model,
I hope you don't mind a nice base with some corpses on it.

I'm thinking about working on a small corner/diorama for the model to sit in. he/she's a beaut, and i hope you love conversion work.

I can't show you the model, because it'll definitely give away who it's for, so...i'll see you all end of June.

Basecoating is coming along a bit more slowly than I'd like, but it's going well. I only get 1-2 nights a week to paint, so the metallic basecoats will have to wait until next week, but by then I hope I've put on enough paint to make it photo-worthy.

Hey slorak, nice! The yellow armor makes a good contrast with the dark wall. Speaking of the wall, that came out particularly good. What paints/techniques did you use to get that finish?

Everything was primed white. I then took black ink and washed the walls. The base color was a watered down brown violet (vallejo model colors). I think I mixed in a bit of grey or bone for a second pass. I then took flesh ink and dabbed it around the bolts on the wall followed by an orange ink. I only let the ink sit for a bit before "pulling" with a sponge. This created a stipple kind of effect and left the bolt areas looking "rusty".

The metal piping was given a base of brass and then I applied vallejo verdigris to it.

Cheers,

-Mike

What I like most is that it looks like he is more interested in playing his gameboy (

) than the gaping leg wound.

Gaping leg wound??? He is tough as nails... It is just a scratch!

Damn, I am so dissapointed that I missed out on this, I didn't join up quick enough....sigh.

Maybe if you guys deem this to be a success you may start another one in the near future

Hey Dwayne, not to worry. I’m sure we’ll be going this again soon. I already have my next exchange picked out: a Librarian (on a bike?)!

Now back to the current project. Here’s a progress pic:
