Man that is really cool, it clearly shows some mega improvements! You should be very proud of how far you have come in such a short time. That last captain is very close to perfect!

Hehe...aww Thanks |

By the way, I'll have to go to the shop this week end and get all the paints I need for painting up your Ultradude. I have very few blues in my paint stash. But will get right to it after that!

Ooh! Sweet! Looking forward to it! I'll need to try find the time to paint up that space wolf.

You and me both LDP! I need to take more time off work now just to paint the things for everyone! :-) it may take a little while but i won't forget and it WILL be done! i can promise you that!

Hehe, I'll continue to paint your languid captain whenever I can find the time

Hey all, so I finally got some more plastic glue (which might I add has been made SMALLER!) and constructed my land raider, for my first land raider I think i've done very well, and in a cinematic pose, it looks mean! i'm going to try paint it as soon as because of how excited I am but it's going to take a long time with a brush :\. This is where an airbrush would come very much in handy

I'll have you know, young whipper snapper, that I've painted all of my tanks by hand, even my baneblade. Sure it might not be so convenient, but when you don't have spray paint or an airbrush you do what you've gotta do Anyway, I like the land raider, besides that the heavy bolter barrels are looking... incomplete. The sprue left on the front looks bad, and though drilling the barrels is optional, I always like that asthetic. By the way, are the top hatches glued down? I always like to be able to change stuff out up top- I always find it handy to have a multi melta ready for the close firefight.

But! Good for you, adding the Land Raider to your force. Always a good decision to make. I can't tell you all the times it's just been stunned and still effective because of the Machine Spirit in it. Really great for holing up a squad of assault terminators or just holding off most shots to it (besides 1 time when a Salamander iron clad podded right beside it and twin link melted it up first turn :( )

Anyhow, it's still going nicely from what I can make out. Just remember to love on the bolters a bit! Kaesar II

Yes I agree the bolters still need some work :\

Fix them now! :-) then tell everyone you won't be contactable for 2 days, stock up with energy drinks, snacks and something heartier to sustain yourself hmmm maybe like a leg of lamb considering where you're from (make sure you have roast potato's with it) and paint that bad boy up! don't stop, don't sleep, don't ....well don't do anything i wouldn't do anyway!

Looking forward to seeing it finished dude!

Nerdfest09

Haha! Not much I can follow that up with, i'm very excited to work on it and definately want to get it finished! I'll try and do as much as I can if not ALL this weekend. But remember! I don't want to rush it!
Thanks for the feedback

LDP

Definitely don't rush it, I am sure it will look great when its done however, can't wait to see the end result.

Lol thanks Aslyum Inmate, neither can I! hahaha!

At least you get to see it before the rest of us lol

Looking forward to seeing that Raider broseph, keep it up!

JAMES! get off DAKKA and paint dude!:-) leave ldp to fondle his landraider into a glorious tempest of wrath for crushing the emperor's foes! you need to stoke the fire and wolve up my man!


LDP.....hey dude :-) how's the raider looking? any sneaky pics for us? and stop encouraging jirc to get stuck looking at you models! if you were a little less entertaining and didn't paint so quick he'd have his army done by now! lol

and you should be close too? much more to paint for it?


Nerdfest09

Hey Hey! Nerfest! How's is going?
I'll try to get some pictures up tonight or tomorrow. Thus far I've got the entire hull painted up to the blue stage and the top has been highlighted. It's taking much longer then I thought! I've been working quite long and hard, but will increase my output . Since this is my first proper tank, (after experiences with old rhinos where washes looked horrible, and things generally went wrong) I decided that I wouldn't wash this tank, making the task longer still! I've had to paint wash into all the recesses individually which took a while, but worry not, for it's all done, all I have to do is highlight the sides, and i've done all the large flat work that i'm not so good at, then detailing which hopefully wont take too long, and i'll hopefully have the finished product up on the blog anytime between Wednesday and Sunday (depending on how inspired I feel throughout the week.)
So yeah, i'll talk to y'all shortly!

Keep cool,

LDP

Hey lads, most of the update was mentioned in the previous post, so here are the pics!

LDP

Great colour scheme, love the landraider, great job.

Thanks alot! I want to get it finished as soon as! Look out for updates

LDP

Hiya Lips - nice Ultras, mate. Land Raiders are cool and that's starting to look like one cool Land Raider. Particularly like the posing of the gunner - looking off to the side like that works well. Keep up the good work!

hehe cheers Doggles! I'm going to get some pictures up tonight of my progress, most of the stuff that will be painted not blue has been done black, and ive done the front of the tracks, the HBs and some details on the front!

Seems like alot to do still, but know that i'm getting there.
hehe!

;D LDP

Hey guys, long awaited update I guess, i've been working, just not blogging, so sorry about that.

anyway, I'm going to be entering for two Golden Demon categories and i'll post models and any results (unlikely! ) at the end of the competition, but i'm entering them tomorrow. So wish me luck!

But yes, what have I been working on? I searched deep into the bowels of my boxes and found some of the old Tau I had, we bought a battleforce a while back. I managed to find 2 unpainted fire warriors and have started to paint one as the traditional Tau colour scheme (the sandy one) and so far its coming out ok, just takes layer after layer to get it uniform, that's all. I also did some detailing on the Land Raider, but it still has alot of work to be done, so without further ado, I present to you, the pictures:

(LDP)

Looking good dude! I have been eagerly waiting for more updates! Are the Tau something you wish to get back into or just to break up the monotony of painting Ultramarines? I just watched the Ultramarine movie, have you seen it yet?

Hey jirc, I been loving the tau for as long as I can remember, and after playing Dark Crusade practically non stop as tau, my spark was re kindled and I would love to collect a small force, but alas I possess insufficient funds , but I will get there, someday.

And yes, ive the ultramarines movie, pretty darn good ;P

Yeah I quite enjoyed it. Hey I've got a few Tau, nothing special, a few old models my brother gave me. PM me your address and I'll post them over at some point.

Awww you dont have to do that ;P

Not a worry. They will just sit here in my cupboard otherwise, I'll never get around to painting them... If you want them they are yours.

Wow I've been away for too long from your thread. That Land Raider is fantastic! Also, awesome job on the Fire Warrior, a man after my own heart

Thanks Mr.Malevolent! It really means alot!

LDP

P.S Jirc, it's up to you dude, do what you want, they belong to you after all. But thanks in advance for whatever response you choose, making the offer is what counts
