Hialmar Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Excellent work, I love the way your black and red blend together. When I first saw the computer pick I thought that would be tuff to do smoothly but i think you nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feytor Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Really nice! How did you make that studs on the shoulder pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KolliIronbear Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 That looks pretty damned ace. You pulled off a tricky scheme off pretty damned well i'd say. So the question that's burning in my head is, are you going to stick to just having one squad of them? Kolli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worrywort Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Excellent job ! I love them ! Sama question, have you planified more of them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferro Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Oh heavens no, I'm only planning one squad of these guys. They were expensive and labor intensive. Besides, who has room in their army list for TWO vanguard squads? Interesting idea though... No, after this squad it's back to the customary Red Scorpion colors of grey/yellow. I've got the army here in various stages of paint/assembly, and need to focus on them for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissah Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 The models look great mate and I really like the paintjob. Im a big fan of Vanguards, Heroic Intervention is golden :confused: Can you tell me how you placed the decals and what kind of paper you used?

Ferro Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 @Vissah: I followed the custom decals tutorial on BoLS. I printed them on white decal paper and cut out the circles with scissors, used Micro Sol to soften the decals so they curve over the shoulder nicely. The black circles around the edges had to be touched up with black paint a bit. UPDATE: With the exception of a clearcoat, the squad is done! It's been raining for a few days so I have to wait till the humidity is lower. Anyway: Looks like it took me a month. Here they are, ready to bring the Emperor's Justice: http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h79/aguave5150/DSC02701.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h79/aguave5150/DSC02702.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h79/aguave5150/DSC02704.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h79/aguave5150/DSC02703.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h79/aguave5150/DSC02705.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h79/aguave5150/DSC02706.jpg Now, finally, back to normal grey and yellow.
