elmo Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Those the Scribor doors? There are a lot of us doing a mixed scheme... Cause tan and green just go together... They are from Chapterhouse Studios. I bought them with the "pimp my Raven kit". And you are right, bone and green just seems to work sooo well.

Tanhausen Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Really like the feeling of "brick" of the Land Raider...congrats :) And it is no easy feat being able to conceal the demolisher cannon...nicely done :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269458-elmos-new-project-landraider-ares-the-fun-begins/page/4/#findComment-3518876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 No pictures today unfortunately as there is not much new to see. The dozer blade has been filled with greenstuff now I need to wait until it has set before it can be sanded. I have highlighted the DA green with snot green and have started to paint some boltgun on the engine grills and some vents. The heavy flamer magnets have been moved higher and look more central now. Apart from that not much at all ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269458-elmos-new-project-landraider-ares-the-fun-begins/page/4/#findComment-3519182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Here is the latest project report..... The gaps in the dozer blade have been untidily filled with greenstuff and I will start to sand it down tomorrow so I will be able to spray it on the weekend. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0072_zpsf6d6f006.jpg The rams have been extended using plasticard and need sanding smooth. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0070_zps98de5d03.jpg The sponson doors have been painted http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0071_zpsce9b8199.jpg Extra rivets have been added to the Vindicator glacis plate to make it less boring. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0069_zps92520f05.jpg and the lenses have been painted along with the cupolas and the sponson targeters. The DA winged swords have been given an initial codex grey basing. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0068_zpsb47ca3f7.jpg At this stage it seems to take a long time to see results but it should start to come together as a whole by the middle of next week. I always paint sub assemblies first then bring it all together just before weathering.

The_Chaplain Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Looking good brother elmo. How are you painting the circular red lenses? They look quite snazzy!

Dark Rage Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Looking good, really like the hazard colours on the doors, do you plan to do a design on the dozer similar to the line breaker squad.

elmo Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 @The_Chaplain: I use this tutorial with Scab red, Blood red, Blazing orange, Black ink, Skull white finished off in a Gloss varnish. I can give you a step by step if you need it. @ Dark Rage: I plan to go all out and have an Angel of Death against a burning city. That should be fun to paint @ Larhendiel: Thanks. I tend to do all the doors like that and it is fairly simple. Boltgun with a black ink wash then edge highlight in silver. The yellow is Golden yellow with a burnt umber wash and scratches marked on in pencil.

The_Chaplain Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks elmo, I'll give that a try when I get around to painting. Might experiment with a thinned humbrol clear red coat instead of the gloss varnish on a lens too.

elmo Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks facmanpob - steal away ;) Another evening of randomly slapping paint onto bits of plastic and I have ended up with... Both weapon sponsons are now complete http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0081_zps0e0aaffd.jpg Work is in progress on the DA doors and extra armour - I am going to go for stone for most of the DA symbols as I prefer it to bleached bone. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0080_zpsb0f47706.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0082_zpsc1ed0c7f.jpg The assault cannon mount is just about done http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0083_zps84d10a5b.jpg The dozer blade has been sanded down and any uneven sections will now become weathered or battle damaged during the painting a it was too fiddly to get it perfectly smooth. Also added more rivets. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0076_zpsad0bab06.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0077_zps42a2149a.jpg And finally I have started on the glacis plate http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0084_zps4f8fd736.jpg Slowly but surely progress is being made :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269458-elmos-new-project-landraider-ares-the-fun-begins/page/4/#findComment-3521076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Very nice brother! And I love your crusader. That's one tank I've never tackled, not even primed. (tanks in general I tend to shy away from).

elmo Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks EPK Here is the end of week update - the plan is to spray the dozer blade over the weekend then get to work on the weapons and finish off the body next week. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0086_zpsd2912c53.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0088_zps94cda34e.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0087_zps36044fc2.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0089_zpsf1b6a422.jpg I plan 2 more weeks before it will be ready - the dozer blade art may take a while ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269458-elmos-new-project-landraider-ares-the-fun-begins/page/4/#findComment-3522162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Looks fantastic so far Elmo! I can only imagine the craziness of the dozer blade artwork that will eat so much time considering how quickly youve progressed to this point!

Bryan Blaire Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Elmo, I want to hate you so much for how much you've been able to do on this, but I can't. It's fantastic, you magnetizing fiend! Really like the appearance you've achieved, the adjusted dozer blade looks great and the magnetized glacis plate... Dude, I barely have Terminators sticky-tacked together! Looking forward to some awesome dozer blade freehand!

Interrogator Stobz Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Very very nice tank Mr Elmo Sir, I'm loving the overall look with the bone sections, also the attention to details such as the cooling fans from the vindie kit added to the rear. Awesome work and a great inspiration/tutorial. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269458-elmos-new-project-landraider-ares-the-fun-begins/page/4/#findComment-3522251 Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 @The_Chaplain: Thanks - I will explain my vision of the artwork in a moment... @Bryan: But they are awesome termies... @Bobz:: Thanks verily much but I have to admit that the bone bits came from the datasheet picture but as I have previously wrote, green and bone just goes together sooo well. @Crusader_Weber: It's a manly man thing Master of the Forge now Master of the Ironwing - its a dream come true @Aridene: Thanks Brother It is only fair to let you all into my plan for the dozer art which I have been in secret discussion with Master Avoghai about (Ssshhhhh ) My plan is to have a city in flames: Imagine if you will the background - shattered Gothic ruins in front of a dark brooding sky. In the middle distance the ruins give way to fire whilst in the foreground the Angel of Death stalks with sword unsheathed, his dark cowl seeming to stare into your very soul. Are You Pure, Are you Strong, Are you Unforgiven? Now just have to work out how to paint it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269458-elmos-new-project-landraider-ares-the-fun-begins/page/4/#findComment-3522850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Good work on the conversion brother but it's the epic siege shield that we're all waiting for now. No pressure. You don't appear to have painted the vents you took from the vindicator kit. Are they separate from the rest of the hull?

elmo Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 They are going to be left loose for the transformation into the Crusader/Redeemer and I will be spraying them with the siege shield. I am feeling the pressure to work wonders on the siege shield already Damn you brain! Think before committing yourself to things in writing! If I don't pull this off now I will be thrown from The Rock in ignominy. Cell 42 will not be enough for a transgression of this scale!

The_Chaplain Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Now just have to work out how to paint it Go on google, find some images of burning cities, imperial buildings and angels of death that inspire you. Then find a reference picture for skeletal hands, and hands pointing swords. After that, brew a couple pots of coffee/grab a case of something caffeinated, put on some heavy metal or whatever it is you listen to while working and rock the :cuss out of this piece! At least you vowed just to paint it, and decided against making it a sculpture/relief piece!

elmo Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 I have been searching the web and have found this but I plan to have a more 3/4 side profile with the sword held above the head, parallel to the ground and some wings. http://files.myopera.com/ImUglyPiggy/albums/4733042/deadnight_messengers_of_death__big.jpg And I will be doing the flames along the same idea as my RW standard http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/icon_zps66cdd4f4.jpg And these are nice looking ruins http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/images/localworld/ugc-images/276270/Article/images/20056897/5471007-large.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269458-elmos-new-project-landraider-ares-the-fun-begins/page/4/#findComment-3523061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
