ODM Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Well, I have a few I'm thinking of. First off I'm adding three drop pods to the army. I have a secret project, but I will try to stay disciplined and do this first or I'll get distracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Gabriel Macleod Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I so keep all of us updated on your project. Secret project sound interesting. There will be more pictures I hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Here's the next step. Primed doors. Slow progress because I've been working really late with my real job. However, it's something. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppoddoorsprimed.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 So, here's the next step. It may not look like much, but the base coats and the washes for the bone and metallic areas are done. Tomorrow I should be able to clean them up and highlight those secttions. After that it's the green areas, then the details on the front and the wear and tear. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppoddoorswashes.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODM Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Well, work has been keeping me out late every night, so no progress. Just letting you know I'm still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Well, not much to see, but progress is slowly being made. Assembly line drop pods suck. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppodwip2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krewl Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Just keep on chugging away at those models... Don't expect any ohhhh wow great comments yet ;) as I can see you kindoff missed some spots on the detailing there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 that's a whole lot of doors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yeah. It's slow work, and a lot of it. However, I'm still sure it's the way to tackle the project. I think next pass (Sunday or Monday) I'll get the bone and silver detailing done, as well as the cleanup. Then it won't look so messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hey, I've actually made progress. The inside of the doors and the metallics are completed, and they're cleaned up. Next step the green highlights. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppoddoorsinnerdone.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistorius Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Looking Good! I've only got one Drop Pod for my Dread so far, and I am not looking forward to painting it. Keep at it, and they'll be done in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Well, I got the inside green done on 5 doors, one pod's worth. I'm away over the weekend, but I'm planning to start picking up some momentum when I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Here's my latest progress. I completed the highlights on the green inside of the doors (hard to see). http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppoddoorsinnercomplete.gif I based and washed the icons on the outside. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppoddoorsouter1.gif And I completed the icons. Don't worry about the bad photos, once they are done I'll take some close ups. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppoddoorsouter2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 I had another marathon session tonight. I got the outside of the doors painted. Now I just need to weather and do a little clean up on them tomorrow night. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppoddoorsoutsidedone.gif http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppoddoorspainted.gif I then cleaned and primed the bases so I can start the base coats of the next step. This is exciting because the pods can start to take shape. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppodbasesprimed.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODM Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Well, I've finally had some free time to make some progress. Here are the doors and bases assembled and almost completely painted. The only painting left to do is the weathering, which I'll do once the drop pods are done. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppoddoorsbasedone.gif Here is the next step, the inner cores. As I use these pods for dreads only, I will leave the harnesses out. These have the base coat and ink wash. I have to highlight and add the details. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppodinnerturret.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Looking good. I like the metallic sections even as you have them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks Isiah. Well, more progress today. I finished the "turrets" inside the pod, primed the fins, and did the base coats and washes for the metallice and bone colors on them. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppodcenterturretsdone.gif http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppodfinsprimed.gif http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppodfinswashes.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
