Turtles are coming!

Well, I was abscent for quiet awhile, too. Like all the other brilliant-working people here around.
Much did happen here, much did I miss. For example Master Erchamion´s fathership . . .
Congrats at this place, Master Erchamion for this miracle in life!
At this place I also would like to show a bit of what´s going on around my workbench. It is not yet finished, I am still working . . .

This is the first pic. A conversion, as you will recognize.

Re: Turtles are coming!

This is the second Halforc. There are more coming around here in the next future . . .
Maybe you will like to stick a bit around here, in the turtle-corner . . .tongue

Re: Turtles are coming!

Great stuff!  big_smile

How do you get that gritty, dark finish?  It looks so good!  You don't use a lot of colour, but yet it leaps off the page.

Hmm - I have much to learn.

Re: Turtles are coming!

Christoph - I just love how you paint your orcs!

My father-in-law once found a turtle (about the size of Nino's) on the road and rescued it.  The turtle now lives in his garden and has eaten a diet of raw chicken meat and lettuce for the past 5 years!  lol

Re: Turtles are coming!

The fourth figure is finished. The C 8 A from the Lost Range as a conversion. The main figure-constellation concretes itself. Still one last miniature to go  . . .

Re: Turtles are coming!

Lovely, Christoph!  But what are you doing with these figures?  Are these all 4 conversions?  Why are some of them looking up towards the sky?

I am in a trance trying to resolve these questions!

Re: Turtles are coming!

And yes, Master Aragorn, all figures are conversion. Also the last one will be a conversion.

Re: Turtles are coming!

So there is one thing left: the composition !
More than difficult this time. The parts have to fit together exactly.
THE TURTLE is finished, still there are photos to make. But I have to go first to DUZI tomorow . . .
Spending days over this composition-thoughts the result should be something like this:

Re: Turtles are coming!

I'm so excited by this!  My patience is being tested Christoph!  lol

I love the sketch book - because that means good things are on the way!

And the conversions are very nice!
