Thank you :x

if you look carefully the blades are different length >.> ...

I finally broke down and completely CUT OFF all the snapped off areas well it seem to be working for now ...

Nice. Personally I'd add some Devlan Mud wash to dirty them up, but that depends on how 'dirty' you like your ork machines.

I'm strongly considering converting my koptas to 'jet bike' technology just to avoid those darned blades!

If all fails , im probably just going to snip the blades off and call them war bikes...

-_- why does my orange or red always gets messed up when uploaded into dakka gallery?

It looks like uneven 1 coated now!

Luna, I really like your orks! They are just really nicely painted!

Keep up the great work!

Cheers,

Jack.

Luna, they are orks, blade size means nothing to them
kudos on the koptas though, your painting just6 keeps getting better :*


on a side note, made an order today for a few parts to start that custode idea you helped me with

The paint scheme made me think "tron cycle conversions waiting to happen." Very nice - as for the color issue you mentioned, may be a picture format-type issue.

Great work, I would'nt worry about the blades, to be honest uf you had'nt had entioned it I wouldn't have even noticed lol

Because the auto-adjust feature applies a generic colour-enhance filter that works some of the time. If you have photoshop (or GIMP) you can adjust the levels and curves manually and tell dakka to use the original image.

!! does that mean if i choose the "original image" option it wouldnt happen?
if yes, then wow thats easily solved!

Ive had that problem aswell (not only reds, but yellows tend to get a dark-ish tinge)
just need editing 1st then keep them as origional when uploading.
it also tends to make pics darker at times.

It could very well be your monitor too, Luna. They look pretty red to me. Looks like I can some highlighting on the red, as well.
Either way, these look really nice.



Ghidorah

They look pretty good. Job well done.

Luna they look great! I dig your Ork paint jobs! Look forward to stealing some ideas once I get off my lazy azz and paint mine up

They look good to me. As for the colors, on this monitor I can see distinct reds and yellows, but they change significantly with the lighting. The same area of the same kopta looks like a dusty brick in one shot and slimy barn in the other. Assuming there's some measure of continuity in the actual paintjob (which I DO assume, considering your work that I've seen), then I'd say job well done. Actually, the yellows are pretty consistent. They actually look almost identical to the yellow buttons on dakka (post reply, quote, etc.). So... yeah. Job well done.

They look very cool Luna, and yes, edit them first, then chose 'use original' when you upload.

Luna... You need to stop posting ork things you paint. My jealously to how good they are gets bigger and bigger every time D: However I like the things you post so keep them comming... One day Ill paint my orks and your models have indeed given me some good idears... Mite have to steal this paint scheme for my own koptas! If dats okay with you

Really great work Luna.

gj on the checkerboard sections.
I can never get those looking right

Thank you! , but i do mess up the checkers very often ( for example near the curve / edges ) the size are abit off on some.

Mega Armor Nob or Tank Busta do you guys want me to paint next?
(feels like Bikes would end up looking similar )

Luna youre stuff is amazing I just love you're work

Keep it up

nobz or tank killy people... I just dont know.... Tankbustas! So I can get ideas and paint mine lol!

Yes, assuming you adjust the colours yourself, you can make sure you get as close to the original colours as possible.

This is assuming you've calibrated your monitor of course, or you could be adjusting for something that isn't there!

ummm abou the problem for the broken roters i never glued them on or together just snap fit em on before every battle seems to work for me
and great paint job
