Dark Angel Dread

Well as I seem to be in a bit of a groove hobby wise at the moment I thought I was use the rusting effects that I am using for the Contemptor on a Dark Angel Dreadnought.

I bought second hand a AoBR Dread and did a little conversion work on it.

So when I converted up this little fellow I did so not knowing what chapter he would be for but things go as things go and Dark Angels it is.  I want to do my Dark Angels all rusted and corroded as if they are fighting on a world either corrupted or toxic..

I did the three step rust paints I have from Vallejo and then salt chipped it. In the end the main armour I love the look of.

I Still have to paint up the metallic parts and details. I also have to figure out a good basing effect to give it a toxic world look.. 

Sons of Horus Contemptor Part 2

Well after some things and considering that I did to the resin in acetone I thought a damaged rusted look was the way to go. So after diving into YouTube for a while I found a way of starting what I was and adding the rust for the first paint coat.

 With the three colours of rust from the Vallejo Panzer Ace range I got the effect I was after.

Now all I have to go is the salt chipping...

Sons of Horus Contemptor

I had a friend find a Sons of Horus Contemptor at a convention two years back I think it was. ON our way home he thought about it and offer it to me for what he paid for it so I said yes.

I had this one sitting around and I thought it was about time I did something with it so I worked on the legs and based them.

The torso which is just sitting on the legs in the picture I realised that the shoulder pads had been glue on the wrong sides so I had to figure out how to remove them to fix up this issue.

I used nail polish remover to get the shoulder pads off the miniature. I had a spare foot which I left in over night with no issues to the resin. After 30 minutes of the torso being in I touched it and damaged the top of the exhaust on the model. I pulled it out right away and the up shot being I lost the ridges around the exhausts a some of the fine detail got a little smudged but got the pads off..

Must be the fun of buying second hand goods..

Guess I am going to have to up my game and try rust, salt chipping and battle damage..

Still have to get some magnets too as I have never tried that before...

Orlocks Underway

Well the Orlock Necromunda gang I am painting as a gift for a mate is started and the first 10 are complete.

I am happy with the way they came out just about 18 more to go.. So glad I love Necromunda..

Were did the time go....

Well I know I have been slack with not only posting here but also with my hobby.  The world or life or whatever you want to call it came knocking and the up shot being my hobby time suffered and died for a long time...

But after a move from one town to other, settling in and up packing all my hobby stuff..  well unpacking most of it I have gone back to spending time in the hobby.

First up it was what started out as a 5 man gang for Necromunda for my son turned into a 15 man gang.. but that lead me onto an Orlock gang from Necromunda that I had that was from a mate I had to paint for him..

So with all this in mind.. I swear to myself I am going to post more..

Lets see hey!
