I have been told my voice is rather good. It's yours to use for projects if I can help in some way.
I do not have any real professional experience so at least for now we'll go with a rate of free.

If you would like me to record a sample feel free to reply or send me a private message with the script. I can also be emailed at my username @gmail.com

Arts, Crafts, Music & Drama - The Artisans' Guilds / Re: SotK and Lady Grey's Homemade Wedding

« on: March 22, 2016, 09:02:44 PM »

Favours are little gifts/souvenirs for the guests that attend the wedding breakfast. Ours were the homemade jam, and a bookmark with a quote from a book relevant to the table name (so, people sitting on 'The Shire', for example, have LotR and Hobbit quotes on theirs). I think I managed to make every quote unique as well (I hand wrote all the place name cards and bookmarks)

Ah. So like party bags but for grown-ups?

We were really inspired by the episode in which they made corsets. When we have a bit more space I reckon we'll have to make that happen.


At the moment we're pretty much restricted to breaking out the sewing machine to fix small issues with jeans!

What are the favours? (Come to that, what is a "favour" in this context..? It sounds eyebrow waggly)
Homemade jam is always welcome. NOM!


I imagine myself and the missus will have to do a lot of this sort of thing when it comes to our own wedding. A few years until that happens, admittedly, but this sort of thing seems right up her street.

Tabletop Games - The Game Room / Re: What have you painted/converted today

« on: March 22, 2016, 01:49:52 AM »

Screw it, I'm leaving that broken reply there as proof that there's something seriously screwy with the WYSIWYG interface. It randomly converts text to a different font and sets the size to that miniscule nonsense. It also adds erroneous linebreaks. Something to do with how it processes embedded images..?

MOAR HATS!

Wow!


I totally agree with you on school. I wish I'd received some formal instruction on the principles. The missus and I binge-watched The Great British Sewing Bee though. Does that count?

It's rather odd, isn't it? Grubby traffic cones and bin bags seem to be rare creatures after the apocalypse but should you want to throw together a barbecue you're set!

Fox Box / Fox Box Basic Orc Legs

« on: March 19, 2016, 10:58:12 PM »

These aren't as fancy as ones made by other companies. Perhaps in time I'll be able to sculpt things as good as their work but in the meantime there's other things that improve a lot more quickly. These are designed to be simple and cheap. Useful if you've got models that are normally drivers or gunners and need something for them to be attached to when they leave their vehicles.

Yep, that's all the natter you're getting on these.

Fox Box / Fox Box Orc Shotguns

« on: March 19, 2016, 10:42:46 PM »

For me personally there's three eras of casting in my personal history. The first was messing about with single-sided moulds with my father about fifteen years ago. The results were basically useless but it was fun doing something with my dad.

The second was when I first got back into wargaming around 2009 or so. I needed some shotguns for some greenskins and the old plastic ones were the wrong scale:


The mould makes no sense and the results were pretty worthless, frankly. Instead I got in touch with Ramshackle Games and they started casting them along with some other designs I put together. I received copies of both the basic shotguns and the finished versions that Curtis had detailed and added arms to.

These days casting is no problem whatsoever but I'm doing my best to improve my abilities with muscles so I had a go at sculpting arms of my own for the shotguns (working from my originals, so I had to add my own detailing). I'm relatively pleased with the results and figure they might be useful for other people too.

Fox Box / Fox Box Barrels (sculpted by Craig "Kiblams" Dolan)

« on: March 19, 2016, 10:25:51 PM »

As a kid into wargaming I loved miniature barrels. They were great as scatter terrain, accessories, and as ways of making other bits of terrain look good. The problem was that they could only be had as a set with other things. There was always that scarcity. There's only so many tank traps a tabletop needs but barrels? Barrels are the best!

The only problem with buying barrels intended for things like scale models was the fact that they were precisely that - scale models. 28mm "Heroic" isn't a scale - it's an art style. Shorter legs, bigger heads, weapons, and hands. Then there's the fact that everyone is on a base a few millimetres thick. Our eyes don't care that the barrels would look ridiculously large if they were on the same base.

What I'm getting at is that Craig has put together these great barrels that fit nicely with Orcs as well as Orks.

They're now on the site:

I loathe icing on kanelbullar.
