WarriorFish Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Good to see work starting in earnest and great work Kilo, you sneaked that in quick! :D Congratulations on the first completion :tu: I've started work on my Chimera, but I'll be waiting until it is ready for priming before posting the WIP :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForlorneRaven Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I've got bad news with regards to my chimera...I lost the turret, think I just earned myself service in a Penal Battalion! I'd be happy to still carry on turret-less but totally understand it this disqualifies me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to still carry on turret-less but totally understand it this disqualifies me.:unsure: That's most unfortunate! What are your plans for the model? Buying a. FW heavy flamer turret? If you can scratchbuild something -even temporary- to go where the turret should be, you could still complete the event. Using a spare turret cupola attached (not glued ;) ) and having a guardsman standing there with a heavy flamer in hand, for example ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForlorneRaven Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm actually thinking of buying a Forgeworld Autocannon turret, the model has the turret assembly set back. Kind of like a Warrior IFV.It's a long running conversion project of mine to provide armour support for my elysians/stormtroopers.Hopefully the picture I eventually get round to uploading will make all clear May make it a bit of squeeze to fit in with deadline but life in the guard ain't supposed to be easy! (I'm currently writing my thesis for university. 10,000/15,000 words at the moment.Deadline is 8th of September, plenty of time!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 FLGS was having an awesome sale so I picked myself up a Prime. Since I want to make sure the inside is painted as well, I'm painting and assembling it at the same time. So here's my official vow!

WarriorFish Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 There's plenty of time to finish the challenge Forlorne so don't sacrifice anything for it ;) I got the HF FW turret out I've had for years but ironically I'm not going to use it now. I might just paint it up anyway so it can be put on any Chimera :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I won't be getting my Vendetta 'til Sunday, but it's fully-assembled and awaiting paint, so there's that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Great! Another flyer, I didn't expect to see quite so many. Looks like the treads might need reinforcement at this rate ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I should be receiving a Vendetta tomorrow myself. The flyboys might dominate this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviar Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The progress has been kinda slow this week, hopefully it will pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Nice looking interior Sviar! I always debate whether or not to paint mine. Since I glued the doors shut on my Valk, I decided not too. The next one I may do the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It's worth doing, there aren't too many details to paint inside and having the doors open is cool I've done some work and my Chimera is about ready for the WIP shot Need to check a few things though, had to do a bit of bodging and I won't be able to see if it worked until the glue has set. If not I should be able to pin it, either way I'll have it posted before the day is out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'll be starting my Valk tonight or tomorrow... it's going to be a beauty I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I don't doubt that Here is my WIP shot, I reckon it'll be ok without pinning but I'll see how it goes. I'll create a WIP topic for this as I have a couple more pictures to show all the extras edit: link to WIP topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s36/coffeegrunt/temporary-87.jpg One Vendetta Gunship hot 'n' primed! I hereby vow to complete this Vendetta before the specified time. Failure to do so will bring dishonour to my regiment of filthy xeno-lovers, and deliver a pox unto my cattle.

Kierdale Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yes you do, but you've plenty of other work to be doing first :PYeeees.On the one hand I've been doing models for events a lot this year and want to have a break from that. On the other hand it wouldn't be that hard to make a board for my IG. The models themselves are done (if just add the riders once they're painted) I just need to make the board. Would be a good chance to show off the full army... Then again I'd need to find a new way to do the 'mud' base. I usually paint the bases a beige and then give them one or two coats of Agrax Earthshade. I actually did that for the 20x20 diorama and went through 90% of a new pot of Agrax :( Not somehow I could repeat on a larger diorama base. Perhaps choose a brown closer to the colour of Agrax, then drybrush the beige for a similar finish... Anyway, enough thinking aloud! :D The bad weather's gone so I should be able to undercoat the riders tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
