Ajo79 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Finished my first plastic Drop Pod yesterday. Took a good bunch of hours to assembly and paint, probably around 10 hours. I'm quiet pleased how it turned out. Was shooting for something gritty and well used. Painting in something I call "Improved Table Top Quality", which is I guess a standard I'm comfortable painting (ie my skills). Green is a coat of Orkhide Shade, then two coats of dry brushes snot green followed by a wash of Devlan Mud. Red is a coat of Machrite Red, then wetbrushed Blood red. Notice now I forgot to highlight the red (ops!) Comments are welcome. http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l398/BeachHead79/WH40K/droppod9.jpg http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l398/BeachHead79/WH40K/droppod10.jpg http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l398/BeachHead79/WH40K/droppod11.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefoserpent Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Nice drop pod! I like the addition of the hazardous lines on the doors and the color scheme as well! One advice though : try to add some detail on the radar inside the pod ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I wonder if I should get one, is it worth the effort and how is it like to paint it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Grimfang Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 My only C+C. That half bubble thing inside, put some gloss on it and paint some detail onto it. Other than that, nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajo79 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 @Terminatorinhell: It's a pretty tough model to build and assembly without the right guide. I made some big mistakes but I could recover from them. Don't notice them now, thankfully. Painting. It was kinda boring since you have the five fins with ten sides so you have plenty of identical areas. But a Drop Pod is very iconic for Space Marines so every chapter should have at least one <_< @Others: Thanks guys. Will improve the dome in the center. Gloss and some white text should do good.
