Updates?

Hi all!

Yeah, I know that it's been a while now since I posted something. The worst part is that I don't have any excuses! But, I'm slowly working on five Southern Gears for my MILICIA demo army. I don't have any pictures yet but I'll try to get some ASAP.

Also, I'll soon start a display mini on a plinth which will be a "extra-detailed" Razor Fang Black Mamba (a Southern Gear variant). So stay tuned! More to come!

Cheers!

"31 days" contest - 1/200 Jovian Chronicles Pathfinder Garage Kit - Part 2

Now, I still need to remove flashes and mold lines but I could resist trying to pose the figure... which turns out to be a nightmare! >.< Even if I used lost of bluetac, the parts a too heavy for it. But I was able to quickly take those pics before it started falling apart!







The idea is that the pilot is shooting at a Syreen which is coming from above. I'm not sure I'll have the Pathfinder standing on some wreck or a pile of crates... I think it'll look better if the exo-armour is in a "floating" position, shooting and about to dodge incoming fire from the Syreen. One thing for sure, this baby will require some heavy pinning.

More to come!

PS: I've got some comments on the "John Travolta" pose and I'm actually thinking of calling the diorama "Staying Alive!" :)

"31 days" contest - 1/200 Jovian Chronicles Pathfinder Garage Kit

Hi!

I've joined a contest on the FichtenFoo Forum which consist of building, painting and basing a kit on 31 days... failing that, you end up on the Wall of Shame!

So, I've joined the contest after a week has passed and I plan to complete the 1/200 Pathfinder in 3 weeks! I'll show progress in this thread. So far, all I did was giving the pieces a Castrol Superclean bath! And now, that's what awaits me:



I also have the 1/200 Syreen that will be built later but I'm thinking of having both on display in some sort of diorama. I'm still thinking on how I'll do this but that's the plan. Each will have it's own base but both bases, when placed next to each other, will create the diorama. I'm thinking of having the Syreen coming through a hull breach to scan the ship wreck for any threats and will end up facing a pirate Pathfinder that was looking for abandoned precious goods.

So, if you'll excuse me, I have a pirate to build!

Cheers!

Welcome to Forge 78! This blog is dedicated mainly to my passion for miniatures and figures modelling, so you'll see all progress on any projects I'll be working on. As I'm soon going to start drawing lessons, this blog will also be used to show those drawings.
