Adepticon 2014 Part 5 - The Derelict



The derelict primered today!

Hello!  Welcome to another installment.  More good progress was made, so let's get caught up on the newest section - the ship.  This part is the "Kuksi" flavored interior of the huge egg chair.

Flashback Friday - Death Korps SeaBees "Breach This!" - Part 2


 Hey everyone!

Welcome to Flashback Friday, where I revisit old armies I have painted from the past.  I have painted thousands of models and who knows how many huge armies on commission, and each one holds a special place in my heart. I enjoy looking back every once in a while at the photos and remembering the joys and struggles, the hard work and the pure enjoyment of making someone's vision a reality. But enough of that emotional stuff, let's get on with it!

Adepticon 2014 Part 4 - Taking Shape



Hey all!

I have made a lot of progress the past two days.  Enough that I feel somewhat more comfortable with the time left.  It is possible!  Let's start with the progress I have made on the egg.

Adepticon 2014 Part 3 - A Throne For the Worm King



A bit of pre-post note: If you would like up to the minute updates on my projects, please feel free to follow me @GMMStudios on twitter.  Thanks! :)

Hey everyone!  I have made a good deal of progress on the throne over the past two days, so let's catch up with that and also give a bit of history of the parts involved.  This project won't be as intellectually stimulating as the egg, but I think it will be more fun in ways, as I love to build fantasy terrain, and I think it will still be just as over the top as the egg.  But let's get started.

Adepticon 2014 Part 2 - Inspiration







The frame of the original derelict from ALIEN 

There has always been something very romantic about traditional model building. I am an old soul in the sense I prefer traditional effects to computer generated. It's not an argument of skill, but in my opinion one of charm. I grew up with movies using traditional effects. We all have seen the Death Star trench and the ALIEN xenomorph. The fact that these were framed with wood and sculpted with clay or model parts makes them more interesting to me.

Showcase: Showdown - Eldar Vs. N'dras Tau


Welcome to Showcase: Showdown, where I take a break from painting and just have some fun taking pictures with some models I have painted!  This time around, it's N'dras Tau assaulting an outpost of Eldar. Who do you think would win or who do you hope would win despite the odds? I hope you enjoy the photos, and until next time!
