Tutorial: Making a Thunderhawk flying stand
If you followed the Thunderhawk assembly blog entries last October, then you’ll know I love using power tools. Today I got to play with some power tools and start construction of my Thunderhawk’s base. Read on for a step by step account. In the first…
WIP: Thunderhawk #6
I’ve been painting the details on my Thunderhawk. I’ve painted the side access doors, the aquillas, and the metal vent areas on the roof. It’s only a small update so no pics after the jump.
Showcase: Orc Spearboyz
Another week, another Orc or Goblin unit from my collection, this time it’s my spear boyz. A few more pictures after the jump. The Nob’s spear and banna wavva’s standard our from the plastic warboss kit. This shot shows the different ranks behaving differently. The…
WIP: Thunderhawk Gunship #5
At last some detail work! I use the term detail very loosely because the engines are the same length as a Land Raider and the Turbo Laser is the length of a Rhino APC. Read on for some close ups of the Thunderhawk’s guns, engines…
WIP: Thunderhawk Gunship #4
In this update you can see I’ve added a diagonal stripe to either side of the hull and three large Ultramarine symbols, two on the wings and one on the nose. All of these elements have been added to help break up the massive amount…
WIP: Thunderhawk Gunship #3
I’m now starting to get into this project. It’s the biggest airbrush project I’ve tried (slightly bigger then my Harridan, but far more complex). I’ve really enjoyed the precision of this project so far. I can’t believe I’ve lined and highlighted the whole thing with…
WIP: Thunderhawk Gunship #2
I forced myself to paint the Thunderhawk two nights in a row. I want to keep the momentum going and keep chipping away at it. This step was all about lining the armour panels with the airbrush. I’ve gone for a near black dark blue….
Showcase: Dreadfleet finished pictures
What is a better sensation then new box smell? Completing an entire box set of models, that’s what is! I feel fantastic that I’ve completed the entire Dreadfleet boxset. Read on for more jubilation and pictures. All the ships, terrain, gaming pieces are fully painted….
Showcase: Dreadfleet, The Sea Drake.
I painted the Sea Drake like most of the ships from Dreadfleet by keeping the pieces separate and base coating the parts in their respective colours using my airbrush. The sails even got a little airbrush highlighting. It was then just a case of painting…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Cog Auxiliary Ships
It’s like Epic 40,000 goes to sea! These tiny ships (and dragon) were fast to paint. I mimicked their parent ships with similar paint schemes. I couldn’t find the effort to paint freehand on the sails but it’s another step towards completion.
