Your Ultramarines look fantastic! Love the paint jobs you have given them and love how you have the old WD for inspiration. I love looking through those whenever I get the chance.

 

And thanks to your avatar picture I read all of your comments in the Captain's voice.

:biggrin.:  Make it so!

Perfection.

 

The land raider is looking sweet! It has the great paintjob you've been giving your army and it is awesome to see a classic mini get some TLC.

 

The black on the sponson is good. I think it is a nice way to break up so much blue on a larger tank.

Hadn't visited for a while, so hadn't seen your comment...

 

Thanks! Yeah, it stands out a bit, but in the end I decided to keep it as was, and preserve a little of the story behind this particular model.

 

When I got it, it was in a really bad shape, glued with HUH all purpose glue (or similar), some parts had been melted and deformed, and it had a quite thick coat of paint on it. This guy was Dark Angel's green, but when I started striping it, I found out that in previous lives, it had been in service of the Blood Angles, and prior to that, Space Wolves!! 

 

He now will live on as a Venerable Ultramarines Mk1.5 Land Raider Proteus

Taking this Blog in another direction now.

 

With my Deathwatch army in the pipeline, I want my vehicles unique, with a more high-tech look than the current Rhino. I had the idea of using Clouseau’s Rhino from 15 years ago, but it’s wasn’t quite what I wanted, so decided to design one based on his model, but incorporating some aspect of the current one and also some other models.

The goal you ask? Resin Printing! No to save on money, but to have something different.

Even made the hatch holes compatible with existing bits:

And here it is with a coat of primer:

The turret and the tracks are not of my design, but looked different enough from the current model, so I decided to modify them to fit my design.

Before going any further with this guy, there are a few other things in the works. I my mind, fliers dot really fit 40k scale games, so, I'm redesigning a Corvus to make it a Skimmer!

Well! in that case!

 

Here's what's just off the painting table:

Next up will be the Autarch, Farseer and Warlock, all riding the old bikes
 
Still need to figure how I can take better pics with the mobile... Might have to change the background. I don't think I used to have this issue with theUltras..
