Macbrown Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 So I've started painting again recently, as my sons have now discovered this consuming hobby. In order to keep myself motivated I've decided to post my progress on here, as I've been lurking for long enough. My aim is only to be able to have some table standard figures so me and my boys can start playing. We did try it out recently on the kitchen table with bare plastics, a flowery table cloth and maybe some tins as scenery/terrain. The conclusion was that "it wasn't as good as the shop." So here are a few few grainy photos of my Space Smurfs, and a Storm Eagle that I started to build recently too. His face does have some shading, this photo just doesn't show it!

Olis Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Welcome, first and foremost, to the forums, brother. Good to see that you wish to motivate yourself by uploading pictures and making a plog here. And speaking of pictures - you appear to have a decent tabletop standard and clearly you're not afraid to represent battle damage. Kudos. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptus-Alaska Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Wow, those are nice. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astartes-ULTRA Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I particularly like the attention you've paid towards the weathering on that dread, Space Marines don't just stroll out of the paint shop and onto the battlefield :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macbrown Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Cheers for the positive comments. The battle damage on the dread seemed pretty straightforward. Quite nice large surfaces to try things out on. I haven't tried any out on the Space Marines yet, but what I would quite like to try is dirt/weathering.

Macbrown Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Painted the pilot and the cockpit. Pilot is now glued on and I have managed to also glue the cockpit and roof onto the resin part of the model (pictures shortly). This part is from the GW Storm Raven kit. I'm sure a lot of you are aware, but this is a tough model. So many of the resin parts are warped or just don't fit. A lot of extra cutting and filling with green stuff.

Thousand Eyes Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 If ever there was a good reason to get stuff done it is to get the kids playing. So fair play to you man and good luck going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macbrown Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Work on the Stormeagle does appear to have stalled...... But I finished a couple of terminators, a few marines (no pictures yet) and am on the way with a sergeant and a Forgeworld Legion Praetor. I've also done some Cadians and some Khorne Bloodletters, so I have been busy(ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
