that is weird on so many levels...but i am bowing humbly before this deed and his painter... what an effort...!

**lone dirty dog**

Amazing

**Develain**

Thx.

Made a comparison shot:

**Commander Cain**

That is some excellent freehanding I have got to say!

**lone dirty dog**

Well that puts it into perspective

**Develain**

Finished the crates with supplies:

Command Chimera almost finished:

Pretty happy with how the dozer-blade turned out:

Finishing the 4th Chimera as well + Leman Russ is getting more details. More on that later!

I would say yes if I am not mistaken they are L beams with the ends cut at angles and to pieces of plastic rod in between each section

Saves me time to explain it, this is exactly how it works lol.

Picture of it:

Hope this explains it

**Develain**

Leman Russ W.I.P.

Now that the tracks are on, it's starting to look like the real deal!

**Desubot**

Oh snap this is going to be good.

**Develain**

4th Chimera:

And a group shot:

**Losteriksson**

Wow those are fantastic! Well done great work. I really like the colour scheme to.

**SirRamirez**

Man, how can someone only build and paint so good?!?! I'm so jealous :-) Great work, I like it a lot!!

**Bellzo**

Those are awesome looking! great work

**Commander Cain**

Beautiful! All four together look amazing.

**Lord Dreden**

Awesome scratch built tanks. I am not a fan of the out of box chimera so I really appreciate yours. Great work.

**Viktor von Domm**

man... how i love that creamy look...

if you ever feel like... than a step by step to get that creamy look would be greatly apreciated!!!

**Commander Cain**

Yeah what Vik said! One for the clone trooper white as well while you are at it, I need it for my Dreamforge Stormtroopers!

**Viktor von Domm**

ohoh... don´t mention the clone troopers... i am still trying not to show these to my sons... if they see these they will press gang or balckmail me to make them such an army too^^...

**iheartlargeblasttemplates**

Wow those tanks are so awesome!

**Develain**

Haha! About the white. It's actually on both the Clones and these tanks the same colour

It it the shading that makes them stand apart.

I will make a tutorial when I start painting a Leman Russ

**Viktor von Domm**

splendid!!!

**Zephyr0th**

Registered just to say. .

Amazing

Keep up the good work!

Seeing your work has seriously tempted me try to scratch build some tanky goodness.

**JohnnyHell**

Me too... a buttload of cheap styrene rods just arrived from China/eBay so I've the makings of all kinds of goodness... this thread is inspiring!

**Develain**

Thanks guys!

Awesome to hear that this log is an inspiration for you.

Update time. Got a little lazy and started making pictures with my phone. Can't get the red how I want them to look like they do in real life, but I guess I'm not the only one who has that problem..

onto the pictures of last months work:

**OneManNoodles**

Awesome stuff, nice work on the eyes btw. I was wondering when we'd all get to see some more infantry

What are you aiming for with your red? It looks ok to me, a bit bright and orange maybe but that looks to be your painting style,
maybe try an under tone wash of purple or brown on a test piece, just to dull it down and increase the contrast.

**kestral**

I like your painting style - it is very distinctive and unique. Do you use washes at all, or is it all line painted? And your ability with plasticard is awesome!

**Two Spartan**

Awesome work man!

The sniper is my favourite =)

**masterdoobie**

How bad were you two years ago? Cause these are great. Have you by any chance spent the last two years training at warhammer in a hyperbolic time chamber? (figured you may get the reference cause of your pic)

When I have more time I will have to scrounge through your posts to see if you have done any tutorials, cause I'm sure you have a lot you can teach on both the painting and modelling fronts.
