youbastards Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 I saw stack32's black wash he applied to Master Chief and decided to do the same with a spare I have. I also added some Citadel 'Shining Gold' to the visor to give it a more traditional look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Oooh, that's a great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 The washes really do bring out the depth in these Minimates. And the silver paint on the Elite makes it look so intricate and detailed. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks guys! Some more repaints, a Pink Spartan and a Gold Elite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Hey - they look cool. Forgive my ignorance, but is there actually a pink spartan in the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Awesome repaints! I plan on buying lot's of extras to repaint as well. Hey - they look cool. Forgive my ignorance, but is there actually a pink spartan in the game? Yes, pink is one (of many) color that you can choose from for your chacter you customize when playing online.

youbastards Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks, I'm really happy with the gold Elite! Not sure why I decided to go with a pink Spartan of all the potential colors, it just seemed like a good idea. Yeah, I've found myself picking these sets up just for repainting now... I also found a set that that has 3 Plasma swords included!!! I went to 2 different TRU's today, and the only Halo sets that were left were the Jorge/Noble 6 set, these appear to be the peg-warmers of the first wave.

youbastards Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 I wanted to experiment more with washes, so I applied a blue wash to the Active Camo Spartan. After the blue wash dried, I added a purple wash. I think it turned out pretty close to the effect used for Cortana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 That looks freaking awesome, TM2. Damn! You've just made me wanna buy into a license i had no previous interest in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 oh sh!t . . . sorry - i was reading multiple threads at once and apparently got a bit muddled. LOL. Great work YB! that blue/purple wash on the clear spartan looks superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 No worries! Yeah, you should pick up some of these if you weren't planning on it, I really like them a lot more than I thought I would. If you need help tracking any of them down, let me know. My TRU has restocked the Halo 'mates twice now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 HAHAHAHA Nessex, you're funny. YB, I think the Cortana effect you were looking for came out perfect. I hope we get Cortana in wave 2 or so because I'll totally get her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Thanks! I'm guessing that if/when we do get her released (if she isn't a tiny accessory for the 'mates to carry) then she'll be either clear transparent (ala Active Camo) or just a basic clear blue or purple 'mate. Either way, a light wash should be able to make her stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 It really does! I hope we get a Cortana!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Nice painting! Really gives that glowy translucent feel. I'm hoping that we do see Cortana in the future so we can finally get a proper purple translucent Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 Another Active Camo wash, this time blue mixed with metallic silver. It's hard to see in the pix, but the metallic silver gives a subtle shininess to the 'mate. Minimates M.A.X. Chief of Police (quick custom) Cypher [Doug Ramsey] Pre techno-organic infection (quick custom) Forge - he was on my WIP pile for a while, MsMarvel Fan's recent custom spurred me to finish him up.

youbastards Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 A quick 'power effect' I made for Karma, it bothers me that we didn't get a sculpted part for her power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Active Camo with the silver looks amazing!!! Can't wait to find one of these somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 it bothers me that we didn't get a sculpted part for her power. me too. Considering the massive amount of newly sculpted parts we got for the Warlock/Magik 2-pack, i'd have expected at least one orginal sculpted piece in the NM box set Still - at least we got the characters. Your custom effect looks spot on! Nice work YB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Thanks guys! Here's another of 'Marvel's Misfits' that will never see a production 'mate: Terror, from 'Terror, Inc.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I've never heard of 'terror', but that figure looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
