All from the Arena Rex kickstarter. The models are very nice, though quite fragile - in some cases I had a few breaks - Viatrix's sword for instance - but Red Republic Games have amazing customer service. I was missing one model from my order and a replacement was sent out the day after I contacted them.

[Psychosplodge]

Woohoo!

Is the light effect painted on or actual light?

[eldargal]

Ooh very nice.:)

Also more diverse than 99% of Hollywood films.:p

[Gotthammer]

Bit of both - the very light areas on skin are from the lamp tho

Though I moved her shield arm so it wasn't blocking her - not as sensible a pose but can see more of the mini. Also should have rotated the shield design 90 degrees but oh well too late now :p

[eldargal]

She looks Friggen nice.;)

[Gotthammer]

OMG :p


Bjarrhvit:

Got Otho and Lupa underway now, and materials to make an arena as well.

It was a very Sventertaining pun.;)

:p

Feeling quite inspired to start assembling and paintiny my own Arena Rex stuff now.:)

[Gotthammer]

Feeling quite inspired to start assembling and paintiny my own Arena Rex stuff now.:)

They're very good, the only odd thing I've noticed is Zahra has metal hands/weapons which is somewhat inexplicable. I'm sure it was explained in a KS update but whatevers. Also a lot of them have veerrry small contact points, like the ball of one foot, so for many of mine I left part of the sprue attached to have a larger surface area to glue down (they're very fine so pinning is almost impossible).

[eldargal]

Ooh wil bear that in mind when I'm taking mine of their sprues.:)

[Gotthammer]

Euryale almost done:

Nice snake patterning.

[eldargal]

Euryale outdid yourself with the snake pattern.;)

She looks amazing.:)

[Gotthammer]

Thanks guys (EG less so for that pun... >_> :p ) the pattern is based on an actual snake, the California red-sided Garter snake:

That's a rather pretty snake, despite the Don't you dare touch me colouring

[Gotthammer]

Actually not that venomous tho.

Euryale finished:

She looks fantastic, love the blood and tattoos.:)

[Kirsten]

wow, these all look awesome, especially like Bjarrhvit

[Gotthammer]

Many thank - they're great fun to paint so when they become available I greatly recommend them :)

[Kirsten]

they look great, but I am not sure what I would do with them, don't have the money or space for models I can't game with :p

Is that a scale model?

[Cap'nSmurfs]

Holy cow, these are great!

[Gotthammer]

The secret is if you don't game with any of them then it doesn't matter! :p



Is that a scale model?

'fraid I don't quite get your meaning but she's nominally 28mm, though as a mythical beast she's giant meaning she'd be ~60mm if she were human.



Holy cow, these are great!

Thanks ^_^

[Wolfshade]

Oh, very nice indeed. Bravo

wow, that is incredible

[Gotthammer]

wow, that is incredible

Thanks, I'm very happy with how she turned out :)

[Psychosplodge]

Converted veil or part of the standard model?

[Gotthammer]

Part of the model as is - only conversions I did was to Septimus to chop off his head and turn it slightly so he wasn't looking hard left, and Frigge & Otho's shield arms so the shield was covering them less.

[Psychosplodge]

In that case I'm more impressed with the paint job than when I thought you'd put something nearly see through over it afterwards :)

[Gotthammer]

Thanks!

Though I must confess it was a rather simple technique - I used flayed one flesh for her exposed skin, and Wychelf for the recesses of the veil. Also did her eyebrows then drybrushed the veil with white. Then just some careful inking to bring out her facial features more.

[Wolfshade]

I do really like the flesh tones they are really good :)

[Gotthammer]

Many thank, getting the skin tones varied was something I def put a lot of work in to :)

[eldargal]

Medusa looks amazing, Viatrix too.:) also approve of Stheno's lifestyle choices and fashion accessories immensely. New photos of old figures are even more lovely.

[Gotthammer]

Thank you! ^_^
