hrmmm like the bastion idea, but I think you really need to clean up the molding on the models.

Thank you,

I alway's seem to forget to clean up the mold lines.....

thank you again,

DC

I picked up 2 more rhino's yesterday, so you will be seeing those tommorow.

Only tracks and headlights left now

Thanks for your time,

DC

Small update.

Rhinos are done.

Practicing making, applying and controlling washes from foundation paints.

They seem to be working well.

God I love charadon granite........

DC

Well that flesh experiment seems to have worked out very nice... Let me guess: 1st layer Elf flesh 2nd layer elf flesh wash with ogryn flesh?

no, started with dark flesh, 3 more layers with added elf flesh, 2 more working to a final highlight of bleached bone before appling a very watered down wash of baal red ogryn flesh and devlan mud before re-hghlighting elf flesh up to bleached bone.

about an hour and a halfs work



DC

your painting has come along way DC looks fantastic keep it up your getting better and better. 10/10

^.^

this keeps getting better & better

^.^

DC

na na na na na na na na UPDATE!!!!

but just a small one

I have got a few days off school because of some "adverse weather conditions" and have been painting :O.



tune in next week for another insignificant update!

BYE

DC

Hey, those scout poses look good. Haven´t been on much lately, so I hadn´t seen them till now.

Also, as others have said, liking the painting more and more. Washes are a godsend for rank and file work.

thanks.

I like the new washes but there seems to be nothing for white.

Badab black ruins the colour to me and makes it uneven.

I usaully water it down 4:1 but then it does not work much anyway :S

Thanks for the nice comment ^.^

I hate the scout poses so much.

They look like to REALLY old metals, but worse.

I hate the forwards feth pose with the wepons at the side.

It looks ridiculous....

anyways.

Gryphonne Sepia or 1:2 water - devlan mud seem to work for me

Looking good! Try using a thinned codex grey, alternatively.

thanks I'll try them and get back to you with the results

^.^

These last suckers does'nt look bad at all, I just wondered in the beginning, how can the marine only have basic colors and a wash or something similar and that poster look that great! Also that book with the eye inside looked rather nice! But your normal guys just aren'T thaaaaat good... Seem to be just drybrushed... I think you can do it as good as the poster or book and they will look just fantastic! Althoug the Space Wolf looks fine to me

thanks

The problem is I don't have the time (or patience) to paint every man to that.

My marine took me a bout 8-10 ish hours, while the marine I am doing have only had 2-3 hours.

I have to fit in school, homework, chores, assembly, and pet handling (I have geckos ((and one is preggers)))

and I am not organised.

and lazy.



doing more work now

thanks for the comment.

I aprreciate the time it takes (this sounds cheesy)



DC

I know, the hobby can be rather time consumpting, but I always think, hey, I've spend about 30 bucks for this unit, if I paint them bad, its not worse the money... but you're right, I#m also going to school and it just takes so much time and sleep is getting so little o.O

lol

I just started sleeping in

I went from 6:30 every morning to 10:45 in a few days

such is the life of an almost teen

My life is dominated by school and my gaming addiction

(I LIKE TO HUG MY COMPUTER AND STEAL ITS HEAT ^.^)

I just spent a few hours shoveling ice and snow from my drive.

SO COLD (((*.*)))

oh well, i got a HOT CHOCOLATE (OMFG's ^.^)

anyways.

I will stop yabbering on.

I hope to upload something by midnight.

(probably not)

^.^

DC

I got bored (and a bit hungry)

So I decided to kill and eat last years reindeer

It is chocolate (just so no-one hates me)

it tasted yum

HA!

DC

sorry I haven't updated in AGES

i finished this guys AGES ago.

I have the ussual excuses: school, exams, laziness!

here he is:

DC

It's good to see how you've improved; some very nice work there on that guy. How goes the rest of your army?

thank you very much ^.^

the rest of my army is going REALLY slowly.

I am focusing more on my watercolours.

I am planning to finish some marines

I always put too much detail into my bog standard marines. I don't want them to look bad but at this rate i will have none painted!

HELP!

DC

Overall your painting have improved very much DC and your call for help will be replied. You have mentioned before that 1 marine takes around 8-10 hours? (correct me if I'm wrong) this is quite long for a standard model. Maybe you should get a batch painting technic that is more efficent, I myself paint my chaos marines 3 at a time. Study the detail of the models and then come up within what stages you will apply your colours in the most efficent way. So for me panting marines that is painting the eyes first and then all the basic coulors, then washes and tyding up. After that add more detail like layering, drybrushing and highliting and then it's pretty much done.

Now I hope that I have made myself clear (english is not my first language so bare with me) but I hope it will help you mate

i agree, painting more than one marine would save you time (and paint i guess), or at least prime all at the same time, ( thats what i do because priming is kinda tedious :/)

btw how is the bastion, any updates on that?

your armour looks dirty like still seeing the chaos black undercoat, but i suppose its still in wip so no worries...

Cool stuff. I like the blue patch on his face. Very...Space-Wolvesee.

Heya, not a bad looking army... I just wanted to mention something though... The picture you have of that purple dragon over the trees should be taken down from your gallery until you actually modify it. Thats a McFarlane Dragon, posting it in your gallery makes it seem as though you made it yourself.
