This is the gift I got from my Swedish Secret Santa that I started to build for a speed build group build on HLI.
It’s a fairly easy build and everything fits very nice. GW are also specialists on hiding seam lines and ejection pin marks are nowhere to be seen.
The only thing you need to do is remove nubs and mold lines before assembly.
That was how far I got yesterday. There’s a few more parts to sort before it’s ready for primer and paint.
Seems like I’ve forgot to show my newly arrived kits!
First is the small parcel I got from my Swedish Secret Santa.
Nice little package with rime and everything!
Next is a bunch of kits that I’ve ordered from the Swedish auction site Tradera.
And last but not least a bunch of kits from Games Workshop with orks for my army! 🙂
Cheap non descript boxes for some of the kits, which is typical when you order directly from them. Now I have to re-calculate my ork army! 🙂
Of course I have to build it too!
I just realized that I forgot 2 kits that arrived last week.
This is Tamiya re-release of those kits! Nostalgic! 🙂
Here’s some pics of my finished ork boss, Boss Snikrot!
Last part before final reveal!
Grass and small pebbles was added to the base.
The base, stones and grass was painted with Agrax earthshade and then dry brushed with a light bone colour and the stones with a bit of grey.
With that and the rim painted black, I’ll consider him done!
I started this build for a sci-fi group build on Facebook. Probably the last one I build for that gb. I choose a figure just to get a fairly easy build.
I thought he looked pretty cool so the choice was pretty easy.
Starting with assembly which was pretty straightforward.
I choose to have his mask on his forehead, so bot the mask and face would be visible.
I gave him a zenithal primer, which means I first painted him black, then grey in about 60 degree motion all around, and finally I painted white more or less from the top almost straight down.
Lastly I dry brushed white with a soft make up brush, picking up a little more of the details.
I decided to mainly use Army Painters Speed Paint.
I then painted all the metal with Vallejo’s black metal, and also added a few other details. Trying to use speed paint as much as possible.
The metal parts was highlighted with a brighter metal colour, and then I used rust and orange rust to add some rust on weapons and other spots.
After that I used AK’s mud on the base.
I’ll add some grass and a few stones to the base, and do some additional painting before it’s done.
Here’s some pics of the finished build!
I’m quite happy with how it turned out and the orks are happy for the added air support.
I added lightnings in black to the wings.
The windshield was painted and glued in place.
And the loadout was finished and glued in place.
I then started with the base.
After some additional painting of rivets and adding highlights here and there, I considered the plane done!
Next I’ll post final reveal pics!
Building up the yellow with brighter yellow colours.
The pilot got some paint.
Working a bit with the loadout and giving the rockets and bombs some colour.
Gradually adding even brighter yellow.
Unmasked with the pilot dry fitted.
I painted some details in metal and put the plane on the stand.
A little progress with the rockets and other small parts.
More details painted and some dry fitting.
The pilot got seated! 🙂
Next will be additional painting and touching up and adding the missing parts.
I started this build a while ago and haven’t been able to make any post about it.
It all started with preparing and assembling parts.
I painted a spiral pattern on the nose cone.
The interior parts got some interior green.
With the nose cone painted, I could assemble the fuselage.
The wings went on and some parts was dry fitted.
There was three different hatches for the wing. I choose the one which gave the plane one extra gun on each side.
Then some parts got some metal paint.
The parts for the pilot was primed.
The nose and metal painted parts was masked.
Grey zenithal primer on the pilot.
Then finally some paint on the plane.
Next more paint!
