Hi.

Here same new starts:












And also some painting sessions....

Stunning bases - can't wait for the next pictures! I'm especially looking forward how the rogue on the roof turns out.

Cheers,


IK-Painter

They look pretty, but I have absolutely no idea what these are...

The first is "Shanys l Ombre" from Rackham.

The second is "Capitan Kelian Durak" from Rackham.

The last one is "Tiriel" by Hasselfree in 40mm.

Some news from my cave...

Some wips form the "base" side...

It's summer time....

Nice work - the attention to detail with the scenery is awesome.

I love the blue wash on the girl's armor. Really makes it stand out.

Not to belittle them, of course, but I can't seem to care about the figures - I'm too impressed by the bases!

One step forward on the Captain side...

stunning

Finally the first mini is finished.....

Tiriel

Awesome work - don't suppose you could do a step by step on some of the work you put into the bases? The leaves on the tree and the vines especially.

Really nice anyway

Ahh... Seeing Shanys just warms my heart

don't suppose you could do a step by step on some of the work you put into the bases? The leaves on the tree and the vines especially.

As soon as i can

Awesome, thanks

Really impressive bases, I almost enjoy making terrain and bases more than painting em. Inspirational work, great job

Hi.

Another mini is finished.... I hope you like it.

HI.

This is my return to the tank world...

The model is coming from Forge World ( http://www.forgeworld.co.uk ) producer of resin model (high detailed) for the world of miniature game "Warhammer 40k".

I cant wait to see what you do with this! Is it a basilisk?

Is it a basilisk?

No, is a Chimera with a Medusa siege cannon.

Sweet!, Cant wait for progress

Incredible work! Truly imaginative and beautiful pieces.

Love the waterfall on the knight's base.

Also really looking forward to seeing what you do with the tank - love your mini dioramas.

Another starting project..."DDK at war"...

Sweet!
You love your DKOK don't you?

Some update about posing the Medusa...

This night i want update the "dkk at war" side.

I've adding the terrain (very similar to the Medusa base) and priming (with per-shading) with Vallejo Grey and Black Primer...using the airbrush (I've notice that the best pressure for those products is ...3 bar)

Looking epic. I am at an envy.

Just starting to paint the Medusa interior...first the floor underneath...

Looking great Max!
Are you modelling after the IA masterclass book?

Are you modelling after the IA masterclass book?

YES. That's a GREAT BOOK !!!!

Tonight i can do more than the other days.....

Here an example of "hairspray" technique using the special product coming form A.K Interactive:

Before just paint (using an airbrush) the undercoat layer (VMC Dark Rust)



after it is dry apply 2 or 3 coat of "Worn Effects" (this product is born especially for this kind of technique) with the airbrush..



When it's dry apply the final color...When the last color is dry using a brush, toothpick or a toothbrush and water you can apply your scratches...



After the above procedure I've all sealed with Vallejo Satin Varnish and apply a different layer of oil color (MIG Dark Rust and Wash Brown).





I've also done the inside part of the rear door....

Some update about the "dkk at war" diorama.....

sandbag and barbed wire

looking great thus far. The rust effect came out well.

Hi.

Here some "at midnight" updates.....

Medusa interior...(nearly finished..)

Great work

Beautiful work, especially on those bases.

Hi to everyone.

I've started with the base color (fist color of camouflage) ad some "color modulation".....for the Medusa.

The only thing that strikes me as off are the way the track guards are damaged so evenly
But other than that it's great!

Some shots from the Medusa "camouflage" paint process...

Great work. Love the weathering on the interior of the medusa.

I love the color scheme your using!

I've started the first stage of weathering of the Medusa.





I hope you like it....

I really like the colors scheme and cant wait to see where you go with this!

Its because of beautiful work like this that is quickly forcing me to look into getting a air brush.... Stunning work.

Another weathering stage.....OILS

wow, its really looking good with the oils!

Hi.

Here some details about the powerline pole:

It looks really tall!

Wow, very nice - may have to get me some worn effects

Excellent painting on everything. I don't suppose you would mind writing something for the "painting with oils" article?

I think that he just followed IA masterclass

Capitansolstice wrote:I think that he just followed IA masterclass

Yes but not only....my source are:

Mig Productions : "Modulation Style. F.A.Q. DVD Vol. 2" - there is a little guide to oils.

AK Interactive: "AK 038-book FAQ vol 2"

Here a little glimpse of the Medusa terrain :

Nice!

Hi.

The Medusa interior with the cannon mounted..





and the final assembly......






The next stage will be PIGMENTS !

Wow, that is very impressive!
~solstice

This is the result after PIGMENTS stage.... especially on the tracks and the lower parts of both side.

Also I've added some detail to the Medusa....

... wow

One step ahead to the finish lane...

Wow, Simply wow... Had to run to Google Translate for this but: Che e sorprendente (That is amazing (I hope))

Thanks.

Hi.

After some times I've stated the heavy mortar paint...

Another stage done.

Chipping and add some metallic look to the wheels (the shiny overall look is caused by the gloss varnish...waiting for oils stage...)

sweet, which dio is this one going in?

Capitansolstice wrote:sweet, which dio is this one going in?

This one :

Oh! Sweet, cant believed I missed it!

I love your painting style. Very gritty and suiting to 40k

And Imperial

Hi Webmax!

I didn't realise you were here on Dakka too!

This is truly fantastic work. Keep the updates coming!

One step ahead...

I started painting the Heavy Mortar Crew...

Like the neony green!

Here a little preview about the DKK at war diorama...

Hi.

Starting painting the terrain....with some try about the color of sandbags.

What do you want to do with the sandbags?

Capitansolstice wrote:What do you want to do with the sandbags?

see if the actual color with some highlight fit the rest of the terrain....

Oh... I think it does

Adding more detail to the ground work...

That looks great. Very slick mud effect you've created with minimal use of water effects. Very good.

Just some shots before the final stage...

It looks really good... but you make me wonder what the final stage will be

Capitansolstice wrote:It looks really good... but you make me wonder what the final stage will be

I need to review the wet mud adding maybe more wet mixture...

Wow... these bases are very good.

FINISHED (finally) !

Here the final shots for both my last project...

Armageddon Pattern Medusa

also you can find it at

http://www.coolminiornot.com/306489 and http://www.coolminiornot.com/306490













and

Dkk Heavy Mortar

http://www.coolminiornot.com/306491









Every comments are welcome.

So epic! They look really real!

That is just ludicrous! They really are superb! The DKK look a little bright in some of the photos, but I am guessing that is simply the lighting.

Che Bella

Something coming from the North.....

Now something coming from the Dark Side......

The base:







The Lord:

After a long time some updates about the base and a overall view:

A touch of color....

And now....the Power in your hand...and something "terrific"

Start re-assembling...

Few steps before finish:

The future is clear :

Just dis-assembled and ready to be re-primend.



The German mark on the front will be cover with the new primer and replaced with some coming from the Kagero Publishing Topcolor book set:

After the priming I've started the first base coat.

My plan is to follow the classic colors of the Germans vehicles during the Second World War, so the base color is "Dunkelgelb (RAL 7028)" from the Vallejo Air Color range "Dark Yellow 71.025".




The vehicle will have a three-tone camouflage, so the next will be "Olivgrun (RAL 6003)" from the Vallejo Air Color range "Medium Green 71.092" and "Rotbraun (RAL 8017)" from the Vallejo Air Color range "Tank Brown 71.041" patches over the Dark Yellow base.

But the next step will be "Color Modulation" on the base color.....

Weapons ready !!!

To "Worn Effects"....

Very unlucky night....

My "worn effect" procedure do not goes in the right way (maybe some errors on dry time....on the last coat) so ... my flame-weapons are under discoloration process.
I hope, in a couple of days, to paint the them again.

Just found this thread. Glad I did. You have some inspiring stuff hidden in here.

Mission accomplished

THX

Just a little color modulation using AK Interactive "German Dunkelgelb Modulation Set":

Camouflage done.
Then I'll put the marking .... and it will be "Washing Time" !

Decal applied

General and pin washes done.

It's chipping time !!!

Working on the flamers

"Streaking Grimes Night" results....

Working on the metals...

Chipping and dirty on the framer's tanks

Webmax, may I say.

I hope to one day be able to weather vehicles half as well as you do. Seeing your work has honestly pushed me to work on learning new weathering techniques for my imperial guard army. I'm NOWHERE near as good at it as you are, though I'm working on improving, slowly but surely.

Please keep updating, I cannot wait to see this project finished sir.

Take it easy for now.
