I dunno; I feel your pain. Ultimately they are "right" even if they feel a bit goofy. Maybe - and not to make life more awkward for you - hazard stripe 'em?

No... that wouldn't be consistent with their purpose or RL precedent (and nearly impossible to do well).

Hi, Gits. Your army is getting bigger and bigger, and your thread hasn't slowed down a bit. The new recruits are looking brilliant. Glad to see you are keeping up the good work.

Those Rhinos are looking awesome, I think the railing is a tad goofy, but it does certainly bring the color forth without ruining previous paint (or at least getting it back to what it was without having to repaint the entire thing).

Just make sure to tell your opponents that the rails aren't a part of the hull

The rails actually have the same footprint as the running boards (see top-down photo)... so I don't think it matters.

Have another update in the offing... one more night of work to do first.

I know, but that smidge between the rails and the "hull" could save your poor rhino from some devastating shots

Finished the first of the LS Typhoons. I don't know if you can see the difference but there's a lot more work on this one from the last photo. About the best edge highlighting I've ever done, more details painted, some lining, lenses, etc. This is "finished" save for any damage/weathering I want to do later.



I snapped these shots as the speeder was making a patrol run. Hope you like them!

Second LS Typhoon is done. I don't know that it merits a photo... looks pretty much like the first one. Kind of anti-climactic actually. Ah well, on to airbrushing the last two bits... the quad gun & the dev sergeant. Have a practice team tournament coming up in a couple weekends... be nice to have them done by then.

We refuse to take sides in this anymore. And we refuse to let you turn us against one another. We know who we are now, we can find our own way between order and chaos...

It's over because we've decided it's over. Now get the hell out of our galaxy! Both of you.

See post above Dee. Dev sergeant & quad gun next. Both primed and ready to go.

Here's the army as it stands. You can see the two things I have left to do in dark green (primer). Picture was taken before I put the final touches on the left LS Typhoon.

Hmmm... "shadow FX"? I'm not sure I get you.

These'll stand pat as they are for now. I will eventually re-visit all my vehicles and weather & chip them, but for now... it makes sense to keep everything painted to a consistent final standard.

Yeah, SL did that one for me. . I just did the base.

I've got about six objectives but I think this is the best.
