Whirlwind number 2 finished.

Just finished whirlwind number two. I'm kind of happy with it. I think it's an improvement over the last one still need to have more practice. I have used pigments for the first time on this model around the exhausts. I sealed it with white spirits. Not sure if this is a permanent seal or not may have to varnish it.

Also finished a couple more smoke markers. They're are nothing special but for how simple they are they don't look too bad. 

On another note I had my first go at an RPG on Sunday. It was the start of a rogue trader RPG run by a  really good gm and nice guy from my club. I ended up being an insane and slightly tainted navigator. It was a real good laugh. Unpredictable events made up some great situations. I didnt realise miniature can be used whilst playing and so I looked up navigator and found a nice image. 

So I searched eBay for a sorcerer and after a fair bit of digging found this miniature. 

Not a millions miles off. Should be good if I can pull it off. I shall use a bit of green stuff here and there to attempt to bring it into the 41st millennium. 

It should be here tomorrow so I will get some pictures up then. 

Time for a quick un

Not updated in a while but been plodding along.

Finished my new Techmarine is done. Again poor photo taken on the iPad. It does look better in person I promise. 

I won't be buying a decent camera any time soon but my phone is due an upgrade to an iPhone 6s and so will take them on that in the future (proppa gud fotos!) 

The whirlwind and predator have been base coated with white primer then yellow. Started addin colours to the predator tonight but I'm supposed to have these done for Thursday as this is when then tournament adds another 250. 

Balls to it though I shall slap base colours on and it should be fine to play with then I can crack on. So much to do my wife dispairs at my little plastic toy soldiers. Ha 😀

Tanks a lot!

Whirlwind and the predator are made up bar the tracks. Last time I built it after painting the inside but didn't bother with it there really is no point as you don't see it. 

Had a go at making some objective markers. Made 6 altogether, I had the idea of having the objective number look like they are a part of the scenery. The number of the markers will be apart of it as well for example one has a shoulder guard and on it will be a number from 1 to 6.  Also each marker has a reason why each would possible be an objective. Such as the missiles or homing beacon. Just a little idea thought it would be better than using dice. 

Whirlwind Finished!

All done ready for the game tomorrow 

Whirlwind WIP

Just a quick photo of the Whirlwind. Made a good start on it tonight hopefully will be done tomorrow

 

When two tanks go war....

Started to paint up the whirlwind and Rhino in time for the tournament that's gone up to 750 points from this week. 

The Rhino would be suitable for the tournament as it is but it isn't going in as it is. 

Never fully painted any vehicle before so these 2 will be the first.

The inside of the whirlwind is complete. I really should just glue it shut but i frustratingly can't.  Didn't spend half as much time on the interior of this as I did my land raider. I put far too much effort into the land raider interior that won't really be noticed. Plus I'm not one to force people to look at any of my models. I prefers people to look if they want and notice the small details I attempt to put in.

Incoming!

Started the base coat on me Whirlwind, Rhino and land speeder. The Rhino was given to me by a nice bloke at my gaming club, so I stripped it with detol. I painted both the primer and base coat with an air brush. The first models I painted were all by hand. It took bloody ages!

They probably need another thin coat but I have run out of paint :S. 'Tis gaming night tonight though and I shall be picking some up.
