What Vit said.

Loveing it, very very nice.

Indeed It looks "real" somehow.

There is no "too much" in weathering
Looks ace
He's been in the thick of things for a while now, and there is only time for refuel, rearm and minimum maintenance - well probably getting the windshields cleaned too - but definately not time for a *pfft* paint job!
Real men fly weathered jets

Bad flying, weather damage and battle damage it leaves its mark, like the red tail wing against the green camouflage, but where is the pin up on the nose

Now were taking!!!!! Im sorry too much weathering?!? There can never ever be too much weathering..... well unless it gets blown up...te he troll a lol a lol a lol lol lol....don't worry I wont quit my day job....

I agree, a pin up would add another layer of awesomeness, and realism to what is already a great model.

Nice, I'm liking the stuff in this blog!
Also, because proto told me to:

Wow! I wasn't expecting to wake up to such great comments! Thanks a lot guys! I went to bed feeling that I had overdone it, and was not looking forward to re-spraying some of the camo pattern with the 0.2mm needle.

That thunderbolt is great?!
Where did you get the money for such a bad ass?

She is beautiful, Dave. I expect nothing less from you. It the us airforce that insists on pretty planes.....

Thanks Max! It's all Navy here, in the grim Darkness of the far future there is no Airforce

@Gerner, thanks man. The money came from my bank account, which gets put there when I go to work

The good news is, I have confirmed that old Kommando Khaki=new Baneblade Brown =FoW Khaki same color shade exactly.

gotta agree to the fullest with all the others... the weathering looks totally convincing and is not overdone at all...

the red is a totally cool touch... as is the awesome looking skull decall on the fin... if it is possible... will you do some nose art? as with the model there is probably no real space enough but it would be so cool... tho i now my chances are probably slim to none

and matt... that is so cool...that lil pic just is exactly how i feel about lego^^

Great paint job as always, etc etc... same ol' same from me. What I really want to know is how many hours a day do you sleep? 3? 4? The productivity you display is not normal. Either you telecommute and glue things together while you code, or you are pushing the limits of human endurance.

My respect remains the same, even if your secret recipe for success is meth.

LOL You guys all see the pics, where do you suggest I paint nose art? .. the tail fin is really the only real place for the Personal Heraldry OR (like in my case) the Squadron Identification.

Supply Drop (or stuff I don't need right now drop)

1. The first of three FW orders I am expecting, PEB Aquillas and General Grizmund (He will ride in the cupola of my last Old-Skool Russ)
2. Trade Goods from Whalemusic!

LOL @ Skalk
I sleep about 6-7 hours a night (longer on weekends) What do you mean? I work 1.1 mile from home, 8 hours a day, we usually come home for lunch most every day.
LOL It's taking me forever to get this paintjob done!

yeah i know there was no space left for some nose art^^

the new suply drop is truly sweet...those guns look specially cool... the upper ones... where are these from?

and are these pig iron heads?

and those RT IG´s looks like you are planning a new tank? you know have quite enough crew heinis for a new one^^

I don't know, I'll have to ask WM. See the two kneeling minis? Those are Badass, but I don't know where they came from either. The Beret guy looks like he'd fit in with the old plastic Stormtroopers. The other and his forage cap will add to my growing squad/gang/killteam of forage-cap-wearing doods.
Yep, Pig Iron heads..A bunch of em too!

New Tank planned?? I have about 9000 new tank projects planned in my head, but perhaps??

nice supply drop dave, you got some great goodies from FW, and that trade ended with you having some amazing bits!

Yep! If they don't have what you ask for at GD or any show, they ship it to you free, I went back 3 times
I am still waiting on both sets of weathering powders, more decals, Punisher cannons, and bombs.

since your pics sadly are not zoomable... would you mind showing the heads a bit better?

and yes... those kneeling ones ... i think i saw them on ebay once... cool looking ones... specially because of the poses... the upper one is speaking in his com link?

Yep.

oha... what are ye up to with all these nazi looking heads now???


and where are these guns from? the left one and the mini gatling...hmmmm nice^^

I don't know, to either of your questions.
If I had a HUGE source of plastic greatcoats I know what I'd do with them

well... grab yourself one of the big bags of warzone minis then.... it´s what i have done some months ago... and i will do some evil IG´s with these...

with your founds you could easily make 80 new men in less then a week... ebay is your lookout here... and the paintscheme for mine will be rather simple...

oh by the way... do you have a link to share how i can make a blast smoke cloud out of PVA and cotton wool?

No link, but just spraypaint it heavily with black, then mist on grey, then white. -If you do that with Woodland Scenics clump foliage, it looks like thick, black, noxious smoke from a burning vehicle.

well i don´t own foilage atm... but i do have cotton wool... hmmm do you think i can gue on the wool with superglue or PVA to the stand of my UFO? ad then do as you said?

Sure..try it on a block of wood or scrap something first...

yeah, that is probably the right way...

There's an app called "Warpaint" (I think), it used to be "Paint Converter". There's a thread about it in the Dakka discussions forums. It handles exact paint matching between all the major paint lines. I downloaded it to my phone, and now I don't wonder, anymore, which matches which.

I still like to see it with me eyes though

Paint chips...It's for Dinner!

coolll all painted on... and it looks like dents and such things...very convincing!
