Brother dean Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Fine then! Have some bad pix. Yes, the command squads are oversized so I can have options to swap in and out.

Brother dean Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Having said that a few days ago... Shiny new stuff syndrome has struck. Opened the box at 8:30p tuesday night... 10:00p Wednesday and I am mostly done with the interior. 5 or so direct hours of work. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/DSCN9471.jpg the outside is just blocked in with foundation paints, except for the base, I dunno what color to make the burnt bits on the bottom... (and it isnt assembled yet, I just test fit it all together) http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/DSCN9472.jpg I am going to mess with making some black scorch from the bottom up with my airbrush... Razorback is on the table next to it and I need to finish first squad too... SNSS at work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Way to go Brother dean! I know what you mean about new shiny stuff! -_- I think black scorch with the airbrush would do the trick. You could add some tin bitz drybrushing at the bottom of the black for easy effect! So Razorback then? This reminds me, I should be working on my transports too... Can't wait for the finished product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Mrs. Dean and I have an agreement that I wont get a new toy till the old new toy is painted... I've had this Rhino/back/dator sat half painted for a bit and she hasnt cottoned on that a pod is a "like" product. If I get tracks on it and the bone and highlights painted quick she wont figure it out... http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/Metalbox010.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/Metalbox011.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/Metalbox038.jpg Look, a random fig: http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/Metalbox035.jpg My CF captain has somebody to stand next to...

Formerly a member of The Lion’s personal bodyguard, his penchant for survival even though greviously wounded/damaged is legendary. However his intractability has also become legendary. Brothers from the society Mechanicus have learned not to equip Gabrael with flamers because he will immediately scorch any green paint from his carapace. “I am a Dark Angel and our Livery is black!” As this usualy makes quite a scene in the Chambers of Awakening, they continue to keep his armored hide painted in the original black with the antique legion markings.

Brother dean Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Magnetizing your Nephilim/Dark Talon I started off with my stack of ¼”x1/16” (big) magnets and 1/8”x1/16” (small) magnets. A note on magnets is that you need to make sure the poles are pointed the right way, I did this by doing one half a join and letting it dry then putting the mag for the other half onto the first half and then pushing it into the hole in the second piece. I like to call this a backer bar. It’s just a piece of sprue stuck to the bottom side of the glue tabs for the top plates. (it’s an entirely different top plate depending on your aircraft.) http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/DSCN9639.jpg I stuck some sheet steel to the backer bar and glued the magnets directly to the top plates in places where they wont actually touch the tin so the plate wont sit higher than it should. (Big magnets) http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/DSCN9641.jpg The side bits, (small magnets) The antenna bits already had a void the right size I just ran a drill bit into it a little to make sure the magnets sat in there correctly. For the Stasis cell plates, very carefully drill your hole without pushing it all the way through and stick your magnet in. Some scraping of the “cone” shae from the drill bit may be needed to make it sit deep enough. Just drill a hole all the way through the fuselage piece, stuff your magnet in and super glue it, if you push it all they way through, well you have the top plate off, you can just fish it out. right.http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/DSCN9638.jpg and I would have rather put a backer bar underneath the cockpit but I got excited putting it together and I forgot so I cut another piece of tin and put into the nose weapon mount and the magnets are going into the weapons. I haven’t decided how to hang the Rift cannon yet as it sits on the outside instead of down in the hole…. I’m thinking I have to build up some backer bars… http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/DSCN9636.jpg Now for the bottom… http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/DSCN9643.jpg Put a small mag in the nozzle and another in the mating surface on the bottom… I could have just put tin over the Avenger mega bolter ammo plates but I put a large magnet on the bottom side, It doesn’t touch so the plate will still fit down properly. [add pic] For the Stasis bomb I just drilled that mag into the middle and sanded it flat and stuck the other one right next to the peg on the bomb. You cant really tell after paint. [add pic] For the ML/Hurricaine bolters I added a backer bar inside the housings (see above bottom picture) and glued a magnet inside and there will be an accompanying magnet on the weapon bits, just pull them out and put back in… [add pic] Now the HB/landing lights. I am just going to sink a magnet into the recess where the HBs moun. I might put magnets in the HBs but I am leaning towards just cutting more tin to just stick to the weapons because there is no place on the landing lights to hide a magnet… they will have to have tin… [add pic] I’ll update the missing pics as I get the build finished. As I said, I think I am at 26 magnets but that could be cut down quite a bit by using more tin. The vertical Stabilizer is a tight enough fit that you could leave it as a friction fit to swap it back and forth but I went ahead and glued in the Dark Talon tail. Very fuzzy wip shot. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Dark%20Angels/DSCN9644.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
