I do something similar with snow flocking... but there's no yellowing.

Eric

Which flocking do you use? Main issue I have is most of the snow flocking I've found is too large compared to scale.

Plus, the yellowing only happens if you dont clearcoat the mini.

Woodland Scenics.

Hello Everyone I would like to join in.

Here:http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/po ... 85859.page is my picture thread with WIP stuff and more angles. I will just post completed stuff here

So I will do a small dump of completed stuff I have done since the start of the year.

[MagickalMemories]

Please, also give a list of the models you have done, rather than JUST pics.
Thanks.

1 Necron Ghost Ark, from China. Cheap as it was, it was a pain to build. No instructions. Missing parts, warped parts and the resin is brittle.
Also a bit heavier than plastic.

The pilot's head was missing so I had to use 1 from a Deathmark. The head is sitting a bit low and the console a bit high. I was thinking about sculpting hair on to the model and painting it blue. Maybe hang a curled, handicap sticker from the front mirror and put a 'flashing turn signal on it. [an inside joke from, primarily, the south.]

I painted details on the guns, but they're hidden. I made the guns movable, but glue seeped down from the endcaps, and glued them in place. I doubt I'll buy resin from China again.

I'll probably make a custom base to support it on all 5 points, not just the 1. I'm using 2 now.









It's a large vehicle, but has 11 crew. 8 points?

[kturock]

And 1 more Annihilation Barge.





1 more Necron Lord.





1 point for the lord and 5 for the barge, 6 more points.

Forgetting the whole "recast" discussion here...
Even from China, are resin recasts cheaper than buying PLASTIC from GW or a discounter? I'd have never thought so.

Eric

[leth]

In general I find that they are cheaper, however for certain things they are not.

Anyway I painted:
18 bikers
Thunderfire cannon
2x Storm Talons
3x Knights
5x scouts
1x coteaz conversion
1x ordos xenos inquisitor
6 henchmen and 3 servo skulls
3 Centurions
and a display board

Eric

Depends on the model. The big ones that are expensive, yes. For example, the big Necron vault retails for $160, is $55 from China. The Arks & Barges are about 40-50% of retail. Some single models are actually the same or more than retail.
No instructions. All pieces are loose bits. Very brittle, hard resin.

Here is a Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons character and a Nurgle Daemon Prince I painted up for 7 points:

I love that shade of purple.
Nice base work, too!

Eric

[hapotte]

Alright guys, points added.

@leth, i've counted your painted list and I came up to 125 points, if I've made a mistake please let me know. For your future work, please post the points of what you've painted with your pictures, saves me some work

Thanks MM!

3 Necron Canoptek Wraiths. 1 pic with flash.
Washed out pic because I used the flash. To dark to tack pics outside and couldn't get good lighting inside.




2 points each. 6 points.

[hapotte]

6 points added to kturock score!

24 Giant Rats, 26 more to go!

Some rats scurrying!






I'm about halfway done, I'll have to finish them next weekend. I've had a great time building and painting these, I may have gone a bit overboard on the paint standard for the rats. The bases need a touch of something more now.
