to be perfectly honest, im putting mine off, all thats left is the crew and accessories for it, and a little clean up

im in the same boat though, i could stick the parts together right now and call it finished, but it wouldnt be an example of my usual standard, it would just be an entry for a contest where no matter what i do, im guaranteed a prize


if im in a position to, i'll get it finished tomorrow, but the fact its getting so cold up here right now, means i cant sit at my desk for long before my knee's crack on me (arthritis is a nightmare)


failing that, i'll have it posted up by the end of the week

I'm trying to decide on what decals to use and where I want to put them before I move on to weathering. The hard part is done though, she has a name. The "Absolution" will roll out to battle with my Linebreaker squadron consisting of Vengeance, Retribution and Redemption. Or my Baal preds Sacrifice and Salvation (the third to be added will be Serenity). I think I'll have it all wrapped up in a weeks time, but who knows what life might throw at me in the next few days..... Damn world getting in the way of my hobby!!!

That is definatly an interesting paint scheme. I wasn't sure in my head how it would look when you told me your colour combo, but I quite like it. On first look I thought the lateral line might be a bit much, but by the time you've painted the tracks it'll look spot on. Your highlighting is quite brutal on close inspection, but works really well. I wish I could be so bold with mine... I tend to be to resurved with my gradations, it's something I'm trying to work on! I look forward to seeing it all finished.

I have officialy finished my project. Now all I have to do it get some worthy photo's taken to show it off.

well most of the highlights, are actually just silver edging, i figure its a tank of war, the edges will be a little buggered after the first engagement :P

i've got the tracks masked off, will have them painted by the end of the day (nothing fancy, my tracks never are), i'm also almost done with the crew, just the accessories to go!



i got the forward bolter done last night, went with classic red =P


might have another update later, will see what work allows for

That, sir, is an understatement. Incredibly well done!
