Ron Hembling shares a WarHammer 40K Custom Project...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, November 25 2020
"Hi All,
Space Wolves - Grey Hunter 7.5" scale.
Recipe.
Figure - is from Mcfarlane and was originally an Ultramarine and I repainted and weathered him using Vallejo and GW paints and the images on the shoulder pads and right knee pad were hand drawn on using a led pencil.
The fur is fake fur repainted brown and then lightly dry brushed with medium grey and the light grey, the purity seals are done using high density foam and an old hanky and the rune stones and teeth were made using high density foam.
Base - was from an old 1:12 dewback resin kit and I just painted and weathered it and the snow was done by using watered down spakfilla.
Ron"
Ron just makes stuff look real. Period. What more can I say about his work over the years?

-- Posted by Tamer on Monday, November 23 2020
"Final pictures of G.I.JOE Armoury commission are now live on my website
Painting is underway in the Ark, I've mixed up a bright orange with I am applying two coats because the first coat is too dark. Teletraan and the consoles are also having their second coat added, the first coat I used a new air brush paint which would be fine to use as a second coat but not a first. The paint was too thin for the foam.
When this dries, a second coat will be applied to the back wall and floor and then again to the consoles and Teletraan."
It is all looking great.

Here is my latest Nevarro diorama that also works as a wallmount
The base was a spare box that i coated in resin, then sprinkled dirt over the surfaces. I then coated a layer of black spray paint, then another layer of khaki.
I then glued the 3D printed base I made from before with hot glue, sprinkled more dirt in between the seams, then sprayed some more khaki spray paint for a weathering effect on the door/walls themselves and to glue all the loose dirt together!
Hope you all like it!"

"Hi All,
GI Joe Adventure Team, Spacewalk Mystery 1:12 scale.
Recipe.
Astronaut - The astronaut comes with a space capsule but I decided to make the figure first.
The body and boots are from Damntoys the head is from Hasbro's Death Star trooper BS 6". The pants are from Coomodel, top is from a Mezco Sulu figure, gloves are from a V Hasbro Scouttrooper BS 6".
The helmet is from a Tamiya 1:12 motorbike rider and the equipment has been scratch built using plastic card, lego, model tank parts and elastic.
Capsule - was made using plastic pot plant holders, cardboard, plastic card. The interior instruments were done using greeblies from the spare parts box and the engine is parts of a UFO kit from Pegasus Models and the thrusters are plastic stool caps that go on the bottom of the legs so they don't scratch the floor.
Note - I made a mistake with the flag as it should have been put on with the bottom of the flag facing the engine/thruster section.
Base - is from a Star Wars Dewback resin kit which I picked up from Stanarts a few years ago.
Ron"
I mean I would sure vote for Ron if we ammended our constitution. How could you not like an artist like this!

"Cobb Vanth, "The Marshal." 6" black series scale.
This one took some work, and while it's not 100% screen accurate (and I may have over-done the weathering), I'm happy with how it turned out.
Legs and arms are from a Poe Dameron figure. Torso and neck is Han Solo. The scrawny thin torso and long neck worked perfectly for this figure."

I like the double wrist blades!

The wall I've used a combination of artic blue for the pelmet and the central vent. Steel for the "frame" of the wall and then using a dark blue wash with in the crevasses of the wall to pick out the highlights.
The edges of the floor I've painted using an acrylic metallic blue paint. When this is dry I will use a silver paint to pick out the edges of the wall."
Looks like he is almost done!
