Dude.. that'll probably enough to make you braindead.


and YAAY second page! and vik is the lucky one!

lol... well whoever drove by a school with more than 50 km than allowed must have less brain than is needed for drving anyways... so no real threat for him to get brain dead^^

Haha you got a fair point there sir!

let's make it 2 batallions then?

tempting.... but it is for the greater good then^^...ups... we need IG batallions de-molded^^

Lucky soab! If I ordered myself a present like that my girlfriend would literally kill me! Haha

Think I may 'borrow' your lasgun idea, if that's ok with you?

Oh, and subscribed

Haha! well, it was actually her idea to buy something. and who am i to pick the cheapest thing when i can go big!

and hell yeah! take it! do whatever you want with it! i'm glad you like it

and thanks for subbing

Heh..I always notice the moldlines or gaps on GW models and even in the FW Masterclass book..the little bastards are unavoidable, no matter how thorough you sand and file and scrape.!

You know it's true!
Even with anal people like us!
Sitting there for hours going over every square mm of the models and we still miss a few no doubt...

I believe this thread turned into a "mold line" FLAME thread.

JK but seriously lets see some Marauder action!

just hold on and you will get some marauder eyecandy in the near future.

so i'm back! iv'e been at my parents house a couple of days and i went to the yearly festival in the city. and while there i also visited the flgs and bought this!



so now with that small supply-drop i can finnish my flightstand. and i will do that before i continue on the marauder.

LGS is quite an awesome product... very versatile... tho filling gaps sure never really works... but for creating more raised details like wooden textures it is perfect!

Cool that you have what you need to work on that warped or formerly warped model DiDDe.

Dude.. i don't have the slightest idea of what i acctually need to properly build that thing.
but when a problem present itself i'll first try to fix it with things i have at home. if that doesn't work i'll just buy something that does.

and vik, iv'e never used LGS before.. but i thought that one day it may come in handy.

yup... was my idea behind the buy too... and since then i found plenty uses... wounds for instance can be sculpted too...just a hint^^

Keep them hints coming! i wanna know it all!

1. Clean/sand all the parts, fill any airbubble holes, wash them in tepid soapy water, rinse, let dry
2. Warm water to straighten bent parts
3. Get a pin vice and a drill bit the same size as a paperclip
4. Get some paperclips, clip the curves off, you have straight pins
5. Fit the nosecone t o the fuselage halves first.You shouldn't need to pin it, watch your gaps!
6. Drill and pin the wings to the fuselage through the tops (the middle of the fuel caps is a good place, use CA (Super Glue)

Dave is the fountain of awe... awefully useful info...

Whatever you do..
DO NOT
EVER, EVER, EVER
use that rattlecan on a hot, humid day
Your primer will get chunky like mine did, damn near ruined the model.

Dave that's yours?

AWESOME!
Love it.

Yeah, I have a whole gallery album for it. Thanks man

Woot!
*Ran of and voted on them!*

DiDDe i am impressed that this is your first go at resign. Good luck! i will be watching from above.

Yep, Dave covered pretty much the gist of how to work on FW kits.

Damn i'm glad you're here dave! this would surely turn into a full scale disaster if you wouldn't give me those advices

and hot you say.. well.. that's never gonna happen. atleast not here humid, yes. but hot, no..


and Comrade, well, i had to try it sometime. let's just hope i'll do the model justice..


and i planned on having an update for tonight for you guys.. but my poor little girlfriend got foodpoisoned.. so i devoted my day to be with her..
i have however, managed to prime the stand and put some paint on it. there was almost a disaster when i primed it. becouse the primer began to melt the styrene. but i was lucky this time! it only melted alittle on the sides. i guess that coat of watered down PVA i sprayed over it all to seal the sand saved me here.

anyways! tomorrow i'll put up some pics of that for you!

well there was once a fella here from italy...iirc... that ruined the most of his foamcore terrain due to spray primer... he also used the PVA coat for protection... it didn´t help him...

be extra careful!

and hopefully your GF gets better soon!

Hope your girlfriend gets better!

And I'm glad to hear that it survived and that paint is touching model!

Hello guys!

at last. after a week at my parents house, a foodpoisoned girlfriend and last but definatly NOT least, a computer that nearly crashed. it's time for an update!
yes that's right folks you heard it. update time! and be warned! this is a big one!


first off, as i said earlier the primer nearly ruined the whole thing. lucky for me the PVA protected it enough so that only the edges took damage from it.
so i thought i'd start with some pics of that horrible but very much informative lesson.

all primed up


the meltdamage



surely not the best pics in the world.. kinda looks like RWs pics, eh? (don't worry RW i'm just kidding )


and i'll keep this one short.. this is the update i intended to do before my computer nearly decided to give up on me..
just some WIP shots.







and now ladies and gentlemen! the moment we've all been waiting for! i give to you, the final product!

first the base only.







now with the guardsmen.





and with the stand attached.




and now guys. since i made it for my vindictus gunship i must have a shot with it on there.


consider that last one a teaser.. i'll get better pics of it all later today. outside in the natural light.
well, that was that.. and now to continue with my other project. the marauder!

thanks everyone and until next time. take care out there!

Sweet job there DiDDe!

great job DiDDe! you didnt disapoint at all!, although I would reccomend just dirtying up the red floor a bit, other than that its perfect with that plane!
