[TA]Typher Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Looks like he parked in a bad neighborhood. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282957-finally-started-on-a-proper-model-wip/#findComment-3515717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 LOL...Tires! I knew I was forgetting something! Actually, I heard that orange paint on the engine block makes you so fast you don't even need tires... [TA]   Typher, on 07 Nov 2013 - 15:02, said: Looks like he parked in a bad neighborhood.  Lol..yeah, they stole most of his bike, and 3/4 of his body! Funny you should mention the bad neighborhood...I wonder...how do you put spinners, limo tint, and neon lights on a bike? For a sound system, I guess a shoulder mounted ghetto blaster? Hell, that even sounds like a weapon!

march10k Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Happy now? $R%^* wheels...now, about arms and a torso, handlebars, a fairing, bolters....crap, I have a lot of work to do!

Major_Gilbear Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 For a sound system, I guess a shoulder mounted ghetto blaster? Hell, that even sounds like a weapon! I can see a Chaplain on a bike like that... Probably playing "Die Walküre" in High Gothic at full volume too! As for the painting, it looks very neat and tidy - except for the robe, which stands out (to me) as being quite messy by comparison. I realise that it's drybrushed, but when everything else is clean and smooth, it does contrast a bit. Anyway, thanks for sharing the WIPs, and am looking forward to seeing the finished article.

march10k Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Actually, the exhaust pipes are a bit rough, too, pipes are a pain to keep soot-free...The funny thing is, the robes took more work (6 steps, not counting primer) than anything else to get them the way they are. Everything else is either bare metal or it's painted...the robes are supposed to be cloth, they should have a less pristine look to them, as befits hemp, versus sheet metal. I think they'll stand out less once the upper torso (with the rest of the robe, and the bare face) is attached and the distressed leather bags are mounted on the back of the bike. Anyway, it's getting late here, more pics tomorrow!

march10k Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Well, this is going much faster than I anticipated...He still needs a shoulder pad and the guns have nothing but primer on them, but we're getting there! I still need to choose some baggage for the back of the bike, too...and decide whether or not to give him a banner. Those do look better on bikes than on infantry...

Pyro X Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I really like that axe. Did you use washes or was it with normal paints? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282957-finally-started-on-a-proper-model-wip/#findComment-3516586 Share on other sites More sharing options...

march10k Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Well, the first of three bags on the back is done...as is are the missing shoulder pad and the bolters (well...the bolters need highlighting)...and I've decided to go ahead and give him a banner.

Pyro X Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I live in Sparta now. We went to river cities but john passed away last year so we go to reedsburg now.

march10k Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 So sad to hear about John's passing. He was a good man who genuinely enjoyed running his FLGS, even if he didn't game himself. I suppose that was the end of RCH, then. I never heard of reedsburg.

Pyro X Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Ites 70minutes from Sparta on the way to Madison. Its a nice shop and lots of PHP play 40k and we are teaching the warhammer fantasy as well. Are you still I the area?

march10k Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 No, I'm in Tokyo, soon to be in the KC area. I'm in the Army, I worked at Fort McCoy for a little under two years a while back. 70 minutes is...rough. I would suggest a store across the street from the UW campus in Eau Claire, but the one time I went there, the stench of BO from unwashed freshmen was overpowering even in the parking lot...inside the store, it was unbearable. The clerk was nice, though, and it had plenty of space.

Pyro X Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Ug, BO can break a store lol. The guy from reedsburg was marines. My wife and I are army as well and she works on McCoy too.

march10k Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Finished, with the caveat that I don't have my basing supplies with me in Japan, so that won't happen till January: That just leaves me with two sergeants (because of power sword requirement), three knights, and a crusader to finish by Adepticon...and, if I finish that, I have two tactical terminator squads from 1998 that could be replaced with something painted less than 15 years ago (ergo, to a higher standard!) /edit/ Ah, crap...I just noticed that the bolters aren't highlighted!

Barnie25 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 How many of you people paint the model piece by piece instead of glueing it all together and then paint the model?

march10k Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Peer Review Failure!!!! LOL...okay, it's my fault, but you didn't notice, either! Something was missing: Notice that the bolters got their highlights? LOL /edit/ Oh, year...the bike IC in my avatar came off of his base...so I confiscated it for the libby...the chappy gets to wait for a new one until I get back to the good ole US of A.
