Sweet dkok and tanks keep it up !

Well, finally back to work. I took a WIP shot for comparison purposes, so why not post it here?

(Also, I just noticed that it's friday the 13th, so I guess this one is pretty appropriate!)

And done:

Good job. Very convincing weathering.

Another beautiful addition. Really great.

Excellent weathering and freehand!!

How do those transfer sheet go?

I bought one for reasons, and I am not sure if it turns out I'll need, but hey...

Your magnificent weathering is so realistic, the thumb I used to scroll through the images on my tablet now requires a tetanus shot.

Incredible work my friend! Going to put it out there and say these are IMHO the best weathered and best looking group of vehicles i have seen! One word.... Inspirational!

EXCELLENT Weathering!!!!

OMG WTF Peregrine actually finished a model! Here's a preview of the old all-resin Vulture gunship. Better pictures will come soon when I have better light to take them.

That is fantastic. I am glad you finished a model. One of the best models you could finish too.

Bloody hell, that's awesome! Something to aspire to

That's an impressive Vulture. Really diggin' the worn and weathered look and the squad markings look great.

Loving the terrain and the tanks/vehicles man good job

BBBOOOOMMMMMMMM...... that weathering is what i am talking about! Very nicely done indeed! And a sweet looking Vulture! Love the streaks over the wings!

More terrain! This time the OOP FW tank emplacement (with a Valdor that can be found on previous pages).

Man, that is some impressive work.

So green with envy at your skills I could be mistaken for a filthy ork!!

Top work! Inspirational stuff!

Peregrine I am always impressed by your work and how you managed to get all these oop forgeworld models. Did you buy them when forgeworld produced them or do you find them on ebay? Either way great work as usual and thank you for sharing.

Mostly ebay. I have a list of things I'm looking for, and make a habit of checking ebay at least once a day in case they show up. Patience pays off eventually, I finally got one of my holy grail models (the OOP Shadowsword with the interior detail parts) after years of searching because I saw the model almost as soon as it went up and a tiny bit of the driver's chair was visible through an open hatch in one of the pictures. And it probably helps a bit that I've given up on GW's current stuff, leaving most of my gaming budget free to grab the OOP stuff when it shows up.

The sad thing is that I can't say "all from ebay" anymore, as FW keeps getting rid of older kits in favor of more 30k space marines.

Very nice catch. I have gotten a fair chunk of my collection from ebay as well.

With all your terrain kits I would love to see a full board set up by you. It must look amazing.

BTW Did you paint up some centaur transports? If you feel like sharing I would like to see your take on it.

Great stuff, I've never been a fan of painting tanks, I do mostly monster stuff, but your full army shot really makes me want to give tanks another shot. There's some feeling I get when I see rows of massive well painted guns...well other than the "my mutants aren't ever going to make it to his lines" feeling. Really cool stuff.

Great work! I'll have to check out this thread in more detail.

What? Only five months between updates this time? I'm amazed at how productive I've been! Anyway, here's an OOP FW autocannon pillbox to add to the collection of OOP terrain. Too bad GW can't make stuff like this anymore, instead of the ridiculous Citadel™ Wall™ Of™ FineSkulls™ Bastion™.

Welcome back into the fold mate!

Love the pillbox...... the details / stains / damage and rust are really impressive!

really like the ammo loader on that canon also....

I have to agree with you that these more austere & IMHO "better" looking fortifications blow the newer pieces out of the water!
The other thing they NEED to bring back is the OOP FW trench pieces..... they were glorious!

Really good looking work mate! DO we have to wait another 5 months for more? I hope not!

You'll probably hate me for saying that I have a box full of at least one of every trench piece (a lucky ebay find), waiting to be copied some day when I finally have space to build a full trench table.

There's an unexpected surprise in the weathering stage right now, so hopefully the next update should come within a week.

OOOOoooo you lucky buggar! That was a truly lucky find! I have scoured e-bay for those and only once did I manage to get my hands on one of the trench end gun emplacements!

Don't suppose I could be a real pain and ask if you could get some pic's of the individual parts could I!? Really wanted to have a go at creating something based off of those!

Looking forward to the big reveal in the pipeline!

WoooW !

Always inspiring to see such a great work.
Congratulations for the models & the pictures as well.

Peregrine I love your army, terrain, and paint job...I also burn with jealousy.
