[GGS CONTEST 2] Building the urban base

Here some update of the diorama.
As you can see I've finished the base building.
I've spend a lot of time trying different minis position on the base. Actually I wanted to put  more zombies but I was not happy with the results because the horde created a wall between the survivor and the viewer making the diorama difficult to read.
So at the end, I've choosen to reduce the number of undead and open the visual on the three heroes also because they are the main subject of the contest, it's important to create a good focus on them.

Once decided the position, I took away the survivors, fix the zombies and prime the entire diorama in black. Then using white spray I've placed the light at the center of the diorama to create an artificial lightning from above. I'm very satisfied with the result. It's exactly the effect I wanted:
A strong light on the survivor in contrast with the rest of the diorama immersed in the night darkness.

Ok, now I suppose I need to put some colors on it. See you soon.

[GGS CONTEST 2] buidling urban base 1

It's time for the next GanGeekStyle contest. This time the theme is very fun:
The Good, the Brute and the Nut.
As usual, the miniature's scale are limited to 25 and 32 mn  but the environment and the presentation are free.
Because I had a lot of fun painting Hasselfree miniature for Zombicide during this last months, I've decided to make a diorama with the same object: survivors versus zombies.

So I've selected 3 minis from the Hasselfree catalogue.



But before starting with the painting of the three heroes, I must build and paint my base which needs to be accurated and elaborated if I want my diorama works.

Urban environment of course. My idea is to create an alley by night with illumination on the heroes in contrast with an horde of zombie in the darkness.
Here some pics of the WIP. as usual I've used a lot of coating to create the texture. It seems quite simple and empty right now but adding the zombie minis (from Zombicide) and some garbage on the streets, the whole stage should be credible.


[Zombicide] Survivors proxy

Here my complete team of survivors for Zombicide. All the minis comes from Hasslefree and has been very fun to paint.
I can't wait to receive other ones for Hasslefree to add new survivors proxy to my box games.

[Reaper Pathfinder] GGS painting contest- project finished

I'm quite busy in this period, unfortunatly not for painting but for professional reason.

But I've found the time to finish Valeros for the GGS painting contest. I'm quite happy with the final result, less about the quality of the picture. In fact it has been the most difficult part of the project because I have not good equipment to do picture. I've spent 3 days just to shoot my mini and find the better position as possible.
I've tried different lightning sources, even the natural light. But at the end I've decided to take the pictures made with a light box I've improvised at the last moment.
Hope you'll enjoy my work on Valeros.
You can see larger pics on my gallery on coolmini:

[Reaper Pathfinder] GGS painting contest- Painting Valeros.

I was in holidays at home during the last weeks. I've catched the moment to work on Valeros for the GGS Contest. I have to say that the paintjob has been exhausting. The mini is full of details with several stripes of clothing and all sort of equipments.

 But finally I've quite finished the overall painting. Now I'm going to switch on the last details, probably repaint the sword (i'm not happy at all with the NMM of the blade), work on the atmosphere and the general colors hue between the figure and the base.
