    He's probably my favorite Chief model. ;)

    Mine too, but I do like the guy holding the scythe up in the air, too.

    Well, here's my current project. I wanted to make a fleet of these guys. Three of them just don't seem all that effective. Six on the other hand...

    Those are going to look so good. I love the new terradon models. Can't wait to see what you do with them! :)

    Unfortunately, they're way too expensive! I'd totally have more of them if they weren't $60 for three!

    The plan is to paint two of the unpainted grey ones like the others but the unpainted one in the middle I was going to paint as an albino Terradon (Zwup) ridden by Tiktaq'to. We'll see how that turns out.

    That will look really good. The albino terradon should be a good challenge. I've always felt that painting white was difficult.

    True. I think I'll start with a khaki color, then layer it up with Ratkin Flesh, then a pink wash for the wing areas (maybe around the eyes as well) and a light grey wash for the body, then a Ulthuan Grey drybrush. I'll post WIP pics and see what ya'll think.

    Wow, I was looking up images of albino animals, and I came across this image of a half albino turtle. I just had to share it! Man! I kinda want to paint another Bastiladon like this! (But I really don't need another one...)

    This turtle looks cool. Maybe if I get my bastiladon...

    Hey, that's why I posted it here. I thought it might serve as good inspiration for someone.

    Here are a few WIP pics of the Terradons.

    This is after a base coat, layer and wash.

    And this is Zwup after another drybrush.

    That's as far as I was able to get last night before I had to go on baby duty. I'll try to get more done, but that might get more complicated because my son will be coming home from the NICU today! And my last girl will be coming home on Monday! Finally, after 4 months in the NICU, all four of my Quadruplets will be home with us! We are incredibly excited, but it will more than likely put a serious hamper on how much I'm able to get done! Worth it though! :D

    Hi. Really like what you are doing. Like I said in the other thread one can make something out of the models if the skills are there! And that's what you did (or are doing).

    That's a couple of really great pictures you've posted. An army from the skies. They're turning out very well so far.

    Congrats on your family coming home!
