Are there any darker color silver spray paints out there closer to boltgun? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429920/3914215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429920/3914215.page GMT
Need some advice if anyone can help. My lighting in my front room is crap and I desperately need a new light source for my painting/modelling. I have experimented with desk lights but it's just not working.

What I envisage I could really use is some kind of torch headband or hat. I have seen some torch magnifiers on amazon for quite cheap but all the reviews say the magnifier bit is ok but the light is a waste of time and that's all I need it for.

Can anyone recommend a good painting light source you can strap to your head?

Here are some pics of my scratchbuilt [b][i]Crescent blade[/i] jetfighter[/b], which was intended to serve as my Dark Eldar count as razorwing model. :)

It is inspired by the Razorwing jet artwork and follows the smooth lines and design typical for all (Dark) Eldar vehicles. Apart from some minor details, the basic model is done and I will hopefully paint it soon. ;)

The main body from the Crescent blade was cut from a thick sheet of plastic card and filed & sanded down to the pointy shape you now see. A couple of plastic spoons made the engine, the lower side was build from various leftover parts e.g. an old DE Ravager.

Here are some more pics of it, hope you like it! :)

Some more pics can be found as usual on my blog: [URL=http://invivos.blogspot.com/]http://invivos.blogspot.com/[/URL]

The body is from the IMEX chemical plant set, the wings from Robogear and the skull from an old plaster company called Mystic Moldwyrks. So basically I used bitz I've had lying around for 5-10 years.

nob with the flag: the flag is really blood red with no highlighting (or any other color). Lighting just made it look really well painted.

last stormboy (above zagstrukk): if you notice I got 6 boyz and zags as nob. The "extra" boy is made from spare body half (that you get with the box), biker legs and other spare bitz.

blurry stormboy: his rokkit is converted zags rokkit (I added wings and stuff). Extra zagstrukk bitz come failcast zagstrukk which got replaced to finecast version. So thx gw for extra bitz that allow me to screw you out of your money. :)

I am fairly new to miniwargaming, so I was hoping someone with more experience could help me. I got the tech canal set from Armorcast, and while I'm really happy with most of it, one of the pieces is interacting funny with my Games Workshop paints. I did wash it with soapy water and let it dry thoroughly before priming it, but most of the primer did not adhere. (I used spray on Chaos Black.) After I put it on, I could take off most of the primer with a dry cloth. It just did not adhere to the resin. I washed it AGAIN and let it dry and the second time the primer took only slightly better. I soldiered on and painted it the best I could and sealed it and it seemed that the paint on a lot of areas just never dried right. I finished it and put a sealer on it and it is still really sticky. Did I do something wrong, or is it a problem with the resin? I have done six other pieces so far, and this is the first one I have had issues with. I'd hate to have to strip this thing down to repaint it AGAIN, but I don't know what else to do.

For colour palettes, I'll likely do vehicles black with red and metal bitz. The infantry in grey greatcoats with a mix of pickelhaubes, gas masks, Soviet fur caps and the MicroArt non-descript officer hats.

Hey guys,

So I was thinking of knocking up a mechanised Ork army at some point in the future with the Micro Art Studio greatcoat bodies/Ork gasmasks/helmets, etc.

Since this inevitably, in mute colours, leads to what some interpret as a 'Germanic feel' I thought I might have some fun (and possibly save some money) by converting up WWII vehicles.

As it stands I need to know what to use for Trukks, Battlewagons and Looted Wagons.

For Looted Wagons I thought perhaps a Panzer IV, but it might be an issue to get the roof off to make it open-topped, so I am not sure how practical this is (I do not own a hacksaw and I don't trust myself with one :P) I thought maybe an Ostwind, as it would already be open-topped, but the cannon on it is just insufficient. I can't really think of any open-topped self propelled guns that had turrets, I know there are plenty with fixed casemates to pick from, but I think this vehicle would demand a turret. Of course, there's always the possibility of converting the vehicle up with a sufficiently 'orky' gun; hell, now I think about it, even a Panzer IV's 75mm would look puny compared to most Ork ordnance. Any ideas?

Trukks; I thought maybe half-tracks of some kind, but these just seem too small. I could always get some from a scale larger than what is actually needed but I don't know. If I were feeling really cheeky, I suppose Opel Blitzs are a genuine option. But this is where I am more clueless than anywhere else. I recall the Germans having an open-topped hauler for their artillery/ammo of some kind, was a tracked vehicle with a large capacity on the rear, but I can't for the life of me remember its name. Anyway, here is where I really want some advice; I might just buy old Gorka Morka trukks but I fear they won't blend well with the rest of the force.

Battlewagons: Again, not so sure. I think I would have to severely mutilate an oversized kit of some kind; perhaps a Maus or a Karl Gustav (if the gun can be removed convincingly?).


Anyhoo, does anyone have any ideas? I've never tried 'orkifying' anything before, but it will likely consist of lots of roughly cut plasticard slabbered all over the hull and application of lots of bitz.

And, perhaps most importantly, what scale do I want? I read somewhere that 1/35 is much too large, but for vehicles like the Trukk this might be necessary. I also believe 40k is a little bit too 'big' anyway. But I would need vehicles that wouldn't look hilarious compared to the minis (say, an Sdfkz. where the driver's seat is visibly larger than any of the Orks it apparently carries). I might want to oversize the tanks. I had heard that 40k equates to around 1:42 but I am not aware of that being a scale?

Edit: Prowling has shown me that there are models at 1:48 scale? Is that 'close'?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429623/3908583.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429623/3908583.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429619/3908499.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429619/3908499.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429618/3908447.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429618/3908447.page GMT And they had white faces, like white face paint
And I loved the Idea, now I'd like to try and make one
But I cannot for the life of me find them again
Does anyone know where they are or who made them?
It wasn't too long ago I saw them]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429606/3908301.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429606/3908301.page GMT

I would like to do find is something similar to the old British Commonwealth helmets from WW2, along with the officer peaked caps. I have found things similar to these, but they tend to almost always have gas masks for the faces. The other thing I was looking for as possibly some Wolseley helmets to use for command squads or stormtroopers as a nod to the military unit that used to be stationed out of my home town.

Examples of what I'm looking for in case anyone is not certain:

I want it to look like that...

I'm trying to think of what exactly they did there...

Something like this for just the frog (not chair etc):

Paint:
Dark Angels Green - Frog
Bleached Bone - Frog Belly
Dwarf Flesh - Frog Cheeks
Blood Red - Frog Eyes
Skull White - Frog Teeth

Wash:
Thraka Green - Frog
Ogryn Flesh - Frog Belly
Baal Red (light)- Frog Cheeks
Baal Red - Frog Eyes
Black Wash - Frog Cracks... Maybe Everywhere and Heavy on Cracks

Highlight:
Dark Angels Green - Frog
Snot Green - Frog
Goblin Green - Frog
Bleached Bone - Frog Belly
Blood Red - Frog Eyes
Red Gore - Frog Eyes
Scab Red - Frog Eyes
Skull White - Frog Teeth

Paint:
Shining Gold - Acc.

Wash:
Devlin Mud - Acc.


What do you think? About right?

this is what I'm looking to do. However I do not have a clue where to such pieces of wood.

Does any know if a decent online source?
or what type of shops might I go to?

Internet would be easier because my home town does not have any shops that would sell this i think.

cheers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429479/3906078.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429479/3906078.page GMT
NONE of them seem to stick the resin that failcast is made of together very well.....

it seems to take ages for any of them to "set"

Anyone got a glue that works well ? All my glues do work like I said they just seem to take 10x longer to adhere...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429477/3905961.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429477/3905961.page GMT
Scheme 1:

[IMG]http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/9773/scheme1.png[/IMG]

I quite like this as its a nice variant on the Kraken scheme. It would be based just with sand and a bit of flock - pretty generic.

Scheme 2:

Recently ive found myself loving the idea of a snow army. Maybe this scheme with a bit of snow on the models, with an ice/snow base.

Scheme 3:

[IMG]http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/3306/scheme3.png[/IMG]

Im not overly sure about this scheme - I think it could look good but it looks awfully planty like to me. Would be basing this with a jungle-ish theme.

So dear dakkites, would you be able to give me your opinion on these schemes? Your input would be very much appreciated! Also post up your own schemes if you want, give me some ideas :)

Thanks All!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3905737.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429468/3905737.page GMT [[Image:larry.slaanesh.princess1]]

So it looks like its going to be far easier to get an entire new airbrush than getting a replacement part :(

Any good recommendations of a cheapish airbrush under £60 in the UK?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429464/3905610.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/429464/3905610.page GMT
