Space Ranger's Work

Finally an update. This 1st ed. Hsien is now my Dahshat Hulang. Known as Black Lion. Got a few details to do yet but he's table ready I think.

 

Now for my Dahshat Zhencha. 1st ed Daofei with cut off HMG to now be a Boarding Shotgun! I'm really happy to get new life out of old figures.

 

I had a bit of a holiday painting day. Two figs in one day! Here's my Brawler MSR (Taagma Schemer, hey he counts as a brawler in Spiral lol) I wanted to do something different with him for colors but ended up going with colors i've been doing a lot with my Yu Jing. I did it because he's going to serve a few roles. Brawler in Dahshat, Armand in Yu Jing and Ikari, maybe even bounty hunter if I roll up a sniper booty. This paint scheme allows him to go with all of my armies fairly well.

 

I accomplished a lot on the holiday (Thanksgiving in tthe US). I had already primed, zhenithal highlighted and did a coat of glazed jade green. Then on the weekend i did all of the rest. I’m really liking using glaze medium. I was almost ruining all of the pre-highlights I did before. So here’s my Liu Xing and Krit Kokram.

 

no chicken emoji! Yes and no. They were on him previously. but then i was like, "ef-if!" after I stripped him. so more lazy than anything. I never thought they looked good anyway. I'd say this looks more "Hulang-ish". lol

 

Update! Sort of. I've been working on terrain lately. See that here.

So being poor can have it's advantages. Especially with being creative.

First, I've been wanting a new way to attach my minis to something for painting. I don't want to buy one of those expensive holders though they do look useful. right now I just use pieces of wood with blue tack but i need to lay it down for drying or not in use. So I've found the below at Hobby Lobby. My figs are all magnetized and this jar has a metal lid/cap/whatever, it also cost all of $2 (change in the car). I had to add a few more magnets around because i found with only one at the bottom, the fig would "spin".



Next is this kitty. I found him in my FLGS in the discount bin, the fig is from this. It's a lot bigger than I thought and I was thinking of using him as a YJ statue, However, I realized it's about as big as a Maggy!! So now I'm thinking he's may Dahshat TAG!! However, I need to find some weapons to put on him. Anyone have ideas?

 

I'll be keeping my eye out for something. I don't have anything myself right now. There's two perfect spots on his back for mounting weapons.

 

great idea. I could try seeing if anyone has some at the store but going to be a while. Good thing I'm patient lol

 

Finally an Update! You'd think being stuck at home for months I'd get a bit more done but It's been hard to get motivated.

Here's my old Shang Ji. She's a bit small but she still kicks ass!


Haidao KHD


Looks cool even though I'll probably never use him.


Re-painted Yan Huo. He was White and Grey with some Green. Now he matches the rest of the force.

 

I tried to see covid as a positive for getting figs done lol. But working at home (which I'm grateful I can do), hurts my back. The thought of sitting in my chair painting more hasn't appealed to me until recently.

 

Here's some more.



My old Guijia is now my new Blue Wolf! I unfortunately dropped him and hes' now scratched on this head.


Shaolin because you know they will be coming out with new ones.

 

Finally! after years of the minimal colors for a tournament, literally years, I've finished my remotes! I went with same colors but different schemes to make them easier to identify on the table. I can still ad some detail to the bases but I'd like to do all of my figures at once with that.
