geektom Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks! Cleanly painting the line between the purple and the gray on the fenders was a challenge-- I kept over-correcting each time I tried to clean it up: over the line with purple, then over the line with the gray, then over the line with the purple again... lol, crazy making! I am considering gluing a very thin strip of plasticard at the transition line-- I will see which one is a bigger pain in the booty. Sounds silly, but would give me a very clean line to highlight. Any suggestions on weathering/damaging? I am brand new to 40K-- when I first got into WHFB, every SM model I saw in White Dwarf was clean and bright and looked like it just rolled off the assembly line. http://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/a/baf5f2e54c6b17d5c5d39aecadfa1272.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostMalone Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I have to ask a serious question... Are you using the missile launchers and backpacks. I'm hunting them down and refuse to pay $60 Aus for 2 pieces. :D Please say there not in use please :S :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geektom Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Lol, not the ideal rug to drop dark gray SM bits on... can you see the torso I dropped in all that pattern and dog hair? http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n60/geektom/photo11_zps7247f8bd.jpg MordentHex and GhostMalone 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 That was quite easy, actually. Maybe I've done this sort of thing waaay too much... The_Chaplain 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geektom Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 You guys are clearly experts! I am embarrassed to say how long it took me. There is a head down there, too- I finally gave up and clipped another one off the sprue, lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 That is a seriously nice colour scheme you've got there. Really nice mix of colours :tu: I'll be following this quite keenly! geektom 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Very nice. I tried a purple/white/yellow scheme once a long time ago not too dissimilar to this and failed utterly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Dude I'm still sat here trying to find the head in that picture of the rug. Talk about OCD, you coulda given me a trigger warning. ;) Very bold and proud colour scheme, looking forward to seeing these guys en masse. I really like your test biker. Keep it up man :) geektom 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geektom Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Very nice. I tried a purple/white/yellow scheme once a long time ago not too dissimilar to this and failed utterly. Thanks! it is actually a light gray, but it does totally look like white in the pictures. I almost went with a darker gray just to make sure it *didn't* look white-- just didn't look the same, though. Trying to decide what to do with future transports, ie, how much purple vs. how much gray. I like the way the bike came out, so I will probably stick with something similar... I have never painted anything larger than a Knight on a horse, so I am a little intimidated by doing rhinos and tanks! Dude I'm still sat here trying to find the head in that picture of the rug. Talk about OCD, you coulda given me a trigger warning. Very bold and proud colour scheme, looking forward to seeing these guys en masse. I really like your test biker. Keep it up man lol, me too! I started smacking the floor seeing if I could make it jump-- all I did was make myself sneeze! My wife just rolled her eyes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostMalone Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I've always felt the corzius on chaplains was out of place size wise to smash into someone's skull it's like the equivelant of me using a 100mm conduit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geektom Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Yes, I would agree- the handles always seem too thick. I assume with power armor they don't have to worry about grip, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachymike123 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 very nice colour scheme geektom. usually i see colour schemes that are either mono colour or quite dark in my usual group but this scheme is very bold and striking. love the plasticard detail too. as a former scars successor player (who had a black and red colour scheme ) i feel the khan would be very proud of these. looking forward to seeing more geektom 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaplainmikey Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 That's a seriously cool and unique colour scheme. I really liked the Terminator but I think the colours work beautifully on the Biker! Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
