Busy Times

Got pretty busy over the past few weeks with other things and didn't do much work.  That said, I did get some work done this week, so pictures and posts will start up again after I take some pictures this weekend.

Steampunk Arachnids

One issue with Green Stuff is that I always end up with more mixed than I need for the job. After mixing up a batch for Angelica's arms, I decided I really didn't want to waste it. So, having recently received my new Steampunk Arachnids, I decided to use it up. I, unfortunately, can't claim credit for this creative idea, but I loved it when I saw it. Each of the three spiders is magnatized, so that on the big base, they are a Steampunk Arachnid Swarm, but I can split them off onto smaller bases to have individual Steampunk Arachnids. The base inserts are IronHalo.net's Deus Ex Machina. They look pretty amazing in the photos, but, honestly, it's going to take a large bit of work to make them look like that.

Another New Arrival, Already Partially Assembled

Angelica is another new arrival, for my Colette Crew. Her arms were a bit of a challenge to attach and pose, but I think I worked it out with a bit of green stuff to help the superglue.

New Arrivals

A few thing that have recently arrived! Alternate Ramos, Avatar Ramos, and two sets of Steampunk Arachnids. At the time I made the purchase, I didn't realize that Avatar Ramos would come with a set of Steampunk Arachnids, so I have way more than I need (I had two packs of the old type as well, at least!).

Counters

Malifaux requires the use of a number of counters. One of them is "scrap" counters that constructs leave behind when they die. I had a number of old watch parts laying around, so I decided to experiment a bit with making them into a scrap counter. I'm planning to paint the green stuff to look like mud and then weather the gears (once my weathering pigments get here).

Colette Color Test

I decided to go ahead and do a color test on Colette. I think these colors will work well for her and will match the rest of the crew nicely.

Minor Mannequin Work

Very minor changes to the mannequin. Did a little work on the "skin" portions. I think I'm good with the base color there, just need to wash it to bring out the details and then highlight it up.
