Mordus Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 nice, clean colours, good edge highlighting, cool scheme. Generally a thumbs up. My only objection is....I cant find anything wrong with it :) Those are some incredibly smooth and vibrant colors there on the tailfins. Mind sharing the recipe for such awesome coverage? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Needs atmospheric entry marks like burnt patches/edges. Oh and some weathering like chipped paint on the corners. Â Other than that, absolutely brill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ein Windir Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Amazing paint job. The part I like the best is the steps. They look like galvanised steel. How did you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Legion Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Wow. Thanks people. Â @ Metcalfden - I was thinking of putting weathering and atmospheric entry damage on it, but it wouldn't fit into my overall armies theme of 'off the line' look. Â The recipe is quite simple and took a short time to paint to be honest. It's a very easy model to paint. - The Black is GW primer - The door grate and turbine at the top is simply boltgun metal with a thinned down badab black wash over it. Gives it a nice look I think. - The fins are where I cheated a bit, but I've used an airbrush to avoid the bristle marks. The colour I used is a 90-95% match to blood red, and is called "Auto-Air Colors", custom automotive paint, semi-opaque, series 4200, "Flame Red", water based, takes 24 hours for each coat to dry. I use two coats obviously. This paint was picked up at my local art store who has since moved far away from me. If you are in canada, the store was called "loomis art supply". I don't know how much I would recommend those paints, but mine has been used on all my new tanks. The only problem with it is that it's a bit rubbery. If you can use blood red in your airbrush, I'd say stick to that. Â And BOB, I still feel bad and I will never live it down, but you made it possible. Thanks pal. Hopefully I'll see you sunday.

I am Legion Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Sorry there was 1 more step. The sealant used is the GW one, shaken for 2 minutes like the instructions say. It's actually very good sealer. Anyway here are a few more shots. You can really catch the rushed job in some of these. It's too bad you can't really tell due to the cruddyness of my camera, but that center console half dome is supposed to be static (you know, for that split second that it hits the ground). No matter how I take the picture, I can't seem to get it to take a clean picture of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Kashnizel Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 It looks great! The red is very clean which is hard to achieve since it takes so long to paint. The interior is very nice aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
