Odd duck. Painter. Sculptor. Artist. Musician. Writer. Miniature games, tattoos, punk rock, and short fiction are specialties. Steampunk shit is just for special people. Probably dead, just haven't realized it yet. Oh, and fuck the current administration.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3089. Totally not exciting picture of 3 blokes who've been undercoated! The follow up will be better, though.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3088. Slapped some more paint on these tech-thralls. TBPH, they're only being painted to test out Speedpaints. But they'll also make good bullet catchers for the Obsidian.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3086. I found this Skibbiti Toilet toy in the clearance aisle last night. I dunno what the fuck Skibbiti Toilet is, but it looks like a ready-made Gaslands vehicle to me. Even the "person" is almost to scale. Just needs a little modification and some paint.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3084. Dug these two monsters out of a box this morning. They DESPERATELY need a bath and some minor repairs, but soon they'll be invisible. And by that I mean purple. I DO need to put some scorch effects on them as well, but at the time, I didn't have the skills I do now.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3082. This become problematic as of late. I need to get my brain and hand checked out for nerve and/or neurological damage. As for painting, well, that's been iffy. I need to highlight the towers on this Canoness' banner, it's hard to see in person, too fucking dark.
Added a little color to the big fucker. Not too thrilled with it.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3078. Been working on tons of shit the past few sessions (pics to follow). Tonight I'm happy to place Nu-77 on the Obsidian's complement list. I don't think he belongs to anyone in particular, just a random gun servitor.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3074. Big string of ammunition almost done, just need the bright silver on the bullet casings, then some highlighting. As for the big guy himself, touched up the green basecoats, and started making his power klaw brighter. It's probably not obvious yet.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3073. Sorry for the skip, folks. Just too lazy to post. Today (after some yard work) I'll be finishing this rather long chain of bullets. Should be fun!
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3067. FINALLY got myself covered in metal - in hindsight, I should have just u/c'd him in metal and painted over the other bits. I also dropped him earlier, broke his right leg in two places. Repair came out pretty well. Probably starting on his banner pole later.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3066. Man didn't realize how much I depended on my phone - got a new one. So contrary to popular belief, I'm not dead. Been building a 4'x4' ash wastes board for Necromunda/KT/etc, details on that later. Tonight I started the metallics on myself. Then ran out of paint...
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3057. Hey fans, sorry I haven't posted anything lately, most of what I've been working on is very dull,and I've been neglecting you all. I'm sorry for that. Tonight I'm working on Deiter here. I can't remember his name, so I'm gonna have to scroll back a few months.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3052. Working on another bit of hive scum for the Emperor's Meat Grinder, er, Holy Inquisition. As usual with these blokes, mostly Speedpaints and washes will be used. They're cannon fodder, I can be quick and sloppy with them.
NSFW #nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3050. Normally, I don't mind painting skin. I'm actually not terrible at it. But at THIS fucking scale, it sucks. Her skin needs another few layers of lightening up, I'm thinking.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3049. Painted up another wall/barricade tonight while watching Rose Red. I'm probably gonna do another, and I might start highlights on my (green) skin.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3048. I've concluded that when painting oneself as an entirely different species, one is advised to take baby steps. Painting myself as an Inquisitor has been easy, Hell, the models even looks like me. This one? Not so much.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3046. Here's today's docket. Im about to start cutting tape to put them all on a stick for priming. Also, I made a tree.
And a tshirt. And a sweatshirt. The sweatshirt is actually pink.
A very rude, and oversized grot. I actually dropped him taking the pic, cuz I'm drunk. I was shocked his finger didn't break off.
Psyker. She's actually about the perfect scale. And I LOVE the details on her. Inquisitor? Probably not. Possibly a Navigator? Again, no plan for her.
Vernetta Vendetta. Not entirely sure what to do with her. And I just noticed her sword is broke off...
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3045. I've spent the last two sessions assembling minis (and loving my new wardrobe), most of which were too small to use. But this really long thread will be the ones that are usable on the Obsidian Projekt. First is an Escher champion. Recruited by...dunno yet.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3043. Okay, cleaned up the Baron's eyes again. Next i have to put the white in them. Might mix a tiny bit of red to it, make them rhuemy. He's supposed to be ill, after all.
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 3042. Here's Warboss Apluz Toofbusta, v3.0. He gets bigger with every iteration.
