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 . . .

Maybe the magic was the most powerful force in the world. But that was long ago.

Re: Turtles are coming!
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 . . .

Re: Turtles are coming!
Great stuff! 
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!
Great idea and and as expected the finished product will be perfect aswell!
Where there is a will there is a way, just as there are no problems, only solutions! Guess it depends on ones own perspective of the matter at that time

Re: Turtles are coming!
Thank you fellows for the encouragement. It´s a hard work this time. This is one of the "key"-figures . . .

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!

Re: Turtles are coming!

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!
Yes Master Aragorn, this is a little secret . . .

Wait some more days. am working, and working . . .
PS: mmmh a bit large, that picture, isn´t it . . .

Re: Turtles are coming!
And yes, Master Aragorn, all figures are conversion. Also the last one will be a conversion.
A Sound! That was my pillow. I have to leave . . .

Re: Turtles are coming!
Ok then,
this is the last figure I have finished to complete THE TURTLE !
Have a look, it is a conversion from the current ( still current ! ) m-range: the M 516.

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!
I love the sketch book - because that means good things are on the way!
And the conversions are very nice!
