shatter Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I use a soft nylon toothbrush to polish GS before painting. Gives a nice even surface and helps prevent the paint from texturing on work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Yeah I do agree that it is still a bit plain/messy. If I was a pro I would take the time to strip paint and all that so I don't end up losing detail. >.> I will probably try to add some rivets using the glue dot stacking method. I don't think I'm quite good enough to go into super fine detail with the green stuff yet, but I'm getting there. Thanks for the tip, shatter. I have never tried that before. I was going to try super fine sand paper but a toothbrush sounds much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 I've got a small update for tonight! First time using jeweler's chain. I like the look of it. I haven't had a chance to come up with a name yet but I'm thinking he's almost a Cypher-like character. The armor and axe are passed down, the new owner takes on the responsibility and the chains are a symbol of the duty he is bound to. He's getting pretty close to being done. Just need to do a bit of finishing work.  http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1608.jpg  Also here is a picture of what I've been working on with extra green stuff. I had an old Inquisitor Lord Karamazov torso laying around and I think (when properly bulked up) it makes a great librarian torso.  http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1606.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hello everyone I have an update today. Sadly not for my Astorath stand in. The jump pack is proving to be more of a challenge than I thought so to avoid any further frustration I worked on my Librarian and got him finished up pretty well. This is my first attempt at a glow effect and there is plenty of room for improvement but I think I did ok for a first go. Here are a few shots, comments welcome as always.

LordofDeath11 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Lol @ the converison you've got with the guy swinging a chain-axe. It's hilarious. Also, did you dry-bruch your BC marines. i really like the effect you go on them, it looks more like a fading black as apposed to a jet black and that's the kind of look I want on my ones's. Â Good work dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 Thanks, and yeah I ended up doing a light dry brush. I have always had problems with getting a good black or red (which sucks because I usually do BAs or WEs) but I have this brush with super short bristles. Like almost to the point of non-existent. It's like a dry brush but you almost end up scrubbing the paint on if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Finally another update! Guess who is just about finished? Just need a suitable base (but then if you've seen my other posts you know I'm terrible about doing bases). Here is my yet-to-be-named stand in for Astorath the Grim.  http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1618.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1619.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1620.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1621.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1622.jpg   cc welcome as always!

Grazcruzk Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Thanks Tabgoi, I think I'm starting to get pretty good at it. I have an update today! I had my idea for a DC Tycho a while back and since I've got greenstuff again but don't have the model I wanted to use originally I decided to work with what I have on hand to get to work on Asmerus the Lost (counts as DC Tycho). I have to thank sar mikael for his excellent berserker thread. When I first saw it I immediately wanted to make Asmerus bare-armed. I didn't exactly mean for him to come out so freakin big but he just kind of ended up turning into a true-scale project. That's when I decided since he was so freakishly tall compared to rest of army that I might as well make Blood Song out of a heavy bolter and a multimelta. Anyways, I kept forgetting to take WIP shots as I went so here is what I've got right now.

NExOBLIVISCARIS Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 your last model is an ineresting piece. does he count as being in power armor or termie? Because I see both and the heavy bolter combie is a new look. but the model looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Power. I just planned on using him as DC Tycho but someplace along the line he ended up being a lot larger than I had planned on. I had made up a smaller/normal sized blood song originally but it looked way too small on him. I probably should have filled in the back of the legs with greenstuff but I didn't even think about it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Hey again. I have a small update on Asmerus. I was happy with my smoothing and finishing work so I got started painting. Turns out I overlooked a few spots that I'll need to smooth out a bit better. Oh well, just wish I would've noticed before I started painting. I haven't gotten any more work done on the Blood Song but I have a few shots of him with a little paint on him. C&C welcome as always!

Grazcruzk Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hey hey again. I finished up Ayia's second incarnation today. I used black reach termie legs and torso/shoulders and an old set of metal thunder hammer/storm shield hands. I wasn't sure what to do about the obvious "glove" part of the storm shield hand so I decided to add a shield(iron halo) to his wrist.. the blood reaver is made of... old dark eldar bits... A tank trap... and I think some bike parts.. Anyways, let me know what you think..  http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1646.jpg  http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1648.jpg  http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/loki114/warhammer%20stuff/IMG_1649.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazcruzk Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Thank you! The Blood Reaver isn't too over-the-top? Even if it is... What better way to say "My chapter is this close to going renegade." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
