Let´s play a game 2015: Third and last Voting

                     I´m late again, but i guess we have enought time for voting so... here it is the final voting (and maybe the last "Game" in a few years) that we´re gonna have on this blog. The original idea for the previous one was to choose a "way of representation" for the miniature i´m gonna sculpt, and the winner was....: Diorama!.

Ok, maybe mine would be a little... smaller XD

                And about the second voting between both characters selected.... again a tie. Seems that Roy Batty and Ten are gonna fight to the last, so on our third and last voting you will have (again) to vote-select two things:

1. Choose (again) between Blade Runner´s favourite robot and Nearly everyone´s favorite Dokta.
2. Describe the diorama you want for them, in detail. Some of you had described what you want for the diorama already so... do it again XD. Remember, i´m gonna work with your suggestions! :D. Oh, and if someone´s description is of your liking you can vote for it too!!

                Once December is gone the most voted option will be chosen. And i must say, that if AGAIN both characters are in a tie i´m gonna do a Mashup and go along with it. They both deserve a miniature if they tie three times, don´t you think?

                 Ok, you can start now, it´s already mid-December but looking at previous votings you will have time enought.... see you soon!!!

                 Bueno gente, tarde y mal pero aquí llego para esta última votación (si bien es cierto que viendo el éxito de las anteriores creo que sobra el tiempo XD. En la previa mis amables seguidores escogieron el diorama como el sistema deseado para la figura a esculpir, así que ahora sólo quedan por escoger dos cosas:

1. Roy Batty o el Décimo Doctor? Sí, seguimos con esto XD.
2. Descripcion lo más precisa posible del diorama. Algunos ya lo habéis hecho así que... toca hacerlo de nuevo :P. Eso sí, si alguna sugerencia ya dicha os mola podéis votar por esa ;).

              Y pa finalizar aviso: si vuelve a salir empate entre ambos tipos voy a hacer un mashup y tirar palante, que digo yo que si tres veces tienen los mismos votos se merecen ambos el premio de una mini no? :P

                  Sea como sea tenéis hasta final de año, pasado ese plazo ya no habrá vuelta atrás!

                  Nos vemos! :D

A Game of Models 2014: Sculpting (V)

              Weeeeeeell well well, let´s not forget I still have previous year(s) unfinished (technically, unpublished XD) "Game of Models" around, so let´s have a new update!. Enjoy our favorite caped crusader:

               No, it´s not Batman.

Both pieces joined together!

Start of the cape

                     The technique with the cape was simple: A thin (sort of) layer of green stuff, a bit of superglue to strenghten it, and then another thin (i tried!) layer over that one for an smooth result. And shape :P

Let´s play a game 2015: Second Voting

               Well, October (and the first week of November...) came and was gone before we could even realize it, so let´s start the second voting soon so aaaaaall people interested on this can say what they want. After the first voting, two topics where chosen:

• Roy Batty, from Blade Runner

  

  "All this moments will be lost... like tears on the rain..."

• The 10th Doctor. 

"You tell, bro"

              Quite some interesting ideas, indeed! Well, on the second voting you have to do two things: first, choose wich one of the two topics are more interesting. And second, choose the ""technique"" you want me to use on it. Here there are the options:

1. 28 mm miniature
   
2. 75 mm miniature

   

   
   

3. Bust.

   

   
   

4. Battle Scene (Number of fighters might vary, two minimun XD. Also, 28mm ones)

   

   Ok, technically this is a diorama but... they are fighting ok??

5. Diorama (Differs from the previous one in that you can have a diorama with only one miniature, or several without them fighting :P. Again, 28 mm miniatures)

   

   Like this easy one :P

6. Drawing. (Ok, it´s not a miniature, but if you´re interested on it... why not?)

Ok, maybe someting more simple...

       
            And if you want to suggest other option, just say!. When November goes into oblivion whe will choose the two more popular answers for both questions and we will jump into the last voting.

                Ok, hope you like this, see you soon!.

 +++++++++++++++++ INITIATING TRANSLATION++++++++++++++++

                 Bien, Octubre pasó y se fue por donde vino, y llegó de repente Noviembre con sus ganas de bronca y su mal tiempo. Y acabó la primera votación del concurso pa 2015, los nominados, Roy Batty the Blade Runner y Diez, uno de nuestros Doctores favoritos.

                    Ahora toca la segunda votación, y esta vez tendréis que elegir no una sino dos cosas: primero, cual de los dos temas anteriores es vuestro favorito (los replicantes o el Dokta) y segundo qué sistema de, llamémoslo, representación preferís para el "trabajo": 28 mm (los retos hasta ahora), 75 mm, busto, escena de batalla, diorama, o dibujo (en caso de que estéis hasta los huevos de minis XDDD).

                    Llegado Diciembre las opciones preferidas pasarán a la tercera votación en la que... bueno, ya veremos qué hay que escoger XDDD

                     Esperando vuestras respuestas, nos vemos!

Let´s play a Game 2015

                 Yes, ladies and gentleman, here we are again on this time of the year when voting for the next year´s project must start. And yet again you haven´t seen anything completely done... I could say that the Dark Angel is finished minus details, but you had hear that before, so... believe me or not, can´t blame you XD. Anyway, I must start again if i want a new edition done, but this year´s game, like any sequel, comes with new rules and possibilities, hope you like them (or not! :P).

Isn´t beautiful to meet again?

                   The first one is a change: Remember when i said that the idea was finishing the miniature along next year. Well, i had done it more or less, but it simply takes just too much time and next year i´m planning on launching a crusade against my Gigantic Mountain of Unfinished Minis (TM) so... I need time. Resume?: I will START this project next year, but i don´t promise to finish it next year. Yes, i know, i barely do it anyways, but this way at least i don´t feel guilty about it XD.

                   Second, an special rule this year!. Usually I picked up the books or the topics, this edition will be completely your chosing. Had a wish, this is the time!: 

Any wish?

A Game of Models 2014: Sculpting (IV)

                 Sorry for the delay, the Marines are almost ready but they still needs some minor fixes. Anyway, here they are more pictures of the second one! Time to start working on chainmail clothes and power legs! :P

             The arms where a pain in the ass. Pinning got a bit loose so when i was working on them they where always moving. Plus, i had to be sure they where in a good position because they had to hold a sword in the end so...

A Game of Models 2014: Sculpting (III)

              Here we are again folks!. This time, a revelation!: Remember when I said that because I didn´t finish my vow last year, I had decided to "compensate" that fact doing something extra this year?. Not as part of the vow for 2014 (or i would again not finish it) but just as an "extra" thingie for you to enjoy. Well, here it is the extra: Not only one Dark Angel Veteran from the picture am i sculpting, but two!. And of course, here are the pictures of the beginning...

Marine from Black Reach

             This one required a lot more work on the legs. I´m afraid the straight one came too long, but hope it will be barely noticeable when ended.

A Game of Models 2014: Sculpting (II)

                 Just a short update of this fellah, this time mostly showing up my work on the legs

Spiky elbows!

Start of the tunic

A Game of Models 2014: Sculpting (I)

              Hello, everyone! After summer time I come back with new energy and, better still, pictures of this year´s Game of Models!.

                Yes, i promise to finish this one in time.

               Truth be told, since the other one is technically not fully finished, this year I had the idea of compensate my "failure" somehow, and that idea was fully supported when people where not very convinced of which miniature i should sculpt. So... well, you´ll have to wait a litte longer :P. Ok, everything starts here then...

                And no, there will be no forever updates. Just four, five tops. Hope you enjoy them:

Preparation:
               
                Trying to save time (and having a bazillion one-piece marines who probably will never be painted) i decided to use one of them as my base model for sculpting. Here there is the chosen one, with his future self under him: a Pre-Heresy Dark Angel.

From Dark Vengeance

Nurgle Beast (IV)

                Good news everyone!.

              Ok, i needed to use that phrase :P. These are not exactly news in the journalist way, but a new update! This time, the Beast of Nurgle, wich now enters his final stage: only two more updates and done (same as with the warrior, the second one will be the finished miniature, nothing more).

                  Enought talking, more seeying! Now it´s growing hair things on his head!

A Game of Models 2013: Sculpting (VII)

               Well my dear friends, this is coming to an end at last (Truth is, it´s mainly finished except for the usual "bling" details here and there). The only problem is the lack of time because of my showdown with Mr. Von_Drake, or it woul´ve been already finished. You can´t have all...

                 Another thing: there will be only two more updates of this little one, being the last one the finished miniature (to a total of 9 updates). Just in case you need to know. Plus, i promise never to do such a long time WIP.

                 And now, pictures!:

Time for little stuff!

Nurgle Beast (III)

              Ok, here we are at last with a new update! Now, time for this little sluggish abomination i´m actually enjoying sculpting. Time to give he/she/it sight!!

Just a mock-up of the final eye XD

                      Also, I keep working on the rest of the body, mostly the legs. The right one on the pictures is almost finished.

A Game of Models 2013: Sculpting (VI)

                   Well, new year and new updates of this little fellah! Hope this project will not last too much time (Sadly i´m usually wrong on this things :P), but in the meantime, here there are more photos, because that´s what you want ;) :

                       You can see a mockup of the head, and the right arm mostly finished. This is where all starts going slow, since little details take so much time and barely alters the finishing mini (on an overall look, i mean).

New shiny shoulder!

Back almost done

                     A bit more... with both shoulders done and the robe started.

A Game of Models 2013: Sculpting (V)

            Well, someone told me that I hadn´t show any progress on this year´s mini, and ... for the past months I had to admit that was true so... nevermore! it´s time to show you more updates of this Rotten Warrior of Doom! (Also, i´m trying to do "less" updates with more photos, not to end with 20 entries showing little updates, hope you will like this way better ;) ).

                Anyways, photos!: We start with the arm! (again, silver paper core one :P). The legs are almost finished (armour nearly done) but i will come back on them later in this project.

 
                     And now an step by step of shoulder and arm (and spikes for the belt):

Nurgle Beast (II)... and a celebration!

                   Ok, let´s go to the interesting stuff: photos! Time for my little mutant slug to grow a mouth! or a pair... of mouths.

                    Also, working on the lower side of the body.

Mock up of the teeths

 

Let´s play a game 2014: Second Voting

                Ok, i´m a little disappointed of the "impact" of this 2014 game: I was expecting several comments and, surprisingly, only get two (and one after "chasing" the author XD). Anyway, so there are the ways of the internet, sometimes you get feedback, sometimes not. Since i only have two options of the source book for the space marine mini, both will enter the second step. The rules are simple, same as the last year: choose a random age from any of the books here, and i will select the space marine-y artwork of that page for the last voting in December (if there are not pictures on the one chosen, i will look on the closest (up) page for one, and if there isn´t, on the closest down). You can select a page for both books, but if there are too many replies (heh, too many) i will only use the first one given (example: if you say "page x from the first, y from the second" and there are, don´t know, ten or more replies, i will only select the first choice, the "x" page). Ok, i think it´s clear (you can ask if not! XD), let´s see you options:

                Option 1:

Failbaddon strikes again!

  
                      Number of pages: 48

                     Option 2:

The Horus Heresy Holy Bible (or HHHB)

                    Number of pages: 413

Nurgle Beast (I)

                 Ok, this is gonna be a "fast update" of the blog since i´m REALLY busy (stupid interesting online courses XD). Second episode of the, now you know, Nurgle Beast i´m sculpting. It has grow a lot, now he/she/it even has legs!. The different-colored green stuff you can see in the mini are areas that i already "finished" sculpting. I know it´s not exactly the usual way of doing this, but come on, it´s a daemonic creature, doesn´t follow logic!

Mock-up of final position of legs

Sideway Project

             While i wait for more replies for my 2014 Game (being Space Marines-related i truly was expecting a bigger feedback XD) i´m going to show you a little sideway project i´m doing.

                 No, i didn´t forget the Librarian (it´s finished, only needs Photoshop)

                 No, i didn´t forget the warrior of Nurgle, i just... ran out of updates....

                 No, i didn´t forget about the Apocalipse photos! Shut up!

                 Ok, sorry, it´s just that i usually run several proyects at the same time, specially when i´m working with green stuff: After doing a little detail/adding a great bunch of stuff, i left the mini to dry so i end up with, well, "nothing" to do. Working with the Nurgle Warrior one day i just had the "urge" to start this little friend, an idea who has been running through my mind for a long time, so... well, you can see, silver paper and a little liquid green stuff later....

Blurry photo, sorry, took with the phone.

Let´s play a Game 2014

              (La versión española está abajo, pa los que no saben inglés... no me sean vagos...)

           Ok, i know, starting the new "Let´s play a Game" when you haven´t finished your previous one is... well... not very logic. But this game needs three months so hey, here we go again!: 

Weeeee!!!!

                 First: last year´s game it´s going well and i hope i will finish it in time (before 2014, i mean) but... it takes a lot of time. A lot. I only "work" on my hobby on Saturdays, so even fully dedicating myself to the mini, it´s consuming all my minis time. And i like to paint, also!! (Truth be told, that´s because i started on July so i only have six months left. Damn Jake XD). Aaaaaaannyways, this year i´m gonna select a more easy miniature... one mini that can be done converting existing stuff and adding more details (yes, i know that the chaos warrior could be done in that way a bit... but it will take more time that just starting from zero, believe me). Well, my choice for the 2014 challenge will be...

A Game of Models 2013: Sculpting (IV)

               Fourth edition of this series, here we go!. Now, time to finish the chainmail and start with some little details...

Front...

... and back.

          

             The belt is done minus the spikes (that will take a lot...). Chainmail ended quite well, you can see that where the "robes" will be sculpted i didn´t bother making the rings, better save the time for other stuff!. One of the more "eye-catching" details is the one on his right leg, and i wasn´t sure of how it will turn out, being so little, but it actually was really easy to do. I mean, yes, i had to be VERY cautious, and did it in a couple of sessions not to have problems with recently put green stuff, but with patience and a pin (yes, a pin)... well, you can see!:

More details added!
