Sh0sen Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Brother, it looks great. When things go a little array, you just gotta work with them. The HUD doesnt retract from the look of it at all. If anything it makes it look even more unique. Cus everyone seems to think all WW2 themed aircraft need to have sharks teeth I figured Id throw this alternative reference up. Teeth were primarily an allied thing. Most air forces had a ban on nose art, but I saw this while flipping thru a WW2 weapons encyclopaedia. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg178/ulik0/messnoseart.jpg I honestly don't think your model needs it, but there are other options out there.

Lancer Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Thats a good question on the tint, I've never tried it myself so I wouldn't be able to say. I'd say try it on some clear plastic sprue to see if it works first, the guys over at buypainted did an eldar falcon where they tinted the canopy green by coloring the inside of the canopy with a green ink of some type (can't remember what kind) and it looked really good. Don't think I've mentioned it but the Stormhog is quite brilliant, I was thinking of doing one up in the shape of an F-4 Phantom but thats a ways off.

zxyogi Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Anaraion: Ha! Thanks mate, big fan of Zxyogi's work too! In fact if you look 4 posts under that picture you will find my post :) none the less you are quite right, great weathering on his stuff and he actually gave me the tips on the burnished exhaust tips. :) Your work keeps me inspired Nighthunter!! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/16/#findComment-3244558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Evening all! Schusen: I hear you brother, know that picture, must have the same book :tu: Bit of a complex design that, thinking more along the lines of JG2 eagle design for the squadron leader. Lancer: Cheers mate, sadly it seems like I will have to wait for the next one to give it a go, no way the ink seems to be coming off! Good like with the F4! Zxyogi: Ha! Cheers mate! So Zero - 3 is about 98% done, just a couple more lenses, some touch us and the base an thats it. Until then quick shot of the pilot and the nose lenses. Cheers all!

Sh0sen Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Must be the same book. The JG2 scheme looks great. If you go for a full squadron I'd highly agree going for that :) Works well with the paint your already using.

Kierdale Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Beautiful work, Nighthunters! Excellent detail on the pilot and those lenses too. What do you have planned for the base?

fivepointedstar Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Zero Three came out beautiful, and I hear your planing more. I first would like to congradulate you on that Storm Hog, and second is ask where you live, so I can look up local psychiatrists for you, on your notion of being crazy to take on more converstion work. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/16/#findComment-3253389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Zero-3 is looking great, I'm also interested to know how you're gonna base it.

NightHunters Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Ha, cheers all! Anaraion: you are too kind mate, but trust me, not always felt heavenly during the build, ruddy thing is possessed, the chaplains will have to conduct some sort of cleansing ritual for sure! Deathknight2000: I know, "My name is Night Hunter and I am addicted to conversions!" I hear thats the first step :lol: But sadly vanilla builds generally just don 't do it for me any more, especially if the original has something that doesn't compute with me! Kierdale/ChromeZephyr/Biohazard: Cheers lads, re the base looking at building/tank ruins with a couple of guardsman/marines looking up at Zero-3, maybe a salute or a fist pump going on, something along those lines anyway. Again, cheers all! FTE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/16/#findComment-3254137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Chronicler Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 wow I love your models and specially those designs on the wings and infantry you have there! How do you do it? Cause that is a place of interest for me. Cheers mate, I love your models and I can't wait to see more of them. Specially the conversions let the updates keep flying in!

Grizzly_bear Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wow, looked through this whole thread and I'm amazed on how much detail in modelling and painting you've acheived, really well done here fella.

Biohazard Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 A wrecked Rhino would look cool on the base, or even jsut half a rhino and yuou could show the other half is either blown to hell or buried. I really like the idea of the salute/fist pump though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/16/#findComment-3254535 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChromeZephyr Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The saluting soldiers gets my vote, that would just be frickin' epic. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/16/#findComment-3254944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biohazard Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Ha just had a thought. If you wanted to get really cheesy you could go for a Top Gun style theme. A scout biker at the end of a runway saluting 0-3 :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/16/#findComment-3255205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thanks for the feed back chaps! Dorns_Fist: Many thanks brother and a good question that, think I am going to go back to working on the dioramas which is looking rather forlorn at the mo! Chrome_Zephyr, Anaraion, Biohazard: yeah think the salute will have to be done!

Jamafore Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Awesome stuff. Just a question, what are you using for your hunter killer missiles? I've seen those twin barreled thingys before but can't for the life of me remember where.

NightHunters Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Biohazard: indeed, still not discounted tho ;) Forgotten Knight: those would be these cut in half. Pretty straight forward but looks great, modelled on the M2/3 Bradley TOW missile launcher. Hope that helps! Cheers all!

NightHunters Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Greetings all! Been working on Zero-3's base over the last couple of evenings and have come up with this....and apologies in advance Biohazard, no bike this time :) And a couple of close ups of the marine. Will probably add a second at some stage but need to get this finished this week for the local GW.
