Anyway, I love the scheme for your Tau and your Cryx look awesome! Good work]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/852007.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/852007.page GMT Re:LucasLAD's painting table (Tau, Cryx)

Side shot of the shoulder guard. It's a little more time consuming than slapping one color on and going, but I like it. I also put a gloss on the tau emblem, I like that it pops out. Once I varnish them I'll go back and reapply the gloss

Just a gun drone, nothing all too special here. Main point is that I didnt want those divits stuck in his head because I didnt use the anntenna so I filled them in with a little color. Not sure if I like it

These are just some assorted bases I have prepped for casting for my crisis suits and broadsides. I already have a mold of infantry bases made

I'm assuming those modeled bases you have there are for Crisis Suits, so lets start seeing some roll off the assembly line!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/860574.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/860574.page GMT LucasLAD's painting table (Tau, Cryx) *Updated 7-24-09*
The drybrush on the guns and black cloth looked way harsher, I toned it down with a black wash.

I'm thinking about glossing the armor plates and keeping the cloth black. That would definatly make the model have a lot of texture without adding complicated paterns.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/860686.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/860686.page GMT Re:LucasLAD's painting table (Tau, Cryx) *Updated 7-24-09*
Please ignore the crappy AFP conversion, my buddy is getting me an actual one. The paint on him right now is a lightly coated primer for showing me inperfections. I have a LOT of work left and this is probably the most complex conversion I've done to date (even with a guide!) I need to probably remove a couple of pieces and go to town with some filler and 1000 grit sandpaper. Oh..the joy

Anyway enjoy, any comments are welcome

Anyway a quick recap:

Me: "I shouldn't be cutting like this"
Wife: "Then stop before you hurt yourself"
*Knife slips*
*Dash to kitchen to avoid bleeding copious amounts on our carpet*
Me: "It doesn't look too bad, it just really hurts"
*RN wife comes to the sink and looks at it, then proceeds to pull flapping skin back*
Wife: "That's pretty bad"
Me: "Oh...

"

Looked a lot worse then than it does now two days later:

I got in my Kotobukya MSG packs yesterday, for those that don't know these are detail enhancing kits for gundam/Macross/Armored Core models. In a nut shell they can bulk out or fill in a particular bare spot without having to dig through your bitz boxes trying to find that one little piece.

Here are my two broadsides, please keep in mind I'm working off of someone elses initial build of these things so I'm basically having to break everything and rebuild it.

First up is a Shas. He has the Eva-00 head, unfortunately I was in a rush to construct my mould and did a really bad job on it so it'll be getting remoulded and recast to make a better image.

Here is just a regular suit with minor mods, he has a regular head but (new cast pending) will be getting changed.

I think the shield on the gun is a little much.

Here are two Valkyries I'm working on for a friend.

Here's a WIP of the current one, no weathering, no TL Lascannons, etc....

And here is a completed one, the only thing missing is a little color and weathering on the lascannons.

Very nice work. I'm jealous of your painting skills, your converting skills, and the scar you're now going to impress all the chicks with.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/869281.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/869281.page GMT LucasLAD's painting table (Tau, Valkyrie!) *Updated 7-28-09*

It's only got like 1/2 a lbs of lead fishing weights counter balencing it

and thank you]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/869294.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/869294.page GMT Re:LucasLAD's painting table (Tau, Valkyrie!) *Updated 7-28-09* .

Now, finish the bonded Shas'O! I want to see him!

Also working on my broadsides still, I didnt really care for the guy posted above with the one handed railgun shot.

At this point I am done with my Shas'O, only for now. I have around 1700 more points to paint in the next two weeks or I will have to sit out of our next tourney and I put at least 2 hours into paint and decaling without doing any highlights. He'll eventually be my center piece

sorry about the pic quality

Two more broadsides positioned and ready for paint. These are pretty much a copy of a design I found on CMON, I am running low on time so I didn't do anything original.

comments and critique always appreciated!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/885199.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248933/885199.page GMT
