Where Have You Been!?

Okay! It's been a while since I've posted, but I've got a few treats in store for you guys. We've just launched into 2015, and that's a good thing! December of 2014 was a very, very busy month for yours truly. However, it's now January, and I intend to cut back a bit and catch up on a few things, this blog included. 

The last time I posted, I put up my little Hasslefree Bulldog, intended for the contest over on the WAMP forum. Sadly, he did not place! Of course, not all was lost as there were some very good submissions over on the forum, and those are always nice to look at. Kudos to the winners!

So here's what I worked on in December:

"Hello! I'm the Doctor!" I worked vigorously on a Dr. Who diorama for my nephew for Christmas. Now let it be known that I have seen very little of Dr. Who, and I couldn't have completed this diorama without help from the good people on the Reaper forum. This diorama was a rush job that I started on a Saturday afternoon and finished up by Tuesday midday. Every night was a late one, but I needed to do a great job on the piece, and overall, I believe I accomplished that. 

Pretty much all of this piece was custom made, save for the miniatures themselves. The 10th Doctor is actually Dr. Hugh II from Heresy Miniatures, and Rose is actually Daisy Taylor from Crooked Dice Miniatures. Everything else was custom built by myself. The WIP of this project is over on the Reaper site, if you're curious. It's not super detailed as I was flying through this project to get it done in time. The fun thing is that the light on top and the internal lights flash when the piece is turned on via a switch in the bottom. My nephew has the make the WOOOSHH!! WOOOSHH!! sounds himself.

Somewhere In Time And Space....

 

Hello Doctor!

The Companion

Doctor Close Up

Rose Close Up

I did some detail on Rose's back as per web references.

At any rate, my nephew loved his Christmas present. I'm scheduled to get another Doctor in who was on back order. I may build another diorama and possibly either keep it or put it up for sale somewhere. My curio cabinet is filling up fast, so I'm going to have to find something to do with all of these pieces! 

Secondly, I finally finished my Year of the Giants diorama entry for the Reaper Forum. They haven't been judged yet, but I am very happy with the way it came out. You may remember Kaya the Reaper from an earlier post, and this diorama was her final destination. Again, most of this was scratch built. The tree is made of wire and milliput. The cliff is carved out of cork. The bundling around the baby is made of green stuff, which I am growing fond of. You can read more about this piece on the forum post here. Normally I copy backstory and post it here, but this blog is already too long...

At any rate, it's been a very busy time for yours truly. I hope to post more now that I have these major projects behind. If you have any questions or ideas for upcoming blogs, feel free to contact me or leave a post below. Thank you so much for reading!
