I Did Another Statuee. This Time It's Venus Callipyge, A Roman Recreation Of The Greek Original

I did another statuee. This time it's Venus Callipyge, a Roman recreation of the Greek original

Apparently the name, Venus of the Beautiful Buttocks, is falsely attributed, but it does probably depict Venus (or Aphrodite in the original)

Oh also when it resurfaced in the 1500s it was headless, and the head was reconstructed. I wonder how many ancient works of art were reconstructed to the same degree as that famously terrible Jesus painting restoration and have just been quietly forgotten or destroyed out of embarrassment, the restoration artist banished from the kingdom

Alright I implied Maleceptors next but the Neurolictor called to me. What do we think of Hive Fleet Callinectes for the name?

This one's the actual GW model, since I'm not a fan of what I was able to find for free online, and my FLGS had one at a good price. Base is still a print tho

I do like these new tyranid sculpts, I should probably get the codex eventually... maybe once I hit 1k painted

Okay now actually on to the Maleceptors. Maybe. Unless I get distracted and do something else instead

"Don't talk to me or my son ever again"

I ran into a creative wall painting my player character for Lancer, so I decided to take a break and revisit gunpla. I love the Zaku, and I'm glad I did research on all the different available kits before buying a couple. This is the High Grade kit for Chars Zaku ii from the Origin movies, which has a much more detailed chassis than previous High Grades.

Oh, I also 3D printed a new eye ring, since the one you get is just flat and you slap a sticker on it, lame.

I have the Real Grade Chars Zaku ii as well, which I'll be painting in his colors, so for this one I went with the classic green. This was fun and relaxing, and much easier than my first attempt at gunpla

I went ahead and did up the heat hawk as well for some posing fun. The kit also comes with the bazooka and the huge anti ship rifle, but I intended this to be a pretty bog standard grunt so I'm saving the extra kit for Chars

More DnD slapchop, this time a stoic Hobgoblin leader

So I've spent the last month or so getting a little too into Lancer, I could rant about how amazing it is but just go check it out if you're not familiar. Anyways I'm making some of the NPC mechs, mainly out of free 3d print files I found online. Here's my first Assault mech, the generic shooty one

The big defender in our first encounter for Lancer, a Bastion. Not too much to say other than I'm glad it's done, far too many corners and hidden surfaces, and the model has several notable weak points I've had to address so it took much longer than I was hoping
