Da Rednekkz Everything thread! A Murder Hornet

Looks great for sure!

I find myself wondering how many hours you have spent on Ms. Charlotte so far... I never record how many I do, so no worries if you don't know...

Its a ridiculous number for sure. I started work on her in 2013. Coming down the home stretch now.

Ms Charlotte's carapace is finished. Layers upon layers of shades, drybrush, highlights shades and more shades.  The photos don't quite do the depth of color justice. Horns/claws and the soft bits between the joints to go and she is DONE!  Then on to the base......

Gross paint job! The carapace looks sick.

[Sagentus]

Dam Ms Charlotte is looking disgustingly amazing! the carapacelooks ace and i would love to see it in person so I can see the true depth of colour 

[rednekkboss]

I'll get some better pictures. My camera was charging so I used my phone.  It seems to change a bit depending on how the light hits it. I wish I could say I planned it that way, but its a happy accident.

Impressive, if disgusting, work on a Greater Daemon of Nurgle.

Hey man-

 

Disgusting work. Excellent job on what has clearly been a labor of love. 

 

I love subtle and not-so-subtle references to other fantasy and sci-fi universes, and Charlotte is an excellent example. She fits right in.

 

[rednekkboss]

Thanks guys. I had a friend ask me about the sculpting, so I sent her the link to my blog pics of the finished model. I finished sculpting it 3 years ago!?!?!  So, yeah... labor of love or maybe labor of love and hate.  I'm hoping it doesn't take that long to do her base. :)  Started working on the horns,spikes and barbs tonight.  MAN, there are a lot of them. Should have her done Monday, then on to the base. Have to finish up the Pox Joker too, then I think I need to build something. Still lots of projects to finish.

[Battybattybats]

Looking great, as always :)

[Augustus b'Raass]

Wait, has it been 3 years already? I still remember you coming up with the initial idea for her!

 

Love the paint job and I am SO looking forward to seeing her finished!

Ask and ye shall receive.  She is done. I present you Miss Charlotte, Harvester of Souls. Actually, she's quite sweet, though she does sometimes have issues discerning friends from food. Some more pics on my hobby blog... but here's an all around.

 

 

 

 

I think her bum might be irritated...

 

 

And there's Screamin' George inside.....

 

 

The base is next with some other nurgly goodness. Cheers Ya'll!

[Kierdale]

Fantastic work! :tu:

It’s great to see her complete at last!

I’m looking forward to seeing the base.

 

 

 

You’ll get that done faster, right? ;)

Impressive and disgusting work on the Greater Daemon of Nurgle.

 

Thanks! I use her as a Helldrake. :) Or would... if I ever actually played.

 

Kierdale: Ha!  Yeah, I have it laid out and hope to have it all ready to prime by the weekend.  Depending on how much real life gets in the way. Its been particularly bothersome on my hobby time of late. :)

[Augustus b'Raass]

AT LAST!!!

FANTASTIC WORK!!

Congratulations on finishing this beautiful miniature, buddy. It took a while, but the wait was well worth it. 

Wow she looks great... I never even realized there was a pilot - if Screaming George is supposed to be the pilot?

Glad you like it!  The base should be pretty cool. A mix of "Alien" and "Orkmerican Pickers"

 

George is hooked up, but I kind of see him as the most recent of sacrifices to keep her going. I've always thought all the little dripping faces on her abdomen would be a constant gross morphing and moaning (or farting) mass. But really, as long as she's fed, she's quite a pleasant conversationalist. :)

[hushrong]

That is terrifying! Truly terrifying. Like when you try to kill a roach and then it spreads wings and flies kind of terrifying.

 

*look down to see I subconsciously untied my shoe and began to pull it off to start swinging.

[Augustus b'Raass]

 

You're quite a pleasant conversationalist.

 

[Brother Lunkhead]

Miss Charlotte looks absolutely fantastic  Hard to believe it's been 3 years since you started the project... ah me...... time flies eh? Well worth the time put in. She's a real work of art and I love the name 

[deathspectersgt7]

At last !!!! She looks so Cute.

[Calyptra]

Stunning.

 

Which is sort of cliche praise, I know. I'm trying to come up with a better word, but my vocabulary is failing me on account of how stunned I am.

[rednekkboss]

Thanks, ya'll for the praise!  I'm hoping the base will be equally awesome (but not take 3 years to finish)

, started on it today.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Pictures or it didn't happen.

[Sagentus]

Amazing work red! Certainly worth the wait. She turned out perfectly putrid! Whats next on the agenda?
