Squeeeee! So excited

Well the big fella is now totally and utterly done. Super chuffed with him ( though the final scratches and glints were almost a bridge too far). Won't be doing proper photos till later in the week bcs reasons! Here's a few wee badly taken details though to give you an idea

Even the 'badly taken' pics make him look amazing!

EDC

Awesome

Beautiful

Cheers lads!

I can't wait for the final pics. It looks incredible from those little tidbits you've shown

Cheers Zam. Yeah - pretty damn happy how he turned out. In the cabinet now with the skitarii swarming aorund him. lol. He took a bit of time but well worth it. Hopefully get some proper photos sorted tomoro or the day after and pop them up then

Ha, your "badly" taken photos look awesome. Such an exceptional paint job Jan, inspirational work indeed.

Cheers fella. was really happy how the dragoon turned out. Got some weathering powders with the Castellax, so I'll add a bit to that dragoon too. That'll be the colour scheme for all the admech I'm planning on doing. The new GW stuff is lush and FW has some gorgeous figs too for it. My wallet shudders at the thought!!!

You getting stuck in with the WHQ Silver Tower then mate?

Man the loyalists are looking pretty good, it would be a shame if they fell to chaos

Superb work Januine. Looking decidedly grim!

@Ustrello - never!!! (I do have plans to make a few heretek priests up at some point though - give the loyalists something to burn on those cold dark nights

@bebopdrums - thx very much fella

Finally, FINALLY - the big fella is totally finished and I got some photos taken....too many photos but hey ho, I'm really chuffed with him
Here's the big guy ready to fire

That is fething amazing Jan. I'd be well proud with that!

I think you've actually one-upped your Knight from last year with that, it's absofethinglutely beautiful!

Cheers lads. Seeing the photos now, I really am chuffed as a Chuffy MacChuffChuffy. Pulled out all the stops for this big boy and tried out a few new things too (which thankfully all worked out and nothing backfired badly!!). Gorgeous model to build (barring one or two wee things) and paint. Really have enjoyed putting this fella to the brush.
How do I top this one....... I think we all know what'll be coming next .......but not for a while yet. I have a Dracosan to convert and paint first - lol

Stunning.

Really nice work Jan, the battle damage looks really good, especially the attention to detail on the metal beneath.

Beautiful work Jan, you've really outdone yourself.

EDC

Many thx folks

Fantastic work. Your efforts have really paid off. Amazing stuff.

It's as awesome as we all knew it would be. Great job.

Wow. Words fail me. Seriously awesome.

Have you entered any painting competitions? You could be taking home awards. Top level stuff.

Again, wow.

Certainly looks like an award winner to me. Sublime Sir!

All your pictures make me realize I need to buy an actual camera, or a stand so they aren't as shaky with my phone. Beautiful stuff as usual though jan!

Well, it took a while coming, but as with all things, good things came along as a result. That is a beautiful piece of work and I know all of the time and care you out in to it. Well done Jan, you deserve to be proud.

Gotta ask - "7 delta 3"? Tell us more. The name oozes ominous.

And can I also ask everyone to apply weight to Jan to post his stories somewhere even if it's here in Dakka fiction section. I've been waiting ages to read about Achlys tertius and I am getting ore than a little impatient :p

Super freaking f**kin' awesome sauce dude - you should be chuffed! it's freakin awesome.

Now make me one

FAAABULOUS!
