I've got the tracks on, bits of tread plate, some stowage . . .

All the little extras look great! It will look even better with the comms system.

dang. thats a lot of bitz

Very badass sir!!

That sir, looks amazing.

Cheers chaps, thanks for the feedback.

Still building . . . two more vision ports to go. The resin aerials will get replaced with wire, it will also get a load of cam netting later.

Just caught up. Too much to rave about since I was here last so I'll simply say ".....gllurrk" and fall over backwards in my chair. I absolutely love your work and have been staggered every time I've come here. Looking forward to whatever modeling maddness you come up with next, it's sure to be another

Thanks Stalk, much appreciated.

Got some paint on it:

I really love this baneblade! can't wait to see it finished. its just amazing how you do..

i'd love if you could make a weathering tutorial cuz i just love the way you weather your vehicles..

@ DiDDe : Glad you like it. I'll be taking loads of pictures as I go on this one. I'm still short on a couple of bits for it, so I can only take it so far before it will end up on hold . . .

Now with added decals . . .

Your rust work is amazing very realistic !

Thanks, a few more bits to add; like this scanner/radar dish, kindley supplied by Greeble @ the most marvelous 'Ammobunker':



Both my other BB's have this part (from back when you could buy components from GW mail order), thought it would be a nightmare to find as I wanted them to all look similar.

Got some more of Digit's fantastic BOARs, three for a project on the Ammobunker and a couple for moi.
Think I'm done with the build stage for these three; currently the hatches and tailgates all work, so I hope they don't get bunged up at the paint stage . .




Not 100% sure what to do with the other two yet, I like the Quantum Gothic radar dish version Digits did, so may well plagarise that. In the mean time I'm just playing with parts . . .

I like the las version

The MkII AAA version:

Yeah, that looks much better!

Cheers, I much prefer it now.

BOARs with some base coat & the 'red lump' in one piece + an old Marine rescued from a box of old stuff . . .

Everything you do looks amazing- all the time. And the speed that you achieve these incredible results with simply staggers me. It's way beyond technique and proper tools / supplies. I've said it before and will likely say it many more times- you are a master of your craft. I hate that I cannot exalt this thread more than once.

^ I'm totally with that guy!

Thanks for the kind comment, much appreciated.

I feel like I go at the speed of drying paint. The 'red lump' has been around for so long I can't remember when I got it! I do like painting IG stuff, after doing nothing for most of this year, then (like waiting for a bus [not something I do very often]) all this came along at the same time. I think I'll get the BOARs up to the same stage as the Baneblade before i carry on with it. Then I'm just using the same colours at the same time on all of it . . .

Bit of progress.
Forgotten painting the same colour on five of anything was somewhat monotonous , let alone five sets of tracks and wheels. Added some decals and given all a first wash . . .

i always loved these vehilces that Digits makes, btw does he sell them? because i could use some

Don't think he sells them, but send him a PM . . .

Update on the BB, I've been blocking in the areas to have chipped paint, also my daughters 40k hating cat has struck again; chewed off the searchlight (fixed), the stubber and mount (gluing), the tow cable (finally recovered from outside) - not liking the cat at the mo . . .

CATS! GAAAHH!!! Man I completely know that frustration. My wife has 6 cats. I can't count how many times I've wanted to turn them onto boot socks. Vomit, urine, feces on my books / paperwork, breaking, shedding, and chewing on my miniatures... I especially love it when they sharpen their claws on my foamboard terrain.

We both need these

Great work on Super Heavy! Always glad to see new work and always impressed.

photos arnt working for me, but ^that is hilarious skalk

Mmm . . . take 2

I've been following this for a while and I must say your painting is truly inspirational (even if some are hidden by photobucket's rules on bandwidth)

@ Meridia : Thanks very much.

Little update:

I KNOW you did NOT just pull all that excellent work off!
THis must be number two?
