Re: Hands Across The Annulii - Avelorn and Chrace
Okay then. Apols if any of these are too big or oddly shaped, they're formatted for instagram. My new airbrush. Really cheap Timbertech thing that a lot of 'it's pretty good for the price!' reviews. It does okay, as far as I know. I only ever had a terrible Testors Aztek thing before, so anything's ...

Re: Hands Across The Annulii - Avelorn and Chrace
I think oyumaru is what gets relabelled in the west as 'blue stuff'. (I like how little they think of the average gamer's IQ that they have to name things 'colour stuff', never mind if it's a completely different product from a completely different source... :lol: ) I got some of the OG product, onl...

Re: Hands Across The Annulii - Avelorn and Chrace
I keep feeling like I'm getting distracted from the main job, but thanks. 
My new airbrush arrives tomorrow. Sounds like it's bringing another round of snow with it. I'm almost frightened of needing a new compressor too - what kind of weather is that going to cause?

Re: Hands Across The Annulii - Avelorn and Chrace
Thanks all! The Last Sword miniatures look amazing. And they seem like great guys (they dropped by on the forum here when they ran their kickstarter campaign), though that's not immediately a reason to like mini's of course. I still plan to use their knights. Well, the horses and rider legs, at leas...

Re: Althi painting log
Holy smokes, that's impressive! Not a brushstroke out of place. Very nice array of blue and gold. I see you trimmed off the extra bowstrings on the lumineth archers, which I wholly endorse. 
All the best for the tourney.

Re: Share Your Snow Sculptures Here!
We had an uncharacteristically large amount of snow last weekend (as in, it's still there, 4 days later, which is pretty unheard of in the Netherlands), so we created our own snowman :lol: I get it. 'One day snow', gone so quickly you barely have time to do anything with it. Excellent stuff, guys.

Nice to see some milliput love. I've been using it for years , back when I started this hobby.

Re: Elves from Nippon and Cathay
Nice concepts.
I've wondered about mixing up some samurai elements with elves, myself.
Making them could be tricky. Best I can think of is to see who makes plastic samurai and see if they scale well with elf bits. Heads especially.
