That coupled with the "Finecast" issues certainly made it an unpopular painting piece.<br /><br />The Enterprise is now finished and should be posted soon. I do have a few vessels I'm contemplating for "Mirror Universe" opposition; so don't be surprised to see the I.S.S. Enterprise at some point (I already own it for "Star Trek Attack Wing").Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-47943355255404166362016-09-27T16:37:47.411-07:002016-09-27T16:37:47.411-07:00For being such a royal pain in the arse (As all of...For being such a royal pain in the arse (As all of my own Finecast experienced have proven), your sorcerer has come out quite lovely mate.

I must confess that if I saw a metal version of a Rotbringers Sorcerer (which is what it was originally cast in), then I'd be sorely tempted to get it and paint it up.<br /><br />The starships by "Irregular Miniatures" are especially nice now I'm starting to move up in ship size.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-87862424058708755012016-09-25T08:45:29.512-07:002016-09-25T08:45:29.512-07:00I do like that Sorcerer with all his scrolls tucke...I do like that Sorcerer with all his scrolls tucked under his arms, but sorry to hear that the casting was a bit of a pig.

However as you say, I've encountered that issue on many an occasion, only to repeatedly clean the mini and then keep spotting more vent flash is a first for me.

As a result the sorcerer is easy to miss on the tabletop until he starts summoning etc - which may be an advantage :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-36771945534571778722016-09-25T04:39:36.954-07:002016-09-25T04:39:36.954-07:00No tantrums here, Clint ;-) But the sorcerer did p...No tantrums here, Clint ;-) But the sorcerer did put me off painting for a few nights. I actually saw a few colour schemes for him on the net, and in the end went with the "GW" one from the "Grand Alliance: Chaos" book. I may give the Bloodletters an additional red highlight over their pimples but I'm going to wait until after I've tried blending in their black hands and horns first, and got their shining gold swords painted.

I think the trouble is with like most materials of a similar colour there hard to see the moldlines etc until you start applying paint.<br /><br />Simon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-55102775885509196542016-09-25T03:59:00.648-07:002016-09-25T03:59:00.648-07:00Your trials and tribulations with your laughingly ...Your trials and tribulations with your laughingly called "Finecast" Nurgle Sorcerer just provides me with yet more ammo for why I hate GW so much.

I can see that you want it foreboding but fo me it is just a little too dark. <br /><br />The blood letter though looks just about right but perhaps a tad (and just a tad) of hi light might be applied. I agree it is always frustrating to think you have the figure all cleaned up and then find some you had missed first time out.
