I was there just wondering i might have seen you although i don't know who you are
No I wasnt and to be honest im unfamiliar with that event. is it a big event?? and more important, was it any good??
Back on topic, i have some new pictures of my Rhino.
I primed it with Citadel Chaos Black and The Army Painters Dragon Red.
I have to say that TAP's (the army painter's) primer is really good! you need to spray it up close, so you have to keep it moving to keep the paint from pooling but it dries really fast and gives a good, solid base!
What i did btw was I primed it when still partially disassembled. I sprayed the inside, bottom and tracks black, then masked the tracks and insides where needed, and sprayed the rest red. I was pretty happy how it turned out after priming. i then proceeded to paint some of the parts that are gonna be metal colored with chaos black, and i already partially painted the inside.
OH it's big. it's like a GT for clubs. if you can find 3-5 players you can enter next year. like every mayor warhamer fantasy and 40k it is organised by the saints.

ok did a little bit of work on my rhino yesterday evening.
to be honest I could have spend more time on it but I was distracted by DIABLO 3!!!!!!! I kind of finished off the insides of the rhino... im thinking of painting a little OSL inside, but i might not because what im thinking off will probably ruin it
I also washed the whole thing with devlan mud, and i already learned a crucial step for the next time I will paint a larger model with TAP primer spray. What i did this time is wash straight over the primer. But TAP primer spray is designed for that spray, paint, dip, shake method they developed and the wash kept pulling away from larger area's.
this isnt a problem as i still have to paint gore red over it and this was just for shading, but next time i will put paint over the primer before washing. that should solve the problem.

you no longer need to show those pieces or armor?? why am i going through all this trouble???
i worked a bit on my rhino again (i know you guys must be tired of my slow progress but i like to take my time so STFU ) and what i did is i used the new citadel dry paint kindleflame to drybrush the edges. i used a large flat brush and i tried to use an technique that i use directional drybrushing, which is pretty much avoiding large flat surfaces and just catch the edges of them.
pictures of this below.
also, at the bottom, you will find my latest tool! i thought i'd get myself an airbrush. i bought a really cheap one (cheapest gravity feed dual action airbrush and the cheapest piston compressor with tank i could find) but i havnt had much time to test it yet.
if anyone has some good airbrush tutorials (and now where someone uses an airbrush, but where someone explains HOW to use an airbrush) please leave a link in the replies
Damn, I love the 'white' on the rhino hits the spot perfectly.
The highlights also look nice, not too much fuss. The black marks/shadows/dust is also amazing.
Just how come you didn't put blood raven symbol on door rather than iron halo?
Can't wait to see this fully done

idk if ill include him in the armylist, but im planning on making a model for him anyway.
already have some idea's on how to build him up and make him stand out more. including making him a bit larger and buffing his torso a little bit.

the 'white' or cream or bone color lexicanum and DoW refere to, is done with bone white highlighted with offwhite. ill change this recipe now that i have my airbrush though.
although the effect will be roughly the same.
ive added some extra dirt to the bottom, and ill be doing some battle damage, but the bulk of the bodywork is done.
finally, the reason i chose for the iron halo on on that side hatch rather then the ravens emblem is because there are already 2 on the top of the rhino, and ill add more when finalizing the details.
ok last picture of this incomplete rhiro.
i did some script work on it, some grease, some weathering around the tracks and gave the whole thing a coat of matte varnish (applied with my airbrush, yay!)
ok people to get a nice test area for my airbrush i bought a CoD Basilica Administratum.
damn this is a heavy boxset! and the amount of plastic you get for the money spend is amazing!
i dont have pictures of the sprue's but basically what you get is 2 large sprues with wall sections, supports and details and 1 large sprue with floor sections, a ladder, a lightpost and some other details.
i understand that the administratum is the largest of the 3 (administratum, manifactorum and the sanctum imperialis.
and its really big!!!
its the biggest thing ive every build since ive started the hobbby (its also my first scenery piece) and i was afraid to actually start building it.
im gonna use 2 or 3 wallplates made of plasticard to break up the extreme ornate wallpieces the rest of the model will have.
i hope i can finish it tonight and if everything goes well ill receive my airbrush primer today do i can start getting used to my airbrush, paint up a nice piece of scenery all at once!
(not counting germany) but i might check it out as a guest next year.
