Ashdown Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 On the techmarine I still have yet to place the maltese cross on. I am still practicing my freehand before potentially mess up my model. I also glazed over the highpoints with some lighter tones to make it pop, I might do a few more though, I am still undecided. Working on the neophytes as well. Currently I have two just about ready for basecoating. I would have to say that the scout models are probably some of my favorite looking troops from GW. C&C always welcomed. Thanks for looking....

Dosjetka Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Looks good mate, looks good. I like your red, very well shaded :lol: Metallics look good too, though you may want to file the mould lines off next time before you paint a metal model. Looking forward to seeing the Neophytes done ;) Ludovic Edit: The Neophytes have cool poses. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215317-ashdowns-black-templars/#findComment-2565424 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its my first time working with a metal model and hopefully the last. I am not a big fan of how bad some of the details came out. I think the mold they are using may be over the hill.

Ashdown Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 the red on techmarine looks very good indeed, i hope the scouts are done as well as him. Thank you!! First three neophytes (scouts) base coated and the first bit of color added. Going to glaze a few more layers of light brown on the high points then maybe some dark green to give it a olive drab look. One is already getting a simple green wash, tried something new and didnt like how it came out.

Ashdown Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 So I am trying to expand my abilities by doing battle damage and give the model a degree of use, however, doing this to black is a pain in the arse. To me so far it is very challanging to give the model a degree of depth... any ways here is the land speeder I am practicing on which is only about 75% done. It looks shiney because I am still using some inks so the varnish is hasnt been dulled yet. P.S No weapons because I have it all magnetized.

GooseDaMoose Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I gotta say the black looks awesome, it's really well done. There's plenty of depth in there abd it looks used. The techmarine is also the bombdiggity, the red looks really good. Keep up the great work!

Dosjetka Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Nice one Brother! :unsure: I really like your Novices and you LS is looking good. I can see some nice detail painting on the inside of the Speeder, could I get some close-ups please? :) Ludovic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215317-ashdowns-black-templars/#findComment-2574951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashdown Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 Nice one Brother! I really like your Novices and you LS is looking good. I can see some nice detail painting on the inside of the Speeder, could I get some close-ups please? Ludovic Thanks for all the awesome support!!! I will get some more close-ups once I get it finished up. Lately I have been bad about finishing a peice without getting distracted. My most recent distraction was some Grey Knights that were on sale at my LGS. I decided to magnetize one to see how hard it would be which turned out to be just a little more effort than a normal plastic model. Overall I really like the looks of the models I wanted to keep my options open just in case I decided to build an army latter on. http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/9273/1030065.jpg http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/8292/1030066.jpg Pose One http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/8079/1030067.jpg Pose Two http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/313/1030068.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215317-ashdowns-black-templars/#findComment-2580069 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GooseDaMoose Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 If you're asking, I think pose one is the best :P can't wait to see him painted! Are you gonna do him metallic or actually grey?

Ashdown Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Are you gonna do him metallic or actually grey? I am going to do metallics, though I am still figuring out colors etc... I am messing with some model masters (from testors) metallics for the airbrush which I really like. Just trying to find some decent looking battle damage on a model painting in metallics as a reference before I devote myself to them. I was thinking about basing them in a rust color, coating with a layer of hairspray, basing again with a black metallic. Then wetwashing the black metallic in key areas and go from there for battle damage. Need to test it out though on some other models I have laying around to see how well it comes out. Thanks for the props!! Ash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215317-ashdowns-black-templars/#findComment-2580877 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashdown Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Working on finishing up my two preds. Both are all magnetized and I am almost done with the base coat highlights. I am debating if I want to wrap the entire front of the preds with white to break up all the black. ~Ash http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z473/bkcw/103_0102.jpg?t=1291655854 http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z473/bkcw/103_0104.jpg http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z473/bkcw/103_0105.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215317-ashdowns-black-templars/#findComment-2582096 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natanael Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Looks good, tough the white on the side of the pred I think would look better if there was another "stripe" at the back of that side as well.

Marshal Rohr Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Excellent! I love the white portion. I am considering doing something similar. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215317-ashdowns-black-templars/#findComment-2583144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 You may want to "break" the white part with a black or red streak. Would look better IMO.

I went with this instead and I will add some nice BT icons. I think I may do the same for the rear portion of the pred. Thanks for all the comments!!!!
