[And Justice For All]

New project. Based and undercoated him last night and will be working on him inbetween doing bits of my Fortress of Redemption.

Used some of the resin bits from GW's basing kit as well as teh usual gravel. I've also used a larger base as he is quite deserving in my opinion.

 

[Sir Spamalot]

I shall be watching this with great interest I love the model, and I know you'll do it a great justice with your amazing painting skills

 

[ChadMS]

Well, I can't really comment on a basecoat, but I'll just say that I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with him.

lol......Yea, what can you say. "nice black" or "wow your spray can use is just the same as everyone else" ;-)

 

[xbanditsx]

You are a seriously busy painter. Looking forward to seeing what you do with Helbrecht.

 

[And Justice For All]

Yea, I like to keep busy. It's my trade so the more I do the better, but I also like fresh challenges. Keeps it all interesting.

Tonights progress. The base is nearly finished. I'm going to make some empty bolter shells and scatter them on the base just to finish it.

What do you think?

 

[King Ulrik Flamebeard]

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this guy. I hope to see a heavily freehanded cape there.

Cheers Kuffy. I'm hoping to get the cape looking intricate if I can. We'll see when I get to it.

Current progress isn't much to look at. Lots of general progression but nothing complete yet. Added six empty bolter shells to the base too.

 

[ChadMS]

All progress is good progress. What did you make the bolter shells out of? Green Stuff?

I made them using an old idea I learnt when making scale military dioramas as a kid, brass rod. Thin enough to be cut with our hobby snips but comes in loads of sizes.

 

[And Justice For All]

Tonights work ends with the gold armour essentially done, the white areas worked up a bit more, face just about sorted (one eye needs redoing) and further general progression.

 

[winter117a]

Looks excellent. I'm excited to see the finished project.

 

[And Justice For All]

Latest progress. Getting towards the end of this project. All the main areas have been worked up with just details here and there, the gun, skulls etc to complete. Hopefully have him finished tonight as am on quite a roll at the moment. ;-)

 

[xbanditsx]

He was missing something until you added the red, now he's looking great.

 

[And Justice For All]

Finished. Yay. Observations etc welcome. ;-)

 

[Sir Spamalot]

It looks great mate. I love the white(would you mind sharing the secret?). One comment i do have though, in the 2nd picture, you appear to have some of the blue highlight from the cape, on the 'piping' kinda stuff.

Ta mate. ;-)

Looks ilke you may be right with that observation. Good spotting. (hurridly gets paints back out) ;-)

White.....layering. Simple as that. Started with a black basecoat as you can see in earlier pics so painted a few thin layers of Space Wolves Grey to get a good, bright shade to work over. Then gradually painted layers of thinned white building the bright tone. Probably looking at about 8-10 layers.

i dont know if its the lighting or angle of the photo, it looks like you've missed the inner part of the shackle thing on the comb i melta, and that shoulder plate on the right looks a little bent. looks great over all, very nice

Thanks for the observations. The shackle doesn't have a hole in it for his arm to go through and I don't have a drill bit the right size to drill it, yet. I did paint it but it looked real silly so I painted it black again.

You have spured me to get it drilled tomo' though.

Not sure about the shoulder pad though. Can't see what you mean.

 

[Sir Spamalot]

Not sure about the shoulder pad though. Can't see what you mean.

Check the first picture, the 'rim' running parallel to his face, on the left shoulder pad is bent slightly
