So I was supper excited to get these in the mail the other day.
I have always been a bit of a tool junkie -- if you have followed me for a while you may remember that I have built paint racks, have rearranged my work-space several times, made my own miniature holders and tons of other miniature related fiddling. When I saw these at ReaperCon last year, I have been wanting to try them out but never really found a chance to pick one out. I saw Jay Adan 3D print one and seemed to like using it. Seeing it in practice peaked my interest even more. Just as I was about to make one, I saw this KickStarter from Rathcore and jumped all in.
I've been using them for about a week now, and I have to say that I really like them. The bar doubles as a stabilizer for your hand as well as on for your brush when you are doing fine detail. They also make handling a miniature upside down while getting into the hard to reach areas a snap. Or more of a snap. There is really no good way to reach the hard to reach areas on a miniature in a snap, unless its a break with reality but that is a different sort of snap.
True to Jefferism philosophy (Read that as obsession), I now have it my head that I can make my own version of them using cork stoppers, brass wire, and wooden spools. Why? You ask. Simple. I can't leave well enough alone. I know that Rathcore makes the best holders around but somehow I feel that I will be more connected to the hobby if I make my own version. Sort of like the idea that a Jedi must forge his own light saber before he becomes a Jedi. If I am successful I will post some pictures of them.
Here we go again
Anyone tired of seeing the purple dragon yet? Does that sound like some drink that you will travel the wastelands before taking? Like the spice in Dune? "Gorick and Ted traveled for 40 days to have a tall glass of the Purple Dragon. It is said that he who can finish the cup and spill no drops will see the Purple Dragon and be granted an audience. If she takes favor on you, you will be given a boom" Okay, so I have digressed a bit there. I will show you the purple dragon last so you can see..... The Undead Minotaur!
This guy is one of the bad guys from Zombicide Black Plague -- and as a friend says "really no fun to fight". Still I love this sculpt and I have mixed emotions seeing it on the game board. The first is "that is a cool mini" which is followed quickly by "Well shi#$#@... We are dead"
Next here is purple dragon. Drink deep the gathering gloom.....
Still work to do blah blah blah....
More Dragon Work here....
More work on the purple dragon completed this weekend. I like the white claws on the wingtips and horns. Just about getting ready to give the spines on the back the orange treatment. Part of me thinks it will be too much (AKA suck) and part of me things it will be very cool so I have decided to try it with the idea that I can redo them white if I hate it.
I about ready to start working on the face, primarily the eyes, since I'm starting to settle into the details now. I want to draw attention to the face in order to increase the drama. As for basing this bad boy, I would love to perch him on the head of a statue if I can find one that works, adding in some broken weapons, gold, treasure chests, and come corpses. Of course, I am keeping my options open at this point because inspiration may strike and I want to be ready.
More Purple Dragon--plus tank rust
Are you tired of seeing the Purple dragon pictures? (BTW Purple Dragon Pictures is my Imagine Dragons cover band) No? Yes? Well, here they come. I've been working on the wings and claws, but I have been agonizing over the spikes on the back for a while. I don't think I like the orange spikes but I'm not really sure either. Going ivory like the claws would be a pretty safe choice but who gets anywhere by taking the safe choice? Okay, so lots of people... But who breaks new ground by being safe? Lots of people you say? Well, they have to work at it for a long time before they get a breakthrough... Your right I have no idea what I'm talking about. That being said enjoy the picture of Jimi. Next time expect to see him/her with orange spikes just to see what it looks like. I can always repaint.
lastly, there is the tank. I would like to see this in some sort of post-apocalypse game where it is really weather beaten and rusty but I think I underdid it on the rust. I was following along on the Miniature Monthy (subscribe now -- best 5 bucks you have ever spent) site and I like the way the rust came out -- I just wanted more of it. I wasn't aggressive enough with the mold builder. Oh well, I could always redo it but I think I will keep going with it.
