WarriorFish Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Looks like it was time well spent! I'm sure you can get the rest done quickly to top off an excellent model :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm in love with the wind-weathering effect! Wonder if it's possible to go back and do this on a fully highlighted/drybrushed Vendetta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm sure it is Vel, that's the good thing about weathering as there's almost always scope to add it on previously completed models :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hi Id definitely do this after its been highlighted. What Id do is spray it with purity seal first. That way if you do it and it looks bad you can just wipe off the oils and reset it back to how you started WarriorFish and The Ergonomic Enginseer 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Laser and assorted lenses done..... Im going to give it an oil weather on the rivets tonight then One pilot and two door gunners to go (lets not mention the guys on the base) Edited March 25, 2020 by UltraRich Major_Gilbear, Toxichobbit, librisrouge and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Thanks Guys Heres a quick update Ive finished the door gunners and given the outside its final weather. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4984_zpsaqjakomt.jpg Im really pleased with how this is now looking http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4986_zpslxf5s64z.jpg Im not going to get the minis done on the base in time but Id class this as done as the base is complete. So I'll take them off for the ETL http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4988_zpso1vktzsl.jpg However here is whats planned Gunner looking down his scope doesnt see the ripper sneaking up http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4989_zpssvwlavum.jpg Injured sarg shouts a warning while blasting one coming over the wall. Im also going to put a pile of grenades next to him as a last stand http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4990_zpstsipxjon.jpg MithrilForge, our_baz, Toxichobbit and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Great stuff, you should be pleased this is a fantastic model! Head over to the ETL strategium to declare it complete once you've got the gunners in :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I really love that base diorama on top of the excellent model! Even the eyes on your door gunners are excellent. Looking forward to the finished product! UltraRich 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Excellent work all round. The paint scheme , the weathering and that base... For some reason I get a mental picture of the face huggers from Aliens attacking the Colonial Marines UltraRich 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Thanks again guys. Encouragement is a good thing! Nearly final update....... Door gunners and heavy bolters done Ive actually managed to do this so the gunner is glued to the bolter but not the floor so you can position him around the cabin http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4992_zpsqx2k6xec.jpg Just need to do a bit of highlighting on the gunners arm that Ive just washed http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4995_zpsbtrbxcb9.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4996_zpswac8iotm.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_4997_zpskyldwdpx.jpg WarriorFish, librisrouge, nismogrendel and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 That is a ridiculously awesome weathering job on what would otherwise be a really boring paint job (on account of the bog-standard shade of green on the aircraft, screaming "this was the model they used for the webstore photo") Also, the first painted interior I've seen (ahem, I have four valks...doors glued shut, lol), and a damned fine job of painting that!

Toxichobbit Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Really nice Rich. I think after the Baneblade I might dig out the half assembled Valkyrie I've got and follow your example :). walter h, WarriorFish and UltraRich 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 This is your WIP topic so you can spam it with as many great pictures as you like Really good work here, the whole model comes together neatly with detail to be found wherever you look. I will be looking at your weathering techniques when I get some time to see about replicating it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW1 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Tutorial would be amazing for the weathering. I think I'm also joining the queue to give it a go. ;) WarriorFish 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
