tyrannosaurus Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Love it, great work. Have to say [and completely not your fault] but the Red Butchers look like they're doing the 'Thriller' dance. FW went a little over the top with their posin imo.

LongGone Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 See, it's armies like this that make me want to choose the World Eaters once I finally dip my toes in the Heresy pool. Great stuff man!

poom Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks guys! Yesterday I started cleaning up this beauty: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Fireraptor102.jpg Can't wait to put it together, sadly I first will have to get rid of some extra thick mold release agent: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Fireraptor106.jpg This is after washing it three times with a toothbrush and soap water Anybody got some tips how to remove that? It is still sticky and I fear the color will not hold on it... I heared nail polish remover will do the trick, but I am not sure if this will damage the resin.

Daemon2027 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I think you will be ok with nail polish remover but be careful with smaller parts, they may go soft with to much contact to the stuff.

The_Chaplain Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 If you go the nail polish remover route, make sure it is acetone free remover. Otherwise it'll damage the resin.

Kizzdougs Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Great Army shot poom! I'd try a really fine grade sandpaper to remove the release agent. A knife blade can also be used to remove the agent from hard to reach areas.

Chaeron Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Did you post a tutorial for your models btw Poom? Couldn't see one but would be very interested in hearing how you achieved the white. Mine always comes out darker! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288089-but-blood-blood-is-forever/page/9/#findComment-3765472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I would suggest that you call FW customer service and explain the problem. It is more likely that the resin isn't properly cured and will continue to "weep" forever. FW will send replacement parts to you and you won't have to worry about the paint constantly falling off the model.

poom Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 If you go the nail polish remover route, make sure it is acetone free remover. Otherwise it'll damage the resin. Looking forward to seein this raptor! But will it be strong enough without aceton? I just tryed out everything I had in the house, Cillit Bang a very agressiv cleaner for the kitchen and also cleaning gasoline (not sure if that is the correct translation) both potent in removing fat.. both faild. Great Army shot poom! I'd try a really fine grade sandpaper to remove the release agent. A knife blade can also be used to remove the agent from hard to reach areas. To be honest I had to smile a bit when I first red your comment, but now after everything I tryed faild, I am realy considering your suggestion.. but removing it from the gaps and rivets will be very challenging. Did you post a tutorial for your models btw Poom? Couldn't see one but would be very interested in hearing how you achieved the white. Mine always comes out darker! I didn't do a tutorial with pictures and stuff, just wrote this: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288089-but-blood-blood-is-forever/?p=3637095 Hope it helps.

FW will send replacement parts to you and you won't have to worry about the paint constantly falling off the model. I wrote them a email yesterday. But I did not ask for a replacement, just wanted to know if they could give me some suggestions how to get rid of the release agent. That stuff is realy tenacious, maybe you are right and it is some sort of misscast? ___________________ With out these two parts I can not realy start building, so for now I just did some little stuff: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Fireraptor110.jpg I removed the eagles on the plastic parts http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Fireraptor108.jpg I build the pilot.. used some mk2 and mk4 parts so he fits better in the HH setting. http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Fireraptor107.jpg As I want to glue the gunner balls shut, it would be a waste to loose those cool mk4 helets with optics. So I cruedly cut them off and put them in my bitsbox Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288089-but-blood-blood-is-forever/page/9/#findComment-3766005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I would definitely call FW if they don't reply to your email. Their customer service is top notch and they'll solve your problem. I've worked with lots of FW kits and never had the problem you have there. I have some experience in mold making and casting and I have had a similar issue that you are experiencing. I would bet anything that it's a problem with the resin itself, that's not release agent. On another note, those MK IV heads are amazing. I collect and cast every HH variant I can get and I'd kill to have that helmet. I'm sure that you will find a great use for them. If you do want to trade one out drop me a pm and we'll talk.

poom Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hey guys, well it has been a while..here is a little update. Sadly not much World Eater stuff, the only thing I did there was to finish building the Fireraptor and started the base. http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Fireraptor111.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Fireraptor112.jpg I called FW and they replaced the side parts. It took some time to arrive, as they casted it extra for me, but thats ok.. I am happy it is finnaly build Most of my hobby time I spent building Mechanicum models. I want to build the dark mechanicum clan from Redjak. They were liberated by the World Eaters and Legio Audax on Sarum during the golgothan slaughter and since then supplied and supported them for the great crusade and the coming Horus Heresy. All of this is more or less done: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Tech_Thrall_1_09.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Tech_Thrall_1_10.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Tech_Thrall_1_11.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Tech_Thrall_1_12.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Castellax01_01.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Myrmidax01_01.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Tantanar01_01.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Thallax01_03-1.jpg This week I want to start painting _______________________________ And in other news I am one of the very lucky people that gets a miniature reinterprated as an artwork done by Mr. Greyall! Yay!

Stoneheart Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Simply amazing, well done for a spot on representation of the World Eaters! I'd say more but I think I'd just be repeating what others have said :) Can't wait to see the finished Warhound in its entirety. Would you mind explaining how you got the grid effect on its armour? I've seen that effect before and would love to have a go at it myself.

Tyrannicide Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Some very tasteful alterations. The one with the banner node thing is legit.

Reyner Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 These look really good - my Fire Raptor hull is exactly the same too and I have washed it loads but the residue just returns a few hours later! I might have to give them a ring. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288089-but-blood-blood-is-forever/page/9/#findComment-3852927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
poom Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks guys! Some great little touches on those thralls! Will we get to see your interpretation of Vel Kheredar at some point? Pretty please? Maybe some day..I was thinking about it, but have not jet found the right bits to make his spider-legs.. Simply amazing, well done for a spot on representation of the World Eaters! I'd say more but I think I'd just be repeating what others have said Can't wait to see the finished Warhound in its entirety. Would you mind explaining how you got the grid effect on its armour? I've seen that effect before and would love to have a go at it myself. Keep it up! I used this stencil from anarchy models: http://www.anarchymodels.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_new.tpl&product_id=176&category_id=27&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1 I just put the stencil on the black primed part and sprayed mephiston red from a can on top. ______________________________ I started painting today: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Tech_Thrall_1_17.jpg The metals will get much brighter, but you get an idea where this is heading. Even if the Redjak Cult and the Crimson Brotherhood both have red in their names I will fokus more on black, silver and copper. I realy want them to look dark and evil. As for the bases I am still very undecided, for one part it would be great to have the same desert theme like the World Eaters, so that they look great togeather on some larger games. But on the oder hand I can imagine them very well on some Sarum themed bases, that would look like this test pieces I did earlyer: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Base01.jpg Any thouts on that matter? Oh and by the way, not sure if somebody noticed, but I could not resist to make a little Terminator reference on the Thralls: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Tech_Thrall_1_08.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXk7TuxrDBI Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288089-but-blood-blood-is-forever/page/9/#findComment-3853091 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the vestigial arms from the Talos kit Cerebralerebus used on this - excellent - model? That's possibly the closest any model has ever come to capturing how I imagine Vel Kheredar (who, if you ask me, steals every scene he's in during Betrayer).

Battybattybats Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 What did you use in that base experiment?That's very fine-sand realistic looking effect and i'm looking for something to give me that martian sand look for a special project for my House Cydonia Mechanicum Knights force.
