I've seen better dipjobs, but I find these okay for bulk zombies. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6035 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6035 I wonder were they got those bone clubs from? la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6036 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6036 I tried a couple of different skintones for these. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6037 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6037 Some of the poses are a bit awkward. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6038 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6038 One of the stupid things with these is that none of the arms have full sleeves. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6039 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6039 Well, I guess this one doesn't really fit in modern zombie games... la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6017 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6017 Space Hulk board. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6023 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6023 It's zombie time... la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6027 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6027 The two on the left are really old, possibly 80's Citadel. The other one is Alternative Armies celtic-themed undead. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5792 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5792 Lots of them, 51 to be precise. It turns out I wasn't shorted on the 10-cent skeletons after all, I had one bag with 49 and one with 51. And it could be just that I put one back in the wrong bag. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5793 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5793 These are all dipped. This was an experiment in ultimate mass production. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5794 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5794 The obligatory overhead view. As it turns out, there is a limit to how fast you can turn out figure no matter how simple they are. I didn't manage to actually measure it, but I think it's somewhere around the 10-minute mark for me. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5795 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5795 Close up. Learning from previous attempts, I painted the eye sockets black. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5796 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5796 Horde of skeletons approaching. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5797 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5797 I managed to break off one of the axe heads. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5798 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5798 I had had these lying about for a long time and it was either paint them or throw them out. This doesn't mean they won't get thrown out anyway... ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5782 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5782 The final batch of celtic warriors. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5783 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5783 This set came as a freebie with Foundry's celtic cavalry horde. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5784 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5784 These are done almost entirely in 3-color style with Foundry colors. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5785 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5785 Except the metallics. I still can't do metallics in 3-color. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5786 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5786 I think I'm getting the hang of it. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5787 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5787 The color palette is a bit limited though, maybe I should get some more colors. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5788 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5788 It's the burnout again. Everything went well up to the point I was supposed to do individual shield designs for everyone. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5780 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5780 No Floyds in sight, pink or otherwise. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5781 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5781 Yet more propaganda posters to spice it up a bit. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5600 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5600 No idea what this game was all about. Looks vaguely 18th century to me, though I'm not really sure. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5601 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5601 Nice graveyard, though. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5606 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5606 Now, if I recall correctly, this wasn't really a Wargods game but something in a similar vein. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5607 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5607 I don't quite know how the yeti and the pyramids go together. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5608 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5608 Aegyptian war elephant and Spartans, I gather? pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5680 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5680 One of the not-Wargods games. No offense, but the pyramid theme seemed to be thrown around a lot. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5678 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5678 I've heard of this game somewhere. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5679 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5679 Looks like it's element-based. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5592 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5592 Another period I don't really know much about. The tree bases stick out a bit too much though. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5593 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5593 Looks rather skirmishy, though. Is that a word? pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5763 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5763 Rebs and yanks. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5552 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5552 Looks like Anzac troops are coming onshore. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5721 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5721 Another Dalek. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5581 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5581 The battle of something or the other... pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5582 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5582 The redcoats are at it again. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5583 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5583 The game could look better, but the organizers were wearing actual samurai garb. I'll take that over SS any day of the week. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5584 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5584 I guess the main detraction is the disparity between the ground cloth and everything else. I know, because my terrain at home has the same problem. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5711 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5711 Finally at the ExCel after two grueling hours in public transportation. Well, actually the traing from Reading to Paddington was ok. The tube and DLR made up for it, though. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5518 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5518 Burma or Thailand or something like that... lots of neat elephants. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5519 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5519 This is a rather intriguing setup, actually. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5541 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5541 Looks like SE Asia again. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5542 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5542 Japanese seem to be attacking, so this must be early war. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5543 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5543 The terrain reminds me of Burma. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5530 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5530 Rackham's new puppy. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5531 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5531 Looks halfway decent, at least the terrain. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5532 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5532 Clearly their main item this year. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5534 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5534 Too much flash, but they look relatively ok. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5769 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5769 I think this was a Back of Beyond game. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5770 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5770 The defenders. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5554 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5554 Neat fortress.

They were on sale too (painted) and not all that expensive either. Too bad my bag was too full to really buy anything. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5576 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5576 Based pretty much on Vendel's line of figures. Could be interesting though. pe, 04 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5578 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5578 You can't go wrong with livestock on the board.

I think this is already substantially neater work. su, 15 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5316 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5316 Niobe and Europa were among the latest of the first class protected cruisers in British employ, but still painfully obsolete in 1914. su, 15 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5301 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5301 In this latest batch, I reduced the color palette even further. It's only five different colors plus dip. su, 15 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5304 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5304 The Minotaur was one of the most modern ships abroad. Europa wasn't really there, she just came in the same pack with Niobe. su, 15 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5270 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5270 Aussie destroyers steaming on. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5269 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5269 Two old destroyers in Far East service. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5271 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5271 These obsolete old cruisers still found some use in the Far East. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5273 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5273 The sisters Yarmouth and Dartmouth. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5284 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5284 Later renamed the E-class. Many different boats but grouped together based on ability rather than exact design. These puppies were in China Station in 1914, and pretty obsolete by then. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5272 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5272 Australian and British light cruisers of somewhat more modern design. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5279 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5279 British and Commonwealth ships not stationed in or near Europe. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5282 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5282 Pretty standard designs by WWI, seriously outgunning older light cruisers. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5281 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5281 These old cruisers still found use in faraway places. Despite spanning the globe, the British Empire did not believe in even distribution of naval forces, practically all new ships were with the Home Fleet. But then again, they did prove the ability to send them to far corners of the world at short notice. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5280 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5280 When I bought my Foreign Stations ships, these were among the extras I got. They lack name tags as I hadn't quite decided yet which names to give them. Some extra ships were named, usually because the class was so small it didn't really leave any choice. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5283 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5283 Sailing abreast. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5278 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5278 Niilo concentrates on his second ork. ma, 02 loka 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5255 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5255 After dipping, which covers most of the missed spots. His color choices were perhaps not optimal for dipping, though. pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5256 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5256 The ork's back.

Saara chose the paint scheme herfself. pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5263 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5263 She picked up the horse scheme from a book on horses I bought explicitly for the purpose -- for myself. pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5264 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5264 Again, the color scheme is Saara's choice. pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5268 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5268 Saara insisted on the rocks on the base. pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5257 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5257 I made this one to use up my store of fieldstone bricks. pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5259 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5259 Again, the roof is removable. pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5266 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5266 Here's Niilo putting the strokes on his ork. pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5261 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5261 Niilo set up a game with the clicky figures, which are best suited for the abuse. pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5265 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5265 Undercoated with white gesso. Niilo's patience isn't quite long enough for the painting yet. Yes, they are those horrid Space Crusade figures. pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5267 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5267 The finished product. I would have done some more shading, but it's her work. pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5258 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5258 It's a house, what can I say? pe, 29 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5233 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5233 Inside of view of the cathedral. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5243 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5243 The finished cathedral, finally. As you can see, the roof really should be steeper than 45 degrees. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5245 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5245 The obligatory overhead view. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5246 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5246 Maybe it would be better with a black roof after all... ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5247 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5247 There isn't enough room for the arch either. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5248 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5248 But the roof is removable. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5249 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5249 I made the top layer in two parts mainly because I wasn't sure it could handle the stress of a one-piece structure. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5251 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5251 Inside, facing the altar space. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5252 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5252 I left out all the furnishings to leave more room for figures. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5234 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5234 Horned Ones assemble for a fight. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5235 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5235 The obligatory overhead view again. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5236 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5236 I was really uninspired thinking about a color scheme for this unit. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5237 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5237 Regular swordsmen.

I think I got three leaders and one regular in these almost identical poses. I moved the shields from the back to the arm and bent the shield arms a bit to make them a little bit unique. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5240 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5240 Swordsman.

Also note the different, more plain, sword handle. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5244 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5244 This top view shows the differences. ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5250 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5250 Overhead view without the roof. The floor is the primus motor for this project. I had a bunch of arrow slit pieces I could find a use for... ma, 04 syys 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5231 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5231 I'm not quite satisfied with the roof (it's not steep enough), but it's a separate piece so I can redo it easily if I really feel like it. The Cathedral is just missing paint now. pe, 25 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5224 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5224 The kids cleaned these minis themselves, with only a little bit of help from me. pe, 25 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5232 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5232 Here's a dipped horse. I spray-painted it brown, added the other colors flat and dipped in Dark Walnut. Reasonable result for the effort, I'd say. Oh, it's a Foundry Celtish horse. pe, 25 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5227 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5227 This is the initial test subject for the darker dip. For some reason it was much thicker than the other color, I had to wipe most of it off with a brush. pe, 25 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5228 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5228 Mahogany-dipped skeleton. The eye sockets don't fill quite well, I guess I'll need to add a touch-up phase after all. pe, 25 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5229 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5229 Dark Walnut -dipped skeleton. I diluted the color with water (it's water-soluble varnish, not polyurethane), seemed to work much better. pe, 25 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5225 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5225 These are the ten cent skeletons I bought a year or two back.

Like most megagames, it look pretty unplayable. Impressive amount of figures, though. ma, 14 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5197 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5197 And the thin gray/green line gets ready to receive the onslought. Looks like the game is designed for tactical maneuvering... NOT! ma, 14 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5193 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5193 A bit dark Tau army. ma, 14 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5192 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5192 Not spectacular, but pretty impressive considering the amount of work that went into it. ma, 14 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5212 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5212 A game of Confrontation. ma, 14 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5217 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5217 Another game of Confrontation. ma, 14 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5222 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5222 Boxes of figures ready to be deployed. ma, 14 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5220 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5220 Looks like it's Hordes after all. ma, 14 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5201 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5201 This might be a good game or it might suck. I would have bought if the box I looked at had had a price tag on it. BIG MISTAKE! ma, 14 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5221 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5221 A Finnish Space Hulk / Doom sort of game. They had polished the components a lot from last year, but I have no idea about the gameplay. ma, 14 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5218 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5218 Looks like Warmachine. ma, 14 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5172 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5172 One of the poses is noticeably smaller than the other one... pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5173 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5173 This is the beefier of the two. You'll note that the same basic body/pose has been re-used in many other dwarf figures in the early Chronopia line. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5174 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5174 This is the weenier version. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5171 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5171 Three identical heroes. I gave them different hair colors, though. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5184 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5184 These two are from the Redoubt Three Musketeers line. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5185 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5185 Unfortunately the shot is out of focus. The damn camera kept wanting to auto-focus to the building. Anyway, this is done in Kevin's 3-color style using Foundry paints. The blade of the rapier fell off immediately, so I replaced with steel wire. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5186 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5186 Another duelists, in more earthy tones. I'm not too happy how the blades turned out. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5187 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5187 They are presumably french, so they won't mind us showing their backsides, I guess. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5188 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5188 Should have painted the scabbard black... pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5189 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5189 I'm not too fond of this pose. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5170 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5170 Here's a group shot of the remaining batch of tuskies. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5175 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5175 These are possibly the best Dark Tusk figures in the early line. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5179 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5179 I messed up the shield. I still can't do metals in 3-color. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5181 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5181 Nice piggie on a pole. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5182 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5182 I painted the pelt cloak too dark, it doesn't stand out against the dark armor... pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5176 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5176 I really like this guy, even though I'm not quite happy with the golden armor. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5177 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5177 Love the eyelashes. They are not missing the shields, they are actually the 'gauntlet' variant. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5178 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5178 This is the other pose. Initially I intended to paint a colorful design on the shield, but inspiration evaded me so I just painted it kinda brownish. The wood grain is sculpted rather deeply there. pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5190 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5190 Hmmm.... how does this differ from the other picture? Oh well... pe, 11 elo 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5091 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5091 I painted these to see if I could so 10mm at all. Thanks Chris for the figures. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5097 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5097 This particular set took about a year to complete. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5098 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5098 Frankly, I have no idea which manufacturer's figures these are. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5099 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5099 It's a mix of various dark age types. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5100 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5100 This is from a newer set. I basically did these in an hour starting from black undercoat. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5101 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5101 Though this is the second set of 10mm I've painted, there's already some improvement. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5102 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5102 It takes a totally different mindset to paint these compared to doing 28mm figures. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5103 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5103 Yes, Watson, these are dipped. While I'd never subject, well not normally anyway, 28mm figures to such a treatment, these puppies seem to be built for it. This is mahogany shade, a darker dip might work better. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5104 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5104 The other new stip of 10mm figures. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5081 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5081 At this point I got confident enough to do some simple shield designs. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5082 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5082 A couple on Normans mixed in I think. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5083 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5083 The thing I hate about these is the same I hate about crappy figures: It's sometimes impossible to tell whether the figure is supposed to have e.g. boots or pants. But then again in this scale is basically becomes how you paint it. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5084 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5084 More dark age infantry. These would look better with more variety, but this assembly line painting is not really suited for that. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5085 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5085 My Kryomek finally finished! I had these sitting on my desk for a very very long time. I really like the figures but for some reason I just couldn't find the inspiration to paint them. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5086 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5086 The obligatory overhead view. I must say these are probably my most uninspired figures to date. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5087 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5087 Some Alpha Hellions I think. Initially I thought about doing the same color scheme as with my tyranids, but these guys don't really have enough carapace for it. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5088 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5088 More Alpha Hellions. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5089 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5089 Hellions, I forget which type these are. Anyway, I like this worm type better than the puppy dog ones. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5090 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5090 It's a real pity to see fine figures such as these so crappily painted. But at least they don't haunt my desk anymore. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5092 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5092 More Hellions. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5093 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5093 Warrior drone or somesuch. This figure is a bit hard to assemble. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5094 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5094 I went for the universal color scheme as with my tyranids, but in retrospect it might have been better to paint the gun in a different color -- it's not really a part of the creature as it is with the 'nids. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5095 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5095 Closeup of the warrior. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5096 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5096 Carapace detail. The purple section is just an inkwash over the gray paint. ti, 11 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5022 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5022 This is made from the contents of the Tehnolog/Pegasus large Hexagon box. su, 09 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5033 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5033 It was a learning experience, I can tell you that. Next time, I'll try to paint the pieces on the sprue. su, 09 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5044 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5044 The kit is sold as rebuildable, but frankly it's not. You have a degree of trial and error when building it, but the connector pieces won't stand up to repeated rebuilding. su, 09 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5055 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5055 Here's a Black Tree 28mm celtic warrior on one of the platforms. As you can see, the platform is a bit big for 28mm, but quite usable. su, 09 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5011 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5011 I made this from the leftover pieces of my Tehnolog Hexagon set. These pieces seemed a bit hard to connect with the rest of the set. su, 09 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4985 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4985 I really like this figure, and it was easy to paint too. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4986 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4986 I thought about doing the detail in silver, but I guess the miniature would have been too monotone then... la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4987 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4987 This is almost entirely drybrushed. The helmet was a bit hard to reach, though. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4995 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4995 Originally, I designed this building the get rid of a huge pile of arrow slits. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4996 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4996 Then, ofcourse, I ran out of blocks when I was supposed to do the ceiling... la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4997 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4997 Warrior of the Golden Mask and Keepers of the Flame out and about, backed up by an Adamantite Golem from the House of Obsidian Serpent. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4999 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4999 I rather like these figures, even though I still can't shade gold in 3-color style. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4988 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4988 This is the leader figure for the Keepers. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4989 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4989 Originally, I meant to give them just plain red clothing, but then I decided to do the flame motif and I'm pretty happy with the results. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4990 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4990 One of the two trooper blister poses. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4991 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4991 The other pose. Unlike the leader, these are single-part minis and a bit flat in appearance. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4992 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4992 This is made from Hirst Arts fieldstone blocks. The roof is removable. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4993 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4993 The roof is cardboard strips on a balsa backing. Unfortunately the balse warped seriously when it got into contact with paint, breaking the glue bond with the tiles. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4994 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4994 Here's the house with the roof removed. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4984 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4984 A better view of the sashimono. Errmm, I don't know what the pointy ears call it really... la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5000 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5000 Here's the Big Mean Elf himself. I dropped the blue from the concept art and did him entirely in red/yellow/gold/black scheme. la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4998 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4998 Most of my elves are painted as House of Helios, but since the Adamantite Golem is Obsidian Serpent exclusive, I guess I gotta paint some troops in their colors too... and then some Crystal Lotus ones for the Crystal Knight... la, 01 heinä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4979 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4979 The pansies don't even need an enemy to screw up their formation... ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4946 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4946 I basically made this to get rid of a bunch of arch pieces. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4947 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4947 The castle grows and grows... now I have enough pieces for a 3x2 layout with corner towers. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4969 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4969 I think I overuse red color schemes, so I made these guys yellow instead, for the House of Helios. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4970 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4970 I'm not happy with the belt. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4971 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4971 The right hand was a bit hard to assemble. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4972 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4972 Here's another view of the flame motif banner. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4973 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4973 Interestingly, this special trooper is cheaper in points than a regular axe elf. While he may be good for chopping up weak opponents, the hand axes lack the punch of the big cleavers. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4974 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4974 Even so, he must be a dopplesoldner. He's got a money pouch under each arm while the other troopers have just one or even none. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4956 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4956 Elven axemen. I really like this concept, it deviates from the normal pansy imagery. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4968 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4968 The command trio. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4976 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4976 Two-pose wonders arrayed for battle. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4977 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4977 I still can't shade the gold. The cingulum thingy is shaded in all three Foundry gold shades, but it looks awfully single color to me. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4978 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4978 I thought about doing the edges of the axe blades in bare metal, but in the end fatigue won out. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4962 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4962 If you look closely, you can see I skimped on the dangly stuff in the belly. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4963 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4963 A closer look at the shield. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4965 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4965 As normal, the trooper blisters come with just two poses. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4966 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4966 These guy smust value their butts highly, because they are so keen on protecting it. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4967 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4967 I left the eyesockets black. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4959 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4959 I couldn't find a transfer I liked for the banners and shields, and knowing that I suck at freehand, I painted this abstract flame motif instead. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4957 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4957 Elven spearmen. While not as manly as the axe-elfs, these guys are no pushovers either. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4960 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4960 Ready to receive a charge. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4961 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4961 The shields are nicely visible here. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4958 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4958 Spearman command, leader and standard bearer. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4955 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4955 The House of Helios troops ready for battle. ti, 27 kesä 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4905 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4905 With round killing things. su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4906 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4906 Originally, I intended to put more bronze on this. su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4907 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4907 I quite like the face even though the head position is somewhat unnatural. su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4908 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4908 The non-metallic parts are done in 3-color style. su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4909 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4909 Another Dark-star warrior. su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4910 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4910 I'm not entirely happy with the helmet. Maybe it should have been all bronze... su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4912 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4912 The bronze is inkwashed gold. Maybe drybrushing would have worked better... su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4913 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4913 I'm not entirely happy with the eyes, but otherwise I think it went pretty well. su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4914 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4914 I think the pants went especially well. su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4915 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4915 The color combination is wrong. Should have been black pants and yellow shirt, since fair hair is not really an option. su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4916 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4916 Black is surprisingly easy to do in 3-color, IMHO. Not quite satisfied with the hair, though. The patterns are done with a technical drawing pen. su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4917 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4917 Another cheater: The brown robe and the green armor are both inked. Naughty me! su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4918 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4918 But the red vest is okay, I think, as are the chrome-dome highlights. su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4919 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4919 I should have used some other color for the socks. The starter set colors are pretty limited actually. You basically have one red, one green, one blue, black and white and a bunch of kinda brownish tones. Wouldn't be a problem if you mix, but the whole point of the Foundry paints is not needing to mix. su, 28 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4920 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4920 The red jacket is looking a bit bland even with the patterns.

If you zoom in, you'll see how bad the cord on the spearshaft looks. I think a wash would have been better. su, 21 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4884 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4884 I struggled to come up with this color combination, but I'm pretty happy with the end result. su, 21 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4885 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4885 Red is definitely not one of the better colors in the Foundry palette, but this came out ok. su, 21 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4900 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4900 Ok, he's got a sword too. su, 21 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4896 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4896 Note the shape of the blade.

Note how the base is not dry yet, you can see the white glue on it. su, 07 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4871 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4871 Another samurai. This is not 100% kosher 3-color one, though. The brown cloth is based on a Vallejo color and inkwashed before painting in the highlight. I simply squirted too much Vallejo brown and had to use it somewhere... su, 07 touko 2006 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4872 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=4872 The black scabbards are getting a bit boring.

Therefore, the wing spine is white instead of black... ma, 04 huhti 2005 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3448 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3448 And the wings from the back. I was too tired to do the 3-color scheme on the other one. Looks ok anyway. ma, 04 huhti 2005 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3411 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3411 Gaunts from the side. ma, 04 huhti 2005 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3449 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3449 Here's the other five gaunts from the Battle for Macragge box. ma, 04 huhti 2005 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3450 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3450 Overhead view of this mini-brood. I have about 16 not so good (assembled by someone else) gaunts I plan to paint in the same scheme. ma, 04 huhti 2005 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3440 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3440 These are the new-style genestealers that came with the Battle for Macragge box. I was really uninspired to do these, but I made a pledge to paint up everything in the box. ma, 04 huhti 2005 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3441 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3441 Closeup on one the new stealers. As I'm already swimming in stealers, I really didn't need these guys. ma, 04 huhti 2005 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3442 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3442 Frankly, I'm not so sure these are any better than the old ones. E.g. the tails are fused to the legs. ma, 04 huhti 2005 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3444 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3444 Top view showing the carapace. ma, 04 huhti 2005 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3386 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3386 Boudicca leading the Black Tree tribe to battle. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3387 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3387 These would complete my celtic army if hadn't bought a cavalry horde from Foudry... su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3388 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3388 The warrior queen herself. I painted her in the same color scheme as the foot version. Afterwards I noticed that this was supposed to be Boudicca and the foot version is actually Cartimandua. Oh, well... su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3389 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3389 Black Tree chariots in action. I actually ordered two heavy and two light chariots from them, but they sent me four heavy ones instead. The difference is minimal, but the identical crews get a bit boring. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3390 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3390 Yiihaa! su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3391 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3391 The base is a mixture of static grass and coffee grounds. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3392 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3392 A better view of the horses. I made a conscious effort to make the horses different and not the usual brown all over deal. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3393 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3393 More horses. Two of the chariots were missing the yokes, so I made new ones from wire. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3394 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3394 And the obligatory overhead view. These are based on 80x80mm bases. I was torn between that and Vis Bellica's 60x120mm, but went with this anyway. You could put a few chariot runners on the sides. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3396 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3396 These are from the Battle for Macragge box set. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3397 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3397 I like this result better than the last one, I think I'll paint a full brood in this color scheme. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3398 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3398 Closeup showing how macro lacks depth focus. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3399 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3399 I undercoated these with gray primer and put a dark gray wash directly over that, a speed up technique I've previously used with genestealers. After the wash is dry, pick out the plates in black and give it a light gray drybrush all over. Then just a little detailing and it's done. Very fast overall and fun to do. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3400 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3400 The obligatory overhead view again. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3401 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3401 The dots are actually rather easy to do because they don't have to be uniform. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3402 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3402 And one from the rear quarter. It's not very evident in these pictures, but the join over the rear legs is the weak point of these figures. Leaves a horrid gap and should really be puttied. su, 20 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3377 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3377 These were practically done when I got them. to, 03 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3378 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3378 The base stems on these little guys are a bit fragile. to, 03 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3376 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3376 I bought this bunch half-done and finished them. to, 03 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3379 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3379 I got these assembled, and as you can see, the glowrod does not fit properly. Bad design, that area is way too weak. to, 03 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3380 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3380 Oh yes, I chopped off all the silly axe blades. to, 03 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3381 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3381 I wasn't shorted by the seller: I managed to lose one of the rods, so I cut a piece of beam saber sprue from a Gundam Model to replace it. to, 03 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3382 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3382 And the obligatory overhead view. to, 03 maalis 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3373 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3373 Some barrels.

The sheet ain't this red in real life. These are shuttle pieces from the Battle for Macragge boxed set, which is excellent value for money. su, 13 helmi 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3367 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3367 I actually have two of these. I friendly person gave me one as a freebie. Thanks! su, 13 helmi 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3368 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3368 This piece has a design flaw: it has no bottom inside. I solved this by glueing a bit of black cardboard under it. su, 13 helmi 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3369 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3369 The interesting question is, could you glean enough information from these pieces to build a believable model of an intact shuttle? The front and tail are easy enough, but the mid-section would need to be extrapolated. su, 13 helmi 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3370 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3370 And here's a peek at the fusion core. su, 13 helmi 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3371 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3371 The other wing section. Heretically, I chose to use red trim instead of the blue and black in the box art. In addition, the hull gray has a slight yellow tint, though that might be hard to see in the photos. su, 13 helmi 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3372 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3372 Standard GW gothic ruins. su, 13 helmi 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3364 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3364 Note for purists: They're NOT sold as palm trees. I actually did not buy these, they sort of came as freebies with lots of stuff. It says you can build four trees from a set, but that's only because there's too few stumps. Base them yourself, and you can build roughly twice that number. su, 13 helmi 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3286 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3286 Look ma, it's a stack of hills! la, 29 tammi 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3277 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3277 While not actually a game of Full Thrust, it looks very much like one... la, 29 tammi 2005 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3278 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=3278 Can you count how many starships are in this picture?
