Thanks Bama! I've got to finish those tankbustas I started before this kit sidetracked me What next? I dunno- Still no LEDs for the SeaView, so I dunno.
I'll Wait to base the Dakkajet until The other two kits are done and ready for basing- much easier to do them all at the same time.
boo on the lack of leds. yea you should prolly do some tank bustas as i should prolly do some marines that have been staring me down for the better part of 3 months
I for one do not think that Ork stuff needs highlights. That would imply there being a clean spot on the vehicle that is shiney enough to cast a glare.
Ork skin can get highlights, I mean even if they are dirty, they sweat right? Sheen = glare = highllight.
As for the Bomma, I haven't commented yet because words escape me. It looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! you could go futher, and add some discoloration to the guns and ehaust pipes, maybe some oil leaks here and there streaking back across the wings or fusilage, but you will still blow the minds of anyone who sees it. I say keep it as is.
Oh, and if I buy one of these, will you paint it for me?
Thanks Jake! Sure I'll paint one! - My next two will utilize the airbrush more, save me some time with the brushwork. I wanted to use the color sequence from this month's WD to see how well it would turn out It already has highlights..If you look closely, you will see orangish-red around the panel lines- without those, it would not pop, so SOME highlights are necessary, but perhaps more would be too distracting?
hmm...I've never painted chaos stuff before.

Ok, well here are the final (for now) shots
Automatically Appended Next Post: I know the engine is too clean..I just can't do it, I want to look at it like this for now
you do realize that your painting skills have gone places? you are far further away from your once ago painting style when you painted your catachan force... really...i don´t try to sweeten here anything...
so have you got any clever plans for the base?
and what´s with the artistic picture taking? i swear you are going all professional now on us...the nerve...
Haha- Thanks Vik! It's all about reading, and practicing, but I really appreciate it my friend!
I don't know about the base yet Vik, It's better to base all three planes at the same time..later
When I started this blog (still less than a year ago) I couldn't take pictures for gak remember? -I am using the same Canon Powershot camera, but I suppose I have finally learned how to use it! but, The OTT daylight lamp I got is really the winner.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Thanks Rogue! I really appreciate your loyal readership sir!
well... for me the whole thread serves as a short cut for reading... you read all these expensive books... i read your musings and what not^^ and i feast upon it^^so one day i can do this eventually too^^
yeah... daylight... argh... one of these days^^
as for the base... may i throw an idea in the ring...? try some cotton wool stiffened with PVA to make nice fluffy clouds... and have them bommas soar above the clouds... free orks... ^^
Your really beginning to let the side down you know
btw, unless you have hi res HD video capture/image capture, blue screen isn't going to work... but as a side note, it's green screen you want. blue leaves just as much fuzzy edge as white. hence why everything cgi is filmed on green
lols i'd have thought it was common knowledge for everyone... but I stopped assuming that for a lot of things a long time ago lol... as what I thought was common/general knowledge doesnt seem to be anymore...
is it me or is this planet getting stupider? (not aimed at you shas, tis a side thought lols)
well being that two girls (100% true story) in my highschool class are dumber than my 6-8 yr old nephew and niece, one asked where north and south america was.... and the other asked (sincerly) what country speaks gibberish!
Shas has made breakneck speed on his bomma kit - His eyes are probably crossed right now...Gibberish is the officially recognized language of this thread
Thanks Vit! Me belly is full of brisket, pulled pork, and cheese curds...It was too damn hot out there, it's almost time for a nap in the a/c before mek-time
You have done an amazing job on that plane. The red looks really good. Did you use the new GW paints on this? I'm so tempted to pick up some of the Ork flyers for my Fiancee's ork army.. but since shes got loads to paint I'll just have to spend that money on stuff for me
THanks Regnak! -Except for the basecoat (Badger Crimson is the exact same as Mephiston Red) I pretty much used all new GW paints AND used the painting technique in this month's White Dwarf.

Not unless you happen to be selling Orky bits on eBay and own an online bits store based in the UK Sorry for the confusion, I was hinting at my next project. Whatever could it be?
dsteingass wrote:

I did likewise with the metal patches on the wings and stabilizers
This is the Burna-Bommer- SO I thought I'd give it a bit of a Harrier look.
Great work, Dave! I admire your commitment to realism when it comes to your small, plastic, aliens from the distant future In all seriousness, I think it's the little things like "dem new teef and metl' plates" that make a model awesome. Keep it up!
I'm not completely sold on the harrier look yet, but I look forward to seeing what you do with it!
it can still scream lols... the only reason I suggested the Lightning was because the only problem I have with the Ork bommer kit is the lack of interchangable noses, I always liked the recessed snub nosed version
and I refuse to start an ork army just to do it lols
But it needs to be open, unless you are going to sculpt new intakes for the big jet engine.
Rounded, likr to a point? Well I guess I'd bend interlocking layers of thin PC to start with, for orky justs, just add rivets and it's believeable, for something needing to be smoother, you'd almost need to vacu-form over a master carving or something.
well couldnt you do like vik and use the nose cone from a bottle rocket. not saying actual bottle rockets will work but the bigger rockets with the plastic nose cones just to shape maybe?
it has twin intakes for one engine, which don't look that dissimilar from the bommer tbh. and its wing intakes are proportionally the same as the Hawk it seems.
but thats just me lols, I guess everyone sees this kind of thing differently
ahh..Those twin intakes are for the thrusters on the bomma...extra engines
Automatically Appended Next Post: ..You could always cut out the big main engine part pretty easily too. Nice riveted line and hard edge to guide your knife even!
haha.. maybe... I have slightly been tempted with grot army... I just don't like orks... so If I got a bomma kit it'd have a gak-ton of grots working it
So true Dave, but it does lead me to collect more of that Army of models,,,right now my 'crons are looking at how expensive it is for their reinforcements. I mean 3 wraith models of tomb blades for just about 50bucks is crazy!
Nice, and yeah, but for me the new codex allows me to think of a Necron high lord speaking like John Malcovich in that oddly laid back, yet menacing tone,.
dsteingass wrote:HAHA I love John Malkovich! - Have you ever seen the movie "Being John Malkovich" ?
Not that one, but his other roles where he is the bad guy is what I thought of when they described the way the Lords think and behave towards their fellow 'crons let alone "lesser races"
Not seen Red yet.. I keep meaning to just for Helen Mirren...
that plates look awesome Dave... what exactly are they covering up?
Automatically Appended Next Post: oh, and random question... is there anything stopping the wings being put on on reverse? so instead of them sweeping back, they sweep forward. I know the ailerons would need switching too... but it was a random idea i got in my head lols
Yep, the bomb holes...There is a triangular alignment slot you would need to trim off, and yes one side has the flaps molded in, but otherwise, no the wings are reversible
Automatically Appended Next Post: ..Now to figure out landing gear
Automatically Appended Next Post: pilot loving the glorious noise his machine makes!
I think I may do a reverse-winged Grumman so the wings sloped forwards rather than backwards...
Automatically Appended Next Post: I don't know if anyones said this dave... but your first ork-fighta shouldn't have the grot gunner, and your burner bomma should... i was wondering if there was a reason you did it backwards?
Ive tried some orky scratchbuilds in the past, but find it really hard. I just cant get them scrappy enough. I'll stick with my straight lined imperail vehicles I think
LOL! I have the ideas that if I had a junkyard, welding gear, and fuel, I could make me working scrapper vehicles, find some weapons or make 'em and watch out!

They are already there, the ones in the wings - I'll apply aerodynamics when you get the Space Marines to apply them first Besides, don't all 40k vehicles have anti-grav units?

Because your stuff looks so much better then everything else?
I'm trying to do an Inquisitorial retinue based around Rogue trader Xenos... theres a couple of figures that'll be converted like the inquisitor, the tri-bane (ethreal beings = counts as death cultists) and the penitent-man (tru-scale SM with physical inhibitor = counts as acolyte), Explorator-biologists (counts as acolytes), the rest will either be Rogue trader stuff: Deiurg, Jokaero, Gyrinx. or new stuff: Astropath (IG imperial advisor).
tis a nice little side project to do tbh while I'm building up my nids, plus they'll act as the Protectorate of Calliope VI, along with my SoB Order of the Sacred Rose conclave.
the death ferret looks like a stuft animal! thats why its funny, but i like the new AND old monkeys, the new one because its cool, but the old one because its a mokey! btw childe interested in seeing your =][=! I have only 2 guys for mine so far (the =][= himslef, and either a squat or deimburg or whatever, havent decided yet)

Once I had separate threads, but it was too much of a pain in the balls to keep up and keep everything separated. I'd change the name of the thread, but I don't really want to. This is my P&M blog, you get whatever I am doing at the moment.
politics..meh..I only point out the hatemongers trying to make people hate people they did not hate 4 years ago.
Religion... I'll keep my opinions to myself
My mother...she is a sweet lady, but my stepdad watches Fox News, and so she has fallen victim to the afforementioned hatemongering.
The Beatles..say what you want about their music (Childe and I differ on opinion here) but that being said, Without John Lennon speaking of Peace and Love on TV, we would ALL be a lot more Fascist than we are today. The social change of the 1960s cannot be undone, and THAT I am truly thankful for!

Well you suck Dave... I'd have thought by now you'd have perfected sleep-painting... looking good so far, are you going any redder for "da red paint jobb" look, but also are you going to correct the bleed-through on the go fasta flames?
I ask deese orky t'ings 'coz i 'az to keep da silly 'ooomie on iz stinkin' toes!!!
Well, it is already washed with Fuegan Orange shade, If I need darker I'll use Didi's Magic ink or nuln oil or agrax earthshade, I won't know what it needs until I sit down to paint more though. You can't really plan it, you just have to see what it needs and do it.
Black works really well for yellow paint, it seems it would work well for orange too, but I dunno..this is all experimental at this point. I may decide to start all over yet..I dunno.
Dave the second plane is looking good so far. Hey, are you going to clean up the flames any? (dodges the flying shoe) Just kidding, I can't wait to see how it turns out!
Looking good man! I love that privious bommba, cause I'm lazy could you pop a picture up for me to see becuase I've had to skip a few pages. The current bommba is looking good too! Loving the use of the new paints man!

Not so much missed as I'm needing some bases for my 40k Beastmen (that's what the afore mentioned ork shipment was for ). What ever happened with those Necromunda bases that you got cast? Are they for sale somewhere?
right, I'm sat here trying to rack my brains and for the life of me I can't remember what company produces gothic titan like models...

on an unrelated note... I'd say I'd never buy finecast ever again, but I need two more Hive Guard... GOD DAMN YOU GW AND YOUR FAILCAST... I've spent the better part of a day cleaning up the worst casting I've seen since Raul Julia in Street Fighter...
in other hobby news, GW have pre orders up on wayland games for the new 6th ed stuff, release date 30th June... Psychic cards? Vehicle Damage dice? does this mean 6th ed is more like 2nd/3rd ed? this may be a good thing possibly...
Vehicle damage dice was a 4th ed kind of thing as I had friends who bought and used them. Psychic cards? very 2nd ed. oh what kind of mish-mosh will they do now? seems their even numbered editions for 40k are riddled with issues
