Megapope Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Minor update for completeness... I realised that my bases needed sprucing up in the form of ROCKS. Everyone loves ROCKS! So I got me a bunch of pebbles, painted them up and repainted the bases. I think they look a bit nicer now. http://i.imgur.com/JD30p.jpg Ultrasmurfs. Now 100% rockier. Back to plodding away on the rest of the command squad. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238779-smurfs-in-spaaaaaaace/page/4/#findComment-2925646 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thanks, Captain Hyperbole. I'm very aware of the mold lines. They're not ideal but they hardly ruin the entire model.

Megapope Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 More Sternguard! (Yeah I know, moldlines. I suck at remembering to remove the damn things) These models about three quarters done.... based, inked, highlighted for the most part. Mainly tidying up, finishing bolters and other details, putting on decals and basing, etc. http://i.imgur.com/zpxOA8d.jpg http://i.imgur.com/x0kHsTU.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Sg7rNRm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2SyxAOt.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238779-smurfs-in-spaaaaaaace/page/4/#findComment-3369301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 These are pretty good, and you've chosen a nice shade of blue to work with. But I would try to tighten up those highlights a bit by going back over them with the base shade, leaving the lines cleaner and thinner towards the edges. Mold lines on a white helmet...ouch. Getting those things off helmets is the worse I think. That, and bolter barrels. Seems like bolters and CCW arms are always several millimeters off.

Megapope Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 So I got me the Librarian from the Dark Vengeance set to make into an Ultra-Smurf. Here he is just after being base coated and inked... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GSZqZcOTJ2E/UZdH3DnMuJI/AAAAAAAADb4/s8aVvXiumsY/s1600/Librarian_Ink.jpg Below is a quickie photoshop job to show what I'm thinking about doing with the front cloth piece as I think its a bit lacking currently. Any thoughts? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-frroWgdMHug/UZdPvsVmOlI/AAAAAAAADcg/fKTTxZnvd5k/s1600/Ultra-test.jpg Aaaaaaaand another Sternguard is being worked on! http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1fFQrnWyniE/UZdIeAU0OcI/AAAAAAAADcQ/Gr_6T8-ZHbw/s1600/Screen+shot+2013-05-18+at+9.22.40+PM.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238779-smurfs-in-spaaaaaaace/page/4/#findComment-3374127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megapope Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 More WIP on the Librarian.

MagicMan Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Great concept for the front of his tabard... Its hard to find good places to put Ultra symbols on that guy! Gotta admit i prefered the smaller symbol, and the line of white to break up the blue though. Keep it up! Like his flaming death hand too. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238779-smurfs-in-spaaaaaaace/page/4/#findComment-3379255 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I preferred the original mockup too but I found the smaller symbols I had from Forgeworld were too small! I might see if I can squeeze a thin line onto that tabbard though.

Firepower Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 The hand is pretty sweet, but the very rear of the glow on his wrist may do well with some touching up. The front robe being such a bright shade of blue compared to the armor is kinda odd, too. But still, a good model :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238779-smurfs-in-spaaaaaaace/page/4/#findComment-3379693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megapope Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 I decided to make my generic commander into Captain Sicarius. Here's a before photo and two after pics, showing what I did and the general improvement in painting that's happened over two years.

Megapope Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 For s***s and giggles I decided to make up a heavy flamer Sternguard to add to my squad. I used a spare weapon from the terminator squad and away we went! http://i.imgur.com/R9gmoLz.png I basically just lopped off the top of the arm above the elbow of the terminator weapon, then attached a right facing upper arm from the standard space marine set. For the other hand, I got one of the bolter gripping hands and cut it off from the arm, glueing it back into place 180 degrees so it's now facing down. This also involved a lot of mucking around with putty first so I knew everything was going to line up. http://i.imgur.com/0lCMHyN.png Here's how he looks with everything in place. The crested head is from Chapterhouse Studios. Still a lot of tidying up to do, but I think he's going to be a pretty neat looking model!
