Shiodome Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 looks great :) how long did the dorp pod take to paint? i've been looking at the model thinking that it looks like a huge surface area, and so many edges to highlight... would take me days the way i paint o_O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/147701-drop-pod-and-tactical-squad/#findComment-1713602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmaster Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 It took me 19 hours from start to finish including building! There are a lot of "sides" to paint. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/147701-drop-pod-and-tactical-squad/#findComment-1713603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rottimus Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Super awesome! Looks worthy of being in a codex i.e perfect. Its the solid green that gets me. So flawless. I can never get big patches of clean color. Very nicely done.

nurglespuss Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Fanatstic! great clean comic book style colours (which I love), and the pot looks a lot bigger than I thought it was!! You get..... 5 shiny pebbles and a bag from Harrods!

Brother Ziggy Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 looks great ;) how long did the dorp pod take to paint? i've been looking at the model thinking that it looks like a huge surface area, and so many edges to highlight... would take me days the way i paint o_O Thats why you have to paint an all black chapter, like me :) Anyway, that's an amazing looking DP, the flames look awesome!

Bogus Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Love the drop pod. It looks sweeeeet!!! Also, your squad looks sharp as well. I like the bright, bold colors as well. Very crisp and neat.

Legacy40k Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 This is quite possibly the best looking drop pod I have ever seen... I love it. The one thing I do think it could use adding is a Salamanders chapter icon on each door. Partially because salamanders have one of the coolest chapter icons out there.

Brother Shrike Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Excellent job. One question: does the pod kit suffer from rhino-door syndrome? (i.e. do the doors stay closed by themselves?)

Ompfris Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Nice Drop Pod, I dont think I have the time to paint one.... I would prob get mad half way through and leave it on the table untill they bring out the 6th edition of the game! Salamanders seem to be as popular as the Ultramarines used to be!

MithrilForge Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Great Squad,Most Excellent Pod :P i am most impressed with the use of the flames on the side parts,as i think thats the part on other pods that lacks any Flair/Style(straight boltgun on such a big surface looks very Bland) so well done very nice.

Firedrake Cordova Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Great work - very nice and clean. If anything, the drop pod might look a little "flat" on the green (no real visible highlight), but that's personal taste, I guess. Really nice job on the flames, though. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/147701-drop-pod-and-tactical-squad/#findComment-1721653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
