Combat_Vet Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Greets, After several years I am trying to get back into the hobby that I loved for decades. First project is a brush holder/water pot for my hobby desk! I will continue to post WiP's here and I am always open to critiques, criticism, and pointers.

Firedrake Cordova Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 That looks great. The weathering on the templar's cross is really nicely done Is it a merchandise thing, or a 3D print? (I think I'm seeing print lines, although it could be moire from the camera...) calgar101 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387404-trying-to-get-back-to-the-hobby/#findComment-6151138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Wow thats a fantastic brush holder/water pot. That is a beautiful paint job, I wouldn't want to use that for your intended use.

Lathe Biosas Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I'd be afraid to use it. I'd just look at it for hours... instead of painting.

Combat_Vet Posted Wednesday at 01:03 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:03 AM (edited) I had to GS his chest as it was a massive hole to begin with. I never claimed to be skilled. Working on it makes me concerned that I used too many colors for the wiring. I want them to be different, but not overly busy if that makes sense.

That's a nice hommage you've done here and quite faithful to the artwork Firedrake Cordova and W.A.Rorie 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387404-trying-to-get-back-to-the-hobby/#findComment-6159320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanguardVeteran Posted Wednesday at 10:40 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:40 AM The GS and conversion work are very convincing, and a close match to the artwork. I wonder the in-universe reason for his peculiar positioning on the dreadnought chassis?

And I didn't mean to imply that you weren't - I think he's great, its just that the original picture and my mind didn't connect to perceive what it was you were doing. Now that its painted there is no confusion and I think he looks great - a successful implementation of the artwork and really neat idea.

I was trying to joke along, so I hope I didn't seem offended. Tone is often lost in text.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted Wednesday at 09:49 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:49 PM Wasn't offended, just didn't want to offend. I think your work is very good, even if the photo was unclear.
