Starks333 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Well more updates...plasticard straps for the sniper rifles...sculpted the power fist(crappy pic) for the sarge...the servo arm attached to the bike, need to get another one to attach to the other attack bike only the HQs and the two sniper scouts left to finish assembly, as you can see they are coming along, the master of the forge needs more servo arms(will have 6 total) http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5727.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5725.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5726.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5723.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5724.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5722.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5721.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5719.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5718.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5717.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5716.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Octavian Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 dude these models are sweet and I really do like the scheme that you have going on. I can't wait to see what the finished master of the forge looks like! I was just wondering; what you were doing with the scouts with the pinned arms?

I was just wondering; what you were doing with the scouts with the pinned arms? master of the forge will see more action once the 2nd techmarine box arrives :) the pins are the armature for the sculptwork, i wanted to repose them instead of having 4 of the same pose for the "sarge" models working on the necron army right now as seen here: http://www.gamesummit.ca/forum/viewtopic.p...91&start=10 hoping to get it done by the end of the month...its for a friend its not mine...done not including the rods and glow i have to add after we get the rods ^_^...we may use blue ones but ya so updates on the marines will be a little slow for the next week or so thanks!

Starks333 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Got the bases in so i decided to move things forward...got the rets to the brown stage, only things missing now are the two scout bikes im waiting for, and the 2 HQs the rest has been highlighted and can now have salt removed...the scouts on the left still need the cloth done with the tan colour though http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5743.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5745.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks333 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 well a picture one no ^_^ not now atleast i dont have anything to sculpt one on but a word one sure -armature wire -apply GS over -magic sculpt a basic "cylinder shape" -add on some putty flatten and smoothen, then use a knife to create the individual fingers, dont need to be super clean -once it dries use a sharp knife to clean it up making it crisp...if you need to use a fine sandpaper(400-600grit) to sand the cylinder to smoothen further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 SO i scrapped the captain metal body and decided to mod the FW one, and do something nicer and simpler the MotF model is now all pinned, just need to do some sculpting, and more patch work the chipping went well, i screwed up on the drop pod and accidently rubbed off some chunks as the water got under, but i will cover it up and repair it with some other techniques...the speeders look great, i still need to wash off some of the salt stains tho, it didnt clean great on some of them http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5756.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5755.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5753.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5754.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Scorpions/100_5751.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karitas Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 wicked models looks like verdigris :) Looks like good old fashioned salt masking to me, (please correct me if i'm wrong) the basic idea is to create a series of random "holes" in your topcoat that resemble chips / age what i always used to do is slap on a layer of a deep terracotta red, starks ere has gone for a brown which looks wicked with his topcoat. once that is dry you use a nice temporary adhesive ( i used hairspray) to blast a few areas and sprinkle salt crystals on. these will be held there by the hairspray while you airbrush on your topcoats, maybe even some basic shading. once youre happy with that you wash off the salt/hairspray and you are left with a weathering effect as above. i'm pretty sure thats what starks has done, there are tutorials around of you google "salt mask weathering" this one for example discusses using a much "wetter" salt mask than i've ever tried. i used to use large rocj salkt crytals as chips, but like most things experimentation will lead to good things ;) (edit - i hope no-one takes offence at me answering a question directed at someone else, if its an issue let me know and i'll remove the post. sorry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunchBox Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Alrighty then... Well, I hung out with Jeremie a little yesterday, and I'm still punch-drunk from watching him work. He 'touched' a couple of models of mine, and worked miracles in just a minute or two. He said my blends, and pallette were very good, but I needed to sharpen the highest points of light. We also discovered that I am thinning my paints too much, and the glazing is actually holding me back. So...I actually put a solid basecoat on a model yesterday! Scary, huh...

Starks333 Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 hahah, no idea dude, i just dont have the time or money to go!!! (nor the interest...) almost done!! the captain just needs the hand finished, and the motf just needs the intakes done, the bolters and guard finished, and ya...thats it! had to scratch sculpt the captains sword arm, and do some mods but overall it went quickly and looks pretty good http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/Scorpions/100_5758.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/Scorpions/100_5759.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/Scorpions/100_5760.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/Scorpions/100_5764.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/Scorpions/100_5766.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother 'Ussell Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 So far so good, I'm anxious to see how your weathing techique turns out, I use masking liquid for tanks and other larger things but it never truly feels random enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
