Hubernator Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Got a pic of the "finished" model. There's a lot that needs tweaking, mainly the details. Quick Q: I need recommendations for my yellow to make it much better. CUrrently I do an undercoat of white, then two layes of Golden Yellow, followed by two layers of Sunshine Yellow. Any idea's on improving the quality of it? Same with the lighter minty green parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherDamascus Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Good Evening Mr.Hubernator t'has been a while ;) nice to see youve entered the Phantoms into the Call, i've just joined it too! nice to see the colours on the sternguard ;) going well! regarding the yellow, try starting off with a brown like..Calthan brown, and work your way up to your final yellow...should give a better shaded effect but who knows...give it a try on a test mini i may sound like im echoing what everyone else is saying, but try picking up some washes :) they work wonders :) Ciao, ill be sure to comment regularily <<Damascus>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Ahhh Mr Damuscus, a pleasure to see you again :) Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try on the next metal victim :P I'll throw a Q to the people - is Gryphonne Sepia a good wash for yellow?

BrotherDamascus Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 i like to use ogryn flesh and a little gryphonne sepia on my yellows / nmm golds... in your case, i'd be looking to buy those two, and maybe the green one...Thraka green is it? i supose Badab black would be a wise move too... oh look i just picked half the range XD <<Damascus>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 lol I do have thraka green, been using it on the darker green of the models. Wasn't sure on ogryn flesh, doesn't seem fitting. EDIT: Here's the pic of the latest version. He'll be on standby with the others until I can fix that cursed yellow :) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10417.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Lack of update is my fault, kinda forgot. Ah well, here's a large-ish update. Now, on the CotI3 thread I put up this: http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10430-1.jpg And he's now "done": http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10432.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10433.jpg And onto the next fella: http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10435.jpg And my order hasn't arrived yet...

Hubernator Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Some news - my order has arrived from Wayland Games :P So expect some tactical marines after the Vanguard are done ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Another taster. In a random spree I partially glued together the tactical squad. Currently they don't have arms, I'll put those on once the body is done on them :) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10443.jpg I really do like the sarge that I've done :) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10447.jpghttp://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10448.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Man I'm falling behind in updates. But model wise it's getting there. Done the third Vanguard marine. He's the worst one I've done so far - the paint job is horrid and the jump-pack wouldn't actually lie flat. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10455.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10457.jpg Also did the sarge (through boredom and the nagging feeling that he had no paint on him) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10459.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10460.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Just to prove I am still in this, I've taken a pic to show some small progress. The 4th Vanguard is nearing completion (finally). Meanwhile I've been blu-tacing the other tacticals together to give me an idea of how they're gonna look. The bodies, heads and backpacks are glued together (minus the last 2 as the heads fell off :)). Opinions reqired for this as I don't wanna mess these up when I get going again next. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10477.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10478.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10479.jpg {as you can see I've painted the weapons for the end guy} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 Vanguard are done :) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10480.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10482.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10483.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10484.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienerd Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 You really need to water your paints down. You're neat with the application, but the paint is so thick, most of the detail is being lost on each model, especially the scout sergeant's face.

Hubernator Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 I think I can say I have good reason with the metal ones. The darn paint keeps coming off :lol: I've tried thinning now and I've managed a way of getting it relatively right. I'll be trying it on my next models. As for the scout sarge, he's been glossed so I can't really change that. Besides I'm gonna tryn something new for the faces when I get round to painting one :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienerd Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 It can be a pain with metal models sometimes, my damned emperor's champion especially -_- I found that if after undercoating the models with a spray primer, if you still have trouble with flaking, varnish them, and then paint. works wonders for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 An update for me. Made progress on the tactical marines, course they still need tidying up.

Hubernator Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 And just to shake this thread into life once more, I have an update for my Tactical marines. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10519.jpg If you can make it out, I've painted the bases brown and assembled them all, fully painted too. Gonna work on the chapter symbols for all of them this week as well as neaten up the arms. Then I'll get a groupshot :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Finished my Call today, so here's all the tacticals :lol: http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10522.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10523.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10524.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10525.jpg And as a treat, the 2 units completed http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10530.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 C'mon guys, one guess? Anyone? Do I need to start hinting before I end up painting them? If so, here's the hint: there's 6 of them and one of them carries the standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
