A Forthnight in Hobbying

Ok, instead of a weekly dissection I bring you my custom made Whiskeygolem.

So I started bying this from Renedra limited (2 packs of 10 barrels):

After that I started assembling a few barrels to make the legs and lower part of the body. 

I also bought some  legs, feet (which I didn't use in the end) and the exhaust of a dreadnought from GW. 

I cut up the legs to place them closer together.

As you can see the exhaust was used as a backpack and also it was a way to disguise the arms a bit. I mad shoulderpads out of one of the smaller barrels.

After assembly I pinned the 2 parts together and then undercoated it white. After that I did the barrels and ropes in brown and the exhaust and arms in metal.

I gave it all a brown wash and then used the new technical paints from GW (Rust and corrosion). I'm very pleased with the paints. They are easy to use and give a good finish to the model.

Hope you enjoyed this and I can't recommend the people at Renedra enough. A small range to convert with, but it's a awesome quality and it's great if you just want some scatter terrain on the table.

Brewmaster crew done

Here are some pictures of my latest crew.

Only 1 model (pigapult) to do and my wave 1 gremlins are done.

WIP: the brewmaster

So, for this next post I'm going to make a brewmaster crew. It got the following conversions since there are no models at the moment for the brewmaster and his crew.

I am going to use an old GW model: the dark emmissary for my brewmaster.

I also have converted 3 nasty skulkers from the GW-line for my moon shinobi

For my apprentice Weslry I'm going to use a Reaper bones, goblin model that I bought.

For fingers I'm going to use the old Raphael model from Wyrd itself, but I need to buy the model first before I can start with the crew.

I'll post some more pictures once I'm doing the painting.
Sorry about the quality, it's not the best camera in the world, but you get the picture ;) Nice pun huh
