And with good reason... excellent work.

Thanks amigo. Meant to post this too
going to be weird adding grass after painting. Against my nature!

Great work on that YT-1300! I had no idea it was that beefy until you did the pic of it in your hand! as big as a snack!

Thing looks great! nice dirtying cool color code scheme, an Ion engine bank, just good overall,

Cracking conversion and paintwork!

Man that ship is nice..

Man, those palm tree leaves are ancient. 3rd edition box, no?

Very cool. The central cockpit conversion looks awesome.

The Phamtom you posted looks awesome, great effect. I totally agree that your second you should reverse and have it de-cloaking. My only minor criticism is the effect looks too controlled with it being a straight line, maybe try it a more of an angle?

Yeah, and actually it's small compared to the Ghost which is an absolute beast. The 2400 is a bit more compact.

Cheers. Might brave my way over to the fine painters society at some point...

It was a lot of fun to do. Thanks buddy.

Yup. I had some and then got more from Vik, and they are just peachy for this.

The cockpit was easy, actually, it was getting the surfaces on the gap that was a killer. Used brass etch frame in the end along with styrene. Cheers for the comments!
That's a good idea about the phantom, I might have it almost entirely black with some crackling at the tips of the foils?

So alas I have not had a productive week, though with good reason: I have a new niece! Which is rather lovely. Small, squeaky, and very lovely.
All I have managed is a bit of progress on my objectives -

Although somehow I have misplaced a sewer grate somewhere. Bugger.

Also, the inevitable diminishing of time with being back at work. Had to do an exam board day yesterday too so just wrecked. It's hard to avoid the no-geek-time blues.
Anyway. Enough self-indulgence. Priority is finishing the tweaks to my current batch of Imperials, shouldn't take long. We shall see

That not do anything for you? Fine have a bloody great spaceship then:

Happy now?

Cool repaints and objective markers

Everything's looking really good Graven. The final ship you've posted is a beautiful re-paint. What is it again?

Sweet work on the objective markers!

Thanks mate, lord knows there's lots more to follow!

It's a Gozanti carrier. Brilliant, chunky badness

Thank ye kindly!

And a bit more work on the Gozanti (glow-zanti?):

Excellent objectives! The Gozanti is coming along nicely as well!

Had to fill a mould like inside the engine!

And ended up working on objectives

Detail on the titan canisters

And those lovely reaper dumpsters

Looking interesting.

And good work on the markers and bins.

Love that green on the dumpsters! What ink/wash/glaze did you use?

Interesting... good Objectives were fun to do. I have a nice wooden crate that needs done for the board too

TerrainWalker wrote:Love that green on the dumpsters! What ink/wash/glaze did you use?

Cheers! It's Vallejo Sick Green (my go-to), very opaque, ideal for a strong base (it's proper Ork skintone), then washes of Camoshade and Greenshade, a very light patchy drybrush of Ryza Rust and highlighted with Kreig Camo.

There will be tiny spess-sheeps later on once I do some pics: tidied up the first lot of the imperial fleet and added some more distinctive markings to a couple of my basic TIEs, just make them stand out.

Ironically our trash dumpsters here in my town are also green.. Must be a thing. Aces Mate!

Interesting is always good in my book. I'm trained as a scientist after all.

Cheers! Yeah, I think it just is a thing, I always think of them as being green!

Lord, I'm married to one of them Okeydoke

Quick pic of the imperials so far, on my kitchen counter

And some glowy butts...


And a couple of Veteran TIE details :

Red on the back left one is a variation on the classic red stripe. The middle one (disregard the back right, that's simply a first order repaint) has the start of battle damage and an Imperial insignia. This is the TIE that baby snapped, so I decided to make it a survivor that was allowed to wear its scars with pride some exposed copper to follow.

And a test - the horizontal lighting cloak effect



Speaking of light...

Cheers gang!

Looking great bud. Loving the objectives and the bins from earlier. Ties are looking great. But really like those lamp posts. Really nice subtle OSL, good work. Maybe just a hint of light playing down the front of the post, just to top it off! Just a thought.

Great idea on the Phantom, I don't think I've seen top-down cloaking before! Will you repeat that on all 3 'wings'?

Thanks mate. I think it's crap photo syndrome, as there is osl down them already. I also have a broken one, might use it as a base for a super when i get my marvel toys.

Paradigm wrote:Great idea on the Phantom, I don't think I've seen top-down cloaking before! Will you repeat that on all 3 'wings'?

Yup
And speaking of which, now with glaze


So more lightning and some thin layers of asurmen, guilleman and whatever the edge blue is. Pretty happy, I think. Thoughts?

Pretty sharp on that small of a model.

I could use one of those as the end of the barrel for my siccaran venator. (nice work!)

The blue doesn't come out much until you zoom in a bit. I like the effect, though.

Thanks all.

So, sucky week. Grandfather died. Sharp as a tack, he knew what was going on: docs Tuesday, gave away all his clothes Wednesday, found dead Thursday morning. Classy old bastard to the end.

Still, worked a bit on converting the bomber to tie shuttle:


And with some help from a broken tie advanced:

On we go...

Sincere condolences from over here mate. Always a hard time :/

That rough mate, my condolences to you and your family.

Sorry to hear about your grandfather's death, but his life seems to have been good right up to the end, so I am glad for him. I am sure your family is missing such a man, my condolences.
