Watch your step

Beri crismas manueeeé !! Para aquellos que no lo sepan ( quizas por no tener perro o por ser unos soberanos cerdos ) un PIPICAN es donde en teoria los buenos y civicos ciudadanos llevan a su chucho a que levante la pata. El zombie desafortunado pensaria "hoy no debiera haberme levantado" ...si tubiera ojos !! Nunca se sabe cuando va a haber un cementerio indio (mnn, idea!) bajo la parcela que compraste...

Acrilicos vallejo, tintas y metalicos citadel (viejos) y el cesped es algo funky, cesped electoestatico para wargames, con una manita de barniz satinado diluido con agua para endurecerlo, pincel seco amarillo, blanco, tinta verde orco y un par mas de pinceladas. Si no so parezco suficientemente idiota aun, los tonos de pellejo empiezan con una base verde gris oscuro y acaban asi!

.: laZyMinis :.

For those not aware of what a PIPICAN (you dirty citizens) it's the place where, at least where I live, the good boys go for a walk with his/her dog so it can attend nature's call without claymore mining the sidewalks. I made the signal to look really cheap and added a "watch your step" (wich should be conveniently placed on the actual panels) just for the fun. This unlucky zombie would sure think "I'd better not have got up today".

Vallejo model/game color, old citadel metals and inks were used on this fellow. The funky grass (it has to naturally grow there with so much fertilizer) is actually wargaming grass. I burshed a layer of satin varnish thinned with water to make it harder, then drybrushed yellow, white, washed with orc flesh wash... yeah, I'm that stupid. I even start the zombie skintones with dark green grey and end up with this. Doh.

Happy Meal

Otro viejo amigo por fin acabado. Imprimacion blanca y Vallejo Model Color, con algunas tintas y metalicos citadel. Las baldosas del suelo quizas necesiten pincel seco para realzarlas mas. El zombie suertudo ha encontrado comida y se dispone a almorzarsela tenedor en mano!

.: laZyMinis :.

Another oldie sitting on the table to be painted. I used white citadel primer, Vallejo Model color, few gamecolor and citadel old inks and metals. Maybe the floor need a bit of drybrush to make it stand out and look more rocky. This lucky zombie just found a meal and is ready to lunch it helping himself with a fork. Who said zombies have no manners?

Most colorful zombie ever?

Posiblemente el zombie mas colorido ( Colorful !!1! Colorful!!1! ;) que haya visto. La elección de colores usados es todo un misterio para mi, asi que no me pregunteis :) Lo unico que tenia claro es que era un chaval zombie skater, como los de los videos de Avril La Vixen, de ahi el tipo de atuendo y calzado el cual si tenia pensado que fuera blanco. Por fin acabado. Con suerte en lugar de empezar algo acabare loas 4 proyectos abiertos que tengo sobre la mesa a poder ser, antes el 2007 (ni yo me lo creo). Feliz navidad a todos (?).

.: laZyMinis :.

Maybe this one is the most ridiculously colorful ( Colorful !!1! Colorful!!1! ;) that I've ever seen. The color palette choices are a mystery even to me :) The only think I had on my mind beforehand start painting was that he should look like a skater zombie kid, you know the ones like Avril La Vixen videos and such :P thus the gear I sculpted and the shoes wich I already decided were going to be white. Done at last, hope to finish the other 4 projects already started and sitting on my workbench... maybe before 2007 arrives (ha!). Oh, and merry Xmas to everyone out there (?)

Welcome Mr. Barlow

¡Bienvenido Mr. Barlow! Seria el titulo que se le hubiera dado a la pelicula si en vez de a Jerusalem's Lot hubiera llegado a un pueblete de la españa profunda. O quiza no, y se hubiera seguido llamando "Fantasma II" :))

Si, con "F". El Sr. Barlow debe medir unos 3 o 4 cm de alto como mucho (quien tenga ganas que venga y lo mida). Mas de lo mismo; Super Sculpey, Nural 21, Nural 34 (rancia) y lanceta son los ingredientes de este "vampiro gotico" del telefilm de Tobe Hopper sospechosamente parecido al conde Orlok de Murnau.

.: laZyMinis:.

Poor Jerusalem's Lot townfolks... well they pretty desevered it ideed ;) Tobe Hopper's telefilm was wrongly titled Phantasma II not being a sequel of phantasma at all. I'd have titled it Welcome Mr.Barlow instead and try to sell it as a sequel of Welcome Mr.Marshall if you asked me. Aside from those pathetic typical spaniard turds (TST from now on) I think the 2 part movie is a classic and it's vamp looks really close to count Orlok from Murnau's film (wich I love).

Humoristic approach to the character more on the side of midget monsters/tiny terrors garage kits than the usual Toon Stuff I use to sculpt. Sadly it's a Halloween gift piece so I do not own it anymore. Scuper Sculpey, Nural 21 and Nural 34 where used. Enjoy.

Como desde vuestras casa no veis lo que pasa por mi cabeza cuando pienso en una mini aqui pongo una muestra. Todos mis "habitantes del sistema se veran asi". La fotografia no esta retocada infograficamente salvo el texto "lazyminis" añadido. Fotografia practicamente a oscuras con una nikon. No esta movida... la energia "color neon" del programa es tan viva que la camara la capta asi. Me es imposible tomar una fotografia mejor... es como pedir buenas fotos de ovnis, aunque esto que veis aqui os garantizo no solo que existe sino que esta en la estanteria. Es la misma mini.

.: laZyMinis :.

I was going for something totally new with my "guard program" and all the upcoming "system inhabitants" (everyone of them will glow like this one. Hope this helps to figure out what's on my mind. This is the same mini, and no, it's not photoshopped. Pic is perfectly taken, tripod used with a very good nikon cam, but at almost no light condition so it's fluorescent energy steam being so intense it looks in all the pics it shakes but it's the vivid light effect. This took me time. I have to admit I've never seen something lke it before so I'm pretty proud :) Pic quality CAN'T be any better... it's like UFO sightings but this one not only truly exists but stands on my shelf.

WIP October 06

Tamaños, medidas y demas tonteridas. Esto es lo que tengo por acabar en octubre, el tasi, el coxe, el kid zombi y el hombre-bobo. Notese que el licantropo es ligeramente mas corpuleto que un fulano cualquiera. A saber el logo que le pintare al zombie en la ropa. NOFX, Toymachine...

.: laZyMinis:.

An overall view of what's on my workbench this month. A kid zombie (have yet to decide wich logo I will paint on his sweater, maybe NOFX, Toymachine or any other surf-skater oriented stuff), the therewolf (note it's a bit larger than the averaje Joe, and the two vehicles. This pic was also taken to show size of each. All plastic bases are 20 mm. Cheers.

Mas proyectos a medias ? Pues si. Y tampoco pongo el signo de interrogacion abierto, que pasa! Otra cosa que tenia en mente probar, los oxidos. Casualmente me puse la segunda del tetanos hace poco...

En fin, un vehiculo de reconocimiento, o para querreros de la carretera, o rebeldes, mutantes o pandilleros de los bajos fondos. Le faltan las ruedas, los cristales, la torreta y cuatro detalles de "acabado". Por cierto menudo "kit" de resina... horas de papel de lija, cutter... como en los viejos tiempos ;D Entre otras cosas he estado probando barniz en spray marca "artifex " el cual no me convence aunque no lo he probado sobre ninguna de mis miniaturas aun... pero me tiene acongojado. Tambien Tengo por aqui un barniz para manualidades brillante, para los cristales, veremos que tal. Por acabar de pintar: el lobo-hombre, el tasis, este vehiculo y un zombie...

A ver si asi se me anima un poco la gente si no a actualizar sus paginas y blogs a participar un poquito de este :)

Dedicado a vosotros, putillas, los que pasais por aqui (y algunos leeis y todo, si, como el playboy que letras tambien tiene) pero no osais dejar comentarios. No pasa nada bucaneros, que no es de mal nacido ser introvertido. Yo, agradecido. Como dicen los depeche mode "everything counts in large amounts"

.:laZyMinis:.

Yup, a WIP, one more time baby. So far I still have to finish this one, the cab, a teenage zombie and the howler seen on the last post... phew! This oldie / oddity just was my first attempt at rust effect.

Wheels, windshield, the gatling gun on the top and it will be finished. Just posted to keep the blog alive. People seem to not being too active lately so hope at least they will cheer seeing a bit of my progress. This gang-mutant-roadwarrior-explorer-whatever vehicle was a hell of a resin kit, like the oldie it as! A lot of sanding and hobby knife work was needed here but I did feel like a 16 year old with his new toy :) by the way, I've been testing artifex matt varnish spray but don't dare yet to use on minis...I'm not really confident about it. Also purchased a lil bottle of sculpey's GLOSS.

Hope you guy(s) like it. Dedicated to every reader - watcher (yeah some will go playboy magazine style and leave without reading a word!) even those that don't even leave comments. As in Depeche Mode's song "...everything counts in large amounts"

Happy Halloween !!

aaaAAAUUUUUUU!!! Espero que os guste el lobo-hombre (le llamo Dennís). Estoy particularmente contento con los pelos en los brazos estilo obrero y la anatomia en general que recuerda a una mezcla de popeye y los vinilos de diseño tipicos de artistas de hong kong. Nada mas que añadir salvo que paseis un feliz Samhain !

.: laZyMinis :.

Can you hear the howlings? Hope you'll like my therewolf. I'm specially happy with the popeye the sailor / hong kong vinyl artist stile of anatomy on the arms and back, needless to say I love the typical macho hair on its forearms. Nothing else to add but wish you all happy All Hallow's Eve !!

He tomado como referencia ilustraciones, libros de aerografia, la vida real incluso... al final me decante por un cartel de cine (tematica cyberpunk).

Creo que deberia añadir brillos en blanco simulando el efecto de la luz natural sobre el cristal y barnizarlo con esmalte de uñas o con varias capas de barniz brillante.

Es mi primer SENMM y de hecho mi 4 figuran pintada desde que deje el modelismo hace tiempo. Esta demasiado recargado para lo que es el estilo y deberia simplemente pintar los cristales de mis vehiculos negros con algun brillo en gris y barniz brillante?

.: lazyminis :.

My fourth mini painted since my 90's break and my first SENMM try. Thanks for all your suggestions. Maybe I'll just glaze it again with black, a couple of times... then varnish it glossy or propably will use those fingernail extra thick and glossy products. Before doing I might add thinned white slashes or dots to create natural light reflections where it bounces on the windshield surface.

What do you thin guys, it's way too overdone for that cartoony style / it's poorly done even for a first try ... so better paint my windshields black bending some white reflections and then gloss varnish 'em (simpler than my SENMM approach) ?

I've checking artbooks, ilustrations, real life examples, airbrush books (and of course all the pics and tutorials suggested) but finally the pic that came handy was a ciberpunk style movie poster.

Here is a reference pic of the colour scheme I'm using yet, since it's cyberpunk oriented I might add the typical NY cab back-white checker side strip.

Ademas de todas las minis que he esculpido y estan por pintar (teneis prisa por ver alguna en especial pintada? -nota: si victor, si, el marine y el alienigena- ;) Este mes tengo "sobre la mesa" Este macho cabrio de Caja de pandora (Aquelarre , escultor S.Sanchez como no ;) y dos escarabajos de Grenadier (killzone, escultor desconocido por mi, puede que copplestone como el resto de minis de la gama) uno de los cuales se ve que sera un taxi.

Informacion inutil aparte, no se como pintar el otro vehiculo, los cristales de ambos (AYUDA !!).

.: lazyminis :.

All the minis I've sculpted so far are crying to get painted but instead thisis what I have on my workbench by now; 2 vehicles from Grenadier (the game was killzone, and the sculptor probably Copplestone since the human miniatures were his work) and a satanic goat from Caja de Pandora (aquelarre roleplaying game, sculpted by S. Sanchez).

Dunno how the second vehicle will be painted but this one is gonna be a taxi. Need serious help about painting the glass.

Mirandolo en retrospectiva, el modelado hubiera lucido mas si hubiera hecho una simple capa base metalica y un lavado de tinta, pero no hubiera sido el pintado que tenia en mente mientras esculpia. Tengo en mente una pequeña linea de figuras "programa" con un look que trae a la mente films como Tron o El cortador de cesped. El primero en la serie es este programa guardia, cuya ocupacion es despachar virus, hacer que el resto de programas cumplan con sus obligaciones, etc.

En el futuro veo unos programas guardia mas, programas de hacker, gusanos, programas infectados y escenografia (tableros modulares) cada cual con su fosforescencia adecuada. La miniatura es S.Sculpey y sobrevuela ligeramente la peana de 20mm. Quiero que todos floten sobre el suelo para acentuar que no son unicamente personas diminutas vivendo dentro del ordenador. Ah, un suplicio de pintar...

.: lazyminis :.

Looking back at it before the paintjob would had been easier and maybe looked better if I only basecoated it in boltgun metal and the shaded it with washes, Definetly the sculp would shine in this way but I had something else in mind when I was sculpting it.

I'm preparing a series of "program" minis that look fairly close to films like Tron, the Lanmower man, etc. First on this series is a guard program, guys who hunt down virus, make other programs behave correctly... coming next: some infected programs, worms, hacking tools and some modular board scenery just for the fun, maybe display bases.

Everything will glow on its own color. S.Sculpey original sculp pinned on wire to a 20mm square base. it was a pain to paint. I didn't want 'em look like tiny men inside the comp. so I made him to float slighly instead of walking over the floor. It was a pain to paint...

anksunamuuuuun !!1!

Xavi se parte con esto... ;)

En fin. Sorpresa sorpresa... otro zombie. El zombie de museo (como se puede apreciar por el suelo que pisa, pedazos de cristal de vitrina incluidos) es, como en los anteriores casos un montoncito de super-sculpey, un trozo defieltro, una peana de plastico de 20 mm y unos trocitos de caja de CD. Lo de super Sculpey suena muy "super" pero la uso casi exclusivamente porque debo tener 1 kilo en casa y hay que gastarlo.

.: lazyminis :.

Since he watched the movie my pal keeps crying that everytime, lol !

Fear the curse of the Museum Zombie (as you can notice from the floor and the broken glass). Made from super-sculpey (note: I actually have a 1 kilo supply so have to use it for something), a piece of fabric to simulate carpet, some bits of a purposedly broken Cd jewell case and a 20 mm plastic base. That's my second try with Vallejo model color.

Notas de diseño: peliculas, miniaturas... siempre son de color zombiesco, vease gris, morado, verdoso, etc. Resulta que son negras como el sobaco de un grillo ¿ tal vez por la mano de barniz-alquitran que les daban? En segundo lugar esta gente al palmarla tenia un viaje gratix al inframundo, por lo que entre los bendajes les ponian amuletos. Queria plasmar ese tipo de chorradas. Acrylicos Vallejo, model color. Os recomiendo buscarlos en las jugueterias POLY (tiendas de modelismo por toda españa, yo voy a plaza universidad enfrente de lo cines aribau). Inspiracion? mi amigo tal vez os pueda echar una mano con eso. Yo creia que era un pesado pero para el soy un peso pluma... como sonrrie el perraco :))

.: lazyminis :.

Design notes: first, real mumies are pitch black so forget those movies, toons, toys,minis where they show 'em pale gray, green or purple like zombies. Then you got the fac they ere to travel thru the infraworld so the had lucky charms between the cloth. I wanted both stuff to be shown on my mini even being done in my usual funny proportions. In case you wonder where the inspiration came from, ask my new found friend. I'm fat as hell but he still manages to smile, LOL !! :)
