Zebulon Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) So, while arguably I should strip the model back, I have tried to bring the front of the craft back to a shifting silver. Reassure me that it looks okay, or suggest that I need to start over - your choice. Edited June 18, 2020 by Zebulon Dwango 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyslugger Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Looks much more silver to me and personally I think it looks better than when it had the green wash on it. Zebulon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwango Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'm with slugger, I think it does look better buddy. Are you happy with it? Zebulon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulon Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Thanks both! I think it looks better too. I am still a bit bothered that the silver bits aren’t as smooth as I would like, but I think any further coat of paint would risk losing detail, and I would be hesitant to try stripping it so I think it’s best if I finish it up and move on to troupe 3 (twilight), my characters and the second Starweaver (which I may build as a Voidweaver) happyslugger 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulon Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Apologies for the radio silence. I hope to provide an update with some new models soon. First though, a bit of fluff relating to a couple of models you have seen previously: Ithronel and Euphriel: The Twins, sisters in blood. Vulmer, Master of the Penumbral Troupe seduced them both at a performance in their native craftworld of Biel-Tan, forever ago. Now, their home long forgotten, they vie with furious jealousy to outdo each other, each desperately seeking Vulmer’s approval by delivering the perfect coup de grâce to their luckless foes...

Zebulon Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) So, according to my local branch of GW, Skyweavers are online only. However I tend to think that’s just because he doesn’t have a big enough shop to stock most of the cool stuff. Gripe aside, I bought some Craftworlds Windriders and did this, hope you agree it looks decent: Edited July 17, 2020 by Zebulon TrawlingCleaner 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I think it looks the part. You did a great job on the conversion. That's what this hobby is all about. Zebulon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulon Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Shadowseer and Death Jester There’s nothing like a detailed photo to make you realise that actually the paint job is pretty rough... still, I enjoyed myself which is half the battle, and from a cursory glance they look fine. I know what someone was saying about the DJ model now. I had to break the spiky collar to get it in place, what were they thinking?!

Dwango Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Good stuff there zeb. I'm yet to build my DJ. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulon Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Good stuff there zeb. I'm yet to build my DJ. Any tips? Cheers! Hm, I think if I built it again I would fit the spikey collar before the arm holding the butt end of the shuriken cannon Is dry, so that there’s still some movement to get both parts in their proper place. I think that’s the only thing that would have made it easier, to be honest. Also maybe attach the ammo feed to the cannon last, as it tucks up under the spikey hood, instead of it being step 5 as shown in the instructions. I think that might help too.

Dread Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Looking good. I had to take a harder look, thought they were taken with a black light. Nice and bright, great Harlequin colors. Zebulon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyslugger Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Nice one Zeb. I haven't really done a lot of painting. I have 1k of Harlies done (not based jury still out on that) and I've built the marine side of indomitus but not much else. Your post might just give me the kick in the rear I need. Getting good at diamonds I see :-) Zebulon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
