WAR Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Great work the figure is amazing, I liked how you actually drilled out the helmet and painted the lenses inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha PTP Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 My only complaint is that they are too well painted. Strip them and start from scratch. :huh: I really love the yellow. It has a lot of contrast and warmth to it, and the red looks just as nice. The fully faced flesh head doesn't look as nice as the one with the mask. Something about the mouth and nose just looks a tad off. Then again, I dislike most fully fleshed faces. Care to shed some light on how you painted your yellow? Did you use an airbrush to spray on the basecoat of the yellow? I just ordered one and I am waiting for it to come in. I'm going to try out Starks333 technique that he did on his Desert Scorpion army, and I was wondering if I could test out your method if you did, in fact, use an airbrush for the yellow.

Brother Ducarte Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yeah the basecoat was done with an airbrush. It's two thin coats of GW Golden Yellow. It's over a GW Skull White Spray undercoat. Then onwards with the brush. It's awesome to get the basecoat done with so u can get down to the business of shading and highlighting. I'm a bare head fan! All except for the One that comes with the Rhino! Btw Alpha, the full yellow method I used is in an earlier post on this thread. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ducarte Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 More WIP of my GB entry. Jump pack is almost finished except fr the purityseals and stuff. http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/1793495a.jpg http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/c0ce668d.jpg http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/902bd89c.jpg http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/d9705b30.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Great work! I really like that. What kind of head are you planning to use? Good luck on the GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6Veteran Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Most impressive blending in both application and color choice. One of the details that really makes the jump pack model is the highlighting on the jump pack straps on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 That GB entry is looking so sweet! IF you need an idea for heads I think the half bionic head would make him look really menacing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Ducarte Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Almost done now. Been having second thoughts today though about scrapping the whole thing. I've been looking at the same mini for too long! Might see if I can finish off my chaplain and then decide which to enter. Anyways here's where i'm up to. Just need to finish the head and a couple of touch ups here and there. C&C welcome as always! (sorry for the pic heavy post again, i really need to get off my butt and start resizing my pics!) http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/cdb05c01.jpg http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/68397720.jpg http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/9d3a7d16.jpg http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/d9237ac3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Awesome work! Love it! How did you achieve the effect on the jump pack vents? looks great, not over the top but still striking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INKS Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 your flesh tones are fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 IT looks fantastic, and the chrome on the servo-skull is superb! Now, to be as super critical as possible :) ..... 1.) The banner/scroll things on top of the jump pack are too static, and do not seem to be moving with the model. 2.) The helmet seems out of place in such a non-static pose. If he were charging into combat, or running, why would he be carrying his helmet and not his pistol? 3.) How are you going to paint the inside of the helmet with such things as HUD's and other techno-goodies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ducarte Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Commander Alexander: 1. Agree with u 100%. Don't know why I added those. 2. Again, agree with u. I think I couldn't decide between a bare head or a helmet and so went with both ;) 3. Haven't totally figured that one out yet. I guess with the helmet off, it's possible that the HUD is switched off? Thanks for the feedback mate, I appreciate it. :lol: The things you've brought up have been bugging me for a while but I should have given them more thought before putting paint to them!

WAR Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 love the chrome NMM on the servo skull, the weapon glows and the jump pack vents. The head should be a bare head with a short mohawk like on the Lysander Mini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I am glad that you can take the (hopefully) constructive criticism, especially from someone who can only dream of painting to your degree :rolleyes:. And those comments were me trying to be as critical as possible, because I am sooooooooo jealous and impressed by your painting skills, and it truly is a beautiful model.

LorgarXVII17 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Great looking models, though I must say I dont like the green/purple. In my opinion those colors clash too much with the yellow and red. Then again my Word Bearers power weapons are green... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ash Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 So I have to say that this is THE best representation of yellow I have seen in my twelve years of gaming. Its so rich and beautiful and I cant stop looking at your models. I have one question to ask of you... I would really love to use this color set up but for a Howling Griffons or if I decide Imperial Fists project I have stirring so I must ask if you can tell us how you achieved the red. Keep up the amazing work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fang Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Very very nice, they seem almost pastel like in colour. The green glow in the jump pack burners is brilliant. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaths Wings Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Very nice work, I have been having trouble painting yellow, I reckon i'm getting the hang of it now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattison Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 The shading on the yellow is really unique and somehow the whole thing has that smooth cartoonish look. Really nice, you are a pro man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ducarte Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hey all, Thanks for all the kind words and constructive feedback. I've finished now and i'll be sending the pics in tonite, so hopefully i can stop worrying about any changes i should make or whatever! B) These r the pics i'm sending. They're from my iPhone, but its all i've got to take photos. http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/Assault_Sarg_F.jpg http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/Assault_Sarg_L.jpg http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/Assault_Sarg_R.jpg http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac315/brother_ducarte/Assault_Sarg_B.jpg A couple of you asked about how i did the red and the thrusters, so for anyone insterested, here it is. Red: It's just basically P3 Khador Red Base (or GW Blood Red) for a basecoat. Then highlighted by adding more and more P3 Menoth White Base (or GW Bleach Bone although it's a tad lighter in colour). The chest eagle (and any other red sections that require deeper shading) are shaded down with VGC Terracotta (or any earthy red) and then the deepest recesses shaded down with RMS Imperial Purple (or any dark purple you like) Any lining can be done with watered down RMS Deep Red. Jumppack thrusters: Over white u/coat, basecoat with VGC Foul Green. (not sure what a GW equivalent would be) Shade down with RMS Burnt Orange. (or any kind of dull orange tone) Shade down with RMS Blushing Rose (basically any sort of redish flesh tone). Highlight with VGC Foul Green adding RMS Ice Grey (any sort of cooler white will do) until you basically get to pure Ice Grey for the spot highlights. As you can tell, I use mainly Vallejo and RMS paints, but there are GW equivalents of everything that will work just as well. Just need to work out the right water:paint ratios for whatever paint u use. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
