@Miss Dee: I'll add it to my list - I might get around to it this lifetime...

@moonshine, Santobell: Thanks! And its not even (half) finished yet...

I'll have to see if I can get another pic up today - all the red is now at stage 6, so now I can start the chipping - including getting back to the Stormboyz Nobz.

Won't bother with the Trukk (pic wise) for now - not enough progress to make it worthwhile yet...

On the weekend, Da Dark Angelz teamed up with (well, were on the same side of the battle as...) Imperial Guard to take on Blood Angels and Salamanders. Only 2 turns, a handful of pics, but some interesting outcomes. I may do a mini batrep for prosperity though... (and to help remember some taktikal notes!) - Still have two more batreps from Oz to do - probably over Christmas/New Year.

Step 1 is the base coat of Mechrite Red - I don't think that counts That just leaves 4 highlights and one shade. But if you look at that red, I think you'll agree its worth it! (Looks better on the guns, and the Power Klaws of the Stormboyz Nobz, than the wheels)

It looks awesome all over. And my reds are usually

highlight with Mechrite
Highlight with mechrite/off brand Ivory mix

where am I? *looks around* Well i'm...errr...I...I...don't know!

Its on the verge of being over highlighted, but its a thin line that blurs depending on the colour, you are still on the correct side of the line though. It looks great in person as well, although the red wasn't done then

I know what you mean. I would say that, before the blue wash, it did look overdone, or at least more orange than red. Of course, the chipping to come should bring it back further from that line. Additional weathering (dirt, powders) should break up the wheels further. At least, that is the plan!

More pics!


Addition of exhausts and roll bars. Left exhaust requires more detail (custom built).... There is still a small detail to be added to the roll bars...


Better view of the roll bars from the rear.


I've applied step 7 everywhere. Tried out using some foam for the wheelz, but decided it was a bit too imprecise for da boyz. These are the only two wheelz I've manged to complete step 8 on - which takes a lot longer (trying to fill the light orange chip areas with brown...)

I better make a start on *my* one next year so that it can be one of the coollest things (40k wise) you've seen in real life!

@Yggdrasil, Gitsplitta: I still need to paint the middle of the brown areas boltgun metal or chainmail to complete the chip effect.

Wow, now I'll definitely have to give that red a try! After seeing yours I decided to get me a truck as well; I won't be using it as a truck but I figure it would make a mighty fine buggy + konvertin' parts

Just wondering, Arakasi, where is it you buy your plastic tubing your using on your models. May have to make a purchase for something I have in the pipe line.

@moonshine: Thanks! Don't think I'm at Golden Daemon level yet - even if the wheels were, I need to ramp up everything else to the same level! I'm still learning and practising...

@slice'n'dice, Rose_Mountainz, Artsoldier35: Thanks!

@CommissarKhaine: Glad to inspire as always!

@ceorron: Right. Two places I know I have used before: http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk and http://www.antenocitisworkshop.com. I also have in my bag of tricks http://www.model-dockyard.com and http://www.dccsupplies.com - but I don't think I've actually used either of those...

@whalemusic360: Thanks and thanks. I forgot to look for some whilst I was in Oz Maybe I can coax da Boss into letting me look around Edinburgh this week - weather permitting

@monkeytroll: Thanks as always.

Last progress pic update for this year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!

So, given the number of comments generated by the wheelz, today I am going to lead with the remaining four:


This is taking a painstakingly long time to apply. It should go faster for da Boyz and Stormboyz Nobz as they have far less to do!

And a final pic of da Trukk for this year:


Main visible addition is the spot light on the roll bar. I have also started the interior of the cab - but its just plain 'ol Trukk parts for now - steering column, gear stick and the body of the driver. Once I have the driver complete, things should get interesting again - as basically I just need to make sure there is room for him! Having him turning the steering mechanism should be fun though (last time was a joy... not)

Enjoy!

Looking good, Arakasi. Have a great holiday.

The 'nid carcass sounds hilarious, Art. It also lead me to picture a grot standing on the wheel cover fiddling with the engine.. or the bug carcass.
