1000 Hits Post repost

It finally happened! One of my posts reached 1000 hits. Guess who's popular? The good old Pyramid Head did his duty well and attracted a lot of people. Thanks to all of you out there for all the hits.

Here is the link to the post

Pyramid Head pt.2 - Painting

And to celebrate himself he gets some more shots right here. Enjoy his sexyness.

Just trying to live - Just trying to survive!

It's time for another update. If been pretty busy for my standards and finished my eight surviver models. So without further yaddayadda here they are

First the groupshot and then all of the guys in spotlight.

Silent Night

Before 2012 ends I have a small update. Managed to get all Bases redone and took some pics. Pics are bit dark but that's mainly because its winter.

Halloween Horrors

I'm back in less than five months. Who would have thought that?
An right on time for Halloween I managed to get some models painted up. First up I finished these three as I call them Siamese. I still think they miss something even if it's just painted eyes but I'm not good at that.

 

Grocery WIP

Got some progress to show. It's not much but I glued some supplies in place.

Got Wood?

Hello together! I did some more small scenery stuff. This time it's some wood palettes. Each one is made of a popsicle stick.

Busy Easter

As I told I've been busy with working in my Silent Hill stuff. I added some more details on the Burger like the gras in those plant pots and some shattered Glas. Also painted the Walls and floors with some washed to make them look older.

Distraction of the Day - Silent Hill HD

So the HD Collection of Silent Hill 2 & 3 was released last week and I bought it yesterday.
Also the new Silent Hill Downpour came out but I wait until it gets a little cheaper.

I bought it although there are many voices out there saying it's a bad version (mainly because of SH3 redubbing) but as a true fan I just had to buy it.
So now I'm traveling back in memories and start playing SH2 again.
Don't worry I am still working on the modeling part of it but this gives me the great opportunity to regain some inspiration, especially on the Blue Creek Appartement.

Cheers

You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?

I'm nearly done with the Silent Hill Burger. Just the interiors are missing like the toilets, the registers and some stuff laying around on the floor.

Spring is my love

Spring has arrived! At least on the calendar because this morning I had some ice on the car windows. I mean really?! Is this still necessary?
But I love spring time; the days are getting longer, the weather is getting better and the skirts are getting shorter again.
Here's an old track I liked when I was younger, heard it again on a 90ies Party this weekend. Oh sweet memories.

No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I pretty much like this song and I indeed did paint someting black yesterday: My Silent Hill buildings. Well most of them. Only the Blue Creek Appartement is left. So hit the play button and onto the pics.

Winter sleep is over

Finally I got my ass up again for blogging. I've been not completely lazy and got some progress on various projects. First of all I got the last two Todbringer completed and ready for paint. I especially like the Forgeworld Heavy Stubber that I found deep down in my bit box.

Living Houses pt.1.4

Hey dudes we had some sunshine this morning and I took the chance to make some pics.

Lickers done

...finally. I'm happy with the bases and how they turned out. So here they are in all their glory, ready for some killing.

Lickers pt.3

I found some time to do some painting. After some thinking I had to agree with Andys respond on my last post and dropped the idea of adding some dingelings (kinda like that word). So here they are finished.

Another Milestone and a cry for help

So it's time for an update and for post number 100!! Another small milestone.

Again I thank all of you passers by and especially Andy and Fran. No drinks today, had too much of them last night. SWMBO even drew stuff on my feet while I was sleeping and I didn't notice anything. But now on with some news about modeling.

Lickers pt.2

My thumbs are healed and I had some time to make progress one the Lickers. I filled gaps with GS, basecoated them black and gave them a coat of GW Red Gore. Some may ask now "Why is he converting Bloodletters to monsters that don't are Bloodletters but then paints them red, just as Bloodletters?"
The answer is quite easy. I want to paint them in a skin tone and while most tutorials for painting flesh use a first coat of brown I use a first coat of red. It's because I take nature for reference and below our skin there is blood and flesh that is red and not brown. I used this technique already on the Pendulums, Urien Rakarth and Burned Alessa and I was all pleased with the results .

The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears

The Tears:
My three week holiday is over and I'm back at work. And because it is not enough that my desk got magically filled with work over this time I just realized that SWMBO tricked me. We have been four times shopping (two times to ikea and two for clothes) but I did not have a single hobby day!

The Sweat:
We had pretty hot temperatures around here the last few days. The good weather was perfect during my holidays but I didn't spend the amount of time outside that I wished because I had to take a shower every five hours or such to cool down and get rid of the sweaty smell. Fortunately it got colder last weekend. Actually it got that cold that I changed back from shorts and shirt to jeans and sweater.

On the road again

Wow this is Post No. 75. For some of you out there this is a tenth of your followers but for me this is a massive waypoint. Let's see if I get the 100...
Managed to get the Road tiles glued together. Down time of Blogger gave me some more time for the hobby and to enjoy the weather outside.

Manhole covers and Blog styling

I made these just do detail my road tiles a little. They are made of spare plastcard pieces that are leftovers from a movement tray I built some time ago. Fortunately I didn't throw them away so now they make quite good manhole covers.
