DarkAngelDelight Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 so, i painted this beast up for my friend, its basically finished, just thought i'd ask what your opinions are on applying damage/ scorch marks? i'd obviously put some around the vents but what about the wings? how/where could i apply scratches or some sort of atmospheric entry burns, like the ones you get on the space shuttles. c & c appreciated!

joghurtberserker Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 very good work, but in my opinion it looks toylike because there isn't any scratch or irregularity in your paintjob, too perfect to be true. I would suugest to apply some scratches and burn marks along the front edges of the wings and especially the ramp. when it opens and touches the ground i would say its dirty and worne but still i know how difficult it is to paint big plain areas, you did a very good job there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeller Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 That looks really nice man. The red and white striping is great. I don't mind the factory finish since all my vehicles are like that save for a few misfortunate exceptions. Anywho, I don't care for the 4 color combo that's going on with the missile launcher panel. It just looks to colorful though I understand the reasoning. Different missile types and different sensor lenses or what not. Great job though! Consider adding washes or grime to the inside of the ramps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feuer_faust Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Any leading edges (Front and bottom for this guy) are the best for weathering to be applied. Look up on google how people weather their World War II planes for some good ideas, as well. I would reccommend that you apply effects sparsely at first on the places you want worn, and gradually add density until the proper look is achieved. While heavily-scarred aircraft is realistic (especially in World War II), it usually doesn't look as good. EDIT: I forgot to mention that I really like those clean whites and reds there! Very nice, and fairly difficult for me, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelDelight Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 so taking into consideration what other have said (and obviously asking my friend, to how much extent he'd like the battle damage to go) here's the results. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamv6 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Great work, really nice paint scheme. i am more a fan of subtle damage rather than full on grubby armour! I agree entirely. IMHO, Greyknights are the elite, and as such do not ride around in battle scarred vehicles. After each successful incursion we take them back to Titan and let the techmarines make them all shiny again ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAngelDelight Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 thanks ff i tried my hand at weathering powders, but i can't get my head around how to use them and keep them on the model without blowing half of the work off with the purity seal!! i basically drybrushed it, but then slightly dampened the brush and worked the burn marks out, moving away from the source to create a semblance of motion. the chipe were done with the old fashioned sponge dabbing technique, followed by a highlight at the bottom of the chips to give it a 3D effect.

DarkAngelDelight Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Great weathering tutorials: http://fichtenfoo.net/blog/model-tutorials-and-in-progs/ cheers for that! thats really quite useful. should prove extra useful when i start my dark angels when the new book is out.... if i ike it lol Ummm...you do know the tailfin is on back to front? hahahaha yeah i knew that after i had primered it, i saw several at my FLGS and thought 'it looks correct, but why are the tail fins on the wrong way round??' but my friend didn't really mind seeing as it seems to be a common mistake. i think if i ever had one i'd re work the tail fins so that they face the back when i put the tail on that way round. looks much better imo. thanks for making it obvious! :) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
