" A MIXED BAG "

Been progressing on several projects since the last post, first is an update on the sculpting of the Eldar Warlock bust
Next up is the progress on the Commissar bust I've been painting for myself, got most of the colours sketched out now, onto the detailing and painting of all that black.
 Next up is the first of a new line of Grav Boarders I'm working on, intending to make six different models, three male and three female of different ethnicity as I want to have a broader spectrum
 While I'm still working on the next game set of rules, I've been continuing sculpting new models for this upcoming release, first is a grey riding on the back of a bulk, being of a diminutive size having a bulk as a protector would make sense.
next is a Ceratid adventurer, this is the model I will be using as Cragor on his adventures using the new system
And last but not least the next step on the Airtrukk build
This step I have now layed down a complete layer of green to cover the whole body of the aircraft which was then smoothed in the same method as last time, remembering to leave the cockpit glass open from the last step.
That's it for this time, so until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave

    This is what I love about you Dave. You are always moving along cranking out awesome work. That elder bust is beautiful. The commissar paint job is looking great, and the ambition you put into your minis is just awesome.

    It is great that you're keeping so busy, Dave. I'm intrigued by your sky surfers or grav boarders as you call them.

    By the way, I'm having trouble accessing your webstore. Every time I try to access the shop I get this error message - "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified." Very frustrating. I've tried accessing it in Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer and both give the same error message.

      Thank you Bryan the grav boarders should be an interesting addition.
      Yes the website is currently having an important security update being installed to make everyone's information even more secure, it should hopefully be completed in the next couple of days. Sorry for any inconvenience

      I understand, and thank you for explaining, Dave. I'm glad the site is down for a good reason and not something malicious. I will be patient.

      Cheers, Dave. I'll get that order I wish to place sorted out.

    The Eldar bust is brilliant, even if GW is not really my thing, that is outstanding work Dave, Likewise the Commissar, the thing that really caught my eye though was the little grey version of "Master Blaster", I love the concept behind this, Cragor is a lovely model too.

    Cheers Roger.

      Thank you Roger, understand that GW is not everyone's cup of tea, but glad you appreciated the work involved.
      Master Blaster was a cool concept, and makes sense for someone small with the brains to utilise a big guy to keep them safe, just working on concepts for the leaders of the grey's hopefully this will add a new element, then I've got the drones and robots to complete this faction.
      Cragor should be hopefully finished soon, so I can start on the rest of his hunting party, then able to show some AAR's of the new rules

      Thank you Michael, I'm actually enjoying painting the larger scale, gives more room for adding detail, that is not so easy on 28 mm

      Thank you Andy, glad you enjoyed the eye candy ! LOL I've got some bits in the pipeline that will hopefully blow people away, not just models but some upcoming AAR's of the new system

    Lots of progress there, Dave. The Eldar Warlock bust is coming along very nicely and nice to see some of the other denizens of the DM universe being realised 'in the green'.

    Plenty of "Wow Factor" on display in what you've titled a mixed bag Dave!
    The modelling is superb across the spectrum, and your artwork on the Commissar is top notch. I'd rename the post A Variety Of Eye Candy :-)

      Thank you Greg, I did think about calling it a pick and mix, but didn't know how many would remember that, thought with the wide variety there would be something for everyone

    Cracking work on the Warlock bust it is progressing nicely. The talisman or wraithbone trinket he is holding is wonderful.

    That Commissar bust is ace. Are you planning on entering him in a competition when finished?

    The plane is progressing nicely indeed.

      Thank you Simon, the client was taken with the rune as well, although there is a couple of smaller pieces I've yet to show which should totally blow his mind.
      Wasn't planning on entering it in any competitions, just painted for fun and to see how far I can go with it.
      The plane is becoming one of those long slog models, with it's size and needing to be very smooth, will keep going with it, just might take some time
