I’ve started adding the decals and the underside is done!
I had a little problem with the invasion stripes. I need to touch up with a bit of colour later.
I’m still happy with how it looks. Now I’ll let these decals dry a while, before adding more decals.
After masking I painted the nose yellow.
Then I did some more masking and painted black.
Part of the masking tape was removed.
Then I masked again and painted olive drab.
So how did it turn out with the masking tape removed? I say it turned out bloody nice! 🙂
Now on to the next steps that probably will be clear coting and then decals.
I just collected these 2 kits that was sent from Eduard.
I ordered them when Eduard made it possible to pre-order them.
I’ll build at least on of them sometime later this year hopefully!
Propeller, bombs and spinner got clear coted.
I started adding different shades of bright metal to different covers.
I think I’ll keep it there, and start painting the nose next.
I sanded the problem areas carefully with fine grade sanding sticks and lastly some polishing.
Then it all got a new cote of aluminium.
Freshly painted, but it still looks like I need another cote of paint.
I finished the pilot and added the mask.
Now I just need to finish the plane so I can put him in place! 🙂
I masked the wheel bays, getting it ready for primer and paint.
Then I used UMP black primer.
There was a few minor problems to take care of. Once that was done I gave it a new cote of black before painting it aluminium.
As can be seen I got a few splats and some other minor crap problems. I’ll sort that once this have dried properly.
The pilot also got some colour.
I still need to paint his face and some other details.
I painted the guns with black metal. Then the tracks got a thin layer of rust, some orange rust, and later I dry brushed with steel.
Details in red was painted on the figures, which was a bit of a strain.
I’ll paint some more small details, then I’ll check if I missed something, before putting on a clear cote. Then decals and weathering is left to do.
After masking for the red pattern in the front, they looked like small packages! 🙂
Time for some red paint.
Then off with the tape!
After some minor touching up, I started paitning the tracks.
They are small, so a bit hard to hold while painting the details. More detail painting later.
I bought this box together with a few other Legions Imperialis boxes. After doing my 2nd Thunderhawk build, I decided to do a few more troops/units in White Scars’s paint scheme.
I removed and cleaned up the parts for all four tanks.
As with many of GW’s newer kits, they are very easy to build, and everything goes together very smoothly, with barely no visible seams at all.
There was options for 2 different side guns and 2 main guns, as well a few otions for the command turret. I choose to have one commander and 3 gunners.
Then it was time for some primer and later some paint. Using more or less the same colours I used on the Thunderhawk.
I haven’t decided how I will paint the red pattern on these vehicles yet. I’ll think about it a while.
Like the first one this was an easy fun build. I’m alos showing pics of the first one with decals.
So now I have one for each side of the conflict. I have to check how many there usually are in an army. Perhaps sometime I’ll get 2 more and paint them in other colour schemes.
