Hi all
Not posted much here recently, I’ve been in a bit of a slump. Still, onwards and upwards…..finished these doggies. They are 28mm Oathmark figures by North Star Miniatures…painted with Vallejo model colour and tufts by warpainter.

The riders will be along next. Hopefully about a week or so to paint them. After that I have different stuff to give me a change of pace.
Hope you like them

Another fine job Tim

That's what you do in a slump?
wow!

wow!

The slump was the reason that they took so long Neil. I would expect to get those done in a couple of weeks , there are only ten after all….but they took over a month….I just didn’t want to sit down and get on with them! Glad you like them though

Thanks so much Dave. That is a really nice comment to receive. Don’t think they’ll work for cat scaring though….I’ve got two cats, and one of them nicks my painting water every night…so much so that I’ve taken to refilling the container with fresh water and moving it to the front of the bench to minimise night visit damage!

Yes Tim I agree with others amazing work. Hang in there

Any time my friend. I’m keeping the mojo running by building these 1/32 Road Racer if not for that I think I would be dead in the water

Hi Tim,
I`ve only just seen these,all the superlatives have been used already by my Peers,so i`ll just say ,"WOW" ,I know it`s weak,but the best i can do!!
The detailing,as with all of your work,is stunning,(even the claws look real!!),i`m also loving the groundwork..... many a nice model is spoilt by an "Un supportive",(ie,poor quality)base!
Top stuff as ever mate,
Andy

Many thanks Andy. The claws were easy….just outlined the area in black using a wash, painted the claws beige brown, then give them a thin layer of ivory white and another coat of ivory white where the highlights are, to build up the colour depth. As to the bases, a coat of earth coloured basing material ( I colour it with powder paint as I mix it). Add stones, which in my case came from a big bag herself has for basing pond plants, then flock. Three flock colours used here, rough pasture, dark green, and spring green, all from Javis. Last on are a couple of tufts from the warpainter range. Simples!

 

[Lee Drennen]

Just about done with the Vette added the numbers to it this morning I might put a few small sponsor decals before I call it and I have a few more details to finish on it.

 

[Lee Drennen]

As the Vette is getting closer to the Pole Position this one is currently on the bench

 

[Tim Marlow]

Vette looks great Lee, a real silver bullet. Looks like a bit of work in the DB5 though. Not surprising, the moulds are probably as old as me….

 

[Mini Me]

Hi Lee, the Vette looks very "muscular".....I was wondering if you were to darken the spokes and centers of those wheels, might give a little more zip to an already fine looking machine.....just a thot Sir. Rick H.

Thanks Tim. The light keeps giving the car a Silver look but is kind a Ice Blue. Yes I seen the nightmare when I opened the kit on the Aston the right pillar was broken I’ve fixed it several times lots of clean up.

Rick. Thanks for the nice complement. The wheels are already darken hard to see them in the light but the center isn’t I might do that thanks

I’ve got two cats, and one of them nicks my painting water every night…so much so that I’ve taken to refilling the container with fresh water and moving it to the front of the bench to minimise night visit damage!

I learned long ago to always shut the door to my hobby room when I’m not there, to prevent cats coming in, snooping around and knocking stuff over — or even taking a nap on top of a diorama (as one was known to do long ago).
