Well time to finally show you project that has been a highlight of preceding week

Little wedding gift for Viruk (I hope he won't mind me spilling the beans and even if...come on, it's been a week

)

After I got minis from sculptor (who changed heads to custom made, basing on actuall photos of Mr.&Mrs. Viruk

) I had to wait 2 days for base, so I had to do all the work in 1 (one) day

Though I'm a bit dissapointed with Faller's foliage, looks just like regular sponge (sic!).

Simply lovely, Wiktor... I'm sure they'll love it

I've got to agree on the foliage though... seems kinda off

:roll:

I especially liked working on the groom. Lovely mini

Time to dust this thread off

Lately I've been working on project for a client i.e whole Space Marines Army. So far there's about 30 guys, 3attack bikes, one rhino and two half finished land raiders done. All of the progress can be seen on Blog

Lately I've finished mentioned Rhino but I'll have to work on it once more cause client didn't like my vision and thought it's too close to junk than tank

Anyway here are the sample pics, more of it and more of whole project can be found on blog

Very nice ultrasmurfs you've got there! Well done. If you are looking for a good SM forum bolter and chainsword is the best: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/
(Not slighting the guys on here) But good work

I've had a look through this thread, your website, and your posts on CoolMiniOrNot, and I have to say that you are one of the best painters I've seen. However, in this case, I'd have to agree with your client; that tank looks like junk. Its not even close to as good as the rest of your work and the battle wear and tear is much too overdone.

I don't really have the right to judge your work, seeing as most of mine is only either tabletop standard or a little above (a poor camera doesn't do me any favors--I know, excuses, excuses :wink:

), but I just thought I'd give you my two cents...

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Mon Jan 17, 2011 7:48 pm

Excellent work Haldir. The bride and groom diorama is amazing and really well built. I'm not a fan of the rhino either, don't get me wrong the painting is brilliant and far beyond anything I could produce, but the amount of weathering is over the top (and perhaps looks a little flat too?). Still, great work and I look forward to seeing more.

Haldir_pl · **Posted:** Mon Jan 17, 2011 7:51 pm

Rhino is by far my most criticized piece of work

We'll it's good actually. If there weren't any challanges they'd be no progress

I'm currently wraping my head around other approach to that mini. Meanwhile I almost finished last of remaining SM boltgun marines. Pics will be up tomorrow

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Mon Jan 17, 2011 8:07 pm

Indeed, without criticism there'd be no improvement (well there would but constructive criticism definitely speeds up the improvement process in my experience). Looking forward to seeing those marines and good luck with your new approach on the Rhino.

hero of gondor · **Posted:** Fri Jan 21, 2011 10:42 pm

It's just that the rhino doesn't fit your painting style. The blue looks very flat and the weathering is a little bit overtopped. But i think some extreme highlight make it much better.

Haldir_pl · **Posted:** Fri Feb 25, 2011 11:32 am

Here some new input on Rhino and Land Raider

Some bulk of pics on those two

As well as a piece of commentary

Another addition to this topic is a set of pics of yet another 40k mini. Second of Sanguinary Guard squad

Keep up the good work!

Thanks

I have a day off so I'll be close to finishing him tonight

I love how you say on your blog you need to improve your nmm, and how its not that great. :lol:

I for one think that your nmm is awesome, and I know I couldn't do anything nearly as good without a lot of practice. Of course you can always improve by makeing your tranitions smoother, etc. But, you are definitely way beyond anything I could do right now. Now go paint some lotr figures.
