The war machines are great. The death rocket looks like a lot of work, I don’t think I’ll ever have the patience to build something like that out of plasticard.

Not really an update 
Just to let you all know that I have been working on my projekt. I have made a new hero fig, with a huge staff in his hand, standing on a finished base - and most of all - all painted
And here we go …
Oh! no - can’t really show you :hat
But it’s official now - I have entered GH V
Willmark:
Damn you Clam! Don’t do that. get some pics got us!

GH V Update
So now that it’s official who made which models - I will post my first painted Scratch Build Chaos Dwarf in here too.
But first the classic WIPs:
And then some in full colours 
Not much to say really - but I’m quite pleased with the colour scheme made from browns and greens. It turned out pretty much as pictured in my mind.
And the base … that was a hard nut - but with a little help from a tutorial (that I found on BrushThralls.com) I worked it out - I think! Want to try it out on a few other models now - to see if it really works.
And the banner itself … yes, that was the true challenge - as it should be in a “Painting a Banner” competitions - I guess! I knew instantly how to design it (after seeing the Slaanesh icon at the new SCM sprue) - but I really didn’t know what to put on it, but then I accidentally found that old piece of artwork - and choose to try out my first freehand painting ever. I’m sorry that it turned out that black - would have liked it in more brown tones. But after many painting hours - I didn’t have the courage re-painting it though :~ - so I’ll have to live with that.
So here he is - and that silver medal should really motivate me - to paint up some more models - now!
Kera foehunter:
thanks for the wip i like your figure and voted for it.did you use a marker on the banner or hand painted it??
torn:
the hand painted banner and rune of hashut is very very cool. i like his chaotic helmet too.
the highlighting on the beard makes it a bit too grey for me, but it does work with the overall tones of the piece in its entirety so i cant complain.
Khan!:
The freehand on the banner is brilliant - and, interestingly enough, it is partly the fact that it is so black (that is, starkly so) that I like it so much. So don’t be sorry for the way it turned out!
Ishkur Cinderhat:
This is one of the best paint jobs in the current Golden Hat. And a very unique colour scheme, totally different from the common red / black. Now you have been chosen by the community and commanded by your Patron God to continue work on your army and show more painted miniatures!
Is it just me, or does the rune of Hashut point into the wrong direction? Now it says !tuhsaH 
clam:
Thanks for the nice comments - and for the votes of course 
So glad you liked it.
The banner drawing is painted with a mix of Formula P3 - Battlefield Brown and GW Chaos Black, and as said I would have liked it a bit more brown, as it has dried up a bit to dark IMO.
It’s painted with a very small brush - a Winsor & Newton Cotman 0000. Only a few hairs one this brush - and a very small amount of paint added. I hate painting with it, as the paints dries up so fast on brush itself, but I like the results.
This is one of the best paint jobs in the current Golden Hat.Coming form you - one of the best brush masters here at CDO - is such a compliment - and should indeed motivate me to do more - thank you very much!

No, it’s not just you. I noticed it, when I was painting it - but didn’t wanted to start all over - those rivets are a pain in the … (they are made from .025" plastic rod - and for every 100 I cut - 10 finds it way to the model itself :D). But then again - the BSB should be up in the front line - so to all the warriors - with a lack of faith - it would be Hashut after all:P
clam:
And then I have to show this one of - sorry, don’t want to brag
Know that it doesn’t belong here in this blog - but I have to share this with you guys, who will understand the enthusiasm (as my wife to be - don’t :().
My newly bought Mage showed up a few days ago - and he is now striped:
Here he is:
- now I have to find a way to do him justice!
torn:
cant wait to see what you do with it! wish my version looked as cool as the proper one (grumbles)
0000 brushes arent that bad, i have a vallejo one i find it is ok for free hand.
as far as rivets are concerned, have you tried using putty to make them, put on a tiny tiny tiny blob and then flatten the edges down leaving only a circle shape in the middle. Ive also head putting a tiny blob on then when its dried a bit pushing the end of a mechanical pencil also works.
Kera foehunter:
wow i under stand thats cool !!! i havn’t went back to get any of those old cd prices are too high for me.
clam:
Hi,
So sorry I am - for keep you all waiting :~
But I really don’t have time for my project at the time!
Why?
- I did a stupid thing
Which is?
- I asked my girlfriend (known her for 14 years) the big question the 2nd December 2007 - hoping for a small private wedding just the 2 of us. BIG mistake - don’t you ever do that.
I’m now caught up in a huge party - and my wife to be is blocking the door to my tresure hole - constantly :(
Every time I just look at the door - she falls on me with questions about anything related to the upcomming event. Things I don’t even have an opinion about - like flowers, serviettes, menu, seating plans and …
But tomorrow it’s all over. So I’m getting married tomorrow - the 10th of May - and then I can - hopefully - get on with my life - and perhaps finish 20 af these 
Kera foehunter:
congrads yea!!! great hobgoblins too
so clam i wish you the best Kera gives clam a hug to (the single guy) for the last time
Knight Of Awsome:

This_Is_My_Boomstick!!:
hobbos look really cool
good luck for today :cheers
Ishkur Cinderhat:
These are brilliant! Based on Skaven plague monks, I suppose? That’s a very nice take on our favourite greenskin serfs!
And congrats to your marriage. May your new master treat you with the same benevolence as Hashut did.

Update 08-15-2008
So sorry �?" I keep trying … , but my day just don�?Tt seem to have hours enough
I�?Tm well over the wedding (Thanks guys and girls), the holiday in Spain, euro2008 and a lot of other things´- and I feel that now is the time to begin working on my army - again.
I felt a need to kick start this, so I have started working on a Earthshaker �?" you can follow this project in my WIP-thread: 'Building me an Earthshaker I am�?T in the conversions forums �?" so I won�?Tt talk about it here.
I have put my CD warriors on standby �?" as I�?Tm thinking very hard about casting these in resin �?" but finding the materials at a fair price (It will cost me a Marauder Mage �?" for shipping 2-3kg of silicon and resin to where I am), but I might have found what I am looking for.
However, this summer I�?Tve started another �?~core�?T project of mine. I showed you the prototypes but here they are in all there greys and greens:
The Hobgoblins, 19 out of 24 - with hand weapon and shield
They still need a lot of work �?" especially their pixy hats (Bulk work :sick)
As said before, I�?Tm very pleased with the result �?" and I�?Tm especially fond of the way that the command group turned out. So I�?Tll give you some close ups �?" hope you like them as I do.
Big Boss
Musician
Standard Bearer
Actually, I�?Tm so happy with the concept, that I have bought another Plague Monks box set and an additional 10 Plague Monk Bodies.
These are going to be armed with this:
So here is where the army stands right now (I really hope that seeing all these naked bases will motivate me to continue on).
And now to something completly different:
Don�?Tt want to brag or anything �?" and I know these acutally don�?Tt belong in here (this �?~blog�?T) at all �?" but �?~This_is_my_boomstick�?T made me a very, very happy man (as showed in my �?owant thread�?�) 
I finally got the last Marauder MM90 Chaos Dwarf (the MM90/2a) �?" this is a huge milestone in my Collecting Quest. So I have to share with somebody - and there is no better place - so here they are 
Think they will be �?~Painting Marathon exclusives�?T :hat off

Obsidian:
Ah, so cool you’ve now have them all! I still need three so I’m quite jealous! :hat off
