Tigris Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Very good. One question - why is one of his legs gold?? Because Grimdour The Incinerator told me to paint it that way!

Tigris Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Thanks, I need to touch up a few places that have come to light in the photos, and correct the gold foot and gold helmet crest (should be maroon and silver respectively).

ImperialTemplari Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hi guys, well finally finished, the last bit of weathering was the easiest and quickest but took a long time to get around to, is there anything else you can see to improve it? what do you think?

Honda Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 So I made some pretty good progress this morning, though as I was relating to Hubernator, his green was killing me. I think I came close and I finally had a chance to use that pot of old Vile Green that GW retired (I really liked that color). Anyway, here's a bunch of pics, such as they are http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/DIY/DeathRainRun43007.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/DIY/DeathRainRun43008.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/DIY/DeathRainRun43009.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/DIY/DeathRainRun43011.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/DIY/DeathRainRun43013.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/DIY/DeathRainRun43015.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/DIY/DeathRainRun43016.jpg I still need to put the chapter symbol on the left pad, might do a little more detailing, I'll have to see. I'm not convinced that I pulled the eyes off, they were are supposed to be glowing a bit. Other things: 1. Did I say the green was a pain B) I started with a black base, then started with foundation Ork Hide. Since that was lighter than where I wanted to end up, I then mixed up Apple Barrel Colors Hunter Green 20754 and a bit of green ink. I put 2-3 coats over the foundation, then progressively added more green ink to darken it up. So I think I got fairly close although that may not be obvious from the pictures. I also added some Chaos Black to the base green for some recess work, though I don't know how evident it is in the pics. 2. I wasn't convinced that a yellow chest eagle would work, so I started with Iyanden Yellow foundation, then a 50/50 mix of IY and Bleached Bone, then a final highlight of Bleached Bone. From there I added a couple of layers of yellow ink and I got pretty close to what I wanted...something yellow, but not in stark contrast to the dark green 3. The lighter green started with a base of Space Wolves Grey, then Vile Green, then a glaze of SW Grey. So, Hubernator, what say ye? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137632-the-diy-swap-marines/page/9/#findComment-1650759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 *The Hubernator is currently incapacitated from sheer shock* :P I love it! B) That is.. wow. It's awesome. Just awesome.

Ferrus Manus Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 ok, slight update from me. Due to RL and lots of school work, yeah, even though i've finished my school still insists on giving me school work :wallbash: and they say I'm the one that needs educating. But I digress, I'm away from Sunday until the 26th so I will have to post the finished model slightly late.

Barret Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 So is this a test to see who comes in last? :wallbash: That would be. For the second time in a row, I fail utterly. Actually, I fail worse than last time because last time I actually assembled a model. If it wasn't for a rather unexpected move and getting married and all I probably would have done better, but alas... iFail Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/137632-the-diy-swap-marines/page/9/#findComment-1657640 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Cambrius Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 So is this a test to see who comes in last? :P That would be. For the second time in a row, I fail utterly.

If it wasn't for a rather unexpected move and getting married and all I probably would have done better, but alas... iFail ;) Waaaah! I was so hoping to see a well painted Son of Doom. :) Ah well, bad luck Barret, RL sucks when you have internet challenges to do. Regarding Brother Nehkbet from Vaaish's chapter, I'm going to try and get a webcam installed on my computer and see if it can take a decent picture of my model.

Chapter symbol is entirely freehand with a 000 brush in four easy steps. I will do another one as a "tutorial" if you like?
