Boomkapow Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Boomkapow answers the call of E TENEBRAE LUX II and vows to complete Ten Tactical Marines (One with Plasma Gun and Sargent with Combi-Plasma) and a drop pod with deathwind launcher from Codex: Blood Angels for a total value 245 points on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to the Blood Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year. Hopefully some pics will appear in the future!

Taranis Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Looking forward to it. Now is the time for waging paint war and claiming the rewards! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275615-boomkapows-etl-vow/#findComment-3373697 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are orange highlights on them, but they are subtle so you can't see them in the picks. FYI.

Boomkapow Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 The second part of my vow has begun. The drop pod. Here it is in it;s mid-assembly: http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z384/boomkapow1/Photoon2013-06-12at2153.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275615-boomkapows-etl-vow/#findComment-3393060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Looking good with the assembly. Have you made other pods? I hope it fits well. My 3 pods were a pain to get right. I'm interested in learning any tips/ideas on doing it easier. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275615-boomkapows-etl-vow/#findComment-3393093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomkapow Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Its a bit tough to close all the doors, so I will probably magnetize them. Other than that yea, I basically made it in three parts so I don't miss anything while painting.

Taranis Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Good to hear. I made mine in one go and the result was decent. It's very difficult to assemble 100% right. With my liberal application of paint its no problem to cover it all. I have room for improvement. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275615-boomkapows-etl-vow/#findComment-3393400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomkapow Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Update. Here is the pod with the inside mapping device and harnesses done; as well as the bottom and doors have their basecoat (minus 1 door as shown in the pic). http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z384/boomkapow1/drop_pod_progress.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275615-boomkapows-etl-vow/#findComment-3397700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassMattJaxx Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Marines are cool, your white is particularly crisp! Nice detail on the drop pod console too! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275615-boomkapows-etl-vow/#findComment-3398009 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomkapow Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 I am almost done! I should be done tomorrow. Pics to follow. BTW: The pod is harder to get together now that there is a few layers of paint on it :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275615-boomkapows-etl-vow/#findComment-3402792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomkapow Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z384/boomkapow1/SR1.jpg Here she it. I'm pretty proud of it. Like a lot of my pics, the orange highlights don't really show up...but they're there. Let me know if there's anything I can do to make it look better. Thanks!

Gorthag Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Looks good, maybe it's the angle but you might consider using some decals, adornment (purity seals, etc.?) or battle damage/scratches? From the front it looks sharp but a bit plain, some extra detail might give it some more imposing character.

Boomkapow Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Thanks for the advice. I think you're right. I'll have to find something that fits that area. Update: How's this? Better? http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z384/boomkapow1/Photoon2013-07-11at0031.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275615-boomkapows-etl-vow/#findComment-3410450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
