The Christmas Painting Exchange

[gdaybloke]

We've had the forums up for several days now, but I haven't seen hide nor hair in terms of the minis exchange that was set up on the old boards

I'm curious as to how it's working out for everyone.

I have Primalxx's Teraph underway (those bloody little front legs are a sod to get sitting flat), where are the other participants at?

[bluecardinal]

I thought I saw Tonyzahn post a new thread about it but can't find it now. Anyways, I have my model and hope to prime it tomorrow and then get started. The weather has been terribly windy and cold, hence I couldn't prime.

Cran777 has my model and is working on it. I think it would be cool to get a few WIP shots of everyone's model. I should have one up by the middle of next week.

[Capsfan34]

You need to stop painting and bring your arse to Aardvarks to get stomped by my angry elves... LOL


and yes I am talking to you Bluecardinal

[komodokeeper]

I started the idea and hope everything's going well for everyone...Kinda lost touch with wierdoboy after the forums switch, but his 2 mini-beasts are looking cool. Not what I was expecting them to look like tho

[crann777]

As bluecardinal said, I've been working on his model over the last week or so. Haven't touched it since Thanksgiving, what with all the shopping deals out there, but I'm definitely on track to make the Christmas/New Years deadline.

edit: Because apparently nobody appreciates taking the time for WIP photography. *sniffle*

[tonyzahn]

I had posted something, but I think it got lost in all the Hordes MKII excitement.

[NecroticDischarge]

I have Russians piece looking pretty good. I didn't put the right address down and got my package I sent him back it should be getting to your house anyday now Russian. Don't worry about getting it back to me though take your time. I can manage with only one bloaty for now.

Oh good, I was scared you were talking to me for a second... and I don't know anyone named Aardvark, let alone where they live... but I'll take any suggestions you feel like PMing me about Retribution

Also, spoilers!

Awesome to see a WiP! I'll try to make some picworthy progress on the Teraph once I'm done writing up tomorrow morning's battle report for WMHC2 for Lost Hemisphere.

I had posted something, but I think it got lost in all the Hordes MKII excitement.

Understandable, I'm having trouble giving airtime to non-MkII posts on the blog right now, with my contributors and I wanting to get our MkII impressions up while they're still relevant.

Looking forward to seeing the results of everyone's labours!

[Weirdoboy]

I'm here. Got a primed horse that's looking to get some paint here in the next week.

And yeah kinda caught up in the mark2 shenanigans.

[russianpaladin]

I am hoping the Bloat arrives tomorrow. mail center had 4 days off due to the holiday and this is my short week coming up so 5 days of painting to come I hope.

[randall3rd]

I'm still waiting for the mini to get to me... but it was coming from up north, so with Thanksgiving, I should be expecting it next week.

[komodokeeper]

Thanks guys for sounding off....let's me know we're all still going, don't forget these are all supposed to be postmarked for return unless arranged between everybody. In other news, regarding Wierdoboy's mini-beasts. . . . does anybody know what green and yellow have in common with each other, but not the shredders I'm painting... details coming....sometime

[Rave0183]

I have Tonyzahn's mittons (shyeel battle magister), primed...and painting. Just trying to decide colors and make my mediocre skill compared to his look like something he wont be ashamed to put down on the table with the rest of his fantastic army...

On a side note spoiler....this elf...will be a drow...evil grin

WIP Teraph

[tonyzahn]

That teraph is looking really nice.

I've been debating whether I should take some WIP pics or not. It's always fun to share, but I think I'd like to surprise Rave when they're done.

[gdaybloke]

I say go for it

Has anyone seen primalxx? I'm wondering if he got my Impaler

[captainspud]

WIP pics ruin the surprise!

DOWN WITH WIP PICS!

*RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!*

*RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!*

Is this where I point out that you're not involved? Everyone knows who's painting for them, and by and large have given directions as to the paint schemes.

[captainspud]

I stand by my salient point:

NecroticDischarge,

Tubby arrived today, sadly he is now in recovery from surgery. 2 legs came loose, so I pinned the suckers back on. I have a spare MoW Drakhun shoulder which I am going to drill through and green stuff or superglue to paint up like a victim which will also give a good stabilization point for the legs instead of those tiny points. i have a 3 day weekend coming up so with some effort I should be nearly done on Sun and have pics to you soon.

[gdaybloke]

Apparently being home sick really boosts my painting productivity. I may well be able tofinish the Teraph tonight.

[russianpaladin]

necrotic, send me your email so I can get you the first of the WiP pics. photobucket and I are having issues w/ posting

[russianpaladin]

well the flesh is done after 4 hours and 3 episodes of the A-team. metal is well on the way then just the corroded bronze (that's the tough part) btw. no metalics being used for this gotta love Cry Havok magazine for inspiration sometimes.

Looking to be done Friday night on Tubby and with luck in the mail by Sat. This is alot of fun, we should fire up round 2 after the new year.

[gnam]

I've got Randall's Madrak on my painting desk, it's all built, cleaned and primed.. so I'm expecting to start working on it this weekend.

I'll post some pics once it's started!

[russianpaladin]

Just got to do the slime on the cnnon and the base. Not sure about making the legs rusted, I need to consult my tutorials on that. Should be in the mail on Sat back to you Necrotic. I'll keep you updated. I love days off when I can sit for 8-12 hours and do nothing but paint.

[Rave0183]

TAINTED WITH DISEASE! WASH IT WASH IT! YOU'RE SPREADING SWINE FLU!

ok..in all seriousness...i agree with

*RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!*

I don't want to see it...and if you want to post it tony...you let me know when you do so i dont look at the forums! LOL. Mittons is coming along well..having issues on color choices but im workin on it. Might throw in a little cryx flavor

[NecroticDischarge]

Yeah awesome I actually have to get. Better camera as I want to capture this irusk I painted for posterity. He is badazz. Raymondcharnack@yahoo.com

[gdaybloke]

Teraph's done! Wheee!

[NecroticDischarge]

If you decide to do some rust I dig the pantina look. Not sure how to get this sized correctly.

[russianpaladin]

The bloat thrall is d-o-n-e, based sealed and packed very ingeniously if I do say so myself. Necrotic I am pleased to tell you that I have not painted a fig this good in almost a year (my Karchev came out pretty darn good). I look forward to round 2.

[crann777]

Orin is finished, and I must say, I really outdid myself with this one. *pats self on back* Bluecardinal, you are in for a holiday treat.

I'll wait to post pictures until bluecardinal has it in hand. Don't want to ruin the surprise, now do we?

[NecroticDischarge]

Will be finishing and mailing Eirusk tomorrow on my day off. Have been obsessed with a wazdakka gutsmek conversion the last two days. I purchased a chopper bike model along with two hemicuda 504 big blocks to convert into an Ork bike. It looks retadded awesome!

[Exemplar's_Gaze]

I really want in on the next one! My friend is Rave0183 and he is really enjoying painting something new, as you can tell.

And you are welcome for the Drow idea and the base, ya big jerk! You would never help me paint MY elves...rabble

I've got 19 people doing one at my store. They all gave me their models, I randomly distributed them (making sure no two people were painting for each other). Finished models should start arriving at the store tonight - I'm rather excited

[Tuckers]

I think I would like in on a round when it come a-round. Tee hee. I made a pun.
