Scarecrow's Tohaa

[Crushar]

Just freaking fantastic!!!

Everyone's talking about the minis. I'm loving the bases. They have a really realistic look to them with the combination of soil, rock, small shrubs and a little static grass and pools of water. Very nice work.

I'm loving the bases.

all your bases belong to us .... !!

well beat part is backpack

[Scarecrow]

Thanks again guys! Do you reckon the gun glow and the gem need to be a different colour? Im not quite feeling the yellow for some reason...

[kidterminal]

Looking great!

[Harlekin]

Great.
Now... where's the family pic?

[Scarecrow]

Not the best pic, but ill try and get something better in the future. I need to make a piece of terrain to get some good pics

[valthonis]

Fantastic!

[Harlekin]

Great.

[kidterminal]

They make a lovely family.

[Arachas]

Must be a joy to play with such beautifully painted minis!

[Scarecrow]

I havent actually had a game yet with them painted .

But thanks, im definately looking forward to it!

[Scarecrow]

Next mini up is a Gao Rael Sniper. He's ok, but i dunno... Seems like it could use something else, but i dont know what. Will have to do i guess.

[Maru]

Seems like it could use something else

yes better camera

[kidterminal]

Stripes on his hood?

[Scarecrow]

Got a bit of spare time today to finish off the second Gao Rael, this one with a Spitfire. Im happier with this one compared to the last one.

[Maru]

ok the "nissing thing" - bases they all look dark dull not intresting - meybe something to make them a par for a minis /?

[Scarecrow]

The bases are supposed to look dark, like a forest/jungle sort of thing. I did it that way to not distract people from the mini

[Scarecrow]

I had considered trying to add a little bit of colour to the bases using some sort of glowing light from
Like glow-sticks, some sort of funky moss, or perhaps lights the Tohaa brought along with them

[VisOne]

I wouldn't bother the bases look fine the look real and add depth to the model by offsetting the vibrant colors used on the miniatures themselves.

Ohh and are you going to add LOS markers?

[Scarecrow]

Yeah ill do LOS markers, just not sure what im going to do, as i much prefer a clean look on the base edge

[Scarecrow]

Heres a couple of WIP pics of my trial Chaksa. Only the skin on the legs at this point is finished.

[Maru]

loks promising

[kidterminal]

It sure does!

[Scarecrow]

Finished the Chaksa off... something isnt quite sitting well with me, with the paint job, but I have spent far too long on this model to really want to do much else...

[McNamara]

Its as good as all your other minis! Really clean and detailed!

What it might be missing, and why your not satisfied, might be contrast between the colors, the grey armor and the skin are a bit blend. The only thing that really pops, is the ammo belt, or better control cable (why they heck is it even needed on the GHRL? no wireless?), and thats the only thing that shouldn't IMHO.

Also the yellow details are great with the grey armor, but not so much with the skin.

[Scarecrow]

I could try changing all the orange details to the green details ive used on my past models instead?

[McNamara]

I think that could help, but don't take only my word for it, lets see what the pros have to say, or just try it out in photoshop, so not all the hard work is for nothing.

[kidterminal]

I'd say change the color of the ammunition belt only, the high concentration of orange is throwing it off.

Or just leave it off.
