NOTHING BUT MAMMALS

 Recently, one of my customers asked if I could paint up some Burrows and Badgers models for him, obviously I obliged, especially as he has been patiently waiting for my hand to get better so I can build his scenery requests. First today is the white mouse which apparently comes free with the rulebook.


Next is a Black Rat Witch, I did add brown and grey tones into the fur to match the reference. The spider I painted as a Red Widow ( yes it's a real thing who knew ! LOL)


Next is a Hare Warrior, I was surprised at how many different tones there are in a real one.


Last of the quartet is a Platypus, I had a bit of fun with the fur cloak, doing different colors, and also symbols on the inner side.


Here are all four for a size comparison


These were a great change of pace from my normal models, and they are already at my customers, for them to start enjoying. 

Tomorrow is the start of Monster May(hem) over on Keith's blog, if you want to join in the fun, just pop on through the link and leave a comment, and also your blog address. I'm hoping to get some of these Gnarloc Riders finished, and I've also ordered a couple of Star Wars monsters in case I fall short at the final hurdle getting these sculpted ( been working on these since last year ! LOL)


That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

LESS SCREEN TIME THAN ME

 Yes todays trio collectively spent less time on screen then I did ! LOL So first is another pod racer, Clegg Holdfast who is a Nosaurian, left off some of the finery to make his clothing look more everyday.


Next is Gasgano, who is a Xexto, for this one I left off the headgear, for walking around the streets.


Here is a group shot of all the racers so far.


I now have the seven that didn't even get a second of screentime left to do. 

Today I can call time on the patrons of the Cantina, as I have the last one finished.


Wanted to make sure he lent on the table, as in the screen shot, the head started as a GW Imperial Guard head, but the rest is greenstuff over wire frame, on one of my stools. That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

HATE IS A STRONG TERM

 Today I have the second half of my recent purchase painted up, now these are characters that are disliked for one reason or another, mostly their actions. First today is Qi'ra, she is second in command of Crimson Dawn under Maul, and was Han's first love, but she chose power over love. The model is a 3D resin print.


Next today is Cid, she is a Trandoshian female business owner, of questionable reputation, I thought the model would do as a business owner on Tatooine. Also a 3D resin print.


Next today is Wato a Toydarian scrap merchant seen in Episode one and the owner of Anakin Skywalker, he has very low morals and is only interested in money, there is a current theory that Darth Vader killed him, so he could still be around in my time frame.


Dai if you are reading this bit just skip down to the comments from here, there is nothing to see my friend.


Has he gone ? Good, right if you asked most people who is the most hated character in Star Wars, they would probably say Jar Jar Binks, but if you are older and read the original comics, then they would probably say Jaxxon, who was a six foot tall green rabbit ! His actual species designation is a Lepi. When the original film had finished in it's comic run, Marvel then had Luke trying to recruit on a water planet, and Han on another desert planet, Han ended up playing out the Magnificent Seven, recruiting a bunch of people to save a village and Jaxxon was one of them.


So why did I get this 3D print, bit of nostalgia, plus it was a character I could put in games and wouldn't mind if he gets shot ! LOL and if Dai decided to keep reading here's a picture to keep you happy mate.


Mustn't forget my group shot to show the sizes.


That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

ACTION'S SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

I decided to get some character models this month for Star Wars, the models shown today are 3D prints I ordered at the beginning of the month, and turned up on Friday, the first model today is a representation of NED-B the loader droid from the Obi Wan Kenobi series, who was a rebel. Loaders aren't given the ability to speak, hence their actions speak louder, would have liked it without the gun, but it will do for the docking area on my Tatooine board.


Next today is another KX enforcer droid, to add to my collection, this brings my total up to 4 for the Empire, and after seeing them in action in Andor season 2, they should make an effective unit.


Last today is Azmorigan, who is a Jablogian that appears in the cartoon series Star Wars Rebels, he is a smuggler and scoundrel, always looking to make more credits, and occasionally works with Hondo Onaka, but generally not to be trusted by his actions. His character actually comes from some of the early designs for Jabba the Hutt.


Here is a group shot to show their different sizes.


I've got some more characters to paint as well, while still sculpting more pod racers and other characters, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

WAIT THERE'S MORE

 Today I have some more pod racers to show, first I'll start with Ratts Tyerell who is a Aleena, the model is greenstuff over frame.


Next is Ody Mandrell who is an Er'Kit, this is another full sculpt.


Next is Mars Guo who is a Bardottan and is another full sculpt.


Last one today is Teemto Pagalies who is a Veknoid, and is another full sculpt.


Here is a group shot with the other three I'd already done.


I have another two sculpts started of the racers you see in the film, then I'll be moving on to the unseen ones, that's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave
