Brother dean Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Regret Nothing Brother! It already looks better than 95% of armies out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Dang Elmo if I could I'd drive over to your house and offer my free handing services; if I can draw it I can paint it pretty much. Maybe taking a break for a couple days is the way to go, get some new perspective on the matter at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Right - came back and had another go at the wings, no change on the shield and muddied it up/weathered it but still needs another nights work before I am going to declare it complete. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0129_zps0bbb4bfe.jpg I had multiple tries at the wing and could not get it exactly as I wanted but I am happy with the overall attempt at what, to be honest, is a massive icon. I will be sticking to smaller ones in future ;) I will take better photos at the weekend in my lightbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Great job! Now grab a bit of sponge from an old blister pack and some tin bitz and boltgun and stipple some tin bitz on then a lighter stipple of boltgun to bring out the metal edges of those teeth in the muddied up bit...

elmo Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Barracuda - yes I know, boo hiss filthy xenos :) But I am waiting to see what the next SG challenge will be. I have a rhino as a side project but I have no time to complete it for this challenge due to Xmas commitments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major_Gilbear Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I think good freehand is always difficult, and especially on very big or very small areas. I also think your freehand is generally pretty good, although I can't help but feel that the 'dozer blade looks very busy. I say this despite liking the overall model though, so don't take my comments as pointed criticism - your efforts are definitely more than I would have tried myself! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Thanks brothers. Unfortunately you will have to wait till Friday for better photos/montage of the redeemed, crusader and ares. I will load them onto my 4th company thread as this one is drawing to a close. I have not forgotten about the magnetisation tutorial and should be able to work on it over the Xmas break. The siege shield has been a bit of a labour of love and I will soon get back to my normal DA. I'm looking forward to working on loads of ravenwing starting next year.
