Captain Semper's Adeptus Titanicus project

[Captain Semper]

I’m not familiar with washi tape (had to google it) therefore I cannot say for sure what it’s properties are. The masking tape I use is pretty ordinary straight off the shelf of a hobby store. 
 

the only tip I’d give is to make sure the edges are very well attached to the surface to avoid any paint slipping under it and creating a less-than-sharp edge. :)

Nice work Captain!

[Guest]

Ahh Good Captain this Warlord will look amazing when complete :)

[Captain Semper]

Thank you guys! I feel I'm painting and neglecting the events... :lol: I'm going to update later today...

[Mandragola]

I like the Warlord's stripey trousers a lot. Looking forward to seeing the rest of him.

Easiest way to ensure no seeping is to 'seal' the edge of the tape: apply the tape and then apply a thin coat of the masked colour (e.g. paint panel red, mask, paint it red again over the tape) and then paint on your second colour. That way any bleed through will be the colour that is already under the tape, giving you perfect lines every time

Wow, I’d have never thought of that. I bought some of the expensive Tamiya stuff and another off brand.

[Captain Semper]

Still hard at work on the Warlord...

Upper bit done. Now the weapons and the head - and we're done!

[Mendi Warrior]

Looking very nice 

[Interrogator Stobz]

+1 :tu:

[Captain Semper]

So these are the weapons I chose...

And here's the super plasma done:

THERE IS A TON OF WORK!!!!!

EDIT: The coils were done following Fajita's advice - I used Akelian instead... It looks great up close - I hope the pic does it justice...

[Captain Idaho]

Damn that is mighty fine work on the weapons. I'm jealous!

[Fajita Fan]

I know what you mean, these are almost too detailed aren’t they?

 

I went back and put a touch of white on my coils and then another suuuuuper thinned coat of blue. I like the greenish blue, that’s almost what I did for the final coat.

Thx man! A lot of work but very rewarding. Painting minis is still the best stress reliever I can think of...

Are you happy with the result? I’m not touching mine...

[Fajita Fan]

Happier but I wish I had used that blueish green for the final coat. Because my armor is so bright I needed the glow to be a touch lighter.

[Mandragola]

This is great work. I’m looking forward to the result.

 

It’ll be a pricey Titan with that loss-out, but a dangerous one.

[Captain Semper]

Thx man! 

 

I have virtually no opportunity to play, so it’s only rule of cool for me! :)

[Gore Crow]

That plasma looks great! I like the muzzle-burn too.

Wonderful! That is a very very lovely work. Super well done. Eager to see the end result.

[Captain Semper]

Could not resist! :D

[Fajita Fan]

Aww you painted the pistons a different color? Crap now I have to do that...

 

Actually, bloody pistons on my traitors would look cool.

[Mendi Warrior]

Very nice! You are going to have a wonderfully painted titan 

 

 

Actually, bloody pistons on my traitors would look cool.

 

Definitely!

[Interrogator Stobz]

Great work Captain!!

[Captain Semper]

@ Fajita: Indeed they would! :lol:

 

@ Thanks man! :tu:

 

@ Stobz: When will we see your project log? Can't wait for that! :yes:

 

 

Sooo.... Let's assume that someone (let's say a cousin of mine) glued the magnets on the carapace weapons so as to repel instead of attract... Any remedies for that short of super-gluing them? *HE* might be interested...

Which size are the magnets in the carapace weapons? 3mm or 5mm? Super glue I would assume?

One trick is to drill one or several small holes next to the magnet and then insert a thin but strong blade and apply leverage to try to get the magnet out. Depending on how much glue and how deep they are inserted, it ranges from annoying but relatively easy to annoying and hard. Some swearing mandatory of course
