Oh, it's just part of the show. The computer that runs the ride randomly picks one of the passengers in the shuttle to be the "rebel spy" which is what drives the action (i.e. the Empire is looking for you & the shuttle is trying to escape). As the spy... you just sit there and enjoy the ride like everyone else. It was a good excuse to buy a neat jedi Mickey pin though.

OH, forgot your question... something shines a light on your head or in your face early on in the ride sequence, depending on the animation sequence you get. I didn't even realize I was the spy when I got picked as a blue light came down from above (supposed to be Vader singling me out with the force). I just saw other people pointing to me after the ride was over and commenting that "that guy was the spy".

I can really rember what I did when I when to flordia about 4-5 years ago. I like the SW ride, there was a perade, going in early to go on extra rides! Typhone Lagoon water park I loved also!

Fezzes are cool.

My sentiments exactly!



Well, I found a used Vindi that I'd gotten a while ago and started sorting out all the bits. I think I also have one that's NIB. While I do love rescuing old models it might be nice to work with a new model. Both sets are for the same (Mk. 1) vindi. The used one is a little beat up but I believe is complete and serviceable.

Any thoughts?

simple, build both

Nice idea Matt, but I only have time for one as the deadline for Adepticon is fast approaching. They'll both work... I'm just curious about what most people would rather see... the resurrection of a used model or the construction of a "new" (unbuilt) one.

Good news is I picked up the primer I need, so I hope to have something to show for it before bed time.

Build the NIB one first becuase it will be quicker then do a restration! Or restore the old one and build the other new one after the deadline as a teat?

NIB. I think it would add some variety

I'd go for the NIB one as well, gives you something different to do before you get stuck in with the painting.

Will you be doing a snazzy dozer blade?

I have to play devils advocate and say used the old one, only because I love to see how people like to change the old styles and convert!

old one first, it fits in asthetically with what you already have tank wise

Started the painting on the chappy. Black primer, dark-med grey highlighting followed by a dark green final highlight (very light) to give him a hint of green to match the chapter, then washed with black and lined in black. Just started work on the details... we'll see where things go from here but I'm hoping it'll come together pretty quick. Excited about finding a primer that works with my airbrush... very nice indeed.

Doesn't he need the Crux Terminus thing? Or are you not going with that for a fluff idea, MW so not had access to new weaponry for a while, etc. (although they are relics, so you'd think they keep them). nice kit bash though!

What primer did you use?

Love the green tint, nice idea

Looks very cool gitz! Like the suttle green hilight!

@IM: Didn't have a crux. Oops.... yes... fluff reasons, that's it. TBH I've never liked the standard crux, so when making this chappy I was going at it from the perspective of something I'd like to have for myself. I can modify the weapon if GS wants me to, but I just love that FW axe.

@Vit: Vallejo Surface Primer. Doesn't say that it's specifically an airbrush primer but it can be loaded directly into an airbrush with no problems what-so-ever. Leaves a nice thin coat that doesn't cover up the details.

@HAZ: It'll be interesting to see what happens to the highlight once the rest of the details get brought up. I'm guessing it'll disappear a bit, but I won't know for sure until the fig's near finished. Then I have to decide how to handle the edge highlights... all in grey or do I add touches of green here and there. Hoping to get most of the details finished this evening.

Sweet, may definitely have to look into that then!

Hmm..I like the Idea of a grey, green blend on the chap!

I certainly like the concept of the coloring but... has it been applied yet?

Cause I'm not really seeing it. Unless it's super-ultra-subtle.

And who needs the Crux? Axes are cooler. Chaplains need a proper mace rather than just beating people with their seal of office.

You can see the green in the picture. it is highlighted from the top right.

Have you seent he primer in other colors? White?

SL

What is the name and brand of the primer.

It's looking really cool Gits! Can't wait to seeing the next update.

@Vit: Vallejo Surface Primer

It's "Vallejo Surface Primer", comes in black, white, a couple of shades of grey and a number of other colors that look military in nature. Apparently it's flying off the shelves at my FLGS. I have small bottles of black and white, and larger bottles of dark grey and white again. Since I mostly prime with white, that works for me. It works right out of the bottle & lays down a fine, smooth coat of primer without covering up details. Nice stuff. The larger bottles cost around $8 U.S. I'm guessing they'll prime as much as your standard aerosol can.

Yes, the green is on already and yes, it is very subtle.

Glad everyone likes it, especially you GS.

Snuck in a little painting over lunch... got the bone & some of the steel done.



Not sure where to go next... gold maybe.

I love that axe!~

The bone color is a nice choice for the boltpistol. I like it when the slides/shells are interesting colors.

Made some good progress tonight. Just the axe, wings, insignia and base left to do. Unfortunately those are all pretty tall orders... especially the axe and the wings. No idea how I'm going to handle the axe blade yet... obviously can't airbrush it. Guess I'll sleep on it. I must admit I'm pretty pleased with it so far.

The gold looks very nice Gitz, i have shyed away from gold after the debacle with my necrons.

I did this gold a little differently than normal. I usually just paint a couple of shades and cover it with sepia wash... which works fine, but for some reason I decided to use a variety of shades to blend it through this time. Still looks fine, and perhaps a bit better on the larger areas around the jump pack. I did add sepia wash to the gold areas on the staff... you can see it's a bit darker and redder than the other areas.

I think I know how I'm going to approach the axe and wings now... just hope I can pull it off.

Very nice. The green highlight turned out well!

I'd like to see a front shot. From the pictures it looks like you need more definition on the face. Eyes as well.

Like the gold design choices.
