Kabaakaba's wip AM The Flying circus regiment

[Firedrake Cordova]

Oof - that sounds incredibly frustrating!

 

Hopefully you can get them repaired  

[kabaakaba]

Magos said he returns them in no time.

 

[kabaakaba]

Somehow managed make new legs for two guys and restore feets for two more. Still need to make legs for two more. 

Magos said that legs just fine and his skitaries use the same.

But need to add some details like cables

I don't know how it happened with this little hobby time but fist 20 men blob is built, primed, augmented where is necessary and base coated. 

2 more in delivery and I wish post office do not loose them like they do with sentinels kit.

Spill some paints on commissars. Absolutely love this sculpt. Best commy model ever I think

 

[MetalFingers]

Lookin good! Totally agreed on that commissar model. Absolute banger.

[kabaakaba]

Morning painting is the best! It's a polar day already so it's sunny at 6. Spend some time painting commy. Finish powerfist backpack. Also complete pants. Gonna add more highlights to cloack. Still need more layering for leather parts and skin

And now my phone oversaturate the red...

And another bit of progress on commy. Finished red which I'm happy with( but my phone camera make it's looks like consistent red spot), leather parts and face.  Thinking on what to add to pants and coat back surface

[LameBeard]

I love the stubble on the Commissar! Power fist looks great, too.

 

On the Guard colour scheme - I like where you are settling. I think a contrast of one bright colour (blue) and one drab colour (khaki?) is very 40k. Don’t be shy with the black-lining.

Thanks, it's gray, like 50 shades of gray. 

BTW what you mean black-lining?

Edited May 13 by kabaakaba

[LameBeard]

By black-lining I mean using black or some other dark colour to create a line between the two colours (the blue and gray). This can be achieved by a wash in the recess or some people do it with paint, or even a pen, painting or drawing around the outline of the basic shapes. 
 

it can look a bit cartoonish so wouldn’t be right for a Golden Demon entry that’s observed realy close, but at a distance for a gaming army will look great.

[kabaakaba]

Have not WIP this days, just a miniature I really want was delivered 

[kabaakaba]

at least make a basic basing for all the guys including new one and complete commy. Add varnish all around matt and gloss for metals and polished parts. And add basing. Waiting til polymer past dry to finish him. Then gonna finish 20 body cadians squad 

[kabaakaba]

Looks like its false gods who make me think that paste I used for bases is polymer. It's warped chalk and fell apart with piles of dust, so I redo all bases again with adding wood PVA glue which strong enough to hold anything.  Gonna wait til it's dry... And hope it came fine this time

[kabaakaba]

Slowly working on first squad. Finished grey and blue. working on leather parts.

 

Some how tweak the photo so it looks closer to actual colours

It's happens! With help of God-Emperor I'd finished first squad of 10. 

I don't like how they are cause varnish made everything looks not like I made it. 

Any way gonna leave them as is. 

Think to follow pattern character - infantry - vehicle for some diversity.

Tomorrow I'll try make proper light and photoing them to show how it's looks like

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Those look great!

[Firedrake Cordova]

They look fine to me.  

 

What difference did the varnish make?

varnish make colours too dim. it's marked as matt but it;s ubviously satine. gonna look for some colour scheme tweaks to reduce varnish effect cause can't afford another experiment with varnish(have access to very few for reasonable price)
 

also i lied about photo guys better. don't find good enought light source.  but paint black theirs bases rims
started working over sentinels interior

Have alot ho by time today so make progress with sentinel, it's basecoated, layered and highlighted. Still need to paint small details all around

Edited May 31 by kabaakaba

[kabaakaba]

Sentinel complete. Don't think I can add more to it except repaint it... It's looks acceptable so far. 

[kabaakaba]

Inconsistency come to be something common for me, after tough or two I got baffled with how strange the sentinel looks together with boys and commissar. So I decided add few touches to it. It's obviously WIP again... And group shot.

I like the camo stripes - it both makes it look more like an actual piece of military machinery rather than a model/toy, and helps tie it in with the rest of your force.  Good call to add it.
