Global Scale Modeller

Okay not to let Coen have all the early glory

This is what I will be doing for this build. (Well to start with anyway)

I'm a big fan of Hasslefree miniatures and when I saw this pack I had to get it.







The figures are alternate sculpts of the same girl and the detail is extremely good.
Haven't painted that many female figures and will be nice to challenge myself with female skin tones (Quite alot on one of the sculpts )

Also want to use airbrush for the base-coats as I haven't done this yet only primers.

I recommend giving Hasslefree a look if your still looking for a figure to paint.

That's gonna be interesting, which,paint manufacturer does a nipple pink?

Lmao ha ha, I guess he could mix his own it could be tweaked at a later date if needed

Really... I thought you already knew where to get that colour Paul.
I'm surprised.
The detail on those things are spectacular. I can even see my name tattooed on her bum.
Sweet.
Seriously though Gupp, these are wicked and whoa boy that's a lot of skin.
Not easy.
Good luck with her... them Dude.

2 weeks!!!

Yeah want to try too different looks on both other than the obvious differences.

Tattoos now theirs an idea.

Yeah... my angry Scot has one. Not an easy thing to tackle.

What a booty!! I like it will be a cool project!

Damn Straight!

I see you baby - shakin that ass.....

Terrible

Awesome kit. I now know where my pocket money is going.

Oh dear I think I started something.

I'm so sorry ISM

But really looking forward to experimenting on the painting of this beauty.

Dat ass.

Does she come with shriveled up singles or will you need to scratch those?

Not one of those coffee-table builds lol.

I could not build the ladies. My hands would shake

Are you going to dress that base up at all?
I know dioramas are a no no... but a scenic base or a miro-vignette maybe... Lee?
I'm also asking for me... if I were to add some static grass and some dirt to mine... it's still the base that came with it.
Just prettier.

Yeah I do want to do some thing with the base bit boring as is.

Was thinking one indoors like a cobbled floor.
And the other outdoors on grass sand etc.

Hopefully basing is allowed. Help to add a sense of place to a figure.

she is the type of girl you take back to meet your mum

If there is a base with the kit then fine. This is an OOB build so, no improv I'm afraid. I suppose a couple of tufts of grass, pebbles or a small branch would be fine but, that's it fellas...

You can always add a base after you've done all the pictures for the GB etc

So tufts of grass, a rock, and a stick.
I can work with that.

Yeah I'm sure its doable.

Think we be okay with that she got an armoured g string lol.

Before I saw this thread I have been looking around for a figure to possibly enter into this. And I kept looking for like semi-nude fantasy girl figures etc as well!

I blame Lenny for his fallen angel with the big boobies!

*scuttles off to the internet to look for plastic/resin/metal naked figures..."

Great stuff.
Hasslefree is a husband and wife outfit - Mr does the sculpting. I one heard a podcast interview with Mrs H in which she laughingly described her husband's work bench and his amassed 'research material'.
I look forward to this one come to life.

This figure reminds me of my wife waiting on the doorstep for me when ive had a late night out with the boys (In my dreams). I think she will look stunning when painted and dont rush the research side of things.

Right then so wasn't up for doing any more on the TA 152 so I've made a start.

Just a few things to remember when working with resin.

Its pretty nasty stuff so when filing and cleaning up the parts its a good Idea to open a window or wear a mask.

And also you will need to use CA or equivalent to glue the parts as poly cement extra thin wont have any effect.


Right first off I gave them a wash in warm soapy water (Insert dirty comment here ...)

Once these where dry I got on with construction each girl is made up of 5 parts so this didn't take long.
Clean up was minimal.

I pinned the bodies to the bases to ensure they wont fall off during painting.

This was done by drilling small holes in the base of the feet and then glueing so fine wire in the hole and then to the base.


Normally for war gaming miniatures id repeat this with all the parts but as these are just for display I didn't bother.
Okay on to the photo shoot of them both built and ready for primer.

No. 1 Armoured version.



No. 2 Unarmoured version.



The parts are interchangeable between the 2 figures so this is just what I liked the look of.

And finally a shot with a paint bottle to show scale.


Really happy with these the detail is fantastic for the scale down to strands of hair and undercut parts.

That's all for now until I decide on the colours for these beauties.

Dude... those will look soooo cool when they're all done up.....













Boobies too.

Boobies.......!!!



And awesome asses.

That chick has a big sword. . . among a few other things. This is a fantastic kit! That's a whole lot of breast painting I need to get myself one of these kits and start one up!

Boobies and Ass GB!!!

Russ

Hehe yeah it is turning into the ISM boobies group build lol.

Hmmm... all I got was hairy celt boobies.
I'm pretty sure that if I said that to him he'd eat my entire village.
Sigh... no boobies for me.









boobies.

Right so painting has started on these two.

Right so got them both primed.

Now I'm going to do these one from white and one from black primer.
I'll be using the same colours on both so it will clearly show the different effect the final colours will have when you do this.

Hoping that this will be useful for deciding what primer to use for anyone who isn't sure why you would use different colours of primer/basecoat.

I will do side by side of each step.

More to follow soon.

Looking forward to this, I have no doubt it will prove useful.

Clever boy Gupp!
Nice idea.

Thanks guys I do sometimes have good ideas. about one every 10 years lol

Right so on with the painting!!

Firstly I bacecoated the flesh with the airbrush.



Next first coat of highlight airbrushed on.



Still very subtle at this point.

From now on Ill be switching to the good old hairy stick.

Nips.......

BOOBIES!!!

Great figures Gupps, but you might want to rephrase that in light of somer of the comments!

When Paul mentioned earlier about a colour for the nips and tweaking it - he did mean the colour, right?!

Looks COLD in Bournemouth.....
Time to put the central heating on Guppy mate..

Nice idea with the primer base colour too......
....NOW you have my attention...

I think he's got everyone's attention.haha

OMG what have I started!!

lol.

not sure where to look hehehehe


nice work mate,
