Prisoner Exchange - WiP Photos!

I think you are being too hard on yourself.
It is a nice clean conversion. It look's like a scout and that's perfect. When you look at conversions in general, they often have way too many little details that you don't really notice at first glance. Your model is simple and clean, and most importantly you have practised your GS skills which is exactly what the P.E.V. is all about. Learning and improving your skills. And as a little bonus there's a secret gift included

I love it! I want it!

Thanks guys! you are too kind...
Tomorrow I'll prime it and Phase III will begin.

All I'm worried is about Phase IV - Sending him away.
As a side note, we need a better cry emoticon.

Almost finished my prisoner (just a few highlights to go and then the biography/certificate I intend to create for him).

Holy cow! This is great and the base is fantastic.

Librarian: That is a GREAT model! I agree with mudboy... you ARE capturing the spirit of the Prisoner Exchange... you are using the opportunity to try new things, be bold and aim high. You GS looks good (you may try to file file of it, so it is smooth, but is not a big deal) and your basing really captures the model. I'm sure someone would be proud to have your model... as they will know that you broke out of your shell and made something for him that you never though possible. WOW! That is better than getting a model from DeafNala... and you know how much I think about his work!

02laney: I want to vomit... I'm sick to my stomach. LANEY!!! That is awesome... another model I want for myself. I wonder if it is to late to send you a PM that you are supposed to send ME your model? HA! Someone will be VERY happy... your work is magnificent! I will take the pictures and study them carefully... there are couple of details that intrigue me...

awesome!!!

Time for my update... still NOT done... so much stuff! So far I'm REALLY happy with my Prisoner (wanting to keep him is a good sign!) and the model has lots of firsts for me. PLEASE... constructive criticisms are MORE than welcomed! I want do my very best, and you guys are a great source of inspiration!

I took the pics with my cell, in a hurry...


I plan to work hard and finish this guy... I have only 5 days left!

I love the Amparor - this is something I would never have thought of to do - great job!

The shells in the back look good - If you want to tone down the verdigris - a light drybrush of the bronze colour you used should relegate the weathering to the recesses.

Cheers Laney

Thanks Boss... aiming to please! I will work with the patina!THABK

Looking AWESOME as usual Mord!
Love the wood effect! How did you do it?

Oh SHI...! Got to post it by the 15th, right?
God dammit! got to work faster!

This is a fantastic and unique piece. I have been hearing about his idea for almost 2 years and glad to see it finally put into practice.

Librarian: The wood was done by:
- Painting wood Bestial Brown.
- Drybrush Dwarf Flesh.
- Drybrush Human Flesh.
- Wash Brown.
- LIGHT Drybrush Dwarf Flesh.
- LIGHT Drybrush Human Flesh.
- LIGHT Drybrush Bone White.

It turned out to be a darker brown, but to me it was the right tone to represent weathering. I need to fix the wash on the Aquilas... maybe some light watered-down Brown wash, to minimize the patena (verdegris).

Da Bank: Wow... you are right! Holy Cow... now I want to keep this! I wonder if I could paint a quick Ork.

DISASTER STRUCK!

My primer bottle clogged and I ended up with a over-primed head (lost most of it's features). When trying to remove the excess paint, only got worst! Now I have partially painted model with no head.

Got to replace it... DAMN!

ouch! You can do it!

@ Mordheimer, it really looks great.

@ Librarian, I found that a product called Super Clean works wonders for getting paint and primer off of my models. I just let it sit in the liquid for a day or so and then use a tooth brush to scrub away all the paint. I was amazed the first time I tried it. Don't know how available it would be in Brazil but I find it in the automotive department in Walmart.

Super Clean, huh?
I'll take a look in my local Walmart.

But even if I don't find it, that's ok. I'll use another head and give the faceless one as a trophy for one of my nobs!

Simple Green man best to remove with

We have a thread about Simple Green!

We don't have simple green here... *sigh*
We don't have ANYTHING nice here *double sigh*

WOW! Looking at everyone's excellent work has gotten me really psyched! I want mine to be a surprise, but I can't help it, so I'll post just a little teaser of my prisoner (it's an old WIP shot, I'll leave painted shots of the whole thing to the recipient once it's in their hands).

Can't wait to see which unlucky denizen of the 40Kverse ends up in my grubby little hands!

Head Shot! CRITICAL HIT!!! HAHAH!

Amazing, some very cool stuff, I'll have to steal Librarians basing idea fantastic!
Just curious how will people be packaging their minis?
I don't want the person I'm sending to to receive a pile of parts!

wrapped in bubble wrap and with packing penuts inside in the areas where things are weak or easily broken. then surrounded by more peanuts.

EXACTLY the same as Dysturbed... on a sturdy box.
