Navigator Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Do you not get the problem of mould lines everywhere painting from the sprue? Painting is coming on tho, maybe a wash and ink here and there would be good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Unlike most people both my brother and I don't have a problem with mould lines, so we get by just fine. So if you see any mould lines on my models or my brother's then don't jump up and down pointing them out because we'll drown you out with static :P Speaking of which, I've nearly finished gluing him together. Pics very soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 And here he his :) Just needs a wash over the green and maybe in other places, then a gloss coat and he's done dusted :D http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10180.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10183.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10184.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10185.jpg C&C welcome :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernmist Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 They're all lookin' pretty good for first time paints ^_^ Just one comment ... and it's a basing comment! If you're going to base up with the static grass, just make sure you paint your bases an earth colour first. Otherwise you can kinda see the bright colour you used on the feet through the grass. Other than that, keep going and you'll have improved quite a bit in no time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks :D I'll make sure to paint over the blue tinge on the base with black so it doesn't show through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10193.jpg Just a small update before I base and gloss him. Had a go at the Chapter Symbol; seems to have come out alright, but the top is bigger than the bottom <_< and I can't seem to correct said error, so I'll leave it.

Hubernator Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 good form ,, 2 things tho , dont base coat the base black use a brown or green , and are you sure you want to gloss varnish? , there is no coming back from gloss!! Well I've done it before. And I'm going to try out some spray-on gloss on this guy and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 and I can't seem to correct said error, so I'll leave it. You could just go over parts of the symbol with Dark Angels green until your happy with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Well I don't use DA green for the minis, I make my own green. Plus the CS keeps getting bigger on the top. I've done the top twice, I could try it again later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well I decided for tweaking purposes not to gloss any more minis. And I just based the multi-melta guy, and now I claim him finished :blink: http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10196.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10198.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10201.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10202.jpg C&C encouraged before I put this in the HoH and put the thread to rest for a while :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well I decided the Chapter Symbol needed redoing and the skull on the gun, so that's just what I've done http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10219.jpg Need opinions on him please :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 *blows dust off of thread again* *chokes on dust* :P ..."ahem" I'm back and with a small update, and an announcement: the army will grow! :P Yes after many months I somehow have acquired a ton of cash which I plan to use wisely. So I'll be purchasing some more Marines for my Phantoms army ;) And the update - well, all I can say is "It's about time" :P The Vanguard I got for Christmas are finally getting finished ;) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10370.jpg Bases done first for some reason... http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10371.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10377.jpg And here's the small progress on the first of the 5. These guys are gonna take forever, too many fiddly bits and imperfections on the models themselves :D curse metal models...

Hubernator Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Heh I think I made really bad timing putting up an update... -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well since I decided to answer to the Call of the Imperium MkIII, I want to finish these guys off badly. And I've made more progress. And before anyone says, I know there are blobs of paint all over him, that's the idea ;) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10389.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10391.jpg And my dad let me use some glue to test out on a marine: http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10387.jpg Seems like a success to me. Onwards and upwards! C&C welcome :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 No love? ;) Ah well, onwards and upwards. Here's the progress from last night that I didn't get to upload until now: http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10393.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10395.jpg Current progress - swapped the boltpistol with a plasma pistol while gluing :o very close call. Anyway, I'm painting that so expect some more really quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Porn Matt Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I dont know why but your finished models seem to 'work' colourwise for me, when i really didnt think they would. I think its been mentioned a few times but uses some washes will really add some depth to your chars, dont be heavy handed and dont be affraid to water them down and try diffrent colour washes. It can really improve the quality of a model with very little effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks ;) Yeah I plan to get a few more washes when I go out or order some stuff - one for the yellow for sure, man is that annoying to make look good :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Here is today's small update. As you can see I've picked the paint off the top of the legs as i was way too thick. I've also had a crack at gluing his arm down, hopefully it'll work this time. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10402.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10401.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 And today's update so far. Finally got the legs done to a reasonable standard :) Working on the base bit underneath his feet: http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10403.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10404.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 He's just about done now. Probs needs a few washes in places and reinofrcement on the glued bits. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10408.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
