    Hey there,

    on another side. Some of you guys from germany?

    Here comes my first marathon cruiser from Halo Fleet Battles which I'm ok with

    My first take on that model wasn't quite as good. Seeing that I realize I quite evolved in painting

    When I'm home I take more pics of my painted minis!

    Yep. I think there are one or two more, and some almost-Germans (from Austria or so :D) as well.

    Nice cruiser!

    I started with the 3d sculpting based on the TWW2 Saurus and got very frustated with myself. Well guess who's gonna spent more time on the PC the next months :D.

    i also did some pics of my most "recent" space marines. (4 years old). I hope my Lizardmen come soon

    Sorry if I spam but this is way too much fun.

    (On another note: Can I post conversion blogs here too or is it forbidden?)
    I made a simple head piece but the printer service said it's too small. So back to tinkering or setting it on a sprue with other LM gimmicks :)
    [​IMG]
    Meanwhile I convert some Cold Ones to have more raptor like arms (they just seem weird to me)
    When the glue dries and the first piece of green stuff hardens I sculpt the arm and claws

    #Motivationalpost:

    Not really progressing on painting.
    I just kept on building stuff together and using green stuff:
    Feathers mass production for something special:
    [​IMG]
    The Start Collecting Pack could at least contain another "new" body well gonna sculpt myself one now:
    [​IMG]
    Giving DE Cold ones some Lizardmen armour:
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    I have very little time at the moment so I propably won't hit my monthly goals... but well.. having fun is what counts?

    ^ you can use a nail file or something similar to sharpen up the flat sides of the green stuff after it dries a bit.

    Yeah those will be feathers.
    They just need to be cut out. I'm guessing I'll get 3-4 out of one "string"

    Thank you for advice and the compliment.

    I'm still not happy with my work but that might be a problem on my side. Always strife to get a real good quality. But it makes progress real slow as I scrap things on the go and remodel or repaint them.

    Building is awesome. I love tinkering. I find it awesome you have the ability to sculpt a whole new body
