Lord Commissar finished!

I finally was able to finish the commissar.
I did a bit of blacklining and smoothed out the dirt on his cape.

Some dirty work...

Hi!

First of all I'd like thank everybody who is writing comments on my blog, I'm really happy to get so much feedback! Unfortunatelly I did't have a lot of time to answer to everything and post new stuff, since I was on the road for the last 3 weeks (Germany trip :)). There'll be a lot more to see from now on, I promise. ;)

I've recentliy finished some "dirty work", which means a squad of crimson fist scouts and a unit of wood elves for a friend of mine. I tried to be really quick by using washes (elves) and armypainter (scouts). I think the scouts turned out better, the wood elves are a bit boring imo but good enough for the gaming table anyhow.

Ok, see for yourselves:



Hope you like it!

P.S.: Oh yeah, the FW vendetta kit has finally arrived! Stay tuned for updates on the Valkyre-diary (which should be named vendetta-diary from now on ^^)

Lord Commissar almost finished

Hi again!

Sorry for not posting for so long but I was on vacation the last 2 weeks and since the valkyre didn't fit into my suitcase, I had to paint something smaller while I was away. ;)

Here's my version of the Lord Commissar (still WIP):





Cheers

Valkyre Diary - Entry 6

Just a short status update today: The Valkyre is almost fully assembled.
Only the weapons are missing because I'm still waiting for that Forgeworld Vendetta conversion-kit to arrive. The cockpit window is missing as well (wouldn't be very clever to glue that on now).


Still can't believe how huge the model is. Almost baneblade-huge. Damn...

Valkyre Diary - Entry 5

Well well well....
I did some final touches with my favourite weathering tool: the pencil!

I drew it over the edges...

scraped of a bit...

and used my finger for "painting" ^^
(this gives a realistic metalic sheen on the edges you rubb with it)


I also finished the gunners (I'll shoot some better pics later) and put everything together.

A quick CNN-style pic as a preview ;) :

Valkyre Diary - Entry 4

Hi again!

The interior is almost finished now. I worked with pigments to get dusty look on the ramps...


...and on the sides

and on the console...
I used umber and burnt umber. Just brush the dry pigments on the surface and blow-off the excess (or leave it ^^). I finally sprayed a coat of matt-varnish to fix them. Army Painter
"anti-shine" is great by the way.


I hope I'll be able to finish the gunners tonight...

Valkyre Diary - Entry 3

News from the front again... ;)
I painted all the buttons and pipes, the floor and the ramp.
I added a watered down wash of Devlan Mud to give the interior an even dirtier look.




Now it's time for the gunners and some experiments with pigments!
Check back tomorrow!
