Not on your life.
Look at those musclues & the confident way he's holding that speargun. Clearly, the diver's done this before.
: )

He's going to spear that fish-man, cover the chunks in batter and serve him up to his buddies at a fish(man)-fry.

Haha, good points! But that guy doesn't look like he is going to go down with just one spear. (At least to me) Maybe if he shot him through the head or something. How does fish man fillets taste anyways? ;)

Very nice.
Cheap and -relatively- easy. That's a great way to make terrain. : )

I think the only changes I'd have suggested would've been to press a LITTLE sand into the surface for texture before baking it. Maybe a few small rocks, too.

Nice work, AS.

My Golden Gear Arena Mascot Entry

"Ladies and gentleman! Welcome to Heavy Gear Arena! Tonight is another great Cascade Breweries' TM Free Beer Nights. Even if you don't have a drink, The Kegerator is here to spray the crowd down with his awesome Keg Cannon!.....Young children please exit the Arena at this time..."

Image

This is my entry for DP9's 2011 Golden Gear Contest - Arena Mascot category. One of the sponsors, Cascade Brewery, has an interesting "Free Beer Night" that can help your Arena team gain more Rep during a match. I thought it'd be interesting if they also had a dedicated Gear come out and spray the crowd with some free brew! The Kegerator is based off a stock Hunter Gear, with the addition of some CB flags, a pressurized Keg, and a giant beer cannon.

I love the pointing finger. It's as if he's saying, "Who wants free beer? Do YOU want it?"

Nice.

I really like the models tongue sticking out the side of her mouth.. certainly means "concentration" to me...
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

A small sampling of some of my Necromunda terrain, I had actually assembled these two pieces last year but never got around to painting them. With 10+ tables to fill for this year's Adepticon however, I really needed to get on the ball. I laid down basecoats and some large-pattern weathering with an airbrush. Everything else though is simply drybrushing with a few details picked out on each piece.

Love the mine head...

Is that a plug from the end of a big roll of paper?

I have a bunch of similar items that I scammed from a paper mill that i regularly visit for work. I had planned to use them for Maginot line bunkers.

Mine head.

LOL

At first, I read that with a German accent and translated it as "My bathroom."

I thought, "Wow! That's one heck of a bathroom." lol

Looks good.
