What have you painted/converted today

[Silver Wolf]

Finally did some painting.
This is still WIP, there's still a lot work left and I need to get some yellow paint to actually finish it.

A horrible work in progress shot of my Knights Panther.
Just to keep the thread alive.

A small update.

First of all... My finished BFSP night goblin boss:






Next, my converted (and still work in progress) night goblin warboss and boss:




And finally, some changes I made to my night goblin BSB:




Cheers people!

The pet squig is cute

[Silver Wolf]

My girlfriend said the same.
She persuaded me to paint the extra boss for her as a gift (which I was planning to sell before that).

I have another pet squig, from fanatic sprue. Mounted on a base and painted and placed in a unit of 50 night goblins to make them less monotonous.
I'll remember to take the picture next time.

I think a diorama of a squig pet shop would be amazing to make sometime

[Silver Wolf]

I can imagine it on a 60x40 base.

A base full of rocks, a tree and a cage or two in the back of the base.
Squigs jumping around, one squig hopper and two goblins running after them, completely unaware of the big squig behind them.

Classic orc humor.

Here's the second one, this time for my girlfriend:



I also fixed mine a bit, adding a few highlights. The matte varnish I used really soaked up some of the fine details, so I had to redo them.

Good squigglings, sir!

Here's what I've been up to:

I've always wanted one and now I have one:

It's a pterodactyl!

It's also a hot wire cutter. The design keeps the wire taut even when it expands due to heat. It also folds fairly flat for storage.
The power supply was the biggest hurdle but I managed to get a suitable amount of juice out of an ancient PC power supply that I had lying around.

So. Results. Yes.

Initial attempts:

It won't display the last two pictures

[Silver Wolf]

I've always wanted to do that. 

I love those rocks. They remind me of the golden age of Warhammer.
Back when The White Dwarf magazine used to be filled with hobby articles and cool battle reports.
I especially like them painted orange, along with a few hills and craters. Like some sort of Mars-like desert planet or fantasy badlands.

Huh, weird...
I can see them both.

[Jubal]

They've turned up now. Weird. IMGUR seems to be a bit erratic as an image host.

[Flamekebab]

I was just getting into it when things like that still existed in 1998. Fairly soon after that I feel like it died on its arse 

There's one piece of terrain that really stands out to me. I really want to create something similar. This:

(Album with more pictures)

I've got some estimates on the dimensions and now I have a foam cutter to make some sort of base. Maybe it'll finally happen?

It won't display the last two pictures

They should also be links to higher resolution versions of the pictures. They're thumbnails generated by Imgur as whatever version of SMF we're using doesn't handle that sort of thing automatically.

They've turned up now. Weird. IMGUR seems to be a bit erratic as an image host.

I suspect the issue is more with your connection than their servers. They were built to handle Reddit after all.

[Jubal]

It's not my connection - it's my experience of using Imgur. Their server speeds seem fine when images do turn up - it's not a bandwidth issue or anything - but they often seem to be unreliable in just getting the damn images to load, I've no idea why.

[Flamekebab]

On all machines or just your laptop? On all connections or just yours?

I ask because Imgur is the most stable image host I've ever used. The fact that so many wargamers still use the antiquated monstrosity that is Photobucket baffles me on a regular basis!
