Forums Terrorist posted:I, Forums Terrorist, oath 10 T-34/85s in 15mm by the Plastic Soldier Company. A tankovy! Well, good sir, I, YF19pilot, oath 11 Panzer IV H in 15mm by Battlefront (Flames of War). That's 10 plastic (5 mostly built, 5 unbuilt) and one resin/pewter.  I also promise to do my best to not quit 3 months in because of my retail job. I no longer work retail which means I actually have weekends and predictable spare time to actually work on this. The prize I won last year is unpainted, but I may do that next month, what with the summer theme and all.

Oath Complete! And for the Jurnal...  Primed/Base coat, and partially assembled.  First camo color (or is it second?), and mostly put together.  Second camo color, plus painted crew, and fully assembled. Not enough skirts to go around, though. For those with sharp eyes, there is a slight modification to a couple of turrets:  Some smart Heer figured it'd be quicker to abandon a stricken tank without the outer set of doors on.  Slap some decals on and we're ready for sealing. Part's List: Kits used: Two boxes GBX79 Plastic Panzer IV H One blister GE046 Panzer IV H (resin + pewter/white metal) One set GE942 DAK Decals Three sets of Battlefront's 5-panel Schurzen sprue (no kit number because it's something you have to special request, can't buy) Paints: Flames of War "War Paint" Italian Armour SP09 spray paint as primer/base Vallejo 882 Middlestone - base coat/ German "Dunkelgelb" Vallejo 826 German Cam. Medium Brown Vallejo 888 Olive Grey Vallejo 830 Ger. Fieldgrey WWII Vallejo 955 Flat Flesh DecoArt "Crafter's Acrylic" Black Other bits: GaleForce nine Hobby Glue Micro Sol decal setting solution Some paint brushes*, a file, tweezers, sprue cutter, knife. *RIP: had to toss one of my fine/detail brushes after I finished painting the panzers. Will have to pick another up. Calling, INQUISITOR'S JOURNAL, + Part's List, = Double the Fun, and an entry for Themed Group, tweekinator posted:I'm hoping to get better. Me, too. And perhaps to save some coin for an airbrush.

Hey, I just noticed an error in the spreadsheet. You have the monthly Jurnal as 1 point, but the Quarterly Spreadsheet formula for determining qualifier is looking for a value of '2'. That is, you have the following formula for May: =IF('May 2014'!O39=2,ʺYʺ,ʺNʺ) If this is just a placeholder, then ignore me, but I figured I'd bring it up before people start grouching about not being qualified for the quarterly Jurnal prizes.

I, YF19pilot, oath for the month of June, the Scibor Miniatures Summer Set (28mm) that I had won as a prize in last year's Oath Thread. Extra shot to show they are primed:  I will probably add to this oath once this month's theme is made official. edit: would like to add, having won this set and looked up who Scibor is, I really like their Polish Historical minis/models, and will try to do something with those later in the season.

Holy crap, I did a whole bunch of things that I didn't expect to do in one day, so uh... Oath Complete!  Not sure if the time stamp is really needed, but Speed Painting!  Also, Box Art! (or my best jab at as close to as possible)       I want to give a big thanks to Scibor Miniatures for having this as a prize in last season, and for their awesome work. I certainly can't do their models much justice I'm afraid, but I truly cannot decide which is my favorite. But, not to schlub off for the rest of the month, I will make an OATH ADDITION of one Battlefront/Flames of War artillery OP team (15mm) which has been glued onto one of Battlefront's custom bases just for this Jurnal (and not hastily done for my Italians in last night's battle).  I really need either a second camera or to move my lamp back to my computer desk...

Diosamblet posted:Here's a picture of the zenithal primed models I was hoping to Oath (the four in the back). They've been that way for like, a year. (Sevvy there has been primed white for almost a decade) If they look like that, I can see giving a pass. It just looks like a single, maybe two passes with a spray, not really any kind of actual detailed painting going into the model yet. Like, the arms aren't primed a completely different color from the rest of the model. I, as a terrible painter, would be okay with that.

Zark the Damned posted:Quick question for re: bases. I have a bunch of resin bases I picked up a while back and batch-painted to make sure they were consistent ('cause I'm using them across a couple of small armies), would it be OK to oath some minis and use those pre-painted bases? Both in general and for this month's Jurnal. You'll probably have to wait to Monday for the official word, but as far as I understand, that would not be kosher. The Jurnal has to be part of your oath, and you can't oath something that has been pre-painted. I believe you can submit the "oath complete" photo on said base, but your base would not be a valid entry for this month's Jurnal, or considered part of the oath for purposes of judging. You are allowed to oath an unpainted base this month, finish it, then oath the model for it next month, and submit both together for whatever that counts for (strike a pose, in battle, etc), but the difference being those are both oaths from this season.

Previous completion:YF19pilot posted:Oath Complete! And to finish off this month's oath: Oath Completed     This should get me in for this month's Jurnal, no other bonuses being claimed. So to sum up my entire oath: Jurnal entry with the OP (Observation Patrol) team in this post Box Art and Speed Painting with the pool funnies. e: just realized the bottom two pictures make the bricks look like piles of gory meat for some reason.

I, YF19pilot, being of sound mind and bodily health, doth oath the following: Four (4) 7.5cm PaK40 anti-tank guns & crew, One (1) Kfz 15 field car with driver, One (1) Barkmann's Workshop and Six (6) Villagers, all from Battlefront's Flames of War. In case there is any confusion what is what, the PaKs are blue, field car green, workshop red, villagers yellow.  Also, quick question, what color does a gaslight street lamp burn at, and what kind of color does it cast? Most photos I've seen show kind of a white light, but want to make sure my research isn't letting me down before I fail at my first attempt at object source lighting.

Iris of Ether posted:I think white or yellowish-white. It will depend on the specific chemicals getting burned, though, and the Wikipedia said there were additives that people included to get the lamps to burn different colors on demand. Sweet, thanks for this. Makes sense about the color, I've used an acetylene torch before, and when you're just burning the fuel/oxy to light, it's a yellow-white flame. Accelerating it obviously pushes it into blue-white territory, but that has more to do with the actual temperature of the flame rather than what is being burned at that point.

Oath Complete! PaK40s; forgot to take more pictures, I really like how the camo turned out, but it's hard to see in this photo.  Kfz. 15 field car    Barkmann's Workshop     The Villagers  Proposition of the Law   The Diners   The Mother; my personal favorite because there's just so many little details, I did not notice the girl clutching to the mom until I started painting this one.   The Nuns   The Vicar   Lady of the Night; this is my attempt at the Jurnal for this month; tried to get the OSL from the lamp, but not sure how well it turned out, as this is 15mm, and it's a little hard to tell in some aspects. Shaded the woman based on how she'd be lit up standing directly underneath the lamp, and the man has lighter colors on his front than his back, with the stones behind him left dark as the shadow he casts. I didn't want to do too dramatic of a contrast as Battlefront had an example of that and it looked kinda ugly, but would probably have been better and create a better sense of this being a vignette. As is, it's difficult to tell the difference from front to back of the 'John'.      Other lessons learned; as fun and cheap as they were to use when I still did 40k, I think I will probably ditch these Applebarrel and other cheap acrylic "crafts" paints. While they look great for color they have a hard time doing things like sticking to the model, even when primed. They hold up okay on plastic and resin, but anything metal and they flake off just looking at them. Glad I got the villagers sealed now, and will probably keep them out of reach for now. So, claiming Jurnal for the "Lady of the Night" and "I Rolled a 6!" for Barkmann's Workshop. CovfefeCatCafe fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Jul 31, 2014 |

YF19pilot posted:Barkmann's Workshop Crap, I just remembered that this is actually a "functional" game piece which can be used in one of two ways; either as an objective marker or to allow certain 'special skills' for the character it goes with. Would this count towards "I Rolled a Six!" or does that have to be a homebuilt piece?

krushgroove posted:I guess it depends how you intend to use it as you play...Don't let me dictate what you paint it up as! Okay, well, I'm gonna call it for the "I Rolled a 6!" because it is an objective marker. I'll edit my completed post to reflect that.

Ah-ha! I do have something in my inventory for NMM! I, YF19pilot, being of conscious state of mind and not under the influence or coercion of any foreign substances or agents, do hereby oath the following; one (1) Me-262 A-2a Sturmvogel and one (1) MiG-17 Fresco; both are 1:144th scale models from Battlefront (Flames of War, Flames of War: Fate of a Nation/Six Day War, respectively).

Time for me to announce, Oath Complete! Not sure how I feel about it, I probably have more layers of paint than I really wanted, because it took me a bit to find the right shades (I started a shade too dark on these guys before I realized I need to go much, much lighter). I suppose I could be forgive as this is my first (and second) attempts at NMM. But, here we go;    What every Flames of War player wants to see, three airplanes.      Then I realized I forgot to put the bombs on the planes, so...  I will probably find something to add along the way this month. Or get to work putting other things together, we'll see. Claiming Jurnal for this month.

Well, sure glad I got my oath done this month! Looks like life will be taking me out of Oathing for at least a little while as I move half-way around the world for work. Probably won't have a September or October oath, but I'll see if I can get back in for November or December, though it'll probably be pretty limited.
