Great set of turnips. With regards to the tufts on the flags, perhaps give them a severve haircut and make it look more mossy, bit of pva and some flock?
I'd like to make some more videos when I'm able to in a month or so and banners is top of the list but until then here's a summary: Assembly: I cut a piece of 0.5-1 mm plasticcard to the right shape and glue superglue it to a 1-1.2mm diameter piece of brass rod (or a hollow tube so you can pin something to the top). Heat and bend it with a heat gun or lighter to get the waves. Sharpen the edge of the plastic to butterknife sharp to hide the thickness of the plastic. Sculpt the ruffles of the sleeve around the rod in milliput, greenstuff etc (you can smooth Milliput by brushing concentrated alcohol over it). Drill a hole through the models hand and glue the flag in place trying to get multiple contact points. Painting: Base coat the 'fabric' it with some simple highlights. Print a picture the same size as you want the painting to be and use a straight piece of metal or plastic to give it a very thin coat to the back side of the paper. Press the paper in place on the face of the flag and trace the key lines with a soft pencil so they transfer paint onto the flag like carbon paper. Colour the picture in with acrylic paints using the original picture as reference (in the case of the Mona Lisa that probably took about 3 hours) Glaze the underside of the flag folds with a dark shadow tone (I use black-brown).
You can do them in paper as well, there's a great video if you search Wargmes, Soldiers and Strategy; Carrying the Banner. It's a little finicky in that video but if you pick a design without a border you can cut it oversize, be a bit rougher with the folding, cut it to shape after it's in place and paint the edges afterwards.
@Dirtydoghobbies thanks I'm actually going to make a turnip army base on my country and for some reason we have banner and flags with ton of intricate detail so this help a lot I was planning making it out of paper if you didn't respond thanks really
I don't remeber the name of the song but it was some awful genericly happy music, I just slowed it down, to about 60% speed from memory, and turned off pitch corection
G'day from across the ditch! Your army is looking great, have you looked into Sludge? I've just started building my second army and would be quite keen to use it for both Sludge and Turnip28!
Superb army fella! I love the creativity that T28 encourages! As a newb to Turnip, I found this showcase to be very informative and enjoyable to watch, thank you!
Sorry it isn't very clear. The little piece is what's left over, the mostly complete sprue I wave in front of the camera is a copy of what went into the mix.
Damn, thats such a great collection with amazing ideas and paintjobs and freehands. But I really need to stop looking at T28 content. I'll never come up with something myself. I always want to steal. The most difficult part is names for units or characters. Its so british and Max' material has such a weird vocabulary and flavor thats very hard to understand and adapt to as a German.
Thank you for the compliments. If you are ever interested in collecting an army I don't think you need to worry about coming up with brand new ideas, my first figures were pretty generic for Turnip figures and I started adding ideas to it over time. A lot of originality comes from finding new sources to steal ideas from rather than creating a new idea from nothing, a big source for my freehand pictures was American Traditional flash tattoos. I can see how most of the unit names would be untranslatable but there is a pretty open Facebook group for Turnip that I'm sure would help you out if you don't understand something.
I think I'll do a video on some of the conversions for the infantry soon. I'd like to do a big monster build at some point but I think I'd need to upgrade my computer first to handle the footage
The spikes are mostly 1mm styrene rod just sharpened with a knife but I also use spare spear shafts etc. Most of the helmets are done in Greenstuff, that might be a good next video for me to do
Aww, I knew the hobby horse idea was too good to not be used by someone already. Now I have to come up with something different. Amazing models, the Mona Lisa banner is the greatest piece of art Cist has ever seen. The Grand Bombard is worth being blown up into million root pieces for.
Thank you for the compliments. As for the hobby horse, I think I nicked the idea from a Eureka figure something like that so don't worry about re-using it :-)
I'm inspired to finish my uploads and publish them. Kitbash, conversion, sculpt. Is the best thing about all this faffin' about with glue and plastic! XD
The music is a Filmora track BBQ Blues, just some generic happy music but I slowed it to 60% and turned off the pitch correction, I wanted it to sound unsettling but still a bit gimmicky.
This was really inspiring your designs are incredible. I would love to see you do a battle with another turnip 28 army of equal size I think you’d be the first large scale turnip 28 battle on RU-vid.
Amazing! look forward to all your future T28 creations and videos. Reminds me I've got a shoe box of unfinished turnip troupe of my own 😬 Thanks .. 🐌🐌🥕🍄🐸🐴🪱🍄🥕🐌🐌
