Once the tanks arrived I painted the Cupola Armoured Glass, Drivers Windscreen, applied transfers, added weathering and painted every rivet (lots of them). I then added the bits I've been busy doing, the Siege Shield and Pistons, Skull Motifs and Chains, Aquila, Gun Sensors, Auto Launchers (a little Chaos detailing - after all I am the Relictors), Ammo Hoist, Smoke Extractor Fan Assembly, Purity Seals, Name Scroll, Drivers Vision Guard and the Command Sensor for the Squadron Command tank (to follow).
The Ammo Hoist and Shell came up nicely. The shell case itself is simply Brazen Brass with a Devlan Mud wash and the projectile Bolt Gun Metal with a Badab Black wash. Weathering effects were mainly Calthan Brown and Graveyard Earth. (Oh, and only half painting points for this tank as I didn't do it all myself)

It looks brilliant! Well done!
ReplyDeleteTurned out very nice!
ReplyDeletePretty sharp tank there!
ReplyDeleteSweet lookin' vindi. All the extras look great. So could you estimate total cost + your own time for this guy?
ReplyDeleteAnother job well done. Looking forward to seeing the remaining two. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, number two well into production. Tristan, Linebreaker Sqdn was £50 online (i got a discount as i bought two), Paintedfigs was about $100 inc P&P for 5 tanks, so all in all this one cost about £29 and 6hrs painting/construction. Not bad eh, just over the RRP for a new one?
ReplyDeleteGreat weathering and attention to detail. You say you have 2 more? Can't wait to see them.
