Some old stuff I never show here :

Some Burna'BoyZ I realize with P-cards. more details (in french) on my blog : Orks Forge

first burnaboyz









second burnaboyz










I enjoy comments and critics here and on my blog (if you speak only english, no worries, I answer in english ;p)

Some WIP

the thunderork was really cool lucius. sorry I haven't dropped in on your thread in a while. I really liked the use of the lego bits, lol



your scratchbuilt dakkajet makes me want to punch you in the face in hopes of stealing your powers.

but seriously, its a really good start, and inspiring. I have had my orks on backburner for a long time so that I could work on my squig cult but, between wazooo, you, and some other honorable mentions I kinda wanna build something!!

now to just figure out how to make a scratchbuild dakka-jet-pirate-ship-thing that will match "da land lubba"!

great work on the burnaz too!

If you want some plan fort dakkajet, ask me

Thanks for your comment

More WIP !















First sculp try :°) :







C&C welcome

Yo everybody !

Here is my full scratchbuilt dakkajet. I build it to change stuff and play dakkajet or blitza bomba or krama bomba. All ammo is not built so be patient

C&C Welcome, look at my blog for more explanation (in french)

I love it! Fantastic detail work.

It's nice to have another kindred spirit (well, someone whose ideas and techniques I can draw on - or steal from). Check out my thread: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/463503.page - I'd love your advice/thoughts.

Very great stuff lucius keep it up.

Though... I have to say, with the custom burna you made... you should have a burna-bomba that shoots your custom made burnas out as projectiles... I'm imagining burnaz strapped onto rokkits on bottom of wings with flames shooting out...

just one gits wish.. I know its totally within your abilities!

Hello hello!

Today paint. After several attempts and several times to zero with black undercoats because "I can not do it but even if I yell like a pig I'm a fething stubborn," is the result of the main painting Dakkajet.

So I'm not a pro but I'm still proud of myself even if the model is full of little mistakes and various errors. If you have a solution to redo the black, let me know !

Here are pics :
















This is the pattern that I intend to apply to all my vehicles, not just flying. My wife made ​​me notice that the vertical fin is not "burning". In my mind that was only visible from above or below should be "fired" but maybe I'm wrong , I want your opinion.

Thank you for C&C

woah dude! you use a stencil and airbrush? Great job! looks amazing.

curious of your technique bud, looks great!

the vertical fin looks like a perfect spot for a clan marking, graffitti, personally.. loots like a little clean slate up there really! if you do somethign with it, i'll be excited to see it all finished up!

I really love it! How are you doing the cockpit? I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Thanks folks

Could you give me your question with details and easy-understanding english, I'm french, so it's quite difficult to understand why do you mean by "How are you doing the cockpit"

Skyfi : Yep I use airbrush and a self-made stencil. I follow some tuto in youtube to know how to do.

Sure, sorry (your English is well-written enough that I forget). I was curious if you were scratchbuilding the cockpit or if you were going to use bits. I was looking forward to seeing what you did.

I would try it in french, but it's been years and I don't want to hurt your eyes.

For the black, the only thing I can think of is to go back by hand and re-paint the black where your yellow over-sprayed. In the future, it might be better to do ALL the flame layers while your stencil is in one place. Then move the stencil.

I had a more complicated idea... You can cover wax or parchment paper with a layer of masking tape, then draw your flames on the tape. Cut the tape along the shape you just drew and then you've got a mask to put down on your vehicles. The wax/parchment paper will allow you to pull up the tape easily so you can use it. With that I would also mask everything on the vehicle at once to make it easier.

I was curious if you were scratchbuilding the cockpit or if you were going to use bits.

Scratchbuild like 100% of this model (except the grot hatch/scuttle). I have plan if you want, I already said it in your thread Mail me.

JWMarines :

I can't paint it because black gets red and orange too : If I paint the black will be too dark for the other black (I don't know If I explain it good :p). That's why I think about nuln oil (not on flames, juste on black). But it seems to be a bad idea.

For the Idea I can't for 3 reasons :

- The stencil is always moving for each flame (look at this tuto : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnrjYYB76TM )
- I haven't enought masterize of airbrush so I can't know where the flame gone before to peint them :p
- If you mask black, you can't mask all blacks, so some blacks are not really black (because get red and orange and yellow) and the masked-black was only black ... It's really hard for me to describe it ^^

Really nice scratch build models! The aircraft are awesome, and those burna replicas are amazingly similar to the box set.

I understand what you're saying with the blacks. The layering is complex and I'm not experienced with air brushes enough to offer any advice there. Wish I had a better idea to help.

Your advice are welcome Thinking about something is better nothing

Here is my work on back fin of dakkajet to finalize airbrush work on this model

Thanks for C&C

I made some better pics :













C&C welcome

looks great! ... about the only thing i would see changing in my mind is the forward most section of the rear fins ... maybe a bit more yellow or a touch of white along the edge.

Thanks for your comment but I think it's gonna be ok for this one

looks like it would be a blast to build ... and since i play orks .. hah! ... looks like i need to get some other projects finished up so i can get started properly on my ork army ... have about 1300 points of them waiting for paint and customizing .. plus will need truks and jets.

Amazing work Lucius, your dakkajet is superb. Sub'd

Whoa. All of this is simply stunning.

Where do you get your supply of plasticard? I live in a rural area so i purchase most things online. Still trying to get a decent place for plasticard.

Back to your work - While everything is amazing, what floored me most were the burna conversions. They look just like the GW ones. Wow. Thanks for posting this stuff. Wonderful work. Makes me think I need to step up my game

Oh dude, you are american ! In France it's really hard to find plastic card because it must be import from USA, so you can find easily if you live in USA :p. Try to order at http://www.plastruct.com/ (you order a catalog and then you order product). I dream to order plastic card from USA it's cheaper and you have more choice of product (Try to search evergreen reference too : http://www.evergreenscalemodels.com/Sheets.htm. Know that : plastic card name is STYRENE, it could be help)


Thank you for the congratulations

Here's some other places to get styrene sheets:

http://www.estreetplastics.com/Styrene_Sheets_s/23.htm
http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=22883&catid=715
http://www.dickblick.com/search/?q=styrene&x=-807&y=-127&sp_cs=UTF-8

I've only ordered from Blick so far for styrene sheets. Pretty good prices and they do very manageable sizes of sheets. I spotted them and added into another order I was doing. I've ordered dropper bottles from usplastics.com before and they are great. Haven't ordered from estreetplastics.com yet, but their prices are pretty good.

I have ONE week to build a war wagon. Here it's my work of the day :





Go go go !

looks like an interesting shape! looking forward to seeing the progress.

I like your skills, and your MANZ are simply awesome! The KillaKans are great aswell. Very impressed.
But why are you spending SO much time and effort on copying GWs burna, the dakkajet and the looted flyer? Its obvious that you have skills. If you are going to do a looted vehicle, or going for that look, then why not save time and money and buy the model, and loot it?
There are many unimpressive looted vehicles, but by the looks of it you could make it awesome.
