The diary of a painter and modeller. Mad enough to paint other peoples models if they give him the right amount of Eye of newt, er I mean money.

Keep your Eyes Shut!
Hello Again! This time I'm showing you the Well of Souls from my Barrow Kings army. Built to represent the Casket of Souls from the army book this is based on the Arcane Ruins scenery set and some other bits and pieces. The well itself is from the Mines of Moria set (the one that has a noisy piece of rusted armour dropped down it) the spirits are spirit hosts from the Vampire Counts. Once I'd built the rest of the model I glued the spirits to there positions then connected them to the well with milliput carrying on the decayed cloth motif they have on their vestments on their trails. Actually this was quite easy to achieve with the right tools.

Loves Labours Lost
Hello Again.
Just want to show you my wicker man, this was a real labour of love which is why it was a real shame but I had to sell this army recently because of a sudden financial emergency.
But ah well ce la vie, built over an armature the main body of the model is milliput which I then pressed cocktail sticks into to give it the vertical slats. The cage and man are actually from the Giant sprue, I considered trying to find a policeman model but decided that would be very silly. The flames were rolls of green stuff sculpted to the shape desired.

On a Dark and Wintery Evening
Hi there the titan is going to need a few repairs so instead I am going to show you an Undead Werewolf I did for my themed Tomb Kings army.
The Idea for the army is that it is an ancient celtic style army with all sorts of cool undead creatures to stand in for the constructs.
The model is based on a Broodlord with a Dire wolf head the rest of it was sculpted on. I had to refer to anatomical drawings of Humans and Dogs to try and get the right musculature, I used this model as a Tomb Scorpion.
The army got nominated for best Army at Heat 2 of the WFB Grand Tournament.In my next post I'll show you the Burning Wicker Man I did for the army as a Bone Giant.
Hope you like it!
More Pics after the jump.
