Weekend WIPs

This weekend has been a really fast one again. The end of a weekend feels like the chill of winter coming, but without the Christmas-sy feeling.

I did get some hobbying done, as well as other interesting distractions.

Viktorias

I finally got down to assembling the Viktorias fromj Malifaux. These are a friend's models and i plan to paint them up real soon. The irony of the difficulties in assembly cannot be better expressed by the two sisters.

The sister on the left was easy to assemble. Actually no assembly needed lol! I just glued her to the base. The one on the right was a bit of a pain to put together. The hand joints are so small i could not do much pinning. And she's kinda floating above the base at the moment hehe!

A Japanese Castle
I went to Taka on the weekend and got this foam architecture set for cheap. They were having toy sale again :)

The instructions were clear and i did not break too many of the joints :P


The model is that of the Himeji-Jo Castle in Japan. Its one of the oldest castles and i think its really beautiful.


Other view of the model. It looks like a real nice place to live.

Ultramen!
I also got meself 2 Ultraman figures. They are for a mad project i'm planning to do up using my leftover miniatures. Below are Ultraman Powered on the left and Ultraman Great in the right. I hope to make my next proxy army great and powerful muahaha!

I'll be proxying an Ultraman themed army. Will be using leftover Imperial Guardsmen and Karskin to represent the Science Patrol dudes. As the Science Patrol have Superguns, i'll be using them as counts as Pink Horrors of Tzeentch :) The Ultramen will be my Lord of Change.

I'm dangerously bored from being too tired to paint due to work commitments...

Somethang 40K!
I've been kinda workin' on my Fantasy Wood Elves army as my gaming group is playing more Fantasy these days. But i've gone back to give my Black Templars some TLC.

Am working on my group of 7 Assault Terminators. Gonna paint up all the white areas of the models first. Then slowly work my work to the rest of the details. Also got 10 Shooty Termis to work on after that. Am making a Termi heavy army- The Sword of Sigismund!

Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend! All the best for the next week all!

Misaki

Asian Heroine!

The miniature itself was a bit of a nightmare to assemble. The halberd pole was really flimsy and the arm it was attached to did not fit well onto the main body. The feet pegs were also off and some greenstuffing needed to be done heheh!

But the overall concept of the miniature was a good one. It reminded me alot of General Guan Yu's pose. Am painting this up for a gaming buddy of mine :) Hope he likes it.


Back view. She's lean, mean and muscular at the same time. It was a bit of a challenge painting her because of all the small details. But then again it could be also because I have not painted much for a while :P

She's almost done except for some highlighting and washes. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Till next time, whenever that may be, take care everyone!
