Just had a good 10 minute browse with a sandwich.... HOLY CRAP! Just when I think I'm up there with the 'big dogs' of painting on this forum, you come back with mind-blowing stuff to slap me back down! Thanks for the updates of win, and keeping my ego in check  |

thanks for saying effect, but i doubt i can do what you do with orks... just wont get my head round painting green skin... anyway..!!! how long has it been? well... too long since my last update... things have been slowing down a bit recently because of work and the fact that i actually play with my army now...so less time for modelling that before... so... sadly no update on the AC130 , i was denyed being able to use it in a recent game of appocylpse so i didnt finish it... but i have been working on other things... first up... on another thread i put some quick pics up of my airfix land rover wmik, well this morning i decided to finish weathering the thing and get some pics... still though, its missing the missle launcher guy on the back...  when i finish the guy il put up a seperate pic of him .. hes a catchan missle launcher dude with a head swap for a plastic cadian. next up is one of my two armageddon opatterned medusas , but as they are heavely converted, im gonna call them EDF patterned SPG.     the other one is still in its basic form, and awaiting tlc... also just wanna add that this kit from forgeworld is possibly the worse fitting kit ive ever seen... i scolded myself with boiling hot water trying to get this kit to fit together, and the shelid needed cutting away to make the barrel poke out from the hull, otherwise it simply was too big to come out... both cost me £120 from FW and i honestly reget it as i think i could have made a better scratchbuilt model myself. next up are two WIP's second salamander, this time with a turret rather than the open style i showed before. this was a M8 greyhound scout car 1/35 scale by italeri.   next up is an odd thing that im turning into a crassus armoured transport style troop carrier.. i got a very cheap german army jaguar tank destroyer (1/35 scale) off ebay and it was a little larger than i thought the real thing was... its odd shape made it easy to determine that it could easily be made to look like a kind of amphipious transport... i will be putting up home made rules for this thing once its finished.   i will be adding some autocannon mounts to the top of the cargohold so the troops can fire them from the large hatches at the top... or i might add the large optics that is meant to be mounted on the nose. anyway... hope you enjoy... tommorrow i should be able to put up the pics of my banesword i used in the recent appoc game... as its finished! |

Looks really good ashot! The jeep is a brilliant conversion.
Quick question: about how big is your army? Any chance we can get a group shot of everything you have?

Except this guy isn't bayonetting POW's, shooting at unoccupied hangars, or crying in the middle of firefights. |

hey guys... well heres some of the stuff ive been working on over the last few months... not alot to be honest, as i have lots of stuff half finished .... but heres todays things... amphibious assault transport (based on crassius stats)   enjoyed painting this, was a nice change to paint green rather than the usual desert stuff... reason is that it would be better suited to be darker for blending into the water. not too sure if its obvious but the whole tank is covered with rain marks where the dust has dried to the running water when it has left the water... apart from that quite a fast paintjob on this... the final touch was airbrushing the dust to the bottom skirts and underside of the tank... really happy with how it turned out. next up is a thing i have been working on since the model came out... i brought the ork dakkajet the day it was released with the intention of turning it into a thunderbolt... well after much messing around, its now become a lightning.   im very happy with how it turned out... painted the whole thing in 5 hours or so on christmas day... mostly airbrush work except the camo which was hand painted... all rust streaks and grime was done with washes. im happy with the paintjob, but im not really feeling the model itself as an EDF plane.... to me it just does not fit with the rest of my stuff... i am considering selling it depending on how good the voss patterned lightnings are. lastly for tonight is my BANESWORD.     this model took me ages to model and paint... i acually finished it in november for an 30k appoc game i had at the local club, which won me the best painted army/ vehicle award ... the model istef done great, knocking out a stomper, a squad of geanestealers, and about 50 charging orks. i have at the moment wip- special reconassance artillery spotting tank. (needs weathering) 3 chimeras (1 needs minor paint work ) 2 need modelling still armoured salamander (needs weathering) devildog (basecoated) atlas / trojan (basecoated) and plenty of troops still to be done... i am still working hard on my army... sadly i also need to make time for my 2.5k necron army and the necromunda/borderlands project im still very much busy on. |

Uhhh so happy I bumped this. The Jet and the Banesword are my favorites of this update. If you do sell the jet I might be interested depending on the price.

I'd been considering converting a Dakkajet, now I've seen this I have to do it. Just need the money to buy one.

Really nice looking stuff, as always! The only critique I have to offer is that I'm not a fan of the painted canopy on the conversion of the Ork jet. However, I can understand that in this case, trying to convert up a human pilot and cockpit set up would have been a chore, so I can see having an opaque canopy to cover up the area from a modeling/painting standpoint. It's nicely done, but I'm just not a fan of painted canopies in general. |

I agree with you completely. .. I only did it out of laziness to be honest... I really should have modelled the pilot
