Iron Warrior Raptors and the Dark Apostole

Hello! I got the last bit of the Iron Warriors commission done... The Raptors and one piece of Dark Apostole, to back the army up in the fields of battle. Here's the pics!

It's been awhile since I've been doing any metal minis... It was weird to feel the weight of these big guys... and try to assemble them :) Really nice and beautifully sculpted miniatures...

Here's the squad from different angle, to show the bases better... I made a decision to paint the base in the theme of the Raptors, with some glow and sparks from their Jump Packs. They came out Ok!

Here's the Dark Apostole. This was my first experience on the "Fine Cast" line of miniatures... and if I have any say in the matter, it was allso the last one. I mean, now I realize what's all the fuzz been about... Cutting this fella out of the sprue was a surgical operation. The material breaks up really easily, and the casting excess was plenty.
After cutting, I did'nt get the pieces stick together with any glue. Finally I succeeded with some Citadel super glue and Army Painters glue activator... And finally... the paint did'nt stick to it. After washing the mini with Fairy, I got it primed with Army Painter Dragon Red. (Phew!)

Well... all ended up Ok. And the result was satisfying...

One more group shot... Bye now!

WH40K: Small Watch Tower out of a Spray Bottle Cap

Hi there! I was in the mood to make some scenery for a change, for I got inspired by a spray bottle cap on my hobby table. I just saw in an instant what needed to be done... And here's what happened :)

I got some cheap materials laying around. I used some thin cardboard (for vertical supports and hand rail), grilling sticks (for rivets and ladders), and some mesh + kapa-board to make the grill. Everything but "rivets" were assembled with hot glue. To attach the small rivets I had to use some white glue.

All was covered with Mephiston Red.

And after some washes and high lights I had myself a small Watch Tower. I added some
40K skull bitz to finish the look :)

Side view...

And finally with a marine, to give some scale of this... That was fast, cheap and fun. I should make more of these :)  Bye now!

Blood Bowl: Witch Elf

Hi there! Short posting this time :) Here's a taste of my new project... I was asked to paint a Dark Elves team for Blood Bowl. I had to start with this one... one of my favourite minis in BB, the Witch Elf.

More to come soon... Bye now!
