What a coincidence. I was working on the Arvus today. Putting some rust streaks on the starboard wing. Still got a lot of weathering to do.
And the hangar will probably be a while before i get the time to work on it.
Here are some pics:

Its looking older and older! (as in the weathering is looking nice

Thanks. I am not sure how much weathering will be required yet...

I love to see a nice scratch build, and dont get me wrong, you are doing a great job here with some simply amazing stuff, but thats not why i am posting. I LOVE your sultry mechanics and how they are all standing around conversing in each pic, the dudes that are working on the side of the vehicle here and there too are great. really like the work, but the sultry mechanics rock.

Thanks a lot. It's true that it's the figures that make a good diorama.

Lol.
He hasn't got the weathering all done.
The buyer has disappeared from the face of the earth, so it's looking more and more like i will be keeping this one for myself.
As i didn't want the current colourscheme, i will give him a few more weeks, and if he doesn't contact me, i will do another few shemes.
My first idea was a NASA scheme. The underside all done in black, topside in white with the meatball logos on the wings. It's great to imagine this thing in the service of NASA, hauling people and cargo up to the ISS...
Then i was thinking of a USMC version. Maybe Marine 1 too.
The beauty of this build is that i can do all the schemes one after another, take plenty pics and get cracking on the next colourscheme on top.
Might happen.
Might not...
It's sitting on a shelf right now.
Dare i say it, the best replica of an Arvus ever and it's gathering dust on a shelf, lol.

he best replica of an Arvus ever and it's gathering dust on a shelf, lol.

quite the heretic deed right there!

hope it turns all out to your favor as you like it...tho i think if you still have it for your own then this can only be the best outcome^^

I suppose so.
It's likely to sit on that shelf indefinitely.

Hi great stuff, exalted.

I'd like to see more weathing pics too as I'm looking to steal be inspired by some nice ideas.
I want to paint up my black Valk in a more realistic style and want some pointers, weathering black seems difficult. Pics in my thread, link below, but it's only bascoated ATM.

Keep up the awesome.

You could get yourself a set of the tamiya weathering sets and highlight the valk's panel edges in a lighter colour, to show the wear along the panel gaps.

Any news about arvus or other model!?

Hey there. Thanks for the question, but the Arvus is sitting in a corner gathering dust.
As for other models, i am just beginning a 1/18, GI Joe scale Comanche helicopter hull.
Nothing to do with Warhammer(I'll only post about it this one time), but i will post the main shape drawn on styrene and the vacform risers just for you to see:

mmmmh, interessing......hope you gonna post more image soon!

Thanks a lot.
I doubt this is the place for a project about a GI Joe scale Comanche helicopter though.
If you want to follow the build, i have a WIP thread on the Fighting 1/18th forums:
