Artemid Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I think you've struck upon a winning combination there Elmo! I'm very excited to see how those all come together. Cap'm Heckus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still a bit of GSing to do before painting begins but I am giving myself a deadline of 9th Mar for added pressure ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Good luck Elmo! The Libby looks promising! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Thanks Capt. S. He wont be anything really special - blue Libby on RW bike with power sword and a bit of DA bling. I still have another 2 Chaplains and 1 Libby from the DV box to convert into something this year (Chaplain on a bike?) Saving my self for a HH squad and the dreaded LR Ares but I am too scared to open those boxes at the minute plus I have 2 IG command squads to do this month. I really nead a holiday Edited March 2, 2013 by Elmo9141 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Here is the WIP of the Libby on his metal steed - most of the hard work is done but the fine details need completing. You get the idea where I'm going with him :) http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P3080006_zps35b531ba.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P3080004_zps2fac2693.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P3080003_zpsb4ef5ad3.jpg What do you guys think?

elmo Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thanks - but you really should not sell your soul. A kidney may be enough He should be all done by next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) After a focused effort I can now declare that this model is complete and, with it, my 6th vow Photos on Friday as usual. Next up after finishing off some more of my meatsack IG will be either the.... Nephilim or the Landraider Ares any preferences? I can't decide!

Brother Captain Lucian Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Ares dammit Ares! :) Also how did you do the seals and robe? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Also how did you do the seals and robe? The bike and legs are from the DV RW Sgt along with the right arm The torso, powerpack and left arm are from the DV Librarian. The Libby was cut just above the belt and after a little trimming it was glued onto the bike/legs making sure that the position matched up with the Sgts arm. Once the glue was dried I then merged the robes together and filled the gap between the body and the right arm with greenstuff. The seals where already on the model so it was a fairly simple conversion (especially this is my first time using gs ) I have added a small amount of DA bling to the model and you will be able to see it when I upload the photos tomorrow. If you meant colour wise then it was: Robes... Over the black base multiple layers of watered down bleached bone until you get good coverage Devlin mud wash dry brush bleached bone through to a final dry-drybrush of white one after the other using the same brush without cleaning it inbetween as I have found this gives a nice shade gradient as you go along. Seals.... Scab red watered down black ink/wash Scab red on the raised part with a final blood red highlight and the trick is -- gloss varnish to give the shiney wax look. At the moment it looks like the LR is winning 2:1 but you still have time to vote...... will only be starting after Easter.

Was actually how you painted it, but the other bit was good info none the less :) Damm that sounds simple, i have like 4-5 layers for papers and yours end up better looking.. And gloss.. i forgot i even had that around - thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) No problem - glad to help... And I am a firm believer in simple! EDIT: As the LPC and PtR are coming to an end I have just renamed this thread to be a general WIP. I will try to keep all my upcoming WIPs here and then post Completed Photos to my Dark Angels thread so I will not have so many threads going at the same time. Also many many thanks to both SG and Captain Semper for their hard work over the last few months. Edited March 16, 2013 by Elmo9141 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
