Here is the second (and the last for me) of the demons:

WOW! This is GREAT!
(in both senses - as a MOD and as a mini-set)

EDIT: great in THREE sesnses - in fact also as a huge figurine:)


Thanks:)

[Vermin King]

Nearing the end folks

[Punkrabbitt]

Darn it! No time to do a proper Gamera, Gargantua, Ghidorah, or Godzilla!

[Vermin King]

Dangit! I never thought of that. Godzilla would look good done up like my dinos

[Vermin King]

Are we ready to close this out? Remember, you can always submit late submissions to any Hoard. (I think I found a good side view of Godzilla to work with)

[yifferman]

at last i upload some gueishash and a portrait SFW

[Vermin King]

Thank you, sir. I'll get those added. Is it okay to reduce the portrait a bit? I had a couple other figures I'd added to my figures file, but deleted them to include the last submission from cowboyleland. I still need to do a 50mm base for the first submission of the demon. If I reduce the portrait to 75% and rotate it, I would have room for the base and on your figures line, I'll be able to put a couple of my deleted figures back in. If that is okay with you.

here is the new , and little picture

[Vermin King]

Thank you. I'll see how the layout goes. I may be able to enlarge it

Late for this hoard - but here's a small/quick preview - Gigahilla (as "Godzilla" is most probably trademarked:)

This figurine is made of separate parts (using layers) so making both B-side and full MOD-KIT would be relatively easy - so maybe someday in the future I will consider such a set with mega-monsters?

[Toman]

Working on a cross piece torii. If I finish it this weekend can I submit it or will it be to late.

[Vermin King]

I am just barely functioning right now. Major case of poison ivy. Since I am physically looking like raw meat, I decided to watch Deadpool last night

mproteau (Paper Realms) is assisting in trying to get this knocked out (thank you, sir), and I am nearing the end of building, so I can take photos. I am moving at a snail's pace. A snail whose only foot isn't cooperating. I hope that with today's shot and medications, I might be back to a crawl tomorrow. If I am fortunate, I might be done by Sunday. I always enjoy building torii's. For difficulty, '1' being easy, and '5', being crazy-detailed, how advanced a model will it be?

If it's a 'five', the earlier submitted, the more likely it will be included this month. The easier it is to build, the more time you have.

But ... for next month's hoard, I keep bouncing between 'The Shogun' and 'Leo'. Leo would be based off daVinci, but The Shogun would fit in well with the Torii. We'll work out something

[Toman]

I won't rush myself then. It can go next month if I can't get it done by tomorrow

[Vermin King]

Totally up to you, of course, but I didn't want to put too much pressure on you. When I am under pressure, I make more mistakes

[Toman]

 
Test build came out ok. I think short posts could be as tall as the tall posts but this is good I think. I'd say difficulty two just because the WWG base system is a bit harder to assemble.

[Toman]

and here we go. If you don't have time this month VK it can just go next month.

[Vermin King]

I don't see a problem with adding this. It should build very easily. And looks really good. Thank you

I made more progress this morning between naps than I've made in a week

[Toman]

Bigger is better right? On the left is printed on one page in the right is scaled for two pages. Miniature is a test of honor 28mm spearman for scale

[Toman]

here is the big one if you want to add it as well as the small one or instead of it that is fine.

[Vermin King]

To maintain the size, I had to format it a bit differently. And I put credits on the base

Yes, bigger is better. Back to the Gimp drawing board

[Vermin King]

Had to reformat those pages, too to fit, but I think it looks all right

[Toman]

Thanks. Next time I do something that big for the hoards I'll try to format it to the hoard page size.

[Vermin King]

It is helpful on larger projects. I guess I need to format the next Hoard's template...

Don't know if it's just my timing or not, but the download speeds for these two zipped Hoard files seem remarkably slow at present. Their combined size is only about 60 MB, yet it's taken me almost twenty-five minutes to download both, doing nothing else. That's almost twice as long as it took me to download and install a 600+ MB new program three days ago, and I was surfing a couple of websites while that was in progress! Maybe (if understandably!) the One Monk server's too popular right now, though

Very well done to all involved, regardless. A particularly fine Hoard group, I think.

[Vermin King]

Must have been a timing thing. I just downloaded, and just under a minute on one and just over a minute on the other. The download speed definitely slowed at the 84% mark on both
