Gelida

I want to say, a couple years ago, I caught icee wind of a inq28 project taking place on an arctic death world called Gelida. The dwindling inhabitants of this world when not huddled around the flickering flame of fledgling humanity, send their most capable into a blank existential nothingness facilitated by the shambling amalgamations of their technologies.

Seeing all the amazing walkers and desolate character vehicles emerging from this collection of hobbyists had my grimdark FOMO fucking triggered. Knowing work owned the surrounding event dates and times, I decided to create a sort of NPC type piece I could possibly send to an organizer, ( @magos_buer, on Instagram, the creator of this world and organizer of the Utah event and @darktech, walking rust bucket make-machine and organizer of the Chicago event. Both Inq28 powerhouses to say the least.)

The original idea was an Arctic scavenger type situation. Mabey a mobile demo type savant, charged with the looting or all together theft of stranded or misplaced technologies. I’ll stop ranting and put up a few progress photos before I try and explain the finished project.

Here are some shapes blocked in. Oh! And a sanding stick upits ass to simulate the impending plasticard.

Think this shits mid-paint, before snow effects. Don’t get me started on snow basing. It’s horseshit and snow is just fucking unrealistic and should never be attempted by the rational human being.

So the blog version of attention deficit disorder continues, I highly recommend Precision Ice and snow on TV e snow effects. It’s amazing and extremely versatile considering you can stick it on with just about anything, check em out, I’ll link it when I’m not typing this at the at in a Mexican restaurant. So here are the finished cell phone pictures from Instagram. Still haven’t properly wrapped my head around photographing minis on a white background so I can’t mail this headache off yet, but it’s on the agenda.

Thank you for looking at this thrown together post and thank you to All the Gelida family!!
