Febelcrofas Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Just got hold of my new Storm Talon kit a couple of days ago and have just managed to start thinking about getting it together. I really want to take my time and not overlook any details so I'm starting with the techmarine and the cockpit. I'm thinking lots of flashing dial and readouts. hopefully they will be visible through the clear plastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febelcrofas Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 So after an unusual couple of free hours last night I managed to get a good start on the cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odsox Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Oh wow, that's some nice detailing! Looking forward to the completed Spudtalon! Od. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Looks great so far. I made the same mistake I make almost every time I put a model(especailly a new model) with detailed interior together. So now I'm stick painting the inside of the cockpit fully assembled. I have almost finished, just detailing the marine. Hopefully I'll have more batteries for the camera by time I'm finished.

Febelcrofas Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks, I was wondering whether to paint the shoulder pads blue as its an ultramarine storm talon, I've never painted a techmarine before before so wasn't sure. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I normally piant them the techmarine red colour(currently using mechrite red, with a mix of blood/mechrite red to highlight) and then the tech symbol shoulder pad white then the trim red and the other is the standard black templar pad. And it would appear the one thing my missus forgot on her trip into the shops was more batteries. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razblood Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Codex scheme is for the Mechanicus pad to be the same red as the armour with metal trim whilst the Chapter badge pad is Chapter Colour with metal trim, so for Smurfs that would be Blue :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 That's some outstanding work on the interior! A lot of detail in there. I must get myself a Storm Talon sometime...in the meantime I'll be watching this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Febelcrofas Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks guys, anyway I've made some progress on mr techmarine. Haven't done his arms or shoulder pads yet but you get the idea. Cheers for the heads up what colour to paint the pads. Anyhoo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Febelcrofas Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Great work :mellow: Now I would suggest you use the tag instead of the tag as it really annoys me that you can't see the entire pic and enjoy your awesome work without scrolling ^_^ Thanks! Just worked it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Looking good, apart from your brighter red and the dark cockpit our painted switches and pannels layout is pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, let me know when you get some batteries! Can't wait to see yours. Had a look at your templar stuff earlier and was mightily impressed, well done sire!

Febelcrofas Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Techmarine and cockpit complete! Although after seeing how little of the cockpit is actually visible I'm a little bit gutted that all my effort shall be hidden. At least I have photographic evidence!

Kierdale Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Taking your time really does pay off. That looks great! It is a shame that he covers up a lot of the rear detail - almost tempting to stick some cockpit lights in there - but, as you say, you know it's there. B) Just remember to be careful with the glue when you come to putting the cockpit on. PVA won't risk misting it like plastic or super can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febelcrofas Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 With the cockpit done I've now assembled the main bulk and started base coating it. I'm not sure whether to dry brush it as I have done with all my tanks or edge highlight it like a dreadnought. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorns Templar Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The Techmarine looks really good, and it is a shame he hides the amazing detail work you did. I think the Stormtalon looks way more balanced with the las-cannons. All the others i've seen look awkward with the missile pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febelcrofas Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 So, slow progress so far however I have now base coated pretty much the whole body and I've started to begin washing and highlighting on the wing sections. I'm using the new citadel range for my blue on this and it's only the second time I have, the first being a single sternguard veteran who came out really well however I'm unsure about washing when it comes to my vehicles. I tried it on the wing sections but it wasn't great so I've re touched one, I think you can see it in the photo. Also begun highlighting on the first wing, it looks quite faint but I didn't want to over do it, I usually dry brush my vehicles but decided edge highlighting might be better on this. I'm still undecided which is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
