**Vitruvian XVII**

Nice progress!!

**ZeinEizoku**

hey man, glad to see more work.

I thought you were dead for a while there lol.

The only thing I have to say is... they are Shinny...XD

But the painting is still awesome

**person person**

A bit too shiny for me.

Still awesome.

**Tauzor**

The varnish has lost some of its shine overnight , phew - I think a quick splash of new matt can might help as well

**Gundam-Mecha**

If youre worried about your varnish being to glossy or shiny give it a quick spray with some dullcote, it will tone it down right away and help take the shine off.

Great progress by the way and a great army. It takes a confident man to paint a yellow army, even with the foundation paints

**Tauzor**

A quick shot of the unit under work as it stands at the moment. Still a lot of work to do.

**ZeinEizoku**

Thats a nice good bit of troops and they look nice ^_^

**Vitruvian XVII**

Looking like a nice army, well done, good work!

**Tauzor**

Postgirl ( lumpy jumpers fantastic ) dropped of a new box of goodies today

The plan is to make a modded double crew terminator car , one driver and one crew member
as I am well bored of painting yellow and fancy a little deveation.

**Miss Dee**

ohnoes !

**Miss Dee**

My guy got the wealding torch out and the postie laughed but we got the door open.

**person person**

Good luck on your termi-mobile.

**grey_death**

I've always wanted to do Imp Fists. I love the yellow, it's just so audacious a color for armor ^_^. I guess that's why I play The Sons of Medusa now!

A few minor things for the future:

I agree with a few others in suggesting an alternate color to your parchments. Red seal with a paper colored parchment can still tie them into your scheme.

There are some pretty glaring mold lines that are hard to overlook. I'd definitely think about at least scraping the mold likes from the helmets, some of them have near iron halos ^_-. But for a table force it really doesn't matter too much! Just something to keep in mind for characters and the future! Doesn't take too long if you only hit the big ones, and really pays dividends in look.

A few coverage issue spots ( around joints etc. ) show their head when close ups are taken as well, but again, table top, they're just fine ^_-.

All in all a great looking table top army. Add in a few facebreaking characters with some of the additional attention above for a focal point and you're golden!

**Tauzor**

Indeed GreyDeath, but you known the score allways 1/2 sodding mold line you miss that you dont pick up till you see it in pic ! ( dammit ) - been rescored and touched up since

yea the parchments are allready changed mate , still a wip and your right about the few spots here and there.
( I do get to them all

)

Thanks for the comments and support it is welcome and appricated !

That's kind of what is happening to me. It arrived in the post safely but there is magic ward around it known as 'gift wrap' that will only be penetrable on Christmas Day. Strange, huh?

**Miss Dee**

She also forgot the sign for pad.

**Tauzor**

Its been a slow few weeks, not much time for work on the army.
I have been collecting old models of the 'net to get some chars for the army , one of which I include below.

I want to 'mod him up somehow but I am at a loss for ideas!

The termie' scout car is coming along and I will have photos up soom about it

**gretar**

Extra purity seals , flag on the bakcback , maybe GS a neclace or something similar are all my suggestions ?

And what do you mean when saying Termie Car ? I can imagane that happening :

HOLY GAK HIT THE BRAKES !!
- I AM HITTING THE BRAKES , MY LEG JUST HITS THE GAS TO !!
OK THEN TRY TO TURN!
I BROKE THE STEERING WHEEL OFF !!

See what i mean by that

?

**Tauzor**

Thanks, yea I suppose some simple things might work better,
ah the termie car, read up ( previous posts ) and you will find what I am on about.

( sneak preview )

**Vitruvian XVII**

Dude, thats strange!!

**Tauzor**

Been a while, work and life keeping me busy.
Had a bit of time today to work o this

**person person**

Lookin good.

**oggers**

Quite wierd but good notheless.

**Tauzor**

Still plugging along
A box of chapter masters arrived yesterday

These will be at a higher quality than the quick nasty Sm's I had to knock out for the tourny ( I will be revisiting those to touch up )

**Tim the Biovore**

Don't you just love the Chapter Masters?

**Tauzor**

**Tauzor**

Ugg something going funny with the pictures today, basecoated and first layer of face done

**burb1996**

Great stuff there Tauzor. I tried IF awhile back and gave up after just a few squads. Major kudos to you for sticking with "the hardest color to use. period.". One thing that might help a bit from what I have seen with all of your stuff. I am not a big fan of drybrushing because it leaves a grainy texture on the model. Try putting a bit of flux into the paint before you drybrush. It improves the flow of the paint. This has really helped me when I drybrush.

But keep at it! I would LOVE to see that finished "VW termiwagon".
