DV librarian on a bike conversion WIP

Recommended Posts

Hello brothers!

 

I will document here the process of my first real conversion job and let you judge the result,

I have photos of all the step of the process so others can try to replicate/ improve it. 

 

please, comment on the result, and how i can improve it.

 

Once all the pieces cut, i used blue tac to see how they fit and adjusted accordingly. I then proceeded with the green stuff and a look through the bit box to hide the ugly line it created.

 

I Like the result, although the side under the sword is still quite apparent on close inspection. maybe once painted it will be better.

 

More once it is primed and painted.

We don't know for sure but there are two things against blue and gold:

 

1. All bikes are supposed to belong to Ravenwing, so they would be black.

2. If you pant a blue and gold bike, it will make the already blue Libratian pop less, so usually people keep the bike Black to increase detail and make the Rider stand out.

the only black model in my unforgiven chapter are BlackKnight (ravenwing of the same name) and DeathKnight (DeathWing Knight equivalent)

Thus, the bike will be painted the regular grey since the librarian does not have the honor of being from the Black Knight order.

cant wait to start tonight.

update; I have finished the base paint on the model, photo with mostly done regular DV Librarian!

There is a lot more work to be done, but I think it gives a good idea what it will look like.

I am now done. here he is with a 4 man squad of black Knight. 

they are what i consider tabletop level, i wish I had the time to add more details, too much thing in the painting queue!

included are bonus pic of my newly received, hightly decorated V Dread.

 

PS; I tried a new thing on the feather of the librarian bike : blueish white. the lighting do not show it much, but you can see how it look IRL on the third pic.

so, how do you do a blueish white? i made up a technic and want to know yours!
