Started a new Photobucket account...so here we go:

Ben, I see your two figures, and raise you a GORT!!

by **supervike** » Sun Sep 14, 2008 6:42 pm

Here are Boromir and Kermits' Entries, just so they are easier to find!

Nicely done Ben!!

I sure hope there are more than just us two!

Harvey? you out there?

Hydrissian Kid?

Thanks Supervike. I'm at work, so I can't see you're photos yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so (if they are as good as your other stuff I don't have a chance! :wink:

)

I hope there are more than just us... it was fun painting them anyway.

Ben.

Ben.

I agree. I'm getting rusty at painting, to be honest, so it was a good exercise.

I'd be willing to vote to push the deadline back if we got any late comers.

If you folks don't make yourself heard soon though...

Wow Supervike! If those paintjobs are you getting rusty then... :cry:

hehe

You have to tell me the paint scheme you used for the Mephalians' skin. It looks outstanding.

Cheers,
Ben.

Regarding the flesh color of the Mephs.

I painted a basic grey all over the flesh, then built up the highlights by just adding white to that base. Once I was done there, I increased the shadow depth by just adding a darker shade of grey in a very thin wash. A couple of applications of that is necessary.

But, the last step, really doesn't even show up on the photo at all. I took a very thin (like 15 parts water to 1 part paint) bright purpleish color (the same color I used for the armor bits) and did a few layers of wash over the whole skin area.

What this seems to do is pull all the colors together and give a smoother overall look.

I did a very similiar thing with the gorts skin, but I washed it first with a green color, then with a bluish purple. I really like the effect, but it's very subtle and hard to see in photos.

I sure wish I could take bright, clear, crisp photos like you do!!

Thanks for the paint scheme Supervike, I really like the result.
The Gort is bloody outstanding!

Ben.

Nice entries guys! Winners by default

Did this ever go up on TMP or TGN? I kinda didn't realize it was happening. :oops:

by **ForgeCaster** » Tue Sep 16, 2008 8:05 pm

I guess that I should extend the deadline since many Forgers did not see it on the forum. How long should we extend it?

I'm fine with Boromir and Kermit and Supervike winning this one, they were the only two (three?)paying attention

"Let the Wookie Win"

LOL.

Too bad there aren't others who entered

And yea, you can belittle me for not entering... but my mini's are buried somewhere in the garage under all the stuff that got moved into the garage for the remodel.

But the two Entrants stuff looks GREAT!

I need more Mephs.... but then again who doesn't

by **Boromir_and_kermit** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 6:01 pm

I'm happy for whatever.
Ben.

So, are we extending the deadline?

by **ForgeCaster** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 9:11 am

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was away in the wilderness without electronics shooting my flintlock at the enemy. I would like to extend the deadline if we can get some of the crazies who are silent here on the forum to post figures they are painting.
