winterdyne Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Thought I'd post this up for comments / critique... not sure whether to enter this one or do another, neater. I've not painted in a lonnng time and feel a bit rusty. :-) http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_5.jpghttp://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_6.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_7.jpghttp://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 If that is your painting level when you feel "rusty", i'm almost tempted to ask what your level is when you feel on par! ^_^ That is a fantastic looking BR Termiantor. The paint job looks great and all the extra finishing touches here and there (dirt, chipped armor) really gives the mini some character. Rusty or not, your painting skills are top notch :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wokkers Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 fantastic looking model winterdyne. as mentioned above, i love the battle damage / scratches. and the freehand chapter symbol is awesome. and just between you and me - if thats rusty, i would hate to see practised ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJon Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I like your weathering and worn effects. Your free-hand is great and the green eyes really make the head stand out. Only question is where is the WIP part? Looks done to me. BigJon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cl4d Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Mini is good looking but the base is weird, it looks like hes in a circle of really flashy grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 The WIP part is mostly tidying and sharpening up some details. I find looking at photos of what I've done helps more than looking at the mini. Extra paires of eyes also help! For example: the right eye needs a stronger black line, the pipe on the powerfist need tidying up, both pipes need sharpening highlights on each segment. Lots of the chips also need shading in to increase the contrast between the exposed 'metal' and the red basecoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiriel Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I deeply concur with the others, This is a cool-looking model! Though as said, you may be a perfectionnist, but this termie looks just fine and finished for me. However, if you want things to improve, the base looks a bit "cheap", a simple brushing on the grass in bleached bone or maybe catachan green could help make it look a bit more natural. I'd like to paint like that when I'm "rusted"... xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 more pics... decided to do some artwork on the power fist and redo the gun casing. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_9.jpghttp://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_10.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_11.jpghttp://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_12.jpg Feeling a little less rusty, though my lettering skills seem to have abandoned me... :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 im not going to lie, i have a burning hate for blood ravens...but the model does look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Great work. I actually like this look of battle damage over the usual excessive highlighting. I am moving more in that direction with my World Eaters since it suits the chapter. I was going to say the only thing I'd change is the fist needed something.... then I see you did something. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronowraith Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Alsways good to see my favorite chapter getting a good paint job. Your shading is excellent and , while I think it's a bit excessive, I really do like the weathering and battle damage. Your freehand work is truly amazing. Seriously, you think you're rusty? Don't worry about lettering. Your letters look fine but the placement is just a little off. Usually I paint duplicates on a flat surface and practice lettering there a couple times before doing it on the real surface. That way I know where to start and place the letters so I don't screw up any freehand work underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 After your touch up work, the only thoughts that came into my head were that i need to go back to painting school... I mean, my attempts to paint properly seem several notches away from even meeting the mid ground on your "rusty" paint job. You've definitely met the table top standard and surpassed it with flying colors :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalevolentMc Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Your rusty painting skills make me.. just plain rusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 wow that looks like a real terminator O.o how do you paint the battle damage? and the deep colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 It's a nice model but you won't win. Someone will sell there soul and do a 60 hour job or something... I'm gonna do the nob me thinks and I'm kinda limiting myself in how much time I have to work on one random ork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Richard Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I have to agree with the crowd that your idea of 'rusty' is humbling. I have now decided to paint the ork. One question though, where's the skull with the bullet hole in the forehead. I thought that was part of the model too? I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. So we can just not include it?

winterdyne Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 That's still on the sprue. Keep that for my bits box. :-) I agree I don't think this one would win, but it's not a bad effort. Erm, let me see if I can remember what I did and what I used... Chaos black spray undercoat after cleanup. No GLUE! It's not needed and being able to take the arms off is a godsend. Armour is scab red highlighted with vallejo flat red and a vallejo flat red / flat yellow mix. Black washes for deep shading. The beige armour is a black / bleached bone mix. Fairly thick paint used, I wanted to give the surface some texture to take damage and washes to weather it. Damage is vallejo natural steel edged with a fairly thin scorched brown / black mix.

winterdyne Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Quick update of the WIP... bit of tidying up done. Still might have to strip and redo the badge shoulder: http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_13.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_14.jpghttp://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_15.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_16.jpghttp://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/termie_17.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf89 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Amazing work, I love the freehand, the only thing is I would have set the blood raven a tad lower on the right shoulderpad. I'm loving everything on the powerfist though. Top Job, I'd vote for it. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
