DIY Swapping Project WIP Thread


Recommended Posts

Non-picture update for me. I was able to finish up the highlights and assembly of the model tonight leaving me with the base (general painting and flocking) and the banner. The banner is going to take some time but I'm hoping to finish out the project in the next couple of days.

Well time for another update. This guy is nearly done, tomorrow afternoon I'll be painting his banner which will probably take all afternoon to finish up. In the mean time, here's the rest of him assembled and ready to go minus a few touchups and some markings on the knee pads.

:: Looks at above ::

:)

...

The lighting hasn't been particularly kind (and I don't have a fancy lightning rig system).

Probably going to do a little more to the backpack (vents, skull etc). Honestly though, beyond doing that, adding the symbols and basing it, I don't think there is really much more I can do before it comes down to me messing it up trying to do things like highlights (it has been washed though for shading, but the light is mean). :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Well... Deadline is almost here and I don't think I'll make it. I just got a little more work left one mine, but my major issue is simply the inability to post pictures. I have no idea where my camera is currently and I'm heading out of the country for the rest of the weekend.

 

If Tutteman wants the mini when this is all over, I can send it to him once I get back.

Edit: Oh god Feb 1st jeeze you guys have to stop scaring me like that. Thought I wasnt gonna finish.

Wait, the deadline's Feb 1st? Thank god, I thought it was December 30th for some reason. If it is the 30th though, my apologies to WingsOfTheFalcon as it's not going to be done for that date.

 

EDIT: The deadline is the 30th. Apologies to WOTF, I've not completed this. Primer ran out after priming my tactical squad and my closest hobby store is seven miles away, and I don't drive <_<

Now I'm confused. I thought the deadline was 31 December 2010?

Is it? The Main DIY thread has giant red lettering that says the 1st of Feb. :drool:

You are looking at the 2009 thread. The 2010 thread is the current one, and the deadline is today (Dec 30th).

 

My one is done, it's just I need good sun light to be able to take pictures.

Okay, I put on a rush upon realising the deadline was so close. Here are some rubbish pics, mainly just to prove I have finished on time :rolleyes:

Sorry for the double post, but I got my entry finished.

 

Veteran Brother Varus of Solidus' Legion.

Unfortunately there's no real background on him other than he's a Sternguard Veteran. He's possibly one of the earlier members of the army and was gifted a set of Mk6 armour from his father chapter for his help against the Orks.

Well, Heru Talon's model is sort of halfway to three-quarters done. I realized too late of course that I had left all of my paintbrushes at University, and here at home I only have these really thick ones, so it has been quite difficult. If I can't manage to finish it by midnight tonight (East Africa time), well, consider me failed. However, I'll definitely try.

 

EDIT: Wait, the deadline is in February? Good Lord, I thought it was New Years Day! Plenty of time to get to my paintbrushes!

Post 122 (Page 5) of the Sign Up thread says 31st of December...But don't worry, I'm sure there aren't any major reprisals being organised.

Gutted! Oh well, are you still going to do the marine or have you decided not to bother now the project is over?

Wait, so it isn't on the 1st of February?
