Update-ish thingy
14 years ago
So, now that I've posted some of the miniatures, I'm going to hold off until I start posting more of them. Eventually, I'll have a huge, collaged pile of detailed pics of all the specific stuff, once I got the whole army done.
That's right, one leader and a squad has more or less exploded into a full 40k army, with banditos, mariachi snipers, bikers lead by Zorro, Cuban Pete riding in a tank that has flame paint....
The sad/hilarious part is, so far, the only people to get offended are White. Most hispanics tall me, if anything, I'm not going far ENOUGH. I'm trying to avoid jokes about, say, beans, laziness, drug dealers, gangs, and what-have. Yes, it's an entire army covered in sombreros, moustaches, cacti, ponchos, and the occasional peppering of maracas (and one pin'ata), but it's all intended to be in good fun, as a roundabout means of making fun of how absurdly Roman the Ultramarines are.
....and it makes game-nerd purists cry, which is ALWAYS a plus.
I've actually got the whole mess ALMOST done, now. I just need to finish the bikes, sculpt Zorro's wrap-shirt over his armor, sculpt his massive cape and all that, and then when I get my last two tanks back, they'll just need final paint and modification/spoilers/coffee-can mufflers. Probably even do a drop pod as a giant cactus (one friend suggested a giant pin'ata, but all the ruffly paper'd burn up on atmospheric entry, and then it'd just look sad), then all I'll need to do is get one of those portable photo booth thingies, so I can get better pics of the stuff.
In the meantime, taking welding class for yet another semester, and the timing of the class means I have to show up absurdly early. In other words, I'll be doodling again, and you folks'll hopefully finally see more coming to you from my pads, along with my hobby desk!
