Having painted the paper parts of the purity seals on my Grey Knights Landspeeder I highlighted the seals with Bleached Bone and Skull White.
I then painted the wax seals. I used the red foundation paint for this (as I had used a black undercoat). I then highlighted the seals with normal Citadel Colour, Blood Red.
I will need to do the writing next.
I purchased my Ork Bommer way back in 2003 at GamesDay and I am still working on it nearly four years later, though it did spend some time as an Epic Transport plane for a while…
It has taken a while but I have now finished the base coat…
You can see how (poorly) I filled the gaps in the model, however this is an Orky plane and I wouldn’t expect it to be perfect!
The next stage will be to give the whole thing a ink and paint wash.
I must get the Traktor painted as well for it.
I have been tidying up my Grey Knights.
I am trying to get them finished before I start on some more.
Having finished most of the metal bodywork on my Grey Knights Landspeeder I went and painted the purity seals using a Foundation Paint.
It covered the black undercoat really well compared to normal Citadel colour. There are quite a few on the model, I used the resin purity seals available from Forgeworld rather than make my own. You can make your own using paper and green stuff for the seals, but the Forgeworld ones are much easier to use and I think much better than I could do.
When I was editing the photographs for this blog entry I was quite pleased with the way the metal finish appeared (in close-up) on the Landspeeder body.
This was done with Boltgun Metal. I still need to add some highlights.
I have made some more progress with my Ork Bommer.
The under view.
It is getting there, but I keep getting sidetracked!
Painting Orks takes time, so much time that I realised it had been some time since I last mentioned my Grey Knights Landspeeder (see work done so far here).
I got it out the other day and finished off the basecoat which was done in Boltgun Metal. Basically I did the left wing and the engine compartment doors.
The next stage was to do the purity seals.
One of the nice extra parts for the Sisters of Battle Repressor is the large dozer blade. It consists of two parts; the blade and the attachment for attaching the blade to the hull.
The blade has some quite large sprue attachments which need to be removed with care.
If you don’t it can result in damage to the resin blade, luckily this is at the bottom of the blade.
The attachment had a fair bit of flash attached which needed to be cleaned.
I am going to paint this part separately, but to give you an idea on how the final Repressor will look here is as though the dozer blade was attached.
The next stage is doors, for which I think I may purchase some Rhino Inquisition doors from Forgeworld.
I decided looking at my Ork Looted Rhino that I really ought to finish the basecoat. Here is the Ork Rhino as it was. Just the side and front plate needed doing.
This actually took me less time then I thought it would. Here it is with the hatch off and the rear ramp down.
Next will be to give it a wash of dark ink with some paint to offset the gloss of the ink. Here it is “closed down” with the hatch on and ramp up. The hatch was scratchbuilt.
Another view.
More.
Some more work to do. See how I got to this stage on the main workbench feature.
I was lucky to receive one of the new Warhammer plastic buildings for a present (thanks Simon). I have mentioned in previous posts how impressed I was with the new buildings.
It was the chapel.
In the “A4” sized box you get two sprues with all the parts and extras on them.
One part I did particularly like was the clock.
This looks like it will be quite a substantial kit, as the plastic parts are quite thick compared to other plastic building kits I have made in the past. There will also be quite a few extra parts which I will be able to use on other models as well.
I hope we see more building kits in the future, it would be nice to see some more accompanying buildings as well as Orc or Elven constructions as well.
Looking forward to making this one up.
…let them burn in the fires of retribution or somesuch rubbish…
The Repressor kit comes with a resin flamer for a hatch ring.
Combined with the plastic hatch ring from the extras sprue, it will go on the top of the Repressor structure.
It went together very easily.
I decided to make the hatch closed, if this was a Sisters of Battle Repressor or a Adeptus Arbites Repressor then I may have added a gunner, as this will be used for different units I decided to make it closed.
