    Hello!

    Well, I don't know how well these images will translate here, but at least it is something!

    I have the sculpted, unpainted version of Baby Babo, constructed in much the same way as the 2 scratch built EoTG's.

    There is also a picture of the painting process at roughly 80% complete. The base he is on is strickly a tournament base, as I needed something with a low profile, given the 30% or more Dwarf gunline saturation of every tournament I play in these days.

    The real base I want for him is much more elaborate, and has him stitting a whole lot higher!

    Here goes!

    and now the mostly painted version:

    schweeet! :D

    however, it could be advisable to make it "fly" a bit higher, to fit some skinks in the ranks closest to it. but maybe you already checked this :)

    I'm flabbergasted. :spiderman: You truly hit every part with Amazing and then varnished it with Awesome! I've been motivated in the past but not like this. I see so many unique ideas and items; I'm just glad it's Friday. It might have been too much for me earlier in the week :D :rolleyes:

    Nice job dude! That's much better than my tette-ekko stand in (I just put the EoG on a 40mm, i'm kinda lazy :p ). One of my friends was talking about your work from the golden daemon competition and I told him that you were on a forum that I frequent. Pretty cool.

    Yes, the little guy was very fun to make, and also fun to paint!

    He has helped a ton in games, as he has let me redeploy units in the random deployment scenario, and also makes my opponents go nuts when they try to deploy in regular scenarios.

    He has done some serious mauling of dwarves with the Comet as well! Thanks for putting all your artillery units nicely bunched up on that hill!

    Phenomenal. Your 2d stuff is brilliant. Can we get some close ups of the sun (with sun spots/flares?)? Also, those snakes are fantastic. Love the whole thing.

    Did you hand paint those things? If you did that's insane, I just woulda printed it out some pictures of supernovas or something and glued them on, lol.

    Awesome looking model though, I'm really impressed!

    I used to paint spacescapes for a living, so all the portals for the EoTG's and Baby Babo were done by hand :)

    Hi, I was wondering if you could help
    Me at all.

    I'm having a go at making a tetto'eko model but with little success, what materials did you use for the palanquin and could you give me
    Any tips on painting space backgrounds.

    Thanks, in advance

    P.S. your model is incredible, it would put anything else to shame.
