Dark Rage Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Looking good, that black chainsword goes fairly well with the black power armour, looking forward to seeing more of these. Good luck with that predator, gotta get started on my vehicles soon. DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Thanks DR Predator is on the starting blocks… http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/works%20in%20progress/IMG_1639_zpsb80f1327.jpg I'm using Elmo's fantastic magnetising guide, with one exception so far….. I've magnetised the main weaponry in a slightly different manner http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/works%20in%20progress/IMG_1640_zpsd1442125.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Lookin' very nice, facmanpob. I really like how the chainblade looks, and it will definitely look good with some kind of ornamentation! Now I have ideas for magnetizing my new Predator, and I will be stealing more from Elmo! :D Glad you both like sharing, thievery is fun! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Nice to see an alternative method for the turret magnetisation. Looking forward to seeing the rest :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Realised I had the wrong size magnets for the sponson hangars and weapons, so I've ordered them via ebay! Spray paint will be purchased on Saturday morning, so we should see at least some progress over the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Rage Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Looking forward to it, think I may have to consider getting some magnets everyone seems to be using them. By the way I couldn't really tell in the pic but is there some different coloured plastic frames, are they for conversions? DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Well spotted! In the box on the right is a little plastic box from Scibor with some conversion bits for my Land Raider (when I get round to purchasing it!) and there are also some brown sprues with some Tamiya sandbags (again, thanks Elmo for using them on your Imperial Guard - theft is definitely a good thing). The sandbags are going to be bulking out the turret and other areas, as my plan is to try to simulate a Predator which has been fighting, been knocked out, patched up in a Forge and sent out onto the front lines again!

facmanpob Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Update on the Predator… nothing glued yet, working on the interior as it will be used as a Rhino sometimes… http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/works%20in%20progress/c8e9d037-eea7-49ec-81c7-692fdd3b4b3b_zpscf4526a8.jpg and also have made some progress with a modified turret… http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/works%20in%20progress/4d7aaac7-b4ce-4b5a-a6d7-5d7e52c2451b_zps74e7ee0a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Rage Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Looking good, the interior looks really nice and that turret conversion is awesome, look forward to seeing how it looks with the complete chassis. DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Very nice pob. What's your recipe for the mud and weathering on the floor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Very nice pob. What's your recipe for the mud and weathering on the floor?Many thanks The weathering is a version of the interior painting done on the Medusa in IA Masterclass Vol 1..... White basecoat light all over wash of Gryphonne Sepia Drybrush of white in patches, concentrating on the middle of the floor Sponge on a 2:1 mix of Vermin Brown:Chaos Black, concentrating mostly on the areas of high foot traffic (near the back door, side doors and control panel) add water to make a roughly 4:2:1 wash of Water:Brown:Black and then add that sparsely in recessed areas (i.e. at the ends of the floor runners and liberally across the diamond pattern floor of the door It's not quite finished yet, I'm going to do a very light drybrush of boltgun metal/leadbelcher over the diamond bit of the door, to indicate that its been worn down to the metal by heavy traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facmanpob Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Eh? The Predator is all built, but I turned it on its side for the photo as I'd just glued on the banner thingy to the side so I didn't want it to fall off :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Aaaaaah lol the pic really looks like you've put the 2 sides separate... Add to that you talk about "working on the main hull" like it was a separate thing... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facmanpob Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Ta very muchly... Rhino doors are complete (for when I don't want to use it as a Predator) http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/works%20in%20progress/80289A3E-70DB-4628-80CE-41E5E2FFC195-665-000001293A1B8D14_zpsf3f52db3.jpg And the rest of the bling is coming along nicely :) http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/works%20in%20progress/337E411C-5140-460C-9138-8F19CC1CD55A-665-0000012949107360_zpsb2f254c1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Rage Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Yes bling, always seemed to me that the DA have no interest in showing to much gold, they show off with robes, parchment, scrolls and seals. Very nice progress, really like the weathering inside and out and also the writing on that scroll on the door. DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Rhino doors are complete (for when I don't want to use it as a Predator) http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/works%20in%20progress/80289A3E-70DB-4628-80CE-41E5E2FFC195-665-000001293A1B8D14_zpsf3f52db3.jpg Nice doors - especially the text on that parchment.

facmanpob Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Thanks chaps! Now I've got to think of a name to write on the scroll on the front glacis plate.... Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 How about... Umbra Celeritate, Lux Educis or Populus Portitor? For anyone that knows latin, they're fairly dumb names - but that's not the point. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Very nice indeed. I do like the scroll-work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 That's looking really neat FMP, I also semi-copied brother Elmos' magnetising technique for the pred, used 3mmx3mmD magents for the turret weapon same as you, worked great. I also used the same size on the sponson dangly bits and very nearly wrecked them, only a cool head and a steady hand saved the day, I should have probably gotten some 2mm ones but couldn't find enyone only selling 6 and I'm a little short on wating cash atm. Anyway, this is not about me. Get the thing finished and get some pics up here for us to admire :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
