Topic: Chumley Warner's Empire. 3D printing

[GamesPoet]

Well then keep going, you painting machine! 

[mr chumley warner]

I was just thinking, I do already white line my models , as a quick highlight stage,

but technically any cloth , not armour, cloth, could be treated like SENMM, highlighting up to white and down to black...

The conclusion is that if you want to really paint properly you need to take some real time lol

[GamesPoet]

Are we seeing a change in perspective? No more speed painting from Chumley?

[Shadespyre]

I like horn guy

Got a bunch of those old Empire icons, how many do you need, are you fussy what designs?

[Warlord]

Second rank onwards need proper thinking about what is reflected off their armour and shields.

[mr chumley warner]

Standard B

[Xathrodox86]

Looks great! That shining effect is really impressive.

[Zak]

cooool

[Illumini]

It gives a weirdly cool effect. I think the unit is going to look incredible all finished up. The shields don´t really work IMO, looks more like paintings than reflections. Colored shields might even make the armor look more amazing.

[Gankom]

The knight with the longer blonde beard looks just fantastic. I love those sculpts, always have. I'd love to see some of them with tartan to mix it up.

[Artobans Ghost]

A tartan will blow them out of their geyser filled waters! Really nice Chumley

[Naitsabes]

to me it looks like a picture of a regularly painted miniature dragged through one of this phone app artsy graphics filter. are you tricking us all, Mr. Chumley? 

it's certainly flashy. now, if you are really brave you could add blood splatter on that shiny armor and risk messing it up completely

Punters merry Xmas , I've been drinking for a week solid , and now building a diy cocktail arcade table name system from scratch , will post pics if u like

[Xathrodox86]

Same to you, Chumley. I'd love to see that table. I'm sure it'll be magnificent!

[mr chumley warner]

Hi All,

So , again apologies for my time out, i'm building the ultimate embedded PC , arcade machine, based on the midway cabinet style, using jamma convention and authentic controls.

Phase one is done, phase 2 will add 2 more controllers to the long side , to enable a seperate parallel horizontal oriented games expperience.

[mr chumley warner]

[mr chumley warner]

[mr chumley warner]

The machine right now, has a player at both ends for about 70 games supporting cocktail mode, where the screen switches ends when you die , so that player 2 comes in etc, and 330 ish games for vertical oriented 1 player action ,

basicallly shoot em ups and things like pac man ,

Boots into OS in 20 seconds, straight into game menu ,

real smooth,

[Xathrodox86]

Looks really great! Will it go into the man cave?

[Zak]

lol nice 

[Noble Korhedron]

So what will that table work like; a stand-up arcade machine? Or a horizontal one, more like an air-hockey table....?

[mr chumley warner]

Currently it runs 412 games in Vertical mode,

[VonOttenheim]

Table looks freakin Amazing.    I am very jealous.
What is your daytime job and are they hiring..?   
I would never find the time to make something like that.
Good job.

[mr chumley warner]
