Progress on the Village Ogre

Evening fella's,

I've got some news about the Halfling auction. I haven't received a reply of the guy yet. So I send him another email. In this email I showed him the consequences, if he still doesn't reply without x days, I'll report him to eBay. I'm not so worried about the money. Thanks to PayPal I get get my money back in no time. It's more a matter of principle, and the fact I want those models so badly!

Ok, onto the model like update! I already made a start on the Village Ogre a while back. Today I sculpted his shirt. The idea was that he looked more Imperialised, and part of the Halfling community. The shield I'm using as a gut plate will get some detail on it. This was once again an idea from Chris (Deserter), the idea was to sculpt (or freehand) a Fork and Knife crossing each other. But that is something for later!

Oh yeh, the pictures!



Before someone asks, the stuff I used to sculpt the shirt is called "Apoxy Sculpt". It's a cheap version of Green Stuff but very difficult to handle. Like the fact it doesn't like water! Usually when sculpting with Greenstuff you use water or spit ( :silent: ). Apoxy Sculpt on the other hand will get muddy when using water, the medium to smooth it out are Oil of Vaseline. The good side on this is that it can handle a lot of detail, and that is it a lot softer than Greenstuff. It'll also require washing your hands afterwards...

Cheers!

More Halflings, including the Halfling Elder.

Hi guys!

Ok, new recruitments! I also won these on an auction on eBay. Great models!



And some close-up's from the Halfling Elder.



Also, yesterday night I discovered something. Two weeks ago, I won an auction of 11x C11 Halflings. With the help of Chris (Deserter), thanks again mate!
Although, I payed him within a couple of hours. Here's a link to the auction. But yesterday evening I discovered that he is doing the same auction again! While I already payed for it! The link is here. Is this just an amazing coincidence? I emailed the guy, I really feel robbed by him. I sent the mail yesterday eve, and still haven't got a reply...

I hope he'll reply soon..


Cheers!

First post, first update!

Hi guys,

Welcome to my Blog, this will be my personal blog where I post up all the stuff I create..

There are a couple of things I'm working on lately;
  • Mordheim - Halfling warband
  • Aeronautica Imperialis - Chaos fleet
  • Warhammer - Beasts of Nurgle army
  • Warhammer 40K - Chaos Renegade Militia
That sure is a lot.. the Chaos Militia are currently on hold, as I have to finish my Mordheim warband before the Ammbunker Open Bash!
After that, I'll be focussed on the Renegades again. :]

Okay, onto the Mordheim side of life. Got 3 parcels in yesterday, one containing two Halfling Hired Swords I won in an auction on eBay. The second contained some of the Halfling Lupin Crooks Chris sent to me, thanks mate!
And the third contained 3 sheets of cobblestone textured plasticard I bought on eBay!

I'm still waiting on 2 parcels from the UK, hopefully they'll turn up next week!

Here's the progress I made yesterday night and today. I cleaned 4 of the halflings and placed them on the cobblestone bases I made. In the mean while they're already undercoated and being painted!




Cheers!
