I got that clockwork dragon too, and as I mentioned in the KS thread, I'm disappointed in it. On the other hand, I forgot I'd added on Cthulhu at the last second, so... bonus! It looks like it'll be amazing, and I got an airbrush which is going to work great for this.

Your problem will be that washes are primarily aqueous. This will not want to party with the bare plastic. You can paint straight on them because paints are based on polymer binders, rather than being mostly water. This means to be able to just dunk them in wash you will need to give them a little spritz of primer. All washes are like 90% water, so brand/type isn't going to change much, except maybe using oil washes.

I thought part of the point of Bones is that they have a surface that you don't need to prime? My wife recently painted a Bones purple worm (she really wanted to use my airbrush) and she did not prime it first. Came out pretty well:

OK here is an effortpost about a sculptor. I figure this belongs in this thread because these days she sculpts a lot of stuff for Reaper. Let's chat about

Julie Guthrie

I first became vaguely aware of Julie Guthrie when I noticed her name on certain lines of miniatures, back when I first got into the miniature hobby (late 80s). I kind of forgot the name again for a long time. But, a few years ago a friend of mine was moving to Hawaii and decided that in the name of efficiency, he needed to divest himself of most of his belongings (since shipping them all would have been ruinously expensive anyway). So he gave me his entire gaming collection, which included piles of elderly miniatures some of which date back to the late 1970s and the very inception of Dungeons and Dragons (which, as a teenager, he was playing within a year of its first publication).

So a little while ago I started sorting through his collection. Most of these figures have been treated very poorly - they have the typical awful paintjobs of the early 1980s, done with huge cheap brushes and glossy enamel model paint. Many are badly damaged from use, many were ham-fistedly modified to better match some character's equipment or lack thereof, and, well, how do I put this? Scantily-clad (or entirely nonclad) female miniatures comprise a surprisingly large percentage of the total collection. My buddy was a horny teen male in a time before internet pornography.

Anyway. Going through these old figures, I decided to start by sorting them into manufacturer and then identifying them based on online resources. Easily half the figures are old Ral Partha (unsurprisingly) and I found some useful websites, including hosted scanned copies of their oldest catalogs.

I was surprised to discover that as early as 1982, Julie Guthrie was sculpting fantasy 28mm-scale miniatures for gamers. She was credited with designing an entire line of minis in the 1983 Ral Partha catalog, "All Things Dark and Dangerous," and was also added in credit for the "The Adventurers" line in that catalog, joining Tom Meier and Dennis Mize as the third major credited sculptor for the company's fantasy miniatures. (Although George Freeman, William Murray, Brian Apple, and Ann Gallup had credits for Ral Partha back in the late 70s, mostly for historical minis, these sculptors were absent from the credits by '83. Apple and Gallup had only co-credits for a few limited historical lines.) Guthrie's name subsequently came up on sculpts from Ral Partha, Grenadier, Iron Wind, Reaper, Emperor's Choice, and probably others I don't know about.

She has multiple lines of minis from Grenadier, including "Julie Guthrie's Personalities" and "Julie Guthrie's Personalities II," lines which explicitly advertised with her name, indicating that at that time her name was more recognizable to miniature-buyers than practically anyone else in the industry. The masters for these sculpts have been bought and sold repeatedly, and remarkably are still in production today, despite now being 15+ years old. (See also: Her page on the Lost Minis wiki). In 1995, she was inducted into the Origins Hall of Fame in recognition of her contributions to the hobby.

And she's still sculpting today. You can review her work at Reaper on this page; she has some figures that are being converted to Bones, such as this scary ghost, but she's also sculpting new and fantastic stuff, including the Nethyrmaul the Undying figure, the non-cheescake Male Storm Giant, and this adorable snakeman warrior.

I figure if she was maybe 20 back in 1983 doing her first sculpts, then she'd be 50 today. You see plenty of 50+ year old men involved in this hobby, but precious few 50+ year old women. I think it's fantastic that this woman has made a full career, going back to the earliest days of D&D, making high-quality sculpts of tiny little people and monsters and stuff, and is still churning out top-notch stuff today.

Just a little too much "sexy model pose" for my tastes. Although it's assuredly not horrible, there's much worse out there. What is interesting is that they had two different sculptors do these two models: Julie Guthrie did the dude, and Patrick Kieth did the lady. I would have thought, if they wanted a contiguous look and feel to this pair, they'd go with just one sculptor.

You know, I honestly hadn't noticed that before, but you're right. Apparently giant queens are like... yeah, I've got this spear, I could totally kill you, but not just yet. Whereas the male giants are all "raaagh we're fighting!"

Now I think about it, tons of female minis, even the ones in armor with weapons, tend to be in more passive poses. I can't think of that many female figures I've got that are in a mid-strike combat pose.

This is still a pretty killer deal. These are Badger's new "Minitaire" paints, which are intended for airbrushes, but that really just means they're nicely thinned. Which is what you have to do to most paint (including miniature-specific paints like games workshop, reaper, etc.) anyway to get nice smooth coverage.

They're constantly out of stock but I ordered some anyway in early February and got my set in mid-March. So far I'm liking them a lot, both for airbrushing straight and for brushing on. The metallics aren't as nice as GW metallics, and the ghost tints kind of work a little differently than GW inks/glazes, but for $130 with free shipping it's a crazy deal compared to 80 paints from any other miniature-paint company.

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

Keep in mind that the Minitaire paints are in 1oz bottles, while games workshop paint pots are 0.4oz each. Although the Minitaire stuff is also thinned. Check the volumes on other brands too because they do vary.

I feel like you could maybe check out the general painting/modeling thread (I know, it has thousands of posts, ugh) because they do a lot of good recommendations for things like paint, brushes, etc.

Also, there's no need to put double spaces between sentences when you type.

Not paints. GW used to sell these kind of grab-bags (but boxes) of random minis. The box has a couple of windows so you can see what most of the miniatures are, but a couple of them are hidden. The whole box was pretty cheap, you were generally getting a reasonable price. It was a great deal if what you wanted was something to paint, rather than specific figures for a game. And presumably it was a way for GW to get rid of surplus figures that weren't selling.

GW stopped doing that I guess because they really want people to buy a game and then buy all the minis for that game.

Yeah, there was still a bit of that at the time I bought those boxes, but most of the minis that came in them (at least that I got) were for a GW game. If I recall correctly, some of them included a blood bowl troll, an eldar guardian, an ogre, a minotaur lord, a 40k squat, a dark elf with a crossbow, two or three random goblins, a couple of random orcs... I think there might have been like a lizard thing with wings that didn't belong to a specific game, but for the most part it was Warhammer stuff.

I still have my 1990 Citadel catalogs and they're 100% GW game figures, so by then they weren't making new figures for other games. But the stuff that came in the Bargain Boxes were all discontinued OOP models, at least if you believe what's printed on the back, so I'm sure there was some random non-GW stuff in there too.

edit: oh weird this is the Reaper thread. For some reason I thought we were in the general modeling thread. Sorry for the derail, guys, this is obviously not relevant to Reaper at all.

Video from reapercon showing a table full of Bones.

Interesting if you listen to them talking it apparently sounds like the reason Kaladrax is so hugely ginormous is because the factory in China misunderstood a request to make him 11' long as one to make him 11' TALL.

I'm struggling to believe that. These minis are still made from greens, which are actual physical sculpts. In order for the Chinese factory to be able to scale them, they'd have to have some kind of embiggener technology that doesn't start with a vector-based digital model of the mini. I could see it being easy to do if you design a figure using a 3d modeling program and then printing using a 3d printer, but I don't think that's how Bones are getting made.

If you started with a physical green and then scanned it, you'd need to vectorize that scan in order to scale it up. This sounds expensive and complicated and unnecessary, when you could so very much more easily just make your green the size you wanted in the first place.

So I'm not saying it's impossible, it just strikes me as pretty unlikely. Maybe Reaper told the sculptor to make something 11" long and got something 11" tall and that's the source of the huge size?

e. Also, gently caress that guy's camerawork. It's so goddamn easy to understand that you need to move the camera slowly. Also don't zoom when you can just move the camera closer! The more zoomed in you are, the more slowly you should move the camera. This is really not hard! I got 4 minutes in before I started getting too seasick to keep watching. :argh:

I don't understand. Are you saying they send the physical greens to China to get molds made? I assumed they just scanned it and sent the specs or something.

Well I don't actually know. But making a mold from a physical object is far easier than making a mold from a digital scan. If you have a digital scan, now you have to 3d print the result, but 3d printing gets exponentially more expensive the more detail you try to preserve. The cost is probably much higher than the cost of just mailing a green (or, more likely, a cast made from the green).

If I go into McDonalds with a coupon for a free Big Mac and for whatever reason they are out of Big Macs that day, I don't demand to see shipping invoices and call them unprofessional.

Perhaps you have never worked at McDonalds. Or any other retail establishment which offers discounts on things, coupons, rain checks, etc. Because this is exactly the sort of idiotic bullshit that a small segment of the general public inevitably pulls whenever your store cannot deliver on what they perceived as an inviolable promise to them personally of fifteen cents of savings.

On the other hand, people get upset not only because of this particular instance of them wanting a thing, believing they'd be able to get that thing now/today/this month/whatever, and then being disappointed; it is because there is a neverending overwhelming torrent of companies and retail establishments and products and TV shows and governments and employers and services and so on that constantly fail to perform to promises and expectations. The frustration builds up and demands an outlet. Often the only possible outlets are socially unacceptable: you can throw a tantrum in Best Buy or scream at your boss (and some people do), but there will be consequences for doing so. Most of the time your only option is to suck it up.

But with a kickstarter you can vent your frustration via comments or whatever and there are no practical consequences for doing so. Nobody should be surprised to see a lot of people availing themselves of the rare opportunity to be vocally pissed off that for the ten thousanth time in their lives, the world has disappointed them by not delivering on what they perceived as promises, commitments, obligations, reasonable expectations, or even just hopes and dreams.

Reaper said they planned to deliver our Bones in March. It's now May and many of us cannot expect our Bones till June or maybe even July. The reasons why this happened are all understandable and Reaper can be forgiven for underestimating delivery times by a few months, but it's also understandable that some people are pissed off about it and are really enjoying the rare opportunity to vent their lifelong accumulation of rage at how this kind of thing happens loving constantly, secure in the knowledge that nobody is going to throw them out of the store, fire them, arrest them, or whatever.

...the rest of us have more realistic expectations, of course. I'm not excusing idiots who don't get how the world works despite years or decades of evidence, mind you. I just think it's somewhat understandable and unsurprising.

If you go and look at the kickstarter page, which is still there of course, there are dates listed under every pledge level for estimated delivery. Most of them say March 2013. That is what most people saw and based their pledges on.

and we've been over why they happened. But we shouldn't be surprised that a lot of people are disappointed their stuff didn't get to them yet. That other people have gotten their stuff adds to the disappointment. It's like watching your sister open her christmas present on christmas morning, but being told you don't get to have your present until some as-yet-to-be-nailed down date many weeks in the future. It sucks even if your parents are getting you exactly what you wanted, but the store was sold out and all they could do was order it and it's backordered.

Some people are being unreasonable pricks about it, but come on. Reaper's late.

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

I agree that Reaper's delays were outside their control: but I do think that they should have been within Reaper's ability to anticipate. Basically, their estimates of delivery dates were overly optimistic, given their supply chain, and that is something you can reasonably complain about.

Demanding to have your stuff before someone else has their stuff is childish, though, I think we can all agree on that. And I'm very happy with how open Reaper have been about their process, the nature of the delays, and their efforts to deliver as fast as they can.

The original metal sculpt had a naked lady victim on the altar but it is removed on the Bones version. Perhaps because without the victim the altar is far more useful for actual gaming with a clear top you can put anything you want on, to suit your encounter scenario.

There are a handful of other figures that differ in small ways from the original sculpts too.

Yes, exactly this. [http://www.gorillatough.com/index.php?page=super-glue-guide]Gorilla Glue is a brand.[/url] Gorilla brand superglue is just cyanoacrylate glue; there are dozens of brands of this, of varying consistencies and speed-of-drying. Any will work; the exact consistency you want depends on whether you want to fill gaps or have ultrathin layers of glue, and the speed of drying depends on your preference.

Gorilla brand superglue apparently has some kind of rubber component that gives it a bit of toughness, so it's less brittle? I have no idea if/how that affects its strength of bond, or its thinness (e.g., can you mate two flat surfaces without creating a visible gap between them).

Gorilla now has both a superglue, and a superglue gel, so even just saying "gorilla glue superglue" is not sufficient to distinguish a single product.

Took some photos so I could illustrate what I meant.

From the front, this figure looks alright:

I mean, OK, nipples, but it's an interesting pose and there's lots of cool detail and I like that her facial structure isn't "european white person normative" or whatever. Also you can see that they glued on the braid.


But then, turn her to the side...

Her flanks just extend straight back to her cape, without curling inward.

It's not even that she's fat, because from the front she has a proportional waist of someone not overweight. So it's a disconcerting thing to turn her sideways and suddenly she's really thick.


Here's a closeup. I think this isn't really limitations of the casting, given that most or all of the other figures of this size had no problem with this. I think it's just lazy scuplting.
