Bjornas Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Have had these lying around for more than a year now :( thought I'd post them here for some ideas and criticism, to hopefully get me going on them again. (also I'm experimenting with photobucket so please tell me whether it's working or not :)) Chaplain and Vet.

Mac Gal Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Nice GS-ed moustaches and khokhols / oseledets. I always liked the Space Cossacks* :D... And awesome job on painting the white / red on the bike on first photo of 2nd post... i already can forsee that this will be one great looking army, if you get to finishing them :P *- yeah, yeah, i know they are mongols, but they look more like cossacks to me :).

zaku41k Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Sweet, excellent paint job :D I like the Biked Vet Serg w/Powerfist... what better banner than enemy carcases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satyroth Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Nice trophy in first pick. I can just see it flying off or making the bike pull wheelies all the time lol due to loss of aerodynamics.... :D "damn sarg has lost the banner again..." "WHAT! not again" "yup, its skidding down the road, right into that horde of Chaos" "damn..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjornas Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well well what do you know, I actually DID work on them :) Two bikes and one rider as good as finished. Rider needs a few coats of Boltgun metal + Badab black, and the bases aren't even started yet but anyways: Lefts and rights http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh54/Bjornas88/CIMG0322.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh54/Bjornas88/CIMG0321.jpg Fronts http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh54/Bjornas88/CIMG0323.jpg Bike with said rider (kinda pleased with the pose, all fast and slashy) http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh54/Bjornas88/CIMG0324.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh54/Bjornas88/CIMG0325.jpg Not too pleased with the red 'stripes', they turned out too big. I will most definately add dirt and battle damage later on aswell, plain white on its own is rather dull. I did try to do offwhite w/ purewhite highlight at first, but despite pouring an additional half a pot of Skull White into my original mix, it still ended up being too gray for my taste, so I stuck with plain-white-mode (which btw is alot worse done than it looks, alot of grey still show through the white in rl, so it's like it's highlighted anyway). Next up: Meltagunner for the unmanned bike (can't have that!) /Bjornas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 That biker is in a fantastic pose - fast and slashy indeed! It's a wonderful model, and makes the White Scars look very appealing indeed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DextrousWombat Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 They look very nice! How do you do the White?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjornas Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Cheers :) The white I sprayed black, coated astronomican grey, coated "offwhite" mix on (massive failure on my part, but I'm sure it'll work out for others) and then basically did loads of white coats.

NemFX Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I know they are born in the saddle, but those bikes look a little too pristine and undamaged considering that they are in continuous use.. Maybe some scratches or evidence of a skid out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some scratches or evidence of a skid out? Yeah, like I said, I will most definately go back and do stuff like that later when the rest of the squad's finished (need to find a sweet tutorial on scratches and dirt aswell, anyone got some tips?). Quantity painting has top priority at the moment, though ^_^ Born in the saddle means they're anything BUT pristine ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwenCrute Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Owen's brother Alex says: Gotta agree with you about the pose on the tulwar biker. He is freakin magnificent. The longer I live and the more models I see, the more I realise that the pose is about the most important part of a great model, and you sir have nailed it.

Maybe some scratches or evidence of a skid out? I agree that some bikes should be knocked around a little, most bikers I know get utterly depressed when they scratch they're bike. I know of one lad that cleans his rims and joins between faring pieces with a tooth brush. Some bikers are fanatic cleaners :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sensei Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Oooh White Scars ! Nice chapter and a real impressive job out of it, please carry-on. When you'll work out the bases, think about weathering toe minis a bit, it adds much to a luminous color sheme like this one. Btw, I was wondering if it could be possible to give the bases a work that indicates movement (for bikes only of course) like pulling all features to the back (I dunnow if I make myself clear, english beeing not my initial gothic language)... Hmmm look at a drawing or image from a film and see how speed is treated... It could bring a lot to these already dynamic minis. And hmmm some heat effects on the exhaust pipes could look good too (see motorcycle IRL) or this poor thing in mini http://s145.photobucket.com/albums/r226/Da...anon_Profil.jpg ... Hmmm RL will fit better 8). Hmmm permission to steal the idea of the armour stand trophee ? DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjornas Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Thanks gang ;) Here's what's up atm: http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh54/Bjornas88/CIMG0334.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh54/Bjornas88/CIMG0335.jpg Last two bikes and a rider for one of the finished ones. Dark Sensei: You mean like putting gravel and stuff behind the wheels? making tracks? I'm considering desert bases with black trim to counter the white, so tracks and dirt would definately be appropriate. I've made all the horsetails lean backwards to indicate that they're flowing with the wind. As for the exhausts, I'll probably do them like these flamers: http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh54/Bjornas88/CIMG0338.jpg It's really just two drybrushes of bestial brown and chaos black, but I like the matt result compared to doing it with for example brazen brass. (also in the background you can see what keeps me going during the day: Burn energydrink <3) And steal as much as you like ;) Thanks for the comments /Bjornas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sensei Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hmmm your BLs are very nice, congratz ! The burn effect will be nice are the very end (smoke and burning effect) but I though about pure blue and a bit orange heat effect on chrome (just like exaust tubes from bikes)... My pic is too poor to show appropriately. Talking about the base, I imagined "shaping" the dirt in order to give the impression of uter speed http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...hl%3Dfr%26lr%3D Look at the dirt ! I know it may not be that simple... Track effects are a good idea too 8). DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjornas Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Bikes pretty much done :) Right, front and left views: http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh54/Bjornas88/CIMG0348.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh54/Bjornas88/CIMG0351.jpg http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh54/Bjornas88/CIMG0356.jpg I intended to take a group shot aswell, but my friggin camera wouldn't take any clear pictures so I got pissed and skipped it <_< I know they look somewhat dull atm but it'll get better when I've finished stage 2 and 3 (riders and bases/dirt respectively), around christmas or so hehe Also, please comment my list, the one in post #3. That'll give you a hint of what's up aswell :) /Bjornas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thWS Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 A friend of mine gave me a tutorial on battle damage, I believe he got it from CoolMini. The guy who did this is just awesome, very smooth. The finished mini is here: http://www.coolminiornot.com/59386 - the tutorial was just on the helmet! but it applies everywhere. "the micro-painting work starts: with dark flesh and black, scratches are drawn on painting, mainly on the edges, then underlined with white, to create an effect of "trompe l'oeil". At this time, you may want to make small spots of dark flesh pure and bestial brown in the recesses and zones of shade." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sensei Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Héhé, when I saw you talking about helmet tutorial, I was sure you'd be talking about Cyril. I'm afraid he doesn't paint much those last times... Linky on his site, enjoy : http://neomodel.free.fr/index02.html DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
