Mierce Miniatures

AndyS

It won't be fully completed until I get the plastic base through with my first starter shipment

AndyS

Cheers Gref!

AndyS

Tim, will you be showing us some of your work?

AndyS

Yes Funky, the do not have a black primer to my knowlege. A matte black but not a primer. When using halfords I found that is was a little dusty and easy ro rub off when handling the model. Army painter uniform grey is the grey I would recommend. Can be touched up with the dropper bottle too.

AndyS

It comes with 2 airbrushes. I was using the side/gravity fed one with 0.3mm nozzle.

AndyS

You're in luck Mercedes, next pics up now! I base coated the trolls with Model Air Field Green and U.S. Light Grey on the belly. http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b590/AndySpeirs/IMG-20130310-00028_zpsaca9afe6.jpg Then I continued with the standard bearer. Working into the flesh a little more to m...

Norse infantry will be ships crew. To go with Erik and kjartan. I hope for a unit of hrafnmen as I didn't go for the champion this time round.

Penda's guard will be awesome. MM have hinted as much!

AndyS

OK, so I couldn't wait to get started with the airbrush once my paints had arrived. So with minimal practice I dived in with something I hoped would be easy. Or at least easy to fix if I messed up! The Troll Vane! http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b590/AndySpeirs/IMG-20130308-00013_zps3f8adabd.jpg...

AndyS

I washed my Trolls in warm water with washing up liquid, using a toothbrush, once they were assembled. This was to avoid getting any greasy fingers on the resin before priming. I dried them with a hair dryer on cool setting and primed them straight after. You can see the effect on my WIP.

AndyS

I had a little test yesterday, there's not a lot of overspray so I should be fine.

Thanks for your concern though guys!

AndyS

I have some more pics here showing the black and while undercoat. http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b590/AndySpeirs/IMG-20130307-00007_zps4a1f39f6.jpg http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b590/AndySpeirs/IMG-20130307-00008_zpsdcd9c8d0.jpg And a scale shot with Meloda http://i1293.photobucket.com/al...

AndyS

I like the black armour and the axe. You need to make the sharp ground down blade different from the main body of the axe blade. Good work though!

AndyS

I owned the original and the original plastic set but that's it. Never really liked 40K.

AndyS

I can do a human. Kara Black (Kara's last stand) or Meloda.

AndyS

I don't have any Space marines mate! lol

AndyS

So here is my first ever WIP post! The Trolls have been undercoated with Citadel black spray with white over the top. Small bursts at approx 45 degree angle and a little from below. This really brings out the detail! My airbrush set arrived today, now I just have to wait for the paint and get some p...

AndyS

I'll be starting a WIP of my Trolls soon. Trying out some new techniques. Just have them undercoated at the moment. Black with white over the top. Need to set up a photobucket account!

AndyS

No shame in copying another paint job. If it's not broke, don't fix it I say! Good work!

AndyS

Shame it stopped Seb from working on this one!

AndyS

You'll have nowhere to keep them Chad!

AndyS

It will be gutting if we don't get there. I don't really want to order him now but if we don't reach 125k I will have to ask MM nicely for one first thing Saturday morning!

AndyS

I think I'll invest in some Vallejo model air paints while I'm at it. They seem to have some good greens for my Trolls. I would like to match the cover art as opposed to the painted models. Although they are amazing too of course!

AndyS

Thanks Gref, probably the best advice I've read yet.

Thanks, I try and keep them varied.

AndyS

I'm no expert but I've been fine on work pc and PlayBook.

AndyS

I hope we get a good heads up from MM for their next KS. Can't have noobs getting all the good deals!

AndyS

Antenocitis workshop has Styrofoam sheets cheaper I think. Not sure about the postage though.

AndyS

I agree with Rick. How did you do the base?

AndyS

Thanks again Bloodwars. I think I just took my time the trousers/pants. That's about a year old now I think.

AndyS

I wouldn't have thought of that but now you say it, it seems obvious. Did you use a backpack of any kind?

AndyS

Meloda

AndyS

Creoda

AndyS

Erik Longaxe

AndyS

Kraan on foot

AndyS

Thanks Bloodwars! You've been a great help!

AndyS

Thanks Bloodwars. Think I'll have to wait till I'm back at work pc. BlackBerry PlayBook not ideal I think!

AndyS

AndyS

I've been trying the second way. How do I tell if I have the whole url? Could that be the problem?

AndyS

Still can't get this to work

AndyS

AndyS

AndyS

Umm, so where am I going wrong? I copied the url address from the top bar and pasted that between the 2 img brackets.

AndyS

Thanks. I tried to use my wamp but it does not seem to work. Just comes up as a link as you can see above!

AndyS

AndyS

No help with this?

AndyS

MM, is there a way to do this without linking to a website? A 'browse' function like you have for adding the avatar would be gteat for computer numpties like me!

AndyS

Banelegions used to put the concepts up before the models were released, and show concepts in Wamps Portal mag. Not too long ago but I miss those days already!

AndyS

And photo of that would be great Tim. Good to know you're looking after us and trying to keep the price down. In my experience some gamers are reluctant to pay for terrain. Even good terrain!

AndyS

Great pics matey, did you just copy and paste to add them? I'm struggling with my Playbook!

AndyS

Oh, I'm Andrew Speirs from the KS btw.
