Guiltysparc Posted December 25, 2023 Author Share Posted December 25, 2023 My wife got me a little light box for Christmas! A little fiddling with light sourcing and these will be great, so much better than my other pictures. firestorm40k, Firedrake Cordova, Dr_Ruminahui and 4 others 3 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Yeah, that looks just a little bit different MithrilForge and Guiltysparc 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) Looks good, pics are nice and crisp !, I’m inspired by your topic so I am building Angron today (copying your build method of doing subassembly sections) Cheers, M Edited December 26, 2023 by Mumeishi Guiltysparc and Firedrake Cordova 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I'd change is I wouldn't have glued his hair on. You can see a bit of the body under it even after the top of his armor is attached (which I didn't realize). Not a huge deal but keeping it separate would have been a little easier. Are you going to make a thread for him?

MithrilForge Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) Haha I glued the hair on already , yeah when he’s undercoated I’ll start a thread here should be probably Friday when I’ll have him put together and undercoated(Christmas holidays and children takes up a lot of what would’ve been hobby time ) he’s at this stage - and the wings- do you recommend textured basing (Agrellan earth etc) after? or before? the undercoat… cheers, M Edited December 27, 2023 by Firedrake Cordova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) The great work begins! For the texture paints, I like to put them on before I spray the black undercoat since I like to paint over it. Also, I'd recommend putting some thinned down pva glue over top the texture paint after it's dry to help keep it in place when you dry brush it. Alternatively if you don't plan on painting it you can just put down after the undercoat/whenever you want.

Guiltysparc Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 Picking out some of the wing details today. MithrilForge, Dr_Ruminahui, Firedrake Cordova and 2 others 2 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Very nice , I like the subtle transition from red skin to screamer bone !! the wings are really popping, they will look great on him. (I’ve undercoated my Angrons body and base today, it’s paint night at a mates tonight so Angron will be getting a lick o paint tonight ) really looking forward to seeing these wings glued on !!

Guiltysparc Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 Started doing some more of the wing details and I thought it might be easier to do the big claws after the wings are on the body, so I pulled the body out and ended up punching up the highlights on the tail some more lol Rusted Boltgun, Dr_Ruminahui, MithrilForge and 2 others 3 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guiltysparc Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) And then there were wings! And then here you can see where I missed on the hose alignment (right side). I thought I had these pretty good when I assembled them with the wing, but this side was a little off it seems. Plus I misaligned the wing just a smidge (small gap between the body and base of the wing that you can't see without light on the other side), so those two things came together for the big miss on the hose. Such are the perils of working in super glue lol, alas. Still, stoked with how he's coming together.

Firedrake Cordova Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I'm sure misaligning the hose is very annoying, but at least it's in an area of the model that's not particularly visible. MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 Word, and I'm sure that trying to put it on separately after painting would have been similarly fiddly, so six of one, half dozen of the other.

MithrilForge Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Just wow, he looks huge now with the wings attached !!, so the left wing hose pipe was the trouble one ?, I left mine off and just put a tiny spot of blu tac on both joints so hopefully mine will still be a pain to put on but won’t have this hitch , as Firedrake Cordova said it’s not that noticeable unless you were aware of it. Damn those wings look great though !! …. soon we’ll get to see the weapons !! Cheers,M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 Yep it's his right wing, so the right side is looking at the back, or the left side if looking at the front. And yep, arms next! Chainaxe arm is currently in the work space. MithrilForge and Firedrake Cordova 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 The pink/purple of the wings works really nicely with the red, whilst also helping to break it up a bit and add some visual interest.

Guiltysparc Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Started to work on the arms, got the skin dry brushed and blocked in some of the black, but then it occured to me that if I put these on next, getting the little hoses that go with the chest armor attached would be a real pain, so I've pivoted to finishing up the chest armor and getting that on.

MithrilForge Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Oh you tease... .... agreed on the chest Armour (i actually glued the hoses to the breastplate...im praying it fits on without scraping paint off when I reattach it ) at least you showed me the weapons !!

MithrilForge Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) Looking great There,+ Wow, just the top Shoulder Armour Plate & the arms left and You're done!!. I love the chest work and necklace I myself left off that Skull necklace (going to use it as a standard topper ) as I thought that area was a tad bit busy there as well... He looks like a scary Bird of prey in the Bottom pic without his arms great work Bud, encourages me to work on mine this weekend !!
