Thanks Bama! I've got to finish those tankbustas I started before this kit sidetracked me What next? I dunno- Still no LEDs for the SeaView, so I dunno.

I'll Wait to base the Dakkajet until The other two kits are done and ready for basing- much easier to do them all at the same time.

boo on the lack of leds. yea you should prolly do some tank bustas as i should prolly do some marines that have been staring me down for the better part of 3 months

Just keeps getting better! Nicely done!

I for one do not think that Ork stuff needs highlights. That would imply there being a clean spot on the vehicle that is shiney enough to cast a glare.

Ork skin can get highlights, I mean even if they are dirty, they sweat right? Sheen = glare = highllight.

As for the Bomma, I haven't commented yet because words escape me. It looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! you could go futher, and add some discoloration to the guns and ehaust pipes, maybe some oil leaks here and there streaking back across the wings or fusilage, but you will still blow the minds of anyone who sees it. I say keep it as is.

Oh, and if I buy one of these, will you paint it for me?

Thats like asking "do Orks shower?" personally the answer is No

Thanks Jake! Sure I'll paint one! - My next two will utilize the airbrush more, save me some time with the brushwork. I wanted to use the color sequence from this month's WD to see how well it would turn out
It already has highlights..If you look closely, you will see orangish-red around the panel lines- without those, it would not pop, so SOME highlights are necessary, but perhaps more would be too distracting?

Hmmmm, maybe on a few panels, like where a grot was thrown in anger, and "accidentally" wiped a part of the aircraft clean.

I haven't heard of Chaos getting any new flyers, and I really don't like the ones they have:


I thought maybe I could Chaos-ify one of these Bommas.

hmm...I've never painted chaos stuff before.

I know the engine is too clean..I just can't do it, I want to look at it like this for now

damn dave it looks great!

you do realize that your painting skills have gone places? you are far further away from your once ago painting style when you painted your catachan force... really...i don´t try to sweeten here anything...

so have you got any clever plans for the base?


and what´s with the artistic picture taking? i swear you are going all professional now on us...the nerve...

Haha- Thanks Vik! It's all about reading, and practicing, but I really appreciate it my friend!

I don't know about the base yet Vik, It's better to base all three planes at the same time..later

When I started this blog (still less than a year ago) I couldn't take pictures for gak remember? -I am using the same Canon Powershot camera, but I suppose I have finally learned how to use it! but, The OTT daylight lamp I got is really the winner.

Thanks Rogue! I really appreciate your loyal readership sir!

well... for me the whole thread serves as a short cut for reading... you read all these expensive books... i read your musings and what not^^ and i feast upon it^^so one day i can do this eventually too^^

yeah... daylight... argh... one of these days^^

as for the base... may i throw an idea in the ring...? try some cotton wool stiffened with PVA to make nice fluffy clouds... and have them bommas soar above the clouds... free orks... ^^

I looked, and I don't have any cotton balls, hafta get some, but that is a great idea Vik!

It made me want to make good on the Size Comparison request!

Great work! Love the paint job!

now that looks like a nice chase scene!...and it looks as if the valk is almost 1.5 of the bomma...maybe even more...

i like the second pic looks like he is lining up for the kill to add another tick to his kill tally

exactly!

glad to help out vik

yup... teamwork is everything^^

Heh...silly

Just have to eliminate the white edges and you almost have a WD pic!

heh..no it's all backwards..lol the planes are out of focus and the bg is in focus...I was just playing around

I really need a blue sheet or something, and need to get more light in the scene to eliminate the shadows..

well get your ass in gear then Dave and get it together man!!!

lol..one of these days..

Your really beginning to let the side down you know



btw, unless you have hi res HD video capture/image capture, blue screen isn't going to work... but as a side note, it's green screen you want. blue leaves just as much fuzzy edge as white. hence why everything cgi is filmed on green

Aaha
now we now the secret for Childe

im confused?

Same here RW... I don't think he was speaking english, galifreyan or even gibberish... as they are the only languages I know

ok good... for a second i thought he meant that greenscreen was your secret and i was like... um, thats kind of common knowledge (at least for me)

lols i'd have thought it was common knowledge for everyone... but I stopped assuming that for a lot of things a long time ago lol... as what I thought was common/general knowledge doesnt seem to be anymore...

is it me or is this planet getting stupider? (not aimed at you shas, tis a side thought lols)
