Dont worry. I dont play any more and just paint for fun so you will find non fluff stuff and weapon load outs all over this thread. Any advice is greatly appreciated The heads not fixed (you can see the blutac under the neck) so Im planning to take it off and paint laurels on the side (see the Sargent I did early on in this thread) I think that also counts doesnt it?

Flint13 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Glad to see you back to painting, Rich. I can't say much that everyone else hasn't already. Gorgeous, breath taking, unfairly pretty, all fit the bill quite nicely ^_^ I'll have to try that "taking a pic thru the magnifier" trick. I have one of those ringy daylights myself.

UltraRich Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Thanks everyone Its good to be back and Im at it with a vengeance again So while Im waiting for the GS to cure Ive started the base for my Land Speeder Storm and looked at salt weathering for my Fellblade. This may need to go in a tut but here is my weathering results Ive used my old baneblade turret that may well end up on my Valkyrie base Firstly undercoat. Ive not bothered about clean up (it was an ebay purchase) http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3262_zpsc3197e10.jpg Then spray brown, bit of black, bit of orange then dab orange on with a sponge http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3264_zps487b6701.jpg Slap on some hairspray and salt (rock and fine salt) In hind site I went a bit too far http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3266_zpscdb6e79d.jpg Spray dark green, medium green and light green or whatever top colour you want http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3267_zps5658b6c3.jpg Leave it to dry then use a brush and water to wash off the salt On this one Ive added a few water streaks with a wash http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3268_zpscc05d85c.jpg And the final version with a few features picked out and some of the bigger rust highlighted with dark and highlights (Ive not done the Aquila yet) http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3275_zps8a38d99b.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3276_zpsc4db145a.jpg I like the result but Im not sure I want to do my tank like this as it looks too old and dilapidated. I cant see a UM tank getting in this state Here is the PDF base Ive started for my Storm so I'll use this technique on the bastion and barrels http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3273_zps98636eca.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Ive cracked on with the storms base. Its now undercoated and had a light dry brush before I detail it http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3300_zpsdb277b69.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3302_zps4e76c215.jpg Heres a mock up with the PDF in place Im aiming for numbers on the wall with the sergeant and radio operator at the back with the sergeant looking up as the storm flys over http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3304_zps7b9ac0e4.jpghttp://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3305_zps010ab960.jpg I need to order some plastic rod but heres a mock with wire http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3306_zpsb7e9e6ff.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I wanted to try and tie in that this is a PDF line so Ive used up some of the space in front with the addition of a marine. I tried it behind the line in the middle but it looked wrong without him out in front Ive given the base and wall a wash with mig pigment + vodka. I then sealed it with a spay of lathium medium. I then had the mother of all nightmares when some of the base frosted. Ive had to re wash it and I think its ok now http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3311_zps2cb57dea.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw at some point it was written but didn't understand all of it. I want to do Ultras and these are the best that I have seen so far. Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment
UltraRich Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Ok, so after a 4 month break I thought Id ease myself back into painting with a gentle starter..... So here we go. This is the mostly undercoated version of my converted Fellblade. Im hopefully going to document and blog the painting and weathering process as Im going to try a couple of new techniques on this. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3813_zpsyi31ol2l.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3814_zpskaxrvmiv.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I think I remember seeing those turrets somewhere before... Blood and Skulls Industry, is it? Thats right I got the kit off their ebay shop. It wasnt cheap but it sure beefs up the tank. Ive made a couple of mods to extend the barrel and add a sensor to the front so Im pretty pleased with how it looks now. Thats probably why Ive not hit it with paint yet!
