What I do when I'm not working or sleeping - by Firah

[Firah]

I thought I'd have a go at making a project log covering the myriad of games I am currently painting / plan to be picking up.

To start here's a picture of what's currently on the bench



From left to right; Dreadfleet, new arrival Puppet wars, some Soda Pop minis and a few vampire counts models

[Firah]

Aha here it is, New threads take a while to appear .

Started Work on my puppets:

The delightful Lady Justice


I am not entirely happy how Misaki turned out, she might get stripped and redone.


December Acolyte waiting for his base




One problem with this game is that the counters for workbenches and terrain are quite lacklustre so I had a go at making some more interesting ones.

Not sure what would look good as Impassible terrain yet.


And ships, the only one that is 100% finished at the moment is the Swordfysh, most of the rest still need finishing touches / bases painted

Funny thread title, nice start!
I think those puppet thing are the most disturbing models ever to come out of miniature wargaming. And you did the Dreadfleet boat justice! Keep up.

[Jormi_Boced]

Like the benches. How did you make them? I was thinking of doing impassable terrain with like barrels and sacks and chairs and things.

Try sleeping in the same room as them D:.

They are just balsa wood super-glued together, the little clamp is made from Plasticard. Probably beyond my modelling skill but I was going to try making impassible terrain as little boxes etc. but made to look like mountains or forests.

Ships, and ship's accessories:

The Black Kracken.



Getting the wind gauge on this one is more then a tactical concern.



The Shadewraith is definitely my favourite of the bunch.



Islands:


I also finished the castle island but then managed to get the varnish and primer cans from army painter mixed up so...


And a puppet, name of Seamus


lighting on this picture is abysmal, I may post another later.

Tut tut, now that's quite cheeky

Nice painting on the dreadfleet ship!

[Firah]

Had a pleasant Friday off work to paint some more puppets, over halfway done with the base set now.




The race is now on to finish puppets and Dreadfleet before Super Dungeon Explore arrives!

[Firah]

Its Here!



And its a rather daunting amount of models to paint hora.y...

first model done: the Sorceress.



also some more puppets got painted.

the rest of the starter set:



and the multi-player pack, and the 1st pawns pack.

[juicytomatoes]

looking cute and colorful.

[Daniel36]

Ooh nice colours on the sorceress. Feels like Suikoden 5. I like!! I am feeling a Tale of Dungeon Explorers coming up...

[EmperorNorton]

Wow, you're fast.
Hopefully I can get some inspiration from your SDE.

[Daniel36]

SDE... You make it sound so dirty.
Now I want a set! I kinda like the minis... Kinda really do...

[Firah]

Work continues on the three board games...

Super Dungeon Explore. The Druid and some dragons.



Dreadfleet. the Seadrake and the Curse of Zalandri



And some more puppets.

[leonmallett]

An eclectic thread - good stuff around. I especially like the ships and the puppets/toys (Puppets War?).

[Daniel36]

Where'd that guy come from? Is the Druid part of the starter set? Never seen him before. Nice paintjob!

[Firah]

I meant to update this a bit more often then I am D:

had a bad case of "can't be arsed to paint bases-itis" lately but here is what i have been working on:

[Tzarinchilla]

Your super dungeon explore minatures are really great. Nice amount of shading and highlighting, just enough so that it doesnt detract from the anime/comic style of the figures.

[basher]

i love your super dungeon explorer stuff and puppet wars

[Jormi_Boced]

Nice work on the Super Dungeon Explore!

[HereBeDragons]

That super dungeon explore game looks ace. Just a shame I dont have the money spare to buy it! How is it to play?
