Rider-75 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Not much progress tonight or last night. Teething toddler and other domestic joys hampering time as per usual... :lol: http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/E0B343AC-C398-4557-98F6-AE271513562C-2078-00000315F40747A4.jpg Got the blue finished bar the final highlight which I'll do at the very end after finishing up everything else and tidying up. All non blue parts were then given a thin coat of black to help them stand off the blue on painting. The metal work has also been base coated with BG metal and washed with badab black. Next up is to highlight the metalwork then start on the face. Need to make some decisions on shoulder and helmet colours though. As a captain, is he also a veteran and a such wear white helm and white shoulders? Or does that all go out the window at that rank? Advice please as I appear to have lost the C:SM book I bought to do this project back when I decided to go UM and not BT... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207412-riders-true-scale-dabblings/page/3/#findComment-3166646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider-75 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 So I actually managed to get some paint laid down on the captain tonight. Sooooo long since I've painted faces I'm not particularly happy with it. Same goes with the tabard at the from - though I plan to decorate it somewhat do that should hopefully cover up some of the shoddy painting on display. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/E91EF0A7-2EBA-4839-A3F1-310637E771C2-1830-000001D87916CD06.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207412-riders-true-scale-dabblings/page/3/#findComment-3171417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider-75 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Progress. Just wee bits to do then the base. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/1C771F99-F220-4F71-BCC1-A21017ADB72A-2399-0000031340659184.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/F092AF7B-19AA-46E8-9CB1-3B5D688F5433-2399-000003134A668FA8.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/8332958B-CC6C-45E1-984E-7D7E443727A6-2399-000003134EDD0169.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/95E8309D-CEBB-483D-B696-D02F910CAE95-2399-0000031338E2F363.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207412-riders-true-scale-dabblings/page/3/#findComment-3172415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider-75 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 I think I've finished the Captain. I may add a back banner which I'm in the progress of painting, but it depends how well the NMM gold on the cloth turns out... Anyway, here he is: http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/true%20or%20art%20scale%20ultramarines/AF1F7E18-AACF-4709-B03B-6A29F5BDA2BD-3585-000004F78EB08837.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/true%20or%20art%20scale%20ultramarines/D0FE51BF-F4E6-4612-BE25-C6FE52EDF441-3585-000004F794EA8D9E.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/true%20or%20art%20scale%20ultramarines/ACDDEF99-3832-4206-848A-D0741E6F1DAB-3585-000004F79E51C319.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/true%20or%20art%20scale%20ultramarines/53AF248E-A2BF-4801-80EB-3B44045BA928-3585-000004F7A81B0AB9.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/true%20or%20art%20scale%20ultramarines/D0820FF9-5210-4A00-8A90-BA8A6143FC82-3585-000004F7B04F2C63.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/true%20or%20art%20scale%20ultramarines/11DD7775-DE7A-40BD-A511-72BF63B0E0DD-3585-000004F7B819A738.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/true%20or%20art%20scale%20ultramarines/ECD431BA-5335-4170-94A0-7F5EBAE300D2-3585-000004F7BEAD20FC.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207412-riders-true-scale-dabblings/page/3/#findComment-3204237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Why are there not more people commenting on this? Your facial detail is excellent and your GS skills are much the same. Please, keep updating :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207412-riders-true-scale-dabblings/page/3/#findComment-3204262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider-75 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks DAT :( Hopefully the next 2 marines will be somewhat quicker to paint now I have the basic colour sorted and there's less detail to work on. On saying that I'm also tryin to fit in a few commission pieces and demo bits, so my own stuff is coming second. I've also got my Grey knights to start on too..... So much hobby, so little time!! Aaaaarrrrgggghh!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207412-riders-true-scale-dabblings/page/3/#findComment-3204267 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider-75 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 So another true/artscale mini is finally completed. This time a Minotaur. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/Minotaurs/null_zps0bc5ce4a.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/Minotaurs/null_zpscc281882.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/Minotaurs/null_zpsb44e84f3.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/Minotaurs/null_zps072fc1c2.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/Minotaurs/null_zpsba7498d6.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/Minotaurs/null_zps68fd3dcb.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/Minotaurs/null_zpsb053b335.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/Minotaurs/null_zpsab0501fc.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/Minotaurs/null_zpsbe861cfe.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/Minotaurs/null_zpsc990eb5f.jpg I have plans to return to the Ultramarines as well.....

Rider-75 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Well after Apologist and Doghouse returned the fray with their true/artscale marines, I was drawn back to my Minotaurs as a truescale effort - i'm sticking with regular HH Ultras and keeping these as the artscale:http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l8/rider_in_black/dark%20materials%20miniatures/Minotaurs/image_zps01112dbd.jpgOne is all done (see Hall of Honour link - or indeed the post above), 2 are assembled but need detailing, 5 are in early stages. That's 8. I was only going to do 5, but I've now secured two more pairs of tartaros legs to bring the squad up to 10 Thanks go again to Apologist for inspiration on getting my arse in gear and getting some more done on these. They'll still be dribs and drabs if progress rather than full on progress, as I have to fit them around 15 imperial fists....
