Alright guys, back again after a bit of a break over crimbo, been chippig away at a few projects and heres wot i have so far


Waterfall - at the moment this is just a practice piece in making realistic natural bases, am goin to try to emulate cascading falling water, its either going to be a spring theme (with cherry blossom) or a winter them (with snow and ice), not too sure yet am also thinking about making a small raid on hasslefree to buy their Hanako geisha ninja mini
any suggestiosn for places that sell light pink coloured scatter/flock would really help!

PH Marine backpack, finally got hold of some acrylic tubing, had to heat it and stretch it to get it to the right diameter, still lots of work to do on this as well, the tubes are goin to end up being alot shorter and have end caps and prob some tubing connected to em. thanks to a suggestion from demonherald am lookin at capillary tubes as the acrylics ones iv made arnt quite uniformally the right shape or diameter.
Am looking for This type of effect

I LOVE the diorama base!!!

Big :WOW: for the fighting gobbos! Now that's something I like!

Ah, I like the whole diorama, too. (but the gobbos even more)

The more I look around here the more familiar 'faces' I see.

I was wondering what you were planing for that base you entered in the base design contest. (Which, btw, I voted as the best entry!) Now that I see what you are doing with it I must say I love it. Fighting gobbos! What a great idea.

Yay for the gobbo sculpts, they are looking great as does the reat of the post, my Mrs really likes the bases as she wants to have a go at making me something for my mini's

Those bases are excellent. Not much else I can say about it.

great basing/modelling skills, I wish I had some too

I really dig the fact that the WL's are interchangeable for different weapon sets. Simple poses on them but quite effective. I am looking forward to seeing how you paint those up.

Cheers for the kind words guys, really appreciated!

@Damnedfist - thanks for the vote mate, nice to see a bit of honest voting

I love the time and dedication you give each of your models, to give them a really unique base. Its awesome, i can tell the japanese lady is going to be so atmospheric. Great work dude keep it going
