Hey everyone!

Im sure a few of you guys have seen my Death company Rhino


and a few wondered how i did it and so i figured i could post on how i went on doing the "X" across the body, but now on a stormraven!

Enjoy!

Here are the materials needed

Masking tape

X-acto knife

large Flat brush

Small dry brush

Mechirite Red

Red Gore

Blood red

Stormraven

I used Armorcast muzzle flashes on my storm raven (I'm not to good at painting but they let me make things look cool). Nice rhino.

Looking forward to this!

okay i finaalllyyy had time to work on it some, i apologize to those who have been wondering about this
I will start putting some more pics up but it is still unfinished (i need more free time )

when you have you supplies with you take some masking tape the width of the storm raven
cut in it half (long ways) from here you will apply it to the storm raven in a "/" fashion across the SR ( and make sure to leave the straightest side facing outward to have nice straight lines in the end)

And repeat for the other side "\"

I then layered the paints (all explain in the picture descriptions)

Nice work so far, i'm liking that it works really nicely. I shall be following this

Thanks a lot! hopefully should have more of interior done next week (ill keep you guys posted

Looking forward to more!

Heres a little more

Finally got around to finishing this! ill keep posting the process for you guys

Let me know what you guys think, i always like hearing tips, and if you guys have a version of your own post a pic!

Looks awesome! I wasn't going to get another one but they do look the business in DC colours!

That looks really good. I am going to have to keep this in mind. I did mine totally ass backwards.

Thanks a lot guys , cgage00 post a pic of yours i would definitely like to see it. Emperors_Champion im pretty sure your version of a DC Storm raven take the cake.

The red X on the ship looks great. Nice idea using the tape, I had no idea that was how it was done. Thanks.

well done on the storm raven

thanks guys, im really glad this explained it for you 40k Ninja

OH SNap whats this! An UPDATE!!



So i got time to actually finish a 5- Man DC squad!

There's no particular order but i thought id throw in side pics as well

Let me know what you think, any tips would be great!

I realize I'm in need of a light box lol

Good looking squad mate! How about a picture of these boys charging out the front of their stormraven?

Awesome. It must of been really hard to get such a clean line with the masking tape as its not an entirely flat surface. Im very impressed I will have to try using masking tape on somethign at some point. But i dont have a vehicle that needs painting atm

i was talking to a friend about that and they said sticky tac is a good way to fill in the places that are not flat, havent tried it but it sounds like it would work.
