Frost Knight Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 i was thinking the servo skull power because its like a force power but it embodies the iron hands feel of the metal things.... if that makes any cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 @the jimster Yeah, just painted :) . @Frost Knight Servo skull could be on the base, shoulder or maybe on the backpack. But it could make the model too busy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Double postage :devil: . I had a termie lying on my painting area, and wondering how should I paint (possible) terminator squad. I'm pretty happy how it turned out. Libbie updates next, just wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icallitsoda Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Very nice. Is it just me, or could they use a lil lovin from some dullcote? I'm kinda biased cause i love the stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Been a while since i last saw your IH in action, and boy, nice to see you have yet to disappoint! The Lib is turning out great :D. Plus i liked the Photoshop 'trickery' of what you plan to do. Looks very impressive. Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disistablishmentarianism Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I like the painting, but imho the blue on the guns look very harsh and drew my eye when I was trying to look at alot of the detail. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 @Weiss & TAS Thankies :P . @icallitsoda Thanks to you too, only my librarian has matt varnish (samething with dullcoat?) and it got little glossy, 'cause of little mistake while varnishing it. @Disistablishmentarianism Yep, I'm pretty much disappointed too at it, as painting white is getting reeally frustating. Maybe I'll do little bit of testing with the new washes I just got (I just got to mention them everywhere :) ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Another update from me! No librarian still (I'm lazy bum). Fun project: Iron Daddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-relk Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 the techmarine looks great as an iron father, but its a shame you dont have the iron father model gw released a couple of years ago. i had mine from my old ih army, so i revived him. if your putting the servo harness on him then i suggest that you pin the arms on, but ot glue them, or magnetize the servo harness itself. ive bent mine a couple of times in transport. the termie cam out great too, but i agree that the weapons are looking far too blue. i feel your pain having to paint white weapons tho, its a royal pain in the arse! looking forward to more updates (whixh reminds me that i have to update my thread) *starts taking pictures of new minies* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Thanks g-relk. The iron father model is delicious indeed, choppy wise :) , I was planning to combine parts from him and generic chaplain models to make "different" like iron father, but what I have heard that GW discontinued the model. Maybe I'll find it in the future. I'm not so worried about his transposation as he has never broken when I've moving him from field to another. Well, I've dropped him to ground couple of times, but that doesn't count! :) The Iron Daddy continues: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Nugz Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 On the subject of dark floors and not finding bits; that is why I have a matted down (it is like normal carpet now) puke green shag carpet. It is hard and flat (don't ask) so I can look down and find any bits I lost. Also where are the techmarine and terminators bionic!?!? Iron Heretic! (I struggled on that one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-relk Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 yeah, the iron father model is discontinued, thats y i had to rescure my old one. i think rajden boughtt one off a friend or e-bay maybe. just have a look around, it shouldnt be to hard to find one and rescue it with the help of some nail polish remover. the axe in the IF turned out awesome, the blue-ish-ness of it really works. also, you should have another crack at making some bionics. get some bell wire from an electronics store and use that with old guitar strings. quick and dirty guide for leg segments: 1) cut off the upper portion of the leg, and pin the other half to the groin bit, making sure that the foot sits well on the ground. (its easier if you use the legs that dont have the knee pads, less GS work that way, and it looks a bit better) 2) fill the gap by gluing in bits of bell wire (which has been half stripped) and guitar strings to bulck it out and make it about the same thickness as a normal leg 3) tidy up the hip by making a bolt style joint. to do that: 1) roll up a very small ball of GS. 2) squash it onto the top of the leg so that it is wide enough to cover the width of the leg. 3) smooth up the sides with some GS 4) put a line through the middle like on the end of a screw. 5) DONE! the whole thing shouldnt take more than half an hour, and turns up great (see my librarian leg for a finished example here http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-r...er/DSCF0108.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 @Trajan Thanks mate B) . @Shadow Nugz Good idea, eased my life quite a bit, thanks ;) . <start excuses> Termie was just a test for termie paint scheme, maybe in the future, when I'll do the termie squad, there will be bionics. And about the iron daddy: he's big chunk of metal, and my last jeweler's sawblade broke about 2-3 months ago, and I didn't want to demolish the model with a metal saw. <excuses stop> I suck badly. ;) @g-relk Maybe if I'm really lucky, I can find the model from an independent store, where I mostly buy my stuff. Thanks for tutorial :D. Ok, more progress. Metals are mostly done, black highlighting to the flamer, plasma cutter and right hand are in the to do-list. And removal of flashes, which miracously grew back :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I love the Iron hands, your way of painting them is the best i have seen and the conversions are pleasing too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disistablishmentarianism Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I like how the IF turned out, the blue on the axe was pretty bright but amazingly it did not distract me so much this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikkala Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Took me long enough to update this. :P @plaugedpanda Recipe for blue: VMC Sky Blue and Skull White, that's it :lol: . You start with Sky Blue basecoat, and start adding more and more white to blue, until you have pure white on the top, simple, I think so :P . Base to go. He is startin' to look very imposing, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Angelus Sanctus Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The Iron Father Looks great Kik :). Mini really has the subdued, menacing look about it, which is quite handy. Keep up the great work as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loketh Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Great job on the black armor! It contrasts nicely with the blue power weapons and armor details. I think you should drill the barrels on the termie's gun or at least paint the barrels black, because that was the thing that stood out to me the most when I looked at it. Keep it up!

Snackes Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The Techmarine is the coolest model ever! And you do it justice. It would be nice with some sharper highlights on the black to blend better with the axe. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
