Pictish Miniature Painting - FW Tau Manta Build WIP

[rick_1138]

Hi all,

 

been a bit of a hectic month and only recently got some time to tidy up and catch up.

Been finishing a tabletop death company commission and started a large Ad mech force commission.

 

However amongst all that i was able to finally put paint to the Manta.  Doing the bits you cant see first....

Hi Folks,

 

I've been a bit quiet from forums this last month as had a few things on privately and been doing some jobs and just been bashing on.

 

However the Manta continues to go ahead and i have some cockpit and troop area sections almost complete or working through.

Hopefully have the internals glued in this week and start on the outside (the bit you are all waiting for!)

Hi all, been a wee while away from the Manta with some other works, Feb was quite busy!

 

However over the last few days i was able to bash onto the main body airbrush work and a coat of gloss before weathering and decals i made up.

Wow that is one beast of a thing to build/paint. Amazing work on the build and the paint is looking great!
