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.

P-47 Thunderbolt – part 8
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! 🙂
P-47D Thunderbolt – part 7
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.
Spartan assault tanks – part 3
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.
Spartan assault tanks – part 2
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.
Spartan assault tanks – Legiones Astartes – Games Workshop
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.
Thunderhawk Gunship build #2 – final reveal
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.
Thunderbolt build #2 – part 6
As I now got decals for the first ship, I showing them here too.
Then a pic of both ships.
I did some weathering with Tamiyas panel line wash, Agrax earthshade, silver and diluted pale sand.
I’ll consider both builds done and will post final reveal pics as soon as possible.
Thunderhawk Gunship – part 5
Even this one got decals in my little decal session.
I just need to sort one mor small decal on each side, but thought it was best to let the ones I had done dry properly first. Then this one is done!
Thunderhawk Gunship build #2 – part 3
It took a while for me to sit down and put don decals on this one, but now it’s done!
Next I’ll clear cote it and then start weathering. So not much left now!
