Good Day
So made a start on this at a stupid time last night and finished the cockpit , (WIP shots provided) Guessing this took around 12 hours all told , so quicker than the damn Ravager.
The photo’s are truly arse (it is actually black), my light box can’t cope, my lighting is not good without a light box so these pics blow, hopefully you can forgive it and use your imagination a bit, It’s cool in the …. er, plastic ? I’m pretty happy with It really.
Ha ha ha Ultramarines DIE, ROFL
The missiles are all magnetic and can be removed.
Only 8 KP’s to go and I have completely everything assembled and sprayed now, bring it on !! I can’t believe I might actually pull this off ?!
This week Its the second and last Trueborn Squad in the evenings.
The Razorwing looks fantastic, kudos on your progress so far. Theres just one little thing that bothers me with it, the metal edging on the wings/blades.
Whilst it matches the rest of the army, on such a large space it doesnt look as great. I think some very light drybrushing and washes etc. may help to bring texture to the space. My own opinion though, and it very well might be the lighting or it being a photo, i might be able to see better tommorow.
The base also looks great 🙂
Actually need some weathering powder to do some streaks, it’ll give movement too, I’ll have to get Ryan to show me , his method seems to work.
streaks are pretty easy.. main thing is you dont want to stain the existing paint so it needs to be clearcoated first.. then you use a combo of pigment (or oil paint) and white spirit/water do the streaks and then touch them up (not in a dark eldar way) before you put the final satincoat on.
you can just put pigment directly onto a painted surface but it will stain, so you need to know what you’re doing 1st time round if you do it that way.
ive got next weekend off work so if you’re up for some form of painting jam, id say thats the time to do it.
Nice! But a bit sombre!
Goddamn that is so awesome….
Stupid Ultramarines, they had it coming.
The jet is mad cool, of course 🙂
Hmm you are right of course, It could do with some clown shoes and a red nose :oP
I am consftrained by time somewhat, I may go back later if there is time before ToS and put some patterns on, will see, do kinda like the sleek/deadly look of pure black
It’s fantastic, I love. I am sure Darth Vader should piloting it lol
Sexy as always although i really dont like the flying stand being black it pulls some of the attention away from the plane.
Hot-diggerty-do-dad! That is very nice and sleek – I can’t help but hear Jeremy Clarkson’s voice banging on about its acceleration and handling. The pilot is wunderbar and the blood drenched world of blood drenched blood drenched death is suitably blood drenched and deathly. I’d have to the blades for real before passing passing judgment on them (from the lofty perch atop my Golden Deamon Sword :P), but they do look a bit less smashing than the rest of the paint job. Top marks for your gems (though they should be red and green from port and starboard) and the helmet is, as ever on your porn elves, tip top.
Nah I hate the transparent plastic stem I think it looks cheap, plain black is fine , remember IRL you will be looking at it top down so its less noticeable then.
Im glad you like otherwise
I think this is perhaps the Model I am most pleased with so far, I love planes Im completely giddy about getting a Voidraven to touch inappropriately (with my brush) in the near future.
Personally not sold on the ultamarine bits on the base , just chose it because I hate GW’s poster-child and it warms my black heart to see them rent asunder and scattered across the land I’m starting to hate GK more , maybe Ill re-paint it only did not as there is alot of metal on the plane already.
Lol I would PAY to see Clarkson Review a an RL Razorwing , somehting to do with testing darklances and missiles on Caravans would definitely be in order, lol
Personally I’m ok with the wings, maybe it’s just the shitty photos….
shame you didnt base it after i melted the 2nd raven. you could have put some of the parts on as a trophy for the amount of times you own me. lol. plus its gk!! haha. tbh, forge world weathering powders are easy enough to use. looks good to. just use a one stroke brush. kinda like a drybrush but flat not round. and just take your time with it. chris is right though. it does stain but water will fetch off with a cloth and you can paint over after that. generally had no probs with it though. should have loads left so you may borrow. 🙂
water will fetch most of it off, but the way pigment works over non protected paint it will slowly change the colour of the underlying surface no matter how much water you use. not super drastic but its worth being aware of esspecially on surfaces that are hard to fix afterwards (blended etc)
hopefully the new base idea will work out, even if it has to wait till after TOS
I love reading these articles because they’re short but inriomatfve.
Yeah hopefully , or maybe get saved for the void raven (dependent on size …)
I imagine in black is looks pretty amazing in person, pictures rarely do it justice! I shouldn’t complain till I have tried to paint mine (and had massive issues :D)
Lol, the photos gave me paranoia so I took it into my club for people to validate its non-crapness. Verdict = plane is much better IRL, the base is fekkin crap, no really….
I have re painted the tank bitz as GK wreck, its better but does not really fix the actual problem…. Lorenzen has put forth a great idea you may all get to see after ToS.
Would have looked amazing if the base had been like a boat wake through a ocean of gore, caused by the turbulence of the fighter passing overhead 😛 dead marines floating around
