WarriorFish Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I've finally made enough progress to warrant a WIP topic for my Baneblade! It's all ready to be under coated: I've assembled all I can, the sponsons are just resting and will be done separately with the other bits to make painting easier I'm hoping I can get it painted quite quickly as tanks are my speciality, maybe even get a first coat of green on today before I'm back at work tomorrow?

WarriorFish Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 I do have one, but it's the GW one and the damn thing isn't very good. Maybe I can get the ratio right but honestly I just don't care for it, too much hassle. I'd rather paint it by hand, I'm good at tanks and I've done well enough all these years :P I'm sadly back at work now, but I'm looking forward to the weekend when I can sink my teeth into this :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hm, I would actualy recommend that you put the brush to it as opposed to the teeth.. unless you want to show some realistic Monstrous Create battle damage, which is certainly an imaginative way of doing it.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 If I were to get anywhere near my tanks it'd be to kiss them and tell them how much I love them The only marks on this beauty will be kill marks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 It is a wondrous thing to behold To think I've had it since they were first released, I even have the certificate they gave out with it somewhere I'm currently on a break as I work through the green, I'm glad I have a nice big brush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachymike123 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Well you don't do things by half Warriorfish. Last year was awesome, and you're just improving on that really. Maybe you're just showing off with a Baneblade but hey, how do you improve on awesomeness ;) Good luck with your vow, I'm sure this won't be the only thing you'll be entering.

WarriorFish Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 It is our way mate, as you well know Thanks - I'm hoping to get this done quickly so I can move on to a Platoon I've assembled as I know they'll take me some time to finish. I'm aiming for a third vow this year As is tradition, time for a blurry photo (almost as blurry as my eyes now): That's the first coat of green done. Took a little longer than I'd hoped but I was busy doing other things in between painting bits. Doing it in stages is better too, prevents any paint drying out which is always a risk when you're painting a lot. It wasn't all roses though: Casualties are to be expected, what matters most is to make sure the sacrifice was not in vain! Onwards to glory!

Kriegsmacht Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Sweet tank. CAn't wait to see it finished. Make sure you give those brushes a proper burial. They endured a lot for your cause. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 How did you manage to do that to your brushes? Baneblade looking good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviar Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Good to se that the Baneblade is making progress. The metal on my brushes is the part that usually gives in. The battle damage on yours, is quit frankly impressive, kind of an art of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Good work, but how in the name of Holy Terra did your brushes break there? You hold them by the furthest point from the bristles?? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Something far more mundane I'm afraid, the brushes were sitting in their holes in the tray when it was on the floor and I hit them with my foot as I forgot they were there when I walked over them. An unintentional Titan impression :P They're still good to paint with which is the most important thing. The weather is looking ok today, so having done the first coat in the evening it works out nicely now with some decent light to get the final coat done properly today. I'm starting to think that I could almost finish it this weekend if I'm lucky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 The weather held nicely, but I've been painting for long enough today. I should give my back and shoulder some rest so I'm ready to go again tomorrow! Here is my progress for today: The green is done and dry brushed, I've started using Loren Forest as my highlight colour now and I like how it looks. A shame the colour didn't exist all those years ago but I've got a second pot so I can redo my other tanks (good job I've still not settled on a weathering method yet!). I've also done the base coat for the white so that's ready to be finished off tomorrow along with starting on the metallics. Putting it like that makes it sound like it's almost done but the tracks are going to be a bit fiddly in places I think. Even so I'm still confident I can get most of that done this weekend. I'm quite busy next week but I reckon there will be enough time to finish it off by the end of the week I'm not sure about the hull vision slits though, should they be painted as lenses or kept black as slits?

WarriorFish Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks BCK, it was going so well I couldn't resist going back to it tonight... I've made a good start on the metal, doing the larger bits. I've left the more detailed bits for tomorrow's natural daylight though I'll sure I'll find some mistakes to regret in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
