Oh no..not done at all, just getting a nice smooth finish for the markings will give it another coat or two before I'm done

Thanks Marty!

Is the paint textured? Or is it an illusion

heh..It was a case of fuzzy primer, rattlecan+hot day=doom.

If you take it inside immediately you'll be okay! I spray primed a squad of dudes today and it was close to 90 and humid as hell. I immediately brought them into my air conditioned room and they're nice and smooth. Same trick works for varnish when it fogs up.

dsteingass wrote:heh..It was a case of fuzzy primer, rattlecan+hot day=doom.

I kinda like it.

It's a bit too late for this one- I only prime with the airbrush now, more control, I built and primed this a couple of years ago. I have learned MUCH since then.

Here the transfers are all added, and more Rhinox Hide sponged on







And then, I sprayed it with Future again, and THIS is the effect I was hoping for on the paint chips

It does give some interesting effects, I must admit

..Tomorrow evening, we start oil paint weathering
Goodnight Dakka.

hah! now that is what i call teasing... you gonna start oilpaint weasthering now too... gosh... i really must learn some new tricks too^^ feel dumb already^^

as for the future... i guess this product is also in a different incarnation available everywhere too? the product in itself is not really rocket science i gather... the prizewinning thought behind it is the new use i think...

and yeah... the new weathering, the chips is looking very good... mind showing us what sponge you are using? just wanted to see the texture of your sponge for comparrision...

and i love the name icon... ork decal? clever idea to use their own iconography for advertising catachan armory^^

LOL! He is just showing off now Vik!

THanks Vik. It's just a piece of hacked up blister pack foam. And yeah, Future is Johnson's Klear in the UK, probably something similar in Germany. Yep the decal is just an Ork glyph for "Boyz" stuck over the Imperial "Reaper" decal

@Shas, if I am taking it to GD..yes

Wow! Its really coming together now! Great work!!!! Love it!

I saw old trees uprooted...a 25-30 year old birch tree bent so far over by 91MPH winds that it splintered and burst! it'll probably be monday at the earliest we'll get power back on, hopefully sooner. I havent heard of anyone getting serioisly hurt or killed though, although the local news sucks here. I have plenty to do, and a nice big window for light.


I am getting familiar hands-on rules learning

Dave! Sorry to hear about your troubles with the Storms! Hope everything's turning out better! Your work is as always amazing. And, I'm glad to see some Orkz Waagh Dakka dakka waagh up in here! They're my truly my favorite of the 40K universe.

On a side note have you taken your old green or white clear templates and laid them inside the new templates! The Spray and large blast templates are longer and larger respectively!! Unless this is a manufacturing mistake, then it will be a must to buy the new templates or at least make templates based off their length and circumference!

THanks Hmel- No, you just use the open area, no one needs to go out and buy/make new templates. It's only a decorative border.

I am thinking I may scratch out a baneblade for you to paint. Thoughts?

Yeah! If you are going to scratch it, Give it twin fuel tanks (like the FW models) rather than the quad fuel drums like the plastic kits! Or better Yet, scratch a Macharius instead!

Looking just pure awesomeness!

You are a painting god.

*bows*

Thanks Silver! - But I'm not doing anything supernatural here, just basicaly following the tut for the Cadian Stormsword in the FW Imperial Armour Masterclass book, but with reversed and slightly modified color selections. Anyone can do it, just one technique at a time.

One hell of a QFT, right there.

Just dig in and DO it. You'll be surprised at how much you improve, and it'll all flow into your 'tabletop standard' models as well, as it becomes 'rote'.

So when do we get this promised oil paint weathering? Also do you plan on gaking up the tracks with churned up soil???

Gah, brains officially on meltdown again...

I'm an example of that. I've improved vastly since I first started sharing my work on Dakka.

To keep that progress going I've decided to get an airbrush this fall once I save up enough $$$ to get a quality setup. While it is sometimes true that a bad workman blames his tools, there's a point of truth there- bad tools get bad results. If I spend the $$$ on a decent set and my results suck I'll know it's 100% me and work on improving.

i think its mechandrite UC

Bama you sir are a life saver!!!
