Preacher No'ki Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Wonderful thread. It's great to see the first Chapter I played represented so well and in such detail. Keep up the good work, the Prognosticators have seen great things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickSix Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Due to how awful rhinos have performed so far in my recent games, I got motivated to put some drop pods together. I have to say that I abhor assembling these. One is glued shut the other two open and will have a simply painted interior. I did a lot of pre-shading in the hopes that I can get a good effect with one coat of metallic paint. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/8/19/528910_sm-Drop%20Pods%2C%20Pre-shade%2C%20Space%20Marines.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Looking good so far. I've often heard bad things about putting together drop pods. What's the issue? And any advice on how to ease it? I've heard painting much of the interior before assembly is best...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I gave preshading a try the other day, with no luck. Could just be that it only works with certain colors though. I imagine metallics would be fairly cooperative. But I still bet a wash may be needed. I've got to assemble mine tonight or tomorrow as well. Soooo not looking forward to it. I don't wanna mess up so many hours of work, but I am almost certain something is gonna go wrong. Kierdale- the way the fins meet at the top around the cylinder-engine thing is crazy complicated and finnicky. Kierdale 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Kierdale- the base and doors go together first. But then you have to put on the fins one at a time and line them up to fit on the free-floating center piece (fan). It is a royal pain. And yes this is one of the models where pretty much everything should be painted before assembly. Firepower- well look at the pic below and let me know how you think it worked. A wash is still needed in a lot of places. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/8/19/529064_sm-Drop%2C%20Pod%2C%20Space%20Marines.jpg Kierdale 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Also a sneak preview of something else. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/8/20/529156_sm-large%20base%20WIP%201.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Looks like it made a slight difference, but not a significant one. I would just skip the step altogether and go with the wash, seeing as you need to do it here and there anyway. Washes work a treat on metallics anyway :) Just finished painting the last pieces of my own drop pod. Assembly tomorrow. I will sacrifice a chicken to the superglue gods and pray for the best :P SickSix 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Chaplain Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 And MERRY CHRISTMAS! And merry christmas to you as well Sicksix! Your chaplain is looking mighty fine, did you decide on what chapter he's going to be from? Digging the retro legion of the damned models by the way.

SickSix Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Yeah, he is going to be a Skully. I realized the only chaplain I have for them is the terminator. I have a jump pack chaplain for the Death company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ephrael Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Nice to see you posting an update on your Silver Skulls, especially three outstanding sculpts from long ago.

War Angel Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I've found keeping a log helps to keep the paint flowing. It's good to see these guys are still being worked on. Such a great thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickSix Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Small update. These guys are taking a while. Lots of details. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/2/13/584611-Captain%2C%20Silver%2C%20Skull%2C%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Veteran.jpg I am planning on using this captain from the "Masters of the Chapter" as my power armored Chapter Master. I think the double headed axe is perfect for the master of a head hunting chapter. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/2/13/584612-Captain%2C%20Silver%2C%20Skull%2C%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Veteran.jpg Edited February 13, 2014 by SickSix Kierdale, Monstra Sumus and deathspectersgt7 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
