Thread: Precinct Omega's Random Thread of Randomness

    Precinct Omega's Random Thread of Randomness

    I've been posting single models in individual threads but, as I'm now powering out a new model at least every day which bears absolutely no relation to any of my regular projects - and, hence, they don't qualify for a Project Log - I thought I'd start just one more thread and dump all of the photos here.

    To start us off, here's a Dwarf Miner.


    I've got two more of these guys to paint. These are the old, metal Marauder sculpts and, by heaven, they're good! I've never been a fan of dwarfs, but these guys have nearly converted me. They're brilliant sculpts both in terms of being fun, characterful models and in terms of being easy to paint and handle. I wish there were more models like this. They've almost persuaded me to try making a dwarf army but fortunately I've got too much on my plate already.

    Slightly less random than was strictly intended, here's another Dwarf Miner.


    I've got one more of these to do. But when my new can of Chaos Black spray arrives, I've got something a bit more random (and, IMO, pretty cool) to show you.

    Watch this space.

    Re: Precinct Omega's Random Thread of Randomness

    I promised something random, and here it is:



    My steampunk modified Nerf Maverick-6.

    I bought two of these on eBay and this is my first attempt. This is WIP. The purple bits will go red, the "wood" effect on the handle will be tarted up a bit, all the fake screw heads will get brassed-up and the whole thing needs a coat of varnish, but I was pleased enough to take a photo.

    I'll be eBaying this one when I've finished. If I can cover the cost of the two I bought then I'll keep the other one, I think. I can't wait to start shooting my opponents at the next Inquisitor gathering at Warhammer World...

    Haha Nerf guns are ridiculously fun. Nice paintjob on it. Will the varnish be enough to stop the paint chipping around the moving parts (particularly the cocking mechanism on the top)?

    Re: Precinct Omega's Random Thread of Randomness

    Oh, yeah. It's not finished yet. I'll be giving the whole thing at least two coats of varnish before I sell it. And I'm toying with the idea of painting the slide the same colour as the details on the pistol grip (i.e. Blood Red, rather than Purple, which is the base coat).

    More randomness to come!

    precinctomega,

    Afraid that it still is a porject log, just a general one. Thread moved.

    Sorry, but then everyone will start creating new threads in M,P&T General.

    No worries. I didn't really think anything here counted as a "project" - it's just me painting whatever my hand falls on. But if this is where it belongs, then this is where it can stay.

    Re: Precinct Omega's Random Thread of Randomness

    I love this log already! Randomness is great.
    Love the nerf-gun, love the nerf-gun advertisement, and the painting I'm seeing is excellent.

    More randomness!

    Re: Precinct Omega's Random Thread of Randomness

    Bluewolf is probably reminded of the Soul Drinkers because - as someone helpfully pointed out on CMON - the model looks a bit purple.

    He isn't. But I took the picture in bad light and tweaked the red levels. Being a bit colour blind, I didn't notice the purpleness. But, wanting to make it clear that I'm not lying, I went outside this morning and took a better picture in good light:



    See? Blue, just like he should be.

    The rune on the helmet is very nicely executed. It's hard to get sharp edges like that. Well done.

    Re: Precinct Omega's Random Thread of Randomness

    Got the consistency of the black paint just right. Doesn't happen often. I didn't even need to tidy up the corners, which is practically unheard of.
