thats so cool
im impressed :beaten:

those were painted like 3 months back.
i've just finished painting 4 miniatures and i'm about to complete another 10 more real soon.....[they are halfway done. and i must say,they are rather sloppy looking due to my 'lazyness' for not paying attention to details]
if only i could find the time....
:hehe:

they look fine to me :good:

Very nice, Tek.... Do you build plastic or white metal models as well? :)

Good job, good job, man. THAT's the kinda' detail I be talkin' 'bout. And, not meant as an insult by the way, I've seen detail where, if I hold the miniature right up to my eye, I can see, like, writings on the shield or armor or whatever.

A bottle of liquid paper correction fluid with the cap off is taller than most of these miniatures. That's why there's a challenge in painting these metal pieces.

Good job, again.

If and when I get my cycle, I'll give you a buzz, ChoyBoi.... :D

most likely online, check the forums, email.. while listening to music, and if i have more time, id probably be watching the stuff i dled off of bt and sl :mrgreen:

thanks for the comments guys [and gals!]. but i have to admit that my skills are really below average at the moment.somehow i just don't have the time to really improve my skills...
the really skilled ones look FREAKING awesome!for comparison purposes, when i put my miniature beside those really skilled ones,noone will even notice that my miniature existed.
:sweat:

no! building them [the casting process and etc.] take up alot of money and time and workforce. BUT there is this thing called the "green stuff". it acts like a putty where you can add some 'additional' features to the miniatures to suit your 'taste'. unfortunately i suck at that modelling section. :rolleyes2:

i started painting them when i was 10. then i had a 7 year break because it somehow got really expensive in my area. recently a year back, the game/hobby was brought once again. and here i am catching up lost time perhaps!


i've just finished those 10 miniatures i previously mentioned. i will post them up when i get back from Uni.

Yes. they are warhammer! they are really interesting....for me at least!
not only do i get to paint them,convert them,and display them, i also get to play them like an advance version of chess,like for chess is an advanced version of tic-tac-toe.

basically it's like i'm playing Warcraft III on a table.
:hehe:

I WISH!!
yes,it's an expensive hobby. but hey,if it's something that interest you, i don't see why u should not spend on it to appeal yourself.
take "girls on a shopping spree" as an analogy. you will understand....i hope.

:mrgreen:

*Note : oh yea.i save my arse off just to get a miniature.so i'm NOT rich!*


so, what DO you do during your free time Lolese? play games non-stop? surf pr0n?
:rolleyes:
