Awesome-O Live-Wip 2

The socket is ready I think, I'll paint the edges black in the end.
Some people start to live inside this little world...some very tiny people :)
Thanks to Roman, who inspired me with his little scenes, I got myself a bunch of this small men.

Awesome-O Live Progress...

I'll update the progress on Awesome-O every few hours until he is ready, I guess.
Bought some crew for him this morning, decided for a socket, started to paint him.
Scratches, scratches...oh god so many scratches left.

Awesome-O Wip

I...can't...see...those...rivets...ANYMORE!!!!

Ok, glue them to a big 1:24 Bus, no problem.

Glue them to a complete tank...there may be way more interesting things but no big challenge in that.

(You see...I use this stuff really often)

BUT glue them to an egg...thats another story^^

Think I never was so careful about a mini, its damn fragile.

And as always, primer blends tons of garbage together and one could think there was actually any plan behind this.

Tomorrow is the big day of coloring that little fella.

Meat, Blood and Eastereggs...

Some of you will know Hackepeter, I decided do redo some things and take better photos of him.

He also joined the Golden Vinci Painting Contest, have a closer look to a nice blog, dedicated to the world of miniatures: http://dievincis.blogspot.de/

Now this guy is really finished, no more work for him.

If you'd like to vote for him, you can find him here at Cmon:

Today I also started a small new project.

Thanks to Massive Voodoo and their crazy contests, I took a chickens egg and made something...strange out of it :)

The Easter Season Contest has no rules, but to do something with an blown out chickens egg.

Hell, I love such tasks.

This thing really saved my day, for I was kind of depressed and felt broken. Moritz and me crossed a bush, full of colored easter eggs and I decided to fight against my bad mood and do something.

If you wanna do the Easterbunnies work, you'll need the Easterbunnies tools...(Who knows the movie? :) )

And here he is, the brand new Awesome-O-MVE-20-12.
Fearsome war-machine, butler and new mascot to our Blog.
Tomorrow I'll add some rivets and wires and start the painting, not much time left till deadline.

The Fallen - WIP and Painting Night results

Good Morning to everyone!

Moritz and I are having a little challenge for ourselves, we like to call it painting marathon. From yesterday evening on, we paint and paint, as much as possible. 

Only reasons to stop are eating, a minimal amount of sleep and some hours of enjoying the sun.

This will go on until Monday evening for Moritz, until Tuesday evening for me.

The joy of colors is back, my hands start to shiver again, while not holding a brush and my head is bursting from ideas.

As I hoped, Paris was some  end of my bad time, some place to regain strength and happiness.

First some WIP- shots of the fallen one: 

Moritz decided to sketch out some big cannon for his chaos dwarf army:

Kind of tired, but glad.

Soon Moritz should arrive and I'm ready for another painting session. Let's see how far the fallen one gets today, there'll be pictures for sure.

Have a nice day everyone and enjoy the spring!

Painting night

As promised, some results of today's painting night.

I decided to prime an old project once more, an fallen Dark Angle.

I want to practice the blending technique Georg taught me, so there will be no wet in wet at this guy.

This is really new and exciting and for sure it is fun.

Glittering gifts and friends

Yesterday I received a gift from a good friend.

She works at some jewelry store and had a big bag with broken things.

I think much will end as basing material, some things will have their place at a new book cover.

She told me such bags are also sold there from time to time, so maybe you'll get a chance to have one too if you visit such stores.

My collection of jewelry, cogs and chains grows and grows, this weekend I'll visit a junk market to get some more.

Yesterday also was the last evening Georg was here, we had a bunch of friends with us. I wasn't able to paint, which felt really bad and I sure was angry with myself, but sometimes there isn't the right mood to take your brush.
Some old stuff, memories, stupid thoughts and feelings trouble me this days.

It was a strange day for sure, many people I like with me, good meals and a nice gift, but also this damn feeling of depression. 

Well, let's see what today will bring, me and Moritz will have a painting night.

Read you soon
