ODM Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Here's the update. I got the metal areas highlighted and the the bone colors done. Next step is to highlight the bone areas, then clean up the black areas and highlight them green. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppodfinsboneandmetal.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkangeldentist Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Very impressive ODM, not least because of the large scale batch painting. I look forward to the finished products. It's been very nice seeing all the stages you break it down into. Thank you for the project log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 You're welcome Dentist. Here's the next step. The bone areas have been highlighted. Next I'll clean up and highlight the black/green areas. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppodfinswhitehighlights.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Nice work - they will look great when finished. Do you plan to paint some troops after drop pods ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krewl Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Just a question watching your paint technique on the bleached bone parts. Why do you wash first on the entire area, the paint it a solid bleached bone and highlight with skull wite. Seems like a lot of wasted wash there, for just a few inclinations with the darker washed colour. Apart from that, getting a great look again, as always. Is this one giung to ebay again or are you going to play this list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are for my gaming army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Here's the progress. I got 5 of the "clean up" stages done, basically one drop pod's worth. Two to go, then I can start the green. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppodfinsblack.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krewl Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Looking crisp again, have you got an army list ready yet for us to criticize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Looking crisp again, have you got an army list ready yet for us to criticize? Lol, I have 4000pts plus in painted DA. I can play any list. I've moved recently and 1500 seems to be the local standard, so I've been trying different things each time. My current projects are more in the nice to have and/or fun mode rather than base units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Here's my next update. I finished the clean up on the last 10 fins, and then decided to assemble to pods. Probably not the best plan, but I got a wild hair. Now at least they're playable. Next step, green highlights on the fins. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppiodfinsblack10.gif http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppodsassembledwip.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 The pods are looking very good indeed. But, what's that interesting item on your wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 It's a painting, back from the days when I thought I was an artist. I 'll post a picture. I will be finished with all the pods tonight and will post pics. Boy will I be happy to be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Here is a snapshot of the completed pods. I'll take a better picture when they're sealed. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/droppodsfinished.gif Notice the Company Markings. Also, for Isiah, here are the paintings that were behind the pods. I had done a hole series for a show, all 2'x5'. When I moved for my new job I needed something to put on the walls, so I dug them out. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/dougpainting.gif http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/kpainting.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODM Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 After all that work, I've decided to treat myself with a character model to paint before my next project. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/ezekielmodel.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Drop pods look great. I like mostly the paint wear on them. And… You’re paintings are gorgeous – you are an artist. Never abandon that thought !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Good looking pods.... and paintings. :P Looking forward to see Zeke painted by you... You're off to a good start with the simple yet effective backpack conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Thanks guys. Ezekiel's going to be fun to paint. Painting minis took over from big paintings, once those just started to get stacked in the closet once they were done. At least I can display the minis in a case.

krewl Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 They are a lot easier to collect then painting yeah.. ;-) I like the B/W style of the painting though, nice and minimal and with crisp lines. Especially the top painting is a nice one I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Thanks Krewl. Here's the first shot of Ezekiel. He's pretty much done except for the backpack. That'll be tomorrow. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/ezekielwip1.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
