Looks even more majestic with each post!
I do wonder how much work that's going to be to paint though, good luck!

Work!
The detail and the painting is the fun part... The icing on the cake.

Looks incredible. How tall/big is the finished model going to be?

Amazing Blackadder! Amazing! Looking forward to see it in its grey majesty. How many spray cans will you need? A couple of dozen is my guess!

You're a god among men, Black. Can't tell you have much you've inspired me to do some stuff bymyself, but once A week I think about this thread.

Honestly if it wasn't for his work, I would probably have forgotten to continue to check-in to dakka every so often.

Finally!!!
I lost all my passwords and access to all my forums which is considerably attenuated since the beginning of this year.
This morning I finally got into dakka dakka and am able to post.
So here are the current images with paint primer

I primed both lower leg shields with red primer and hardly used any of the can.
Both feet and the backs of the knee shield likewise.
The paint reveals building indiscretions which I'll chalk up to battle damage. Not at all that unusual for a machine that's millennia old.

Hmm, I don't think I deserve it but there seems like I've been missed over the past few months.
Thanks to all for keeping this tread alive.
Aside from the mishaps with my user name and password.
I had not the energy to post the current work when it really didn't show all the fine detail I was doing.
Tiny bit and pieces and cutting back areas in conflict with other pieces.
Earlier this week I bit the bullet and applied paint to the lower works; legs, feet, knee armour Etc.
What the hey; I also applied gold paint to the upper works...

Doldrums:
Occasionally I get in the doldrums and wonder if this thing will ever be completed.
But then something like today happens where I seemingly can do no wrong.
I started out to see where I could go as far as making windows for the bastions.
I did a google search for stained glass windows and ended up with these.
A bit of resizing with my antique photo editing program
And Walla (sic) stained glass windows reinforced with clear packing tape and we're in business.
Martini time!

Packing tape hu, that is genius!
I use ClipStudio ex verson 1 I got years ago for 60 monies.
When all be done, it be Epic. You will need to make a short video i addition to the pictures to grasp full glory of this build.

Ahhh... bad news.
Packing tape over printed pictures eventually starts to separate from the paper and it starts looking pretty awful. I found out the hard way.
I find clear plastic works way better and ages well.

Thanks for the information.
You know that may be a plus in that there can be too many pristine looking windows on a millennium aged vehicle. Perhaps a bit of deterioration is just what the doctor ordered. We'll see.
I may very well rue the day I didn't heed heed your advice. I cannot say I wasn't warned.

I would use some modge podge, that stuff doesn't age well at all, discolors and cracks. But thinking about it now, maybe that is because I used it outside.
I like your thought process here, makes me want to do it with rear lit LED lights.

Geez, it's been two months since I last posted. I look at this thing and wonder when I'll be able to find the time to work in it again But yesterday I bit the bullet and began masking the citadel four corner bastions I'm rather disappointed in the leg armour It looks cartoonish. Perhaps when I add the washes Rignt now it looks like a giant version of the alpha knights Anyway here's some images to look at until I get my act together.

Washes will help break up that big monoblock of color nicely, and add some depth to things.
Perhaps a drybrush of a dusty brown at the feet that fades as you go up the legs as well...

You've conquered modeling, now you will conquer painting. you just need to start weathering down. Washes, inks. Airbrush if you want to get fancy. Still looks great by the way.
