On your priming tutorial, you mentioned that one of the advantages of your priming system is that it lends itself to painting by tinting. Is that how you normally paint? I'd love to see a step-by-step one day. <br /><br />Cheers!astrochelonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18119437014692377544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713233528414337607.post-17958779580190744592014-01-06T03:03:18.587-08:002014-01-06T03:03:18.587-08:00Cheers Saturday!Cheers Saturday!Delaney Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648233464982438742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713233528414337607.post-87716801118170432092014-01-06T02:41:33.884-08:002014-01-06T02:41:33.884-08:00Lovely.

Morbius has been leading my undead since I were a lad, and still manages to keep that finger pointing. Skeleton war machines was my first box set, and as such has a special place in my affections. The undead ranges of that period as most likely my favourites of all time.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713233528414337607.post-75575661314601182152014-01-06T02:22:48.410-08:002014-01-06T02:22:48.410-08:00Holy Shitballs he is good!Holy Shitballs he is good!Delaney Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648233464982438742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713233528414337607.post-55864724613875883142014-01-06T02:19:41.037-08:002014-01-06T02:19:41.037-08:00I would like to join in Rob's praise of Morbiu...I would like to join in Rob's praise of Morbius' cloak of multiple hues; very artfully realised (as is his translucent skin). Reminds me rather of what Hans is doing over on realmofcitadel.blogspot.co.uk, which is no bad thing. Can't wait to see more Undead and the forthcoming Broos.

I have produced some horrible stuff because of reasons out of my control- horrible art directors, politics, technical issues, short schedules... etc. However, as you said, he simply failed to produce one good model, and kinda poisoned the 90s citical mini ranges for me.<br /> Nick Lund is often critized for his sloppy work, but underlying it is a sense of weight and character- and even he did produce some classics during his short stay- such as Morpo or Ugezod.<br />I would say of that era I would place Olley above Trish, Trish above Lund, Lund above Morley- but these would be my lowest ranked of that era. Olley has risen to godlike status to me now, his Scrunts and Dwarfs do it for me. Whilst Trish occasionally hits, and her detailing is fantastic- to my tastes she mainly misses in the core posing and weight dynamics of her models. I feel bad for saying this, but... you know... kinda nice to get it out. :)Delaney Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648233464982438742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713233528414337607.post-52078536427855642682014-01-06T01:18:19.601-08:002014-01-06T01:18:19.601-08:00Beautiful.

I read somewhere that he was paid per sculpt and so banged them out in a rather workman like fashion. You would think he would have produced something neat at some point.Rob_Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04172318344556547199noreply@blogger.com
