Lavaman Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I intend for this to be a long term thread, with the aim of gathering feedback & ideas for everything i'm working on. I'll begin with a rhino & librarian in terminator armour nearing completion. Thoughts please :) http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/S7304426.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/S7304430.jpg More to follow in the near future, cheers for taking the time to look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Very nice stuff. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Very neat. It'll be good to see a few marines once you have finished them. Where did the driver for the Rhino come from. Is that standard (I got mine off ebay so there are bits missing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElTanko Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 WOW you are a seriously good painter, looks very very good indeed. cant really say much else!! oh except the Rhino driver has got a lovely hairdo!! ElTanko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominar_Mortis Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 it' not fun with the top down and no hair... crisp, clean and vibrant, really well done! tho i would suggest a close up of the libby. a shade or two lighter on his face would draw focus a bit more, perhaps even white out the eyes, freaky psi-energy style. you obviously know your way around a paint brush, so may i suggest a bit of source lighting emitting from the palm? like he's revving up to blast someone.

Lavaman Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks for the comments so far :P Both those models are now done. I'll be posting pictures of them in the HOH soon... Next up this fella http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/S7304463.jpg A simple but nice conversion using the double handed sword from the limited edition emperors champion model. The only thing stopping me from getting down to some painting is his right shoulder pad, regular shoulder pads are to large when compared to the metal ones so i'm going to have to pick up some assault sqd metals. thoughts please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Very simple conversion on the Assault Marine Sergeant, but he looks excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing him finished with your painting skills. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavaman Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 and something else ready for paint :P http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/S7304465.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I hope you have another of that sicarus mini, he could be a collectors model O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavaman Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 He is a collectors model & a personal favorite, i gots my own, no doubt. This model was given to me in a bad condition. There was no left arm & the right claw was badly damaged, also there was, what i believe to be, lead rot all over the left chest area and back (now hopefully gone). I accidentaly hit the right shoulder pad with the dremel when dashing the claw, flatening the skull in the middle of the chapter badge so i have gone on to remove that too. All in all i'm pleased with the outcome, makes for a nice veteran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor =D= Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I rather like him to be honest. If I used Ultras I'd use him for an hq he's that cool. Lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavaman Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Here's the Librarian pretty much done, I may go back and do a bit more on him. Right now i'm working on a lysander model in ultramarines colours, so we'll see ;) http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/S7304489.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahveel Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Wow, that is very impressive. Love the weathering on the botom of the cloak and boots. My only recomendation would be to go back over the staff head. It looks prety dull next to the rest of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavaman Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Here's a squad of Assault Marines that's slowly coming along, I have a couple of commissions i'm working on that need finishing before these guys see some paint. I may post a few more snaps soon, let me know what you think please :D http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/AssaultSquad.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I like the stuff so far, even for ultra marines(I spit at ultra) :D . The assualt sq looks good but just standard from what I see, but I can't belive you used the lim ed EC sword for such a minor conversion. Thats not to say I don't like it looks good but its a special sword for special stuff. (sorry just the BlackTemplar in me) lol That terminator libby seems to be eveywhere at the moment, I got one to such an awesome model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyner Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 These Ultras look excellent, rock on! (Ultramarines for the win, take that haters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavaman Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Thanks for the kind words :( I've been slowly progressing with the models. I managed to churn out a drop pod & got a lil paint slapped on the assault squad. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/S7304542.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/S7304547.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/S7304551.jpg I've also been working on a Warhound Titan, Lysander in Ultras colours & the Sergeant Aurelius mini (pics to follow........ all in good time) As always, all comments appreciated! Cheers, Lavaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavaman Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Bored of working on the smurfs i've decided to get on with my titan, it's been sitting around for far too long! http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/S7304588.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 You just had that thing sitting around unfinished? :P Ive been wanting one of those for ages...and you're just doing some Ultras :) That drop pod and the libby and the rhino look fantastic! The minor conversions just add so much character to your squads! nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavaman Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Cheers shortsonfire, and yea, this beast has been sitting around for a long time, too bloody long... shameful really. Time now to give it the respect it deserves with a spanking paintjob! and i am going to do just that, i'll be working from the feet up, expect an update soon'ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavaman Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 I've done a little more on 'the beast'.. for some reason it looks really orange in the pictures? It's going to be a deep, rich red colour in the end. What I do need is some inspiration as to what to write on the scrolls, any and all ideas will be considered, latin with translation please. For good measure i'm working on more ultras, 4th company, commission job, so there next http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/S7304613smaller.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/lavaman82/S7304622smaller.jpg Let me know what you reckon :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
