NemFX Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Honestly? After the cool bulldozer, you'd expect the back door to have something fancy too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165467-vindicator/page/2/#findComment-1949201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Sasha Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I cannot but echo all the previous adulation, and consider it Golden Demon-worthy, but as the thread asked for criticism... The only thing that feels wrong to me is the shell on the back; though expertly done, the colour scheme chosen makes it look like a big out-of-scale bullet; this is partly inevitable because of the model (This is why I just left my one off, I preferred the look of an empty grab on the crane), but a duller colour might help this back off a bit. Or, how about sacred inscriptions or dribbled unguents on the bullet itself? Such a large shell surely deserves the special attention of a tech-priest? My very, VERY humble opinions on a stunning piece; at what point does colouring-in become high art? :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165467-vindicator/page/2/#findComment-1949219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortsonfire79 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Stuff like this makes every Ultras hater eat their own words. Ha, only slightly =-D Its not the Ultra part of this tank thats cool, its the paint job =-D Great attention to details...the mural is awesome, and you didn't fail to bring the detail all around the tank too.

Gv0zD Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 OMG! :angry: You ROCK! The tank is awesome! ;) The image on the dozer blade is........ I'm out of words.......I love it! You'll win every match - as your opponent is stunned while looking on your army, you'll crash him!!!!!!!!! Great work!!!!

Conor The Great Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Honestly? After the cool bulldozer, you'd expect the back door to have something fancy too. I think the point here is that the enemy gets a good look at the Front,But they dont live to see the back.

RickyChang Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Thanks, guys. i agree the cannon on the crane is a bit out of place. but i like the way it look shinny and new. shinny shell, unleash hell. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165467-vindicator/page/2/#findComment-1950117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJP Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 If this is your first vehicle ever for 40k, then I honestly can't wait for what you're going to do next. Without a doubt, a Golden Daemon winner. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165467-vindicator/page/2/#findComment-1950120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vindictus Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Just plain superb. Top notch. I will echo the previous comments, however that the carrier film on the Ultramarine "U" and the "II" on the dozer blade is distracting. You may want to carefully go back and it with some blue to cover them up. Nothing annoys me more than when I put decals on, use the Micro Sol and Set and then hit it with dullcote, only to have the film show. Grrrrrrr...

Haecon Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 That is awesome, the freehand on that is beyond belief. However, with all that great work the Ultramarines transfer on the front stands out a bit I agree. Since you can free hand so well... it would probably be best if you didn't use transfers at all (or hide them better, painting arround the edges to "blend" them in) as they really jump out and detract from the overall appearance.

solid snake drive Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Amazing freehand. What I would give to be able to do that... hmm. *grabs chainsaw* ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165467-vindicator/page/2/#findComment-1957572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandael Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Can't believe this is the first time I see this. At first I coudn't believe it was freehand (almost if you placed a picture on it). Can't really add anything already said here :jaw: Just one question: Any more projects you are working on? I'd guess we all would like to see some more stuff.

nordy Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I don't say anything about your freehand because i could not say anything new. Just awesome. Please do the following things: - Grap your phone and order a Land Raider or Thunderhawk - Lock yourself in a room till its done - Post your result here - Go to next GamesDay - Get your Golden Daemon - Bath in the glory you get :) Thank you Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165467-vindicator/page/2/#findComment-1957943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dràyhèn Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Wow, that's cool! I totally love that freehand, it's a while since I last saw something that brilliant. Good job, one of the best themes for a freehand like that, looks totally like ripped from the codex. Those were the pros, then the cons... The same bland ultra-blue and some highlights, the hull needs more depth, it needs to be more striking. Otherwise, I love that vindie.

Razrhaghul Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 wow until you added the "how you done it" pictures i had assumed you custom made a transfer or print and pasted it, but damn! my hats off to you good sir.

Dravenguild Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I applaud you sir, great work and I can't stress that enough, it takes a lot to get me out of lurker status and you've done it superbly.

LeeHarvey Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Spectacular freehand work Ricky, I have come to expect no less from you, lol. I am glad to have run across you here at B&C too, wasn't quite expecting this. I may still hate Ultramarines in general, but this vindicator is the best piece I think I've ever seen of yours. My only criticism for you is weathering. The vehicle, while a little chipped and dinged is still very clean looking, almost too clean to have been deployed to a battlefield, not enough dirt or grime for my taste, (that's just a personal opinion of mine and doesn't count for much :cuss) but even so, I don't think that detracts from the model as a complete whole really, it looks like you were going for art over realism and I think you succeeded admirably. You definitely have a skill set that I can envy. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165467-vindicator/page/2/#findComment-1967012 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyChang Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 thanks everyone. I am glad to have run across you here at B&C too, wasn't quite expecting this. o.o Lee ! i didn't expected this, too. thanks for your comment and you are right, i am don't like to paint a very weathered, dirty model. i painted a lot of WWII american soldiers mini many years ago. so i am tired with realistic weathering. and thats the main reason i choose 40k model or a new collection and why ultramarine not IG.
