Finally a half adequate photo.

Looks great Ares!
If I may make a suggestion, a solid color painted around the base may add a finishing touch and give an overall sense of completion. I use dark flesh on my important models. Check my entry for what I mean.

I do really like your basing though! :yay:

Thanks!

I was actually going to give the base circle a couple more coats to make it solid, but then I found I liked the dirty orky camo look, so I left it as it is on purpose.

Ah I understand!

Nice work Ares! That makes 11 entries so far by my count, great work everyone so far!

Great job Ares! My only criticism would be that it looks too glossy... but I don't know, maybe he's just wet.

Btw, I've been going through the entries and I have realized that I have never been able to see the work of Wah Wing because of some problem with his pictures. I first noticed this in the Aragorn Challenge. Is anyone else having this problem? :roll:

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Sat Aug 27, 2011 1:27 pm

Nope I can see his pictures perfectly fine?

Nice job and I like the unique looking camo painted rim on your base!

Maybe he's caught in a thunderstorm and that's why he has that scared look on his face. Wrapped in all that metal makes him a lightning rod.

It's the dipping varnish. Maybe I should finally get some matte varnish too.

Here's my finished model! Finally! It's over. For now.

Good luck to all!

Great entry Wah Wing, the white hand on his face is really good.

Great job Wah Wing, looks fantastic.

Thanks guys!
I also followed your advise Sacrilege and uploaded the pics as one pic. Hopefully it helps with voting, if not, oh well.

Really nice job Wah Wing!

OK, here's mine. Rushed to get it finished. I painted up the base from the wild warg chieftan.

Tonite we eat MAN FLESH!!!!! :yum:

Legen...wait for it...dary work there Edge. Basing job is a beaut!

Sacrilege83 · **Posted:** Sun Aug 28, 2011 2:58 am

LoL, you really like to steal the show a lot with your outrageous bases. First with Aragorn, now this! Job well done, if people find the Lurtz models too close to call in voting, your base will certainly be a tie breaker.

Thanks guys. I think I'm out of ideas for over-the-top bases. Next one might have to be standard gravel and grass.

I thought this one told a nice story (well...not for the dead guy).
