He's the squad leader, so that makes him the Boss Baby thank you very much.

Decided to paint a small and expensive plastic car for my small and expensive plastic men:

Nice work there. Is the dozer 3D printed? The rest looks completely smooth, Baal Predator IIRC?

Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
The dozer is printed yeah, but so are these parts and the heavy bolters:
The heavy bolters and dozer I just grabbed online, but I made these two parts custom for it.
It is a Baal Pattern Predator. I got it second hand for free, unpainted, fully assembled, and badly assembled with plastic glue. So all these extra parts are ways I came up with the cover up and distract from the assembly. I actually went back today and added a few little spots of rust in places like this where you could still see that melted plastic cement look.

Finally found the time to finish this guy up:

Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
They are some mix of adorable and hilariously awesome in the way the really early RT/40k minis were.

Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
Yeah, they've really got a thing going on there.
Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
That's good to hear, definitely the vibe I'm going for with them. A little silly and a little bit brighter and cleaner than 40k is these days, but without going so retro I was doing bright yellow instead of metallic gold.

With the power of 3d printing I was able to do something pretty cool, a custom faux bas relief greeble
Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
It's cool. I love it. Now you have to do Bas Relief for all your Warhammer Imperium vehicles, you have raised the standard.

Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
To be honest it's so easy to do compared to how good it looks that I'm probably going to find excuses to do more of this.
Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
Are the shadows different color paint or just good "sculpting" on the 3D blueprints?

Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
It's partly both. The detail is there in the print, it's been painted a flat color and 'washed' with a darker shade that ends up in the crevices and brings out details. So the detail is there, but has been accentuated.
Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
Did another one of these, turned out good.

Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
That looks a lot better than the legit GW fancy models.
Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
After a bit of a funk, started actually painting again, this time something in epic's 6mm scale. Still WIP obviously. It took me a while to find a scheme I liked for the dead nids.
Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
Finished it up today, came out better than I had hoped:

Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
I figure this might be the target audience... Reaper Mini does a kickstarter every couple of years to release their miniatures in plastic. The molds to make plastic figures are expensive, but once they're made the cost of making figures is relatively low. So the kickstarter pays for the molds, and backers get a bunch of new plastic minis.
Bones Kickstarter
It ends 4/30. I've participated in the 5 earlier Kickstarters, and have always been satisfied with what has been delivered.

Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
I haven't painted any of my Bones 5 minis. Maybe I should do that so I can show off my shitty paintjobs.
Re: Painting Small and Expensive Plastic People
I like some of the bones minis in that, but I dont need that much unpainted plastic when I've got so much staring at me already.
And yes, you should absolutely paint some of them Bones.

Isn't this the Ral Partha giant skeleton mini from like the 80s ? God that takes me back
Koumei: and if I wanted that, I'd take some mescaline and run into the park after watching a documentary about wasps.

MGuy: The point is to normalize 'my' point of view. How the fuck do you think civil rights occurred? You think things got this way because people sat down and fucking waited for public opinion to change?
