DIY Swapping Project WIP Thread


Recommended Posts

I've just been idle with the marine I've got to paint up. All this Uni malarky and having to do work bah!

 

So I have all the paints ready and the Tactical Marine just needs to be undercoated.

This topic fell back too many pages!

 

Ok my guy is sprayed. Going to paint him tommorrow whilst my computer backs everything up on my back-up hard drive (the main drive is apparently dying or undead or something).

Sorry about not being around much here guys. I've hit a bit of a wall in terms of painting/modeling recently. I'll try and get back into the swing of things this week and see what I can come up with. Weather's supposed to get nicer than the snow that's here now by the end of the week too so I can prime the model then.

I have raptors, mostly assembled, awaiting paint...

 

Silver - what special weapon would be fluffiest? They're on an ice planet, and my choices are a plasma, flamer, and a meltagun... :tu:

 

Blasted kit is all metal though. A warning to Chaos players - it is far easier to buy a loyalist kit and convert it with leftover bitz from your generic squad then to buy these monsters. Few poses here, although the champion is quite awesome. If you think him and the jump packs that you get are worth it, then you should get them, but as a forewarning they are a pain to stick together. You are also required to assemble one with a plasma pistol, unless you have an extra right arm bolt pistol.

Your painting a whole squad? Wow... As for weapon, whatever catches your fancy. Flamer would be appropriate for the whole Dragon thing but as they follow the codex and they are all in the codex then, whatever you think looks good. I'm all excited now...

I was hoping you'd say flamer... I like large templates :wallbash:

 

I may take a while to post pictures though. I need to go read 'how to post pictures tutorial' now...

I aplogize as I have not been around either... had some issues with the local internet company and trying to sort them out along with being rather busy at work. Nice part is now I should have more free time, but only just a little.

I'll be starting work on WingsOfTheFalcon's Lost marine today. Unfortunately he's probably going to end up looking like a vanilla Marine but I'll do what I can to set him apart from the rest in lieu of my total lack of bits :)

Hey Dark Link, how's the Falcon coming along? :)

OK, they are all assembled with a basecoat...

 

As a forewarning, when I finally take and post pictures, their feet that aren't attached to the flames may seem strange. I had to resculpt them with greenstuff, which was the only greenstuffing I did for these models, excepting some slight repair work for the Champion's tabard.

I removed the image tags because it won't let me post with them. It'll have to stick to links for now, mes amis....

 

But I have several links B)

For whatever reason, my picture of my painted Raptors (except for two of one raptor) have magically dissappeared :angry:

 

I'll post more later... for now, sleep is good... :yes:

Okay just a text update here, just to let my "client" know I'm still working away. Painting has finally started, I fear with good reason that the colour will not match up very well, I will however throw over every trick I can muster to make up for it. Thanks for the patience.

 

Good luck to all!

@WingsOfTheFalcon: Sorry for the late reply. I'm busy preparing and studying for preliminary exams next month and haven't had a lot of hobby time. As we agreed, I'll be creating a member of the Lost, using a mix of Dark Angel and Death Company bits. I've picked out all the bitz I'll be using and will get him primed hopefully tomorrow after school.

 

(Worst part of living in Scotland in winter, always rains, bloody freezing and it gets dark at around 4 in the evening... crap priming weather.)

Tell me about it, my brother used to live in Aberdeen! It's hard enough priming in Manchester at this time of year! Glad to hear it's coming along and good luck with the exams fella! <_<

Hey! I managed to prime my model on a cold day (I'm in Aberdeen). ;)

 

Shouldn't you be snowed under Heru?

 

Cambrius

My model has been primed for about a week (but it was cold that day).
