Ogre Seth Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Yay! I got the remainder of my miniature market models in the mail yesterday :-) it is a little daunting I have so many models to put together, but of course it's also very exciting :-) I will be trying to keep you all updated here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Here's a picture of all my model so far. I think I will start assembling, and get all that done before priming. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Woo-hoo. That is a tasty selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I was able to make some assembly progress today. Assembled the sniper, a missile launcher, a warcore merc and a JSA helper team. Also one nifty little robot... Might have tital reaction :) the Assembly has been going pretty well. I've been using hot melt glue to temporally attachment to the basis and also green stuff balls in every joint which has been working pretty well to hold stuff in place while glues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogre Seth Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 slapped some base coat on two models... ugh, they look so bad before the first wash... :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Ok, this model is close to done, without basing. I like the blue/grey color scheme pretty well. And I have chosen white as my pop of color. The technique is basic but effective. I should be able tho make good progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 And a monk. I decided to make the armor white since these models have skin tone heads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatlander Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I think the white and blue on the monk works well. what are you planning on doing for bases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 It's good to know that hundreds of years into the future, stick-fighting is still a viable form of combat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NakedPanda Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 the shaolin providing smoke screen to the kuang shi (a true terror in skilled hands) in the impetuous phase will lead you to welcome a whap from the stick instead hahahaSort of a Kuang shi or Stick Diplomacy sort of thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 yeah, the monks have been my favorite unit so far because they are just so unpredictable :) As far as bases go... I havn't decided. I do like the city scape type basing, but figure i will address that later. For now i am trying to get the models painted and putting a LOF arc on the base rim. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Warwick Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 The bare arms on the kuang shi look awesome. It makes them appear more intimidating and primal, like a caged beast. Very fitting given their lore and combat role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Scipiano :) As usual, if the paint theme implies a depth of intention... well I guess i got lucky then :) The reality of my thought process was probably more like... "sure, lets slap some more brown tone right there.." :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"sure, lets slap some more brown tone right there.." :) Don't be so humble, we all know that you are seeking deep metaphorical and philosophical meaning with your paint scheme.

Ogre Seth Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 What I'm "seeking" rudra, with my paint job is productivity :-) -lol- Here is the 170 pts team I plan on using on this Sunday. I'm quite pleased with my painting progress :-) it's nice to only have 10 to 12 models to paint instead of the hundred fifty I used to have to to get a warhammer list together :-) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I think I am going to switch to a green and white color scheme. Same layout as the models I have painted so far, just green instead of blue. I like the blue and white, but it feels too Pan-O. So I'm hoping the green and white will feel more yu-jing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogre Seth Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 thx Peanut :) So, this terrain project is retrofitting one of Rudra's buildings. It has been a fun challenge and I hope to continue to find success so I can do more. The pictures above include a 6 led ground effects retro-fit (the sixth one is inside the smoke stack :). I was glad to see that this proved my concept of circuit design, and that the LED's put out enough light to be interesting even in well lit rooms. The pictures seen above show the circuit running off of a 4xAAA DC power supply. However, the next stage (and challenge) will be to add to this circuit the needed components to handle a solar panel power supply. The problem with the solar panes is two fold. 1) The DC voltage output is variable (unlike the stable battery pack) and therefore plays havoc with determining proper resistance due to V=IR (ohms law). -I know you are finding this riveting to read :)-. 2) the number of solar panels needed to generate enough voltage to overcome the v-drop of the LED's is significant enough that I have to find a way to creatively model it. I can just slap a 2"x2" mini panel on and expect to get 5-8 volts in most lighting conditions. These hurdles are really part of why I'm enjoying this project. I have enjoyed brushing up on my circuitry know how, and wracking my brain for solutions. Let me just say what everyone is thinking... It is so fun to play a game where terrain matters and is fun to have in abundance (instead of a hassle). anyway... back to designing a voltage regulation circuit with boost inductance...

Ogre Seth Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Freaking cool, but will card board last to wear? my concern as well.. i havn't yet run out to buy some foam core... so we will see. Thankfully Rudra is doing a stuco layer over all the building surfaces. I'm hoping this will give it some toughness. I'm thinking of this first trial as just finding out what process I need to fix. So next time, I may very well be building with plascard and other more rugged materials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
