Interrogator Stobz Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Cool progress Brother. You don't even need nagging to get things done I wish I had more DA hobby time atm... I'm jealous.

Raziel-TX Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Haha. I’m just trying to scale that gray plastic mountain of shame. After this I have five more primaris assault Marines that need beaky-fication and then I’m done…at this scale. Got a bunch of 8mm beakies that need work. Been fortunate this last week to get about an hour in every night. I got the wings, the stabilizers, and the front hull (interior and exterior) left to do.

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Nothing beats getting regular hobby time in. Great progress as I said. Those decals look awesome, interesting that you have put them on whilst still in sub assembly stage. That's gotta help motivation too.

Raziel-TX Posted April 27, 2023 Author Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Found these gems at the local store. Small town TX for the win.

Raziel-TX Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 Wings with power plants done. Smack light OSL attempted as well. Front fuselage (interior and exterior) need completing. Landing gear and ball turrets after that. Final piece will be decals.

Interrogator Stobz Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Worth painting though, gives it a real finished look. Keep up the great work Brother.

Raziel-TX Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 Wind(vacuum?) screen done. Minor touch ups on the hull and I’m calling it down. Then the interior.

Prot Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 That is very cool... I like the realism of the look too. Did you use that Panel Liner I see in the back ground?

Raziel-TX Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 Thanks, gents. I did use that panel liner for every….single…panel edge. The stuff of nightmares.

Haha I have used it a lot myself so I know your pain. Often with lighter models I find you have to neaten up the bleed that occurs. Really a pain in the butt. Looks great though.

Raziel-TX Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Yeah, bleed over/staining is a thing. Though I find my butt getting kicked by the GW washes more than panel liner. Made more progress tonight with the ball turrets and the landing gear. Hope to have all four turrets completed in the next 24/48 Edited May 9, 2023 by Raziel-TX Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357969-raziel-txs-dark-angels/page/13/#findComment-5945318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel-TX Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Had to make some Mk II ball turrets as I only received left sided las cannons and no heavy bolters…though I had left over heavy bolters from the fire raptors. So enter the half and half solution.

Raziel-TX Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Magnetized the turrets so I can remove them easily. They aren’t as stable as I like but I’m mainly after ease of transpo/storage. I’ll post wings later but the wings and stabilizers are also magnetized. I’m all ears for solutions on how to enclose the front troop compartment as the ball turret housing has a huge gap in it. Seems really weird to have this not fully enclosed given that it is supposed to be a void capable craft. \_(ツ)_/ Edited May 10, 2023 by Raziel-TX Interrogator Stobz, WrathOfTheLion and Prot 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357969-raziel-txs-dark-angels/page/13/#findComment-5945800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel-TX Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 I wanted more pew pew for my assault craft so I added tl lascannons to each side. Magnets so it can be raised up to allow folks embarking/disembarking to not be flagged. Also added tl heavy bolters on top. Magnetized of course for more pew pew.

WrathOfTheLion Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) I think the white matches the FW decals better, so that's what I think would work better. If there was a bit more of a slightly aged parchment, that'd be best, but that's not one of the choices is it :D Edited May 11, 2023 by WrathOfTheLion Raziel-TX 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357969-raziel-txs-dark-angels/page/13/#findComment-5946364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtrouble Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I’m super impressed. You’ve hit a level of detail with such a large model that seems like a lot of work.

Raziel-TX Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the feedback, @WrathOfTheLion. @bigtrouble, thank you! I’ve picked a lot of tricks and tips from the BnC crew. Plus motivation from the Dark Angel team helps a lot as well. BREAK Final tidbits for a little while.

Raziel-TX Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Interior work on main troop compartment wrapping up. Also ordered some LEDs for the interior-another learning experience to be had. bigtrouble 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357969-raziel-txs-dark-angels/page/13/#findComment-5947215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
