Luther's W.o.S.P. (Works of Slow Progress)

[Guest]

Man 27 pages of awesomeness :P

 

Can I ask thou how did you do the Inceptors bases? 

[Brother Lunkhead]

Truly excellent work brother I am quite jealous of inspired by your modelling and painting skills.

Thanks both!

The bases themselves are resin (from Dragon Forge). I used 2mm brass rod to attach the models, having drilled holes in their backs and the bases.

Consider that idea and the myriad of ideas in here stolen :P

[LutherMax]

Go for it!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Beautiful work on the Vindicator.

[hushrong]

That vindicator is stunning, bud!

Hey Luther, I may have missed it, but if you don't mind me asking - what led you to move on from your Blood Angels?

 

That being said, love seeing all your work and it never fails to inspire!

To be honest it was just a weird feeling I got when 8th dropped and the Primaris stuff was released. I'd been collecting Blood Angels for years and years and just felt it was time to try something different.

 

But as you can see, I still go back every now and then

[bevulf]

Just beautiful my dear friend ! I haven't checked your work for months and now after seeing so many wonderful models all I can say is simple WOW. It is always a great pleasure to come back and admire your work.

[LutherMax]

Thanks very much bevulf!

 

 

And now, without much further ado, the Space Marine equivalent of the US Army Bradley IFV.

 

This was a funny project. It went from nothing to almost finished in four hours, and then I spent probably three times that long detailing and weathering it – but at the same time trying to keep the weathering subtle. I figured it would be good practice for the relic vehicles I will be painting in the future.

Stunning weathering work! Love all your Blood Angels stuff as well.

Apologies if this has already been asked, I may have missed it if it has. Could you give me a run down on how you apply your decals? I take it you use micro sol and micro set? Do you first apply them on a gloss painted surface then then hit the model with a matte varnish once complete? There is no sign of sheen from the decals, which looks great!

Fantastic, thanks LutherMax. That blog answerd all my questions. Looking forward to seeing more of your work and hope you get round to doing more Blood Angels in the future.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Repulsor looks great!

[hushrong]

She is a stunner!

 

And thanks for that link about microset and microsol usage for applying decals. Just bought that stuff myself and want to put it to use. Every bit of information and pointers helps!

[Dantay VI]

How good is the microset and microsol on home made decals?

 

I am going to do some diy decals and worried that they will damage them more than fix them down.

[LutherMax]

Thanks guys!

Do you mean inkjet transfer paper? I don’t have much experience with it. Microset/sol are absolutely fine with GW/FW sheets for sure. I find they soften Fallout Hobbies sheets a bit too much but still workable. May be a bit strong for inkjet paper but best to do a test...

[Dantay VI]

Yes, I am going to try inkjet paper.

 

I could get access to a laserjet printer at work, but as it is a communal printer, always scared somebody will print their work stuff on my expensive paper :D

 

Will give it a test, cheers.

 

If too strong can the microsol/set be diluted down, or is it best just to use it for smoothing the decal out only?

[LutherMax]

Probably best to use water to lift the decal from the backing. Put some Microset on the model where it will go - and yes use some to smooth it out. But don’t soak the decal in it.

[golfdeltafoxtrot]

I've used Microsol/Set on transfers I printed at home on my inkjet, no problems whatsoever. They take a little longer to soak off the paper and they don't move around on the model as smoothly as the GW transfers, but I've had no issues with ink running or anything.

Congrats with featuring on Warhammer Community! They are a thing of beauty

Well deserved Luther. It's always a pleasure to see your finished models - although it does make me feel somewhat inadequate in my own efforts... 

[Indefragable]

WELL DESERVED appearance on Warhammer Community!

[thewarriorhunter]

I saw your feature on the Warhammer Community site and then was told your a frater! Really stunning work and I love your Shrike conversion.
