Pin-up girl "Hulk Buster"

I've finished painting the banner for my customer's Blood Angels Army. It was very fun painting this pin-up girl and I really happy with the result. This is my second time painting a woman, my first time was more than ten years ago when I studied at University :)
Thank you so much to my customer for gave me an opportunity to make this project and Scott Blair for his beautiful artwork. Happy painting to all :)

Pin-up

I've been working on this commission project for a while. My customer asked me to make a large banner for his space marines army with a Pin-up girl on it. He sent me some references and ideas for this project and included the pic of this beautiful pin-up girl that I found out it designed by Scott Blair (click to see his web site HERE) I accepted this commission and postponed another projects because this is the thing that I've never done before (painting a pin-up) and I always want to try something new if I have a chance :)
It quite difficult during the sketch for make she has a sexy looks and proper shape as same in the original pic. I spent a lot of time during this process and after I finished the sketch, it's time to have fun with the painting!!


The banner was made from thin rolled Magic-sculpt and plastic rod for the pole. I rubbed the pole with vaseline before put on the Magic-sculpt in order to make the pole not to stuck with Magic-sculpt and make the banner can adjustable after it completely dried.

In Progress, January 2014

Here are the projects that I'm currently working on and some of it are still waiting on the table from last year  :) Every times when I finished any projects, I usually start the new project and working along with the old one when it use the same process such as cleaning, assembling, filling, sanding or sculpting. In order to make it has more progress in every projects (even a little bit progress :) This is because I have many project that I've planed to do and this method helps me to save more time during the making of each project. Also, makes me have more time to consider about the details, composition or etc. and a chance to improve or change some details on the old projects to make it even better before painting. 


As you can see, I've finished the construction of two marines for SMOD project and now it's ready to paint. I've planed to write an article of how to make a display plinth with gaming base socket that I made for The Emperor's Champion. I'll post more progress of SMOD and the article soon. 
Also, this is the second time that I post the progress of Orc flagger (you can see the first post here). It has changed a lot from the begining (because the reason that I mentioned earlier of this post), and this is the third base that I made for this mini. This time it looks better in composition and has more details to tell the story. I'm happy with the results and now it's ready to paint as well.
Another project on my workbench is Recon Grenadiers from Dust Tactics. I love the concept and mechanics design of this game and want to paint it for a long time. These minis are the part of the vignette that I've planed to do and hope I can finished in this year. 
The last one is goblin standard bearer, I have a funny idea for this little guy and hope it works when finished.
So far from my workbench, Happy Modelling to all :)
