More details was painted, like theeth and horns on their masks.
The ghoul on Varag got some colour.
Their shoes was painted in white and red.
A lot of details was added here and there, getting closer to being finished.
I added some dirt, grass and black rim to their bases, and all the player got hand painted numbers.
Good enough to be called done, but as usual I found a few things I wanted to sort before taking the final reveal pics!
I got this one last week but forgot to show it.
I found this kit fairly cheap on a Swedish auction site.
I’m perhaps not the greatest BMW fan, but I thought this one looked cool!
I decided to go with the red and yellow and painted their shoulder pads in those colours too.
The Goblins just got red trousers and yellow shirts or armor.
The rest of the armor was painted black.
Vallejo black metal was used to paint their bucklers and toe protectors and some other metal details. A few more details was all I could manage to paint last friday before the tournament match I contended yesterday.
The tournamnet was held in Varberg a city about one hour ride from where I live. First time ever playing the game for real. The people there was very nice and helped understand the rules and what was possible to do. I lost all my three matches but managed to do a touch down with my goblin that successfully was thrown by my trained troll. For that to happen I had to succed with series of succesfull rolls with the dice. Happily everything went well and I scored one touchdown.
Recently I was invited to a small tournament of Blood Bowl in a nearby city.
As I really never played except in the computer game, I had to paint a team that was somewhat easy to play with.
I had already built and primed the figures for the 2nd season edition, and choosed to use the Black orcs including the Star Player figure and the troll.
As I only had done black primer before, I added a layer of grey and then white in a typical zenithal style.
I then gave them all a wash with Nuln oil and dry brushed them with white just to pick out details.
I tried different greens on the goblins.
Then both the orcs and goblins got different green colours.
The troll got a blueish colour with a lighter colour on his tummy and arms and legs.
I will dry brush with a slightly lighter colour later.
Just to see how it looked, I painted the trousers in red and yellow.
I painted three of them with leather colour on their straps and gloves. I will proceed doing the same on the other ones later.
I’m trying to keep the colour scheme simple and consistant within the team.
I got this little beauty today!
Yesterday I also got 5 sets of Mountain hold dwarfs for Warhammer TOW.
I forgot to take pics though.
What I didn’t know was that one more parcel should arrive yesterday. I collected it later that evening.
Much needed supplies.
This is just a quick update to show my solution to some of my PE problems.
I cut two plastic strips in the same length as the PE part and glued them in place.
I also figured a solution for the other part and folded it as good as possible.
I glued the hatches and will paint the periscopes and add them later.
Some more etch was added, but there’s more to do.
Next I’ll try and fold and glue the lamp guards.
After some work all parts for the lower hull was assembled.
Then it was time for the upper hull. I removed and cleaned the parts for the hatches. Fairly esay but I need to figure how to do with paint and clear parts.
Then there are some PE parts and they’re driving me crazy. There’s one small thin piece that is supposed to be folded in the middle and I can’t make that happen. Maybe I don’t have the proper tools.
There’s also one piece that needs to be folded like in the MA9 part in the picture.
On the front view the parts are called MA10 and MA5 instead of MA36 and MA9.
The only fairly easy part right now is the lamp guards.
I got this kit from my Swedish Secret Santa last year.
As I decided to finish the Coach first, it took a while to get this build started.
Anyway, now it’s started and first things to be assembled was the boogies.
Then parts to the lower hull.
That’s all so far.
Here’s some pics of my finished build.
Some things didn’t turn out as I’d hoped, but still I think it turned out looking okey.
Learning from my mistakes, I’ll hopefully will do better next time.
Most of the chromed parts are glued in place and the hood got decals. Not perfect, but after a while it wasn’t possible to move them at all. I also failed with the decals for the front. I was hard to make them wrap around in a nice way, so I gave up.
Not much left to do. I need to touch up some chrome parts and do a clear coat on the hood.
Next update will be for the final reveal.
