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 ...

I think oyumaru is what gets relabelled in the west as 'blue stuff'.

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? :lol:

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: 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.

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.
