'Run Mon-Keigh........RUN!!!'

Second part of today's postings. The finishsed product. Finally the Harlie Skyweaver is all finished and set into its mini-diorama (see previous post for a quick tut on that thing). Am really happy how the whole thing came out.

 Quick notes..... The motley was all freepainted after being lightly penciled on with a clutch pencil

The rider's hair was done with multiple glazes on a pure white base. Wanted to try using glazes to get that blended look for a change and gota say, glazes are defintely the way to go for hair. So much easier and a much better look. The blood streaming off the back of the zephyr black was once again BFTBG tech paint and a few more bristles snipped off my dog's toothbrush! I had a bit of a fuckup when I sealed the bike with a spray of purity seal and the metallics all frosted over as well as the gems. That was not fun. Everything else seemed to be ok but I had to repaint the frosted areas with was a pisser. Oh - the Chaos cultist (with my DV theme base) is just a proxy for the moment. The final mon-keigh that will be there is gonna be a running screaming Space Wolf marine. Need to somehow get my hands on one. Buying all the seperate parts for one on a bitz site ends up being kinda expensive just for one fig........if anyone out there has a spare screaming running SW they don't want....lemme know ;)

Anyways - there it is. Took about a month all told I think to do and finish which considering I'm supposed to be planning/organising/getting ready for my wedding in under 3 weeks, ain't too bad!!!

Hope ye like 'em

Cracking the WIP

Quick wee update while I have a few minutes.
Working on one of the new Harlequin Skyweaver bikes at the mo. Seriously gorgeous piece of kit. Been busy as with the upcoming nupts but still managing to sneak in a little brushtime here and there. Few shots of ongoing progress thus far. Was finished with the actual bike but gonna have to go back and redo the gems on the fins as well as some of the metallics due to the purity seal fethign them up and frosting over. Annoying as hell but thankfully fixable. Anyways, here's where I am. Hope you like 'em :)

Harlequin Happiness

Manic trip to Seoul yesterday to go to a wedding festival to get more stuff sorted/booked for the upcoming 'Big Day'. Managed to drag the lass to Orctown for 10 mins to pick up a 'few' things ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Lovely lady got me the Skyweavers as a late Valies present and I grabbed the rest. Can't wait to get busy on the killer space clowns. Gonna be a wee while yet though. Need to finish up the DV Deathwing squad first which is entered in a competition on DakkaDakka. Need to decide on a colour scheme too and how to go about it.  Thinking about the Masque of the Shattered Mirage......Reckon a colour scheme that's fairly classic and works well alongside the Mymeara colours....
