our_baz Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Thought it might be considered a dereliction of duty if I failed to get a WIP up and running for my ETL vow(s).First 9 grunts completed More foot slogging to continue over the weekend. For the Emperor.

Ldorte Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Like that colour scheme, very different....in a good way :D our_baz 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291066-e-company-of-the-7th-levalloisian-life-guards-wip/#findComment-3686884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I love it, you can tell right away that they're the Life Guards. Just make sure you give them all the suitable pomp and ceremony :P I'm keen to see all your troopers lined up in their fine colours, keep that paint brush in hand! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291066-e-company-of-the-7th-levalloisian-life-guards-wip/#findComment-3686897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Paen Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Love 'em. Will they get support in the form of a similarly painted Valkyrie? our_baz 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291066-e-company-of-the-7th-levalloisian-life-guards-wip/#findComment-3687066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Brother Paen, with the armoured support i've gone for an urban-camo dazzle colour scheme http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287241-urban-dazzle-camo-wip/?p=3602925. Not sure what to do with the air support. Was possibly thinking of modelling the Valkyrie colour scheme similar to to the P57's ran by the 8th Air Force during WW2, i.e brushed aluminium with splashes of colour on tail, wing tips and tail. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291066-e-company-of-the-7th-levalloisian-life-guards-wip/#findComment-3693295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Made some headway last night, seeing all these completed vows has shamed me somewhat. 5 more grunts in various stages of completeness.  WarriorFish and Kierdale 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291066-e-company-of-the-7th-levalloisian-life-guards-wip/#findComment-3694378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I know what you mean, if only I didn't have to work :lol: Nice to see a progress shot of how you do the models, keep plugging away as I want to see more Life Guards painted ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291066-e-company-of-the-7th-levalloisian-life-guards-wip/#findComment-3694416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Progress has been painful over the last couple of weeks, (work/life/the distraction of a load of old metal models that I found in my parents loft which I'm currently stripping at work) hence no update in a while. Â Photo showing work completed over the weekend. Will add further updates from this week in due course.

WarriorFish Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Good to see you're finding the time, I know how that feels!

Commander_Moustache Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I love the clear colour scheme.

our_baz Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Thats what I was going for. The design cue I took for the regiment came from the household cavalry. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291066-e-company-of-the-7th-levalloisian-life-guards-wip/#findComment-3741554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I too love the colour scheme. One thing I would recommend is drilling weapon barrels. It really makes them look better.

our_baz Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks for the positive comments. Picked up a drill last weekend (thanks for the advice tho! ), it made a big difference on the commie model. Just plain forgot to do it on the flamers before I started painting.

our_baz Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 #Update 10/7/14# CCS complete. Thanks to the advice of Kierdale drilled out the flamers makes a big difference thanks for the advice. 1/3 of first HWT done just need to base. (Just released I glued the backpack on upside down ) Â More pictures to follow once sufficent progress is made.

our_baz Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thanks for the encouragement! Painting all these layers of red is waring a touch thin, thats what I get for using a old bottle of blood red I suppose.

WarriorFish Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It's worth it though, imagine how you'd feel if you rushed it and they looked rubbish. The hard way is how the Guard do it; no cheapness and no quitting! :P our_baz and Kierdale 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291066-e-company-of-the-7th-levalloisian-life-guards-wip/#findComment-3752539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Been a while since I updated my WIP (might be a while before my next one too as I need to show my Sallies some love). Since the ETL actually...anyway been slow going but finished some armour to add to the grunts above. The camo is so much easier to paint on larger surfaces, the sentinel took an age to paint for its size. Happy to hear the thoughts of you guys  elmo, WarriorFish, Kierdale and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291066-e-company-of-the-7th-levalloisian-life-guards-wip/#findComment-3833121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Good to see you back baz and bearing gifts - the best kind of gift too in tanks ;) The scheme looks great on the Sentinel, so you'll have to paint some more up!
