Spring '15 Entries [Data-Sphere Painting Campaign]

[Hortensie]

I'll take it that's your final entry photo?
Looks very nice. Quite the conversion you've done there.

Yes its final photo. In case of changes i will update this thread. Thanks all for nice words;) time to start new project..

[Splod]

With the better half away, I'm going to get started on my Imetron and Ikadron for my EI army. They count for the grunt challenge, right?

[surprize]

I'm getting there with my Morats, sorry haven't posted more WIPs.
Hacker is leading the way he just needs a bit of finishing and his base doing, will likely be the entry, but I am quite keen on how the HMG is shaping up....

(Sorry for the late response) YES! Those will both be acceptable entries.

@Surprize

That model seems to be coming along quite well. I think the gun comes out as the best so far. I'm not too big a fan, personally of the purple effects on there, but the face is rather nice!

[Lampyridae]

I've assembled my Fusiliers but I've had trouble getting the pics uploaded.

[Lampyridae]

There we go...

I'm not sure how much I'll get done since we're in the middle of moving house, but it's a good excuse to get some painting done in between the packing!

[Claudius Sol]

Looks good, Lampy! Best of luck! Time is running out fast! Though, you only need 1 model to be finished to enter, so I'd focus one at a time.

[Mistake Not]

11 days to go though. I still haven't started either, have been spending all of my painting time on Vipers..

[Mistake Not]

Gorgeous new Alguacil with two friends who do also need more work. Most of my Nomads do though.

[Claudius Sol]

Consider yourself entered, Mistake Not.

Due to the paint on the other two, though, I'll only be accepting the Icestorm/Starter alguacile.

[LeoPelo]

Here are my three options:
Celestial Hacker (new)
Zhanshi Hacker (got used, to repaint)
Guilang Sniper (got used, to repaint).

With timestamp.

I have to choose one.

Here is my finished Clesestial Hacker:


Sorry I've not made wip photos

[splayedpaintbrush]

Finally got some time to get a Fusilier to the point where I can paint him. So here's my entry pic:


And I had better get my finger out painting it too. Less than a week now, right?
Although I found some awesome inspirational on these boards, namely in Maxvon_d's thread.

[julipet]

Another wip.

Hope to finish until the final date

[Errhile]

Damn, I just realized that I cannot enter the campaign: I have no "order monkeys" in my unpainted lead heap (well, pretty much shrunk to a small stack, but still...).

So let's make it my offical unoffical entry with the next best thing - two Daylami and a Muyi... - hold on, let me readjust my holoprojector - three Daylami!

Congratulations, Errhile. Those Muyib (Why would something think Yasbir?) count as grunts and thus:

Entry noted :3

Finished them today in the morning, just before leaving for work. I hope I'll be able to take pics today, too.
(and managed to rebase a Kameel to a 55mm base in the meantime, yay ).
Though I'm out of Grunts. Can't make an entry next month.

[Claudius Sol]

Here is my finished Clesestial Hacker:

That's alright about the WIPs. Next time? ;D

Submission noted! This is gonna be one helluva time compiling all these into a voting post. Keep it coming, guys!

You've got through Saturday! FIGHTO! Great that you've found inspiration! That's usually the hardest part.

Keep it coming! I believe in you.

No worries about next season (not exactly next month as it starts in April) as the theme will not be "Grunts". It'll be something else that I am not allowed to disclose at this time. I'll let everyone know the theme when I post the voting post for this season.

[Errhile]

OK, time for the promised pictures:

The Tres Amigos:


Individual models will be hidden under Spoilers, maybe this way i'll keep the post easier on your transfer...

Daylami Panzerfaust

Daylami Rifle

Husam Yasbir

...damn, seems I took not enough light for these

[splayedpaintbrush]

OK here's a WIP image. Trying to paint this quick as i don't have much spare time.

This was the results of Saturday's efforts, going from the earlier bare metal pic.

(dodgy phone pic sorry)

Sunday saw a little more progress done, but not a huge amount, also no pic yet. I'll try and remember to take a pic before painting tonight if i get chance after the little one has gone to bed.

[Claudius Sol]

Errhile:

Thanks for the full 360 on those models! Gives a good look at every bit!
Yeah, if you could take another set with brighter lights (or adjust the settings on your camera to account for this), that would be great and give your entry much more oompf.

Submission noted!

splayedpaintbrush:

Very nice camouflage pattern! The skin tone looks pretty convincing there, too. Did you add a feather or something to the beret? If so, looks mighty convincing.

Having just painted that model last week, I can say that is quite impressive so far!

[Errhile]

I'll try again at the end of the week

Thanks for the comments.

I cannot take credit for the camo as that is taken pretty much straight from Max Von D's thread. He has a step by step linked in the last post of page 1. (new to these forums so i may have missed it but how do you get the url for a specific post within a thread?)

In the UK at least, not sure about rest of world, all fusilier regiments have a hackle on their berets. Which is a short feather plume, the colour of which varies from regiment to regiment. I just thought I would add one as a little something extra to the model.

Managed a little more this evening, but forgot to take pic before starting as i said i was going to in my last post. Anyway next WIP.

[jherazob]

You can directly link to the tutorial instead, easier

[julipet]

WIP, working on the base.

Hope it will be good

[Morze]

I have to say, Julipet, human skin colored morats dive deep into uncanny valley.

[Claudius Sol]

Splayed, I didn't know that! Keep it going! It's a very nice touch and lends a TON of character to that beret.

Julipet, is that NMM or TMM? If it's NMM, that's damned convincing.

[julipet]

Yes it is NMM on weapons. I like true metal but i think it doesn't work so well with infinity (it is really nice on privater press minis).
Thanks for comments

[BakuninLover]

WIP, base and weapon left. I have a bunch of Morat airbrushed as I posted earlier but since these are my first painted and I'm setting the color scheme. I felt I had to make a test model finished first before doing the rest.

[julipet]

another wip, doing basing

[Claudius Sol]

Looking great, guys!

I like the "rebar" in that diorama, too.

[splayedpaintbrush]

Think I am calling the miniature done, just got to paint the base up and that'll be the model done.
Here is the latest set of WIP pics.







I am not happy with a few bits, but I am not going to go back to titivate things, I'd never finish. And it was supposed to be a quick paint job anyway

[Mistake Not]

Guess who only got started on her entry yesterday? WIP at the start of day 2, should still be done in time.
