elmo Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 This is going slow :( I will have to pull my finger out on this one to have it done by the end of Sept - don't want to fail at the first hurdle.... The Vindi is now glued together and a top coat of DA green is going on tonight. Interior has been painted. Tracks are painted but not yet glued on. The Siege Shield caused a few miss-starts but it fits now - should be starting on the wings either tonight or next week. Loads still to do and then all the detailing - bggr! Progress photos tomorrow - wish me luck :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/#findComment-3174607 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any particular trick you use? Airbrush, patience, insane watering down? Method and reciple please! It is fairly simple.... Prime with matt black spray (eg Chaos Black) Base with Army Painter Angel Green spray 2 or 3 coats of watered down DA green Highlight in Goblin Green Paint the recesses/panel lines with Black ink (I water mine down about 60:40) Tidy up the green as required :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/#findComment-3180771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabbadoo Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Seeing the interior, which looks great, does remind me that Forgeworld really needs to do interior kits for the Vindicator, Predator, and Whirlwind.

elmo Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 @ shabbadoo: I agree - it would give the interiors a little more detail but I would have had to have added another week to paint it as well :D @ Stobz: no apology required - RL gets in the way. :( @ bevulf & Captain Semper : not long to wait now.... Last night it all seemed to come together at once and after a few long evenings (painting till midnight - damn you Shadow Guard :) ) I can declare my Vow for September complete (as vowed - I still need to paint the Techmarine but he is not part of my vow) The 2 Siege Shields took an evening to match up but I am quietly pleased with the result :P I will be uploading the piccies this afternoon as my boss frowns on me using the work computer to do this :ph34r: Even managed to do a couple of improvements/edits to the first Vindicator and I will upload the new piccies of this one as well.
