thanks, guys...
this was a challenging piece to build and paint, but well worth it in the end...
definitely my favorite piece...

i got the Stormraven's base finished...
my biggest base yet, and hopefully not too bare...
i had fun experimenting a bit here...
i've never painted so much bronze...
i'm enjoying my new verdigris color, a 2-1 mix of P3 Meridius Blue and Iosan Green...





thanks for looking...
i hope you like it...

Your Tycho looks amazing, it's definitely one of the best conversions and paint jobs I've ever seen of such an iconic character. I would love to know how you painted the black armor on him.

thanks, ephrael...
here is the painting article from my blog...
this is from before i started doing WIP pics, but the recipies are all there...

http://jahminis.blogspot.mx/2013/12/hello-everyone.html

the Stormraven is done!!!
my biggest miniature yet, and a lot of fun to paint...

since this is a rush job, i had to reach a happy medium between speed and a cool paintjob...
i feel like the rust in the crevices, and the chipped metal edges work as a great cheat to save the time of shading and edge highlighting...
the rust is done with washes, and the edges with a sponge, making for a fast technique to get a visually interesting model...

in the same vein, instead of working out a realistic shade and highlight for the cockpit canopies, i just put down a solid color, and then painted in detailed reflections of the 'Nid invasion...
hopefully, this draws the eye away from the fact that there is no shading and highlighting...
it was a really fun little experiment...
while it could be refined a lot for a competition piece, i think it works for a tabletop piece...




thanks for looking...
i hope you like it...

cheers

Good work on all the vehicles, Jah.

That idea for the canopy is brilliant.

Hey Jah, great stuff mate!

That StormRaven is great for a 'tabletop' peice, your method for that is similar to my own as far as block colours shading the recesses and then weathering/highlighting and the canopy looks great, I LOVE unusual ideas like that especially when they work so well and are a real point of difference to a model. Have you considered trying something I attempted a while ago on a Valkyrie by printing computer screen/targeting images on clear acetate and cutting them out and gluing them into the canopy so it was still translucent but had the targeting images showing which also changed the colour of the canopy. could be something you can work with especially with your skill set?

Loving the throwback images too it's great to see where you've come from with your learning curve, and sometimes it takes one image to fire someone's imagination! the Tycho model you did is totally getting stolen and used in my own force I like the way the armour is black but not black so the chips in black are seen, do you highlight any edges with your technique or just get a solid colour/shading and then chip it?

Keep up the amazing work mate, you're one of my favorite artists!

I want to paint like that soooo bad! That Tyranid Reflection is just pure Genius. I'm a 'Nid player, and I feel that really does look like what a swarm looks like through a glass pane.

thanks, everybody...
it is nice to do something a bit original, since it often feels like everything we do as mini painters is derivative, or influenced by someone else's ideas, since before we even get our hands on a mini, it has already been painted by someone in a studio...
this is even more pronounced with Space Marine Chapters, since we are working in the constraints of predetermined schemes...
with my Mephiston and Tycho conversions, Calgar Grey Knight conversions, Heralds of Light Captain, my Salamanders Captain's flames, and now these canopies, i feel like i have been able to do something we don't see every day, which is a good feeling...

@Zambro: close-ups are coming tomorrow, after i take a round of proper photos tonight...

@Paradigm: i would actually enjoy a chance to paint a detailed cockpit interior, and do the glowing insturment effect, but on this job i have not been given the time to paint interiors...

@nerdfest09: I don't have time to try printing out things, and working with the interior:(...
on Tycho, there is a bit of edge highlighting, but i tried to go with the French zenithal highlighting style, much more than the GW edge highlighting style...
it was all about building up the greys, so that the chips would show...

it's Throwback Thursday again...
this week i have my Golden Bolter Silver medal, and People's Choice award, winner...
this is the Games Day 2008 Space Marine Captain, painted as a Salamanders Chapter Marine...
i wanted to try my hand at realistic flames ever since i saw them painted on a car on Overhaulin'...
when the Bolter and Chainsword painting contest came up in 2010, i knew i had found my chance to give it a whirl...

given the chance to try this scheme again, i would like to refine the flames a little more, but i was pretty happy with the result the first time around...






thanks for looking, and taking the time to comment...
i always appreciate it...

cheers

i always appreciate the kind words about my painting and conversions....

here are the extra angles, and the close-up of the pilot's canopy...
in order for the 'Nids not to be too harsh a color against the orange, i used a mix of 3-1 P3 Greatcoat Grey and Thamar Black...

hey Dakka...

here is the second Stalker...
i have simplified the scheme a bit in comparison to the first one...
it looks better, and has sped up the process...

now i am on to a Whirlwind, and a second Stormraven...
i'll do a step-by-step for the Stormraven, since i spaced on photographing the crucial rust stage of the Stalker, making my pics pointless:(...

i hear ya, hungryp...
i'd rather do a step-by-step without missing any steps, though...

it's Throwback Thursday again...
this time around it we are taking it back to 2009, with my Heralds of Light Captain...
an obscure Chapter, i believe this is the first ever painted example of these guys...
when i was commissioned to paint this guy, the client asked me to paint the star Chapter Badge on the kneepad, and a flaming tower Company Badge on the shoulder and shield...
a year after doing this paintjob, i was pleasantly surprised to see that this designed was used for a painting article in the Bolter & Chainsword e-zine...
this was my first time designing something that ended up in the 40K canon...
it's a great feeling...

Wow, he looks gorgeous. The blue looks really cool over the white and the gold looks so different from how mine usually ends up. The heavy contrast between blue and black really works too! Sexy, really sexy!

How did you create the tower symbols, plasticard?
