Then, I managed to paint some stuff too! I made some finishing touches on my friend’s army (he made them himself, I just helped him to get the desired look): I also painted a couple of Lictors for teh ice-world themed Tyranid force one client musters: And, strangely enough, I painted up some[…]
I’ve been doing a few sculpting/converting commissions lately. Three of the projects require me to sculpt quite a lot of custom detail on otherwise standard GW models, and then make an army’s worth of models out of these. To keep the projects affordable and at a high quality I opted to make several master models[…]
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.[…]
