WIP Critique Heavy Metal

[Briggsy]

That's great Simon. Plenty of action now in both horse and the leaning 'torso'. The neck muscles' deliniation when painted will further enhance the forward motion and atmosphere. Enjoying your build a lot.

Cheers Kim, you have more faith in my painting of horses than I do. I shall do my best but I'm still learning, or actually relearning how to do this.

Cheers Simon

 

[Briggsy]

Loving that horse.

W.

Cheers W, as with the painting of the horse I'm still learning about animation of them, but it's good fun and nice to hear my efforts meet with approval from fellow modellers. How are you doing on this front now a days?

Cheers Simon

Long dark nights and no table time so my hobby has been stalled for now, will hopefully return back to it in the Spring.

I have an inkling that this diorama will be something really special, good on yer'.

Cheers Malkie, I'm hoping so but it's going to be a long slow process, a single mounted figure takes enough time!

Cheers Simon

This is indeed looking really good. My only regret about this project is that I will have to put up with your photos of the completed thing until I see it in the flesh at the next Bugle Call......

Outrageous.... OK yeah my photography is terrible I know, it would be worse with a proper camera with moving parts and settings!

Cheers though, it's getting there now the first figure is built and yes I'll be sure to take it to BC next year!

[theBaron]

Wow, this is going to be good.
As you've mentioned Heavy metal, I trust your be listening to Sabaton, while modelling.

Heh, every time I see this title in the forum index, I think of Sammy Hagar!
Prost!

Cheers Brad, Sabaton on occasion but mostly I have Planet Rock, a great digital radio station, on so I get most sub genres both old and new through the day. Sabaton however does suit the figures rather well, or Iron Maidens "The Trooper".

Cheers Simon

 

[Oda]

Sabaton,Amon Amarth,Powerwolf,Warlock,Savatage,Q5,Quartz to name a few but also The Builders and the Butchers and Bluegrass and Banjo from the Apallachia (still counts as metal) and of course all the metal classics with a soft spot for NWOBHM.

Oda.

 

[Briggsy]

My preference is more tilted towards the blues but I do like my metal. So far next year we have tickets for Iron Maiden, Judas Priest with Alice Cooper and The Australian Pink Floyd. Add to that a one day festival (Stonedead) and a few younger bands it's shaping up to be an interesting year. All we need is a mixed figure modelling and rock music festival, combine with October Fest and that should cover all bases!

Cheers Simon

You're a man of taste Oda, you should give Pagan Altar a listen if you don't know them

 

[theBaron]

See, I listen to polka music more these days. Everything is a song about drinking beer and dancing with pretty girls. Everyone is happy-Happy Louie, Happy Jack, Jolly Joe Timmer. There's even a polka with the incongruous title, "Suicide Polka", don't know why, but it still sounds pretty upbeat. Makes me wish I were Polish.
It's popular here in PA, where a lot of Poles, Slovaks, Germans, Hungarians, emigrated in the 19th century to dig coal or work in the steel mills. And it's the music my grandparents' generation listened to. They were poor and worked hard, but they were happy despite that, and sang a lot.
Prost!

[Briggsy]

My Dad liked traditional jazz, never could get into that!

Cheers Simon

 

[MalcC]

I've got a lot of catching up to do, a virus wiped me out, and I'm just getting back on my feet.
Loving the progress, and looking forward to seeing more.

I will certainly do so Sir.Tonight's painting session will begin with Pagan Altar.

Hi Simon,
Can't wait to see more progress on this diorama.
You are a master of detail, I am sure every figure involved will reflect thaf.
Carry on Sir!

 

[David Spencer]

Horse looks good, Simon.
May I suggest that you add a curve to its tail? Straight, it looks wrong to me.
Just a thought.

 

[Briggsy]

Thank you most kindly, hopefully will get back to the bench after Boxing Day. Mind you if everything goes as planned I'll be filing away more Historex kits rather than modelling!

Cheers Simon
