Dark Elf - WIP Update 4

Heya!

Almost there!

I'm not allowed to post final pictures before the images have been approved by the jury of the contest I want to enter him but I got one last b/w WIP for you. :) I still have to cleanup some areas and if I manage to do and get one in time I will add a "companion" to the base. ;)

Dark Elf Base - WIP 2

Heya!

Just wanted to show a little progress on the base for my Dark Elf. It still needs more glazes for color variations as well as lights and shadows but here's how it looks right now.

Dark Elf and Princess Update

Heya!

As promised yesterday here's an update on my Dark Elfs base.

What happened: After adding some pva glue mixed with baking soda to create some grout almost all the definition and structure of the floor was gone. So it would have been a pain to paint and probably wouldn't look as good. Therefore I decided to re-do the whole base. :D

I didn't have another plinth in that particular size around so I had to modify the one I screwed up. First thing needed to was to get rid of the milliput. Not an easy task when it's already rock-hard. My choice fell on cutting off the upper part of the plinth and that's how it looked like after the operation:

My plan was to rebuild the plinth with plaster 'cause as you can see there wasn't much left of it. ;) In order to support the plaster and give it something to hold on to I drilled some holes in the plint and also glued some paper-clips in random places:

Now I cut out a form shaped like the plinth + wall from plasticcard and glued/fixed it onto the plinth. I thought I took some pictures of that step but it seems like I didn't or lost it - sry for that - but here's how the plinth looked after removing the plasticcards:

Fun part incoming... scratching alle the little stones in the plaster *yay*... not. After 1.5h the floor was done:

Moving onto the wall and stairs... another 2hours later I was finally done (I also added some damage and irregularities to the stones):

Last but not least (primed and basecoated):

...and now it's time to start painting it. ;)

One more thing - besides the base of my elf - I also did some rough sketching on the base of my Princess of Night:

Scale75 - Dark Elf WIP1

Heya!

Currently I'm working on my Dark Elf from Scale75 which I plan to enter in a contest... deadline's in two weeks so not much time left. ;)


This hasn't all been done today. ;) I actually started painting him at the beginning of March

I still have a lot of things to do and/or fix but I wanted to paint... or lets say "sketch" everything as good as possible without it taking too much time and then move to the base.

No sooner said than done!

Worked on his base today.. well.. it didn't go as fast as I wished, I also had some trouble "glueing" the wall onto the plinth... hope it will stay where it is once the Milliput dries. Guess I will know tomorrow. :D But here some pics:





Plan for tomorrow is to do some finishing touches for the raw base, fix some spots like the transition between the wall / floor and start painting it. :)
