Ebsolom Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 After being in and out of the hobby for about 8 months now I've gotten round to post some progress on this model. I've had it since it's release but has only recently been touched. Still have bit's and pieces to do like the blood drops, MM and stuff; http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m303/Ebsolom/Blood%20Angels%20WIP/DSC03229.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m303/Ebsolom/Blood%20Angels%20WIP/DSC03227.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m303/Ebsolom/Blood%20Angels%20WIP/DSC03226.jpg Comments and criticism always welcome :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toaae Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 My one comment would be to make sure to drill out the barrels on that Assault Cannon. And what did you do to the glass? I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamsight Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Looking very nice blue glass is a nice contrast how did you manage it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vharing Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Love the FW doors, man. So many people have asked if they fit and I havent seen any one do it yet. And I love the glass, did you ink it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebsolom Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thankyou guys! As for the glass it is indeed coloured using ink applied to the inside of the canopies. It usually takes around 2 coats of ink letting the first coat dry whilst the canopy is upside down and the second coat allowed to dry in the upright position. Please note that washes will not work as well due to the pigmentation and will end up looking gritty. Tahaal: I'm on the case. I always seem to forget about drilling barrels during the construction phase but that's what happens being an old fart like myself :jaw: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redo Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thats a nice looking Raven. Nice shade of red, well detailed and the FW doors are a nice touch. I like your inked canopy as well. A little too dark for my taste but I think I will try to ink a canopy now. Perhaps just a shade or two. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fury Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Wow, looks great man! Are the weathering smudges a black pigment or paint? And maybe add a bit to the rear of the engines? It looks really good :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Dan'l Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Tamiya makes spray colors for acrylic RC car shells that will do the same job in a single coat. You can even get gold if you like the look of modern fighter canopies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
