I was working of this pic:


And the gun is darker in RL but I will black heavy wash the scope and ammo then earthshade (new devlan mud) wash the metal again

i think then this should be sufficient...

Koolio =) I will post a pic in a sec once finished

Sepia Wash on parts, and black wash on parts should make it just like that.

..Then maybe some silver highlights where the light would shine.

Yeah D I messed around with washes over different areas. Didn't need to add silver as enough of the silver shows through.

Here is the new paint job on the gun:


And a comparison:


Hope you like, thanks for the tips =)

The sniper looks really cool, I like the paint sheme. The new paint sheme of the gun is much better then the last one.

YES, much better... and i really like how you made the comparrision shot... that shows how you cater/care for your subscribers

Really nice. I agree with the concenus that the gun looks alot better now you've darkened it.

Sio what's next in this project...still no sign of Three Dog (A-whooo!)

D

Cheers guys =)

Next up! Either painting the rad scorpions, finishing off interior of chapel, some more regulators, or a new terrain piece I'm doing for a friendly competition . Depending what takes my fancy first =P

So no three dog soon XD

hey looking foward to seeing your entry into the =][_,= terrain competition!

nice of you spartan to do a lil free advertising!!! and i am very glad that you´ve joined!

No problem vik =)

Here's the very beginnings of my new terrain piece:

I say you use the competition to further your post-apocalyptia table!

...Btw, I think your sniper rifle needs some more spot color, somewhere..Perhaps just different washes or glazes on different parts to make it look like different metals. You are VERY VERY close here to making it look exactly like the reference screenshot, which is the point!

Yeah that's the plan, will be a derelict building but more intact than the others.

And I'm gonna leave the sniper as is for the moment. The gun is darker in RL and I've done enough on that model for a while, gotta keep moving to keep it interesting =)

I completely understand man! Sometimes enough is just enough

By far my favourite miniature of the blog!...
I am a fan of the game and the post-apocalyptic feel, and surprisingly you have conveyed it very well in miniature form, without breaking the bank!
The Chapel seems to be coming along nicely and I really like the scavenged barricades ect.
I hope to see more very soon!

so.... where is that cookie stuff ? good start there...

Thanks Josh so glad you like my work
And good choice on a favourite =D

Cheers D knew you'd understand =)

And can't add cookie tray before texture silly vik

thats looking good so far! makes my job harder with all this competition.. freindly competition that is

Hahah yeah I'm gonna beat you all to the ground! In a friendly manner

And can't add cookie tray before texture silly vik

now that is some sweet talk to your judge

but nevertheless a convincing looking concrete surface there...

Hahah whenever I refer to you vik I'll make sure to type silly vik with a winky face =D

Anyway here's the front and side doors of my building, made from thin cardboard, greenstuff and metal mesh

nice doors! what did you make the bottom handle with Silly Spartan

Hahahaha, the bottom one is a slice from some plastic tube and a bit of thinly rolled greenstuff

Is this the building that leads to the mirelurks on that little island?

That is a nice door! The mesh is particularly sexy, it's thicker than the stuff I can find. What is it exactly?

It looks like either Auto body meshing, or grating from an air filter.

It looks galvanized, is it?

The doors are looking rather nice! Well done my friend.
I'm looking forward to more!

I am holding out for pictures of super mutant miniatures before I praise this thread.
