Well, for such a simple approach it came out looking very good, weety.

Weety, your headlights are amazing!


...wait a minute...

Headlights are stunning - honestly thought they were LEDs! Like the new style exhausts on the back
@Valhalla

The headlights are indeed amazing. All of them.

Snrk.

And yeah, the Assault Cannon disappeared with 3rd edition sadly. It's now a 'counts as' multilaser....

the walker is cool , like the muted paintwork and as mentioned the stand out lights , congrats on reaching one hundred pages weets!

Valhalla, If you look on my ceramic art page you will see that my jugs are pretty impressive also...

I feel dirty now...

Multilasers are a consolation I suppose. Does rapid fire stuff still jam? I am about 3 editions behind the times. That was always a major disadvantage to the assault cannon as it could end up hardly getting fired or even exploding.

100 pages!! Triple figures! I guess thats what happens when you put everything you do in one thread.

Nah weety... means your good, that something you do speaks to people, and that folks feel comfortable chatting on your blog. All good.

Either that or it's a big pull for the 'headlights and jugs' crowd.

I'm not feeling witty enough to respond adequately to that!. But I will say thankyou for all the helpful and/or humorous comments. They keep me coming back for more lulz.

Let's NOT take a poll to find out on which side of the divide your gentle readers stand.

"Comfortable well adjusted chatty people to the left, headlight and jugs fans to the right, and those of you who are both please stay right there in the middle..." Erm...why isn't anyone moving?

Models banter and jugs - it's all good fun, carry on.

I've spent the past few weeks just reading through all the cool stuff on this blog, it's one of the reasons I buckled down, signed up to Dakka, and started working on my own P&M thread... which I'll post once I figure out how to take pictures that don't suck.

I love looking at all this classic stuff, and I know how much harder it is to pain those older models well. It's like a separate talent all of it's own... and I've always been impressed by your painting, and that's not just the nostalgia talking. It's definitely the first of the blogs I've subscribed to!

Can't wait for whatever is next.

Well thanks! I am glad you like my work, you must have enjoyed it to scroll through 100 pages. I hope you solve you photography problem. I recommend a daylight bulb and a paper light box - Also check if your camera has a macro mode.

This all makes me wish I could paint something, but I have to go do another day of high frequency trading(till work). I must work hard or the CEO won't be able to afford another Bentley.

The corporate objective and motto of my company :
"to pursue a policy of genuine discounting to meet profitably the needs of consumers with a lower discretionary spending power"
To boldly sell cheap stuff to poor people. Forget religion - discount shopping is the opiate of the masses. I just wish we sold modelling supplies.

I think every author of every corporate motto or mission statement in the world should be shot.

aye!

In that case, I'll put on a bulletproof vest because I've written a good score mission statements though mine weren't in such a nonsensical tone.

I'm not taking sides on this one as it looks like a hot potato. I will say that many of the upper management of my company appear to be of sub-normal intelligence though. It's a good thing we have that mission statement actually or they would probably forget what they were meant to be doing!

The minis I think are badly painted went into the stripper today. So stand by for improved paint jobs!

I've done a re-paint of this goliath. When I originally painted him I had had a problem with the primer being very grainy, which didn't help.

Before:



After

Nice re-paint!

Def very cool. Good job.

He has a great snarl. My first paintjob on him looked like he had a bad spray tan

That's definitely looking good. I kinda liked the garish orange bits on the first shotgun though. Orange is always such a pain in the arse color to get juuust right.

I have an infallible recipe for orange - first paint the area as white as can be, then a nice layer of yellow - sunburst yellow. Then once that is dry wipe watered down red wash over the top - A nice bright red wash. Citadel used to make one, maybe they still do, I hope so as mine is 17 years old now.

Nice skin colour on the redo. Much more natural.

Grainy primer eh? Wouldn't by chance be army painter primer, would it? I've had that issue before and it sucks.

No actually it was a cheapo brand of car primer! But I recently brought some army painter primer and it is a bit sensitive to temperature. Its great if it works but it sucks if it don't.

Thanks tortured robot - I'm happy that I'm getting much better at skin - vallejo flesh wash is my new fav. I used to use old GW citadel flesh wash but it does tend to give a 'spray tan' look unless you mix it with a little red wash. Its great if you are going for a middle eastern look though.

I've only had brighter primers get all fuzzy on me. Mainly white primer. The only time I screwed up black primer was when I was still learning and laid it on too thick... but with me if feels like if I look at the nozzle funny on a can of white primer it starts spitting and hissing.

He looks great, a vast improvement. Thanks for the tip on the orange too, that'll be good to know!

Congrats on 100 pages, btw

Nice make-over for Dale Winton there

Much better without the grainy primer too - although the orange shotty was nice. Definite improvement though.

definatly one hell of an improvement! the primer accident now is totally compensated for... the new paintjob shows the way your recent year has brought you forth! very amazing development!
