An epic commission, two and a half month of my total commitment from start to finish. These will round off a Showcase-level Rob’s Eldar army I painted up for him earlier. The models are now done. Here are all the pictures so you can judge them for yourself. Enjoy! The Blue Ravenant: The Purple Ravenant:[…]
I did manage to paint them up to a state I had in mind last week. There will be some minor changes and additions though… Anyways, I added purple and blue checkers to the models and painted the crew and interior. Note I still didn’t add the gloss varnish over all the gems. Here are[…]
At last, I see the end is near! Or rather the finish, or completion… The models are almost finished, with all the highlights and detailing done. What’s still to do are the colourful checkers (One ravenant will have some of the dark checkers blue, the other Ravenant purple, and the Phantom will have a mixture[…]
Another status update. This week I’ve been touching up and highlighting the checkers and the armour. Some extreme highlights to make it “shine” still to go. Also, the gems only have the basecoat on for now. I finished the base for the Phantom though (maybe a wash or two are still to go) and made[…]
For the last week I was masking the titans for the checkers pattern, which I foolishly decided it would be faster to make with an airbrush. Wrong! 3 days of meticulous checker removal, and after I airbrush them, there will be 3 more days to remove the other half of the masking! And even then[…]
I finally solved the limpy weapons syndromme ravenants had – I inserted additional magnets at about 90deg to the main one in the torso-arm and arm-weapon joints. I then added 2 more to each joint in the arm bit, allowing it to be attached at 3 different angles at the arm and at the elbow.[…]
Work on this commission continues. I assembled the Ravenants and made bases for all 3 titans. Just some minor sculpting left (some extra gems here and there, some detail around the pilots), and the converting one of the Phantom’s pulsars into a destroyed version to represent the weapon destroyed result left – I think I[…]
The Stalker MkI transport vehicle for the Iron Brotherhood range is finally available! Click the picture to go to the MAS shop. The kit is multi-part resin casting. The body is mostly in one piece, just the turret and cargo container are separate parts, allowing easier conversion for when you want it to carry something[…]
