WIP: Warhound Titan scratchbuild Part Six

Hi guys,

The beast is ready to be painted. I've decided to go with Legio Ignatum (Fire Wasps) for the paint scheme, a true Ad mech Legio in hopes to collaborating them with sweet Skitarii army one day.

Here are the images:

Sorry for a lot of noize, big black model, tried to bring more details.

WIP: Warhound Titan scratchbuild Part Five

Hi guys,

More progress on the Beast. Legs and torso almost finished, as well as cockpit. Torso and legs are magnetized, and I will magnetize cockpit too. Model is just too big to transport it as a whole.

WIP: Warhound Titan scratchbuild Part Four

Hi guys,

Sorry for the blurry photo. 

The Beast lower part is done, apart from adding small details. Still need to find the source of tons of aquilas to add to. If I fail, I guess I will need to use decals instead.

Main Hull Center is done, as well as one shoulder. Working on another shoulder.

I will add details then to cockpit and the only thing that I will need to take care of will be weapons, and painting this monster. 

Also that the 50th post. :)

Guys, stop missing the updates!

WIP: Warhound Titan scratchbuild Part Two

Hi guys and gals,

As I've got all big parts glued together, I can now focus on detailing and assembling the Beast. I've started with the leg. Got plates and rivets glued on leg parts, partial assembly done. Assembled the foot. Lower joint with shin armour is put without glue, just to see how it works together. Middle and upper joints received their part of rivets. Details 80% done on the whole leg, pistons to add, and aquilas/skulls will be added later.

Will need some tidying up here and there, more details probably.

WIP: Warhound Titan scratchbuild Part One

Decided to do a little break with infinity and build my own warhound titan.
Currently all the big parts are made. I will soon follow it up with partial assembly and detail work.
Nothing fancy at the moment as you can see:

Materials used: cardstock, foamboard and plasticard.

"Crisis" suits again.

They are giving me real crisis. At least I feel how do pain an alcoholick sergeant space marine, or a druggo dark eldar... but theeese...

take 3: ww2 russian uniform green as the main theme (yes i do play world of tanks at times, next on the silly idea plan - german grey)

45th Highlanders WIP part 2.

During last 10 days almost finished a team of 4 highlanders. Have to deal with faces, blades, boots and bases, and their done. Hope to finish in a couple of days. Sorry for the quality of the photos, took them with my fridge. Will post good quality pics as soon as the boys are finished.
regards,
George

Tau XV8 Crisis Suit mockery

Well, honestly i had higher expectations and hopes for it. But on the scale of craptasticeness of gluing process... crisis suit foot to leg joints come 3rd place on my list, right after any dark eldar  infantry model with 2 handed gun, and eldar wraithguard hand - palm joints.

My hands cant bear the base -> paint -> glue process with this model... so the next batch is going to be glued right off the bat, then based and painted... screw lost details.

Starting tau as a weaboo grimdark comunists vietcong style... Crisis suits were to be painted green.
But as my only green experience are a few shiny dark angels a year back, and i never painted any historicall / tank green model - this was my first time trying to imitate green colored metal piece of machinery.

Came out below average as i used too many washes and too little layers of paint to give distinctive colors.

So any friendly advice about painting green metal machinery is very welcome.


Stuff to do till next time:

- come up with lightning effects (undecided on plasma/melta color to use yet... )
- try different wash / layer options on the other 2 suits... choose the best suit as the commander :D
- finish the squad and get to work on some other unfinished models...

Options for other models are:
- squad of dire avengers to match the serpent form previous posts,
- dark eldar squad in light colors which is half done
- newly ebayed tau infantry.

Oh yeah more pictures of glue heresy below the cut...

WIP Wave Serpent

Hello fellow dojo goers, and lurking by-passers. This week was full of surprises and action. One of them was finally getting the brush in my hand, and kick starting painting again (more like butt kicking self into painting).

I did not manage to achieve much, and its still early work in progress. But taking into account that the model was primed white during the autumn of last year, its finally taking shape.

When i started my dark /light eldar force, i imagined painting them in skull bone, rust and bronze colors, never took vehicles into account. But time went by, I tried a few color schemes on them, and my current force is painted scarcely, in different styles and colors ranging from skull bone, to communist red and traditional blue and green.

Going from there my decision was, f.. it. Just finding a pleasing image of a finished wave serpent for reference and go from the colors there.

ps. feel free to punch me for the crap photos.


White primer (shit job there, quite a lot of paint right from the start)
