Age of Strife 'BER' Special Modeling Contest

Re: Age of Strife 'BER' Special Modeling Contest

Well as the last posted edit gained no interest I'm going to have to tripple post to give the thread a bump, lol.

I've mode some progress it's a little slower than I'd have liked and I'm still quite away off weathering this beast. Here are a few teaser pictures so my work so far. I say teaser as the photo quality is terrible. I'm not setting up just for a few WIP shots and this way it keeps the full magisty of the model a mystery for the end (watch now I've said that I'll not be able to get a good shot then either, lol).

Hope you guys enjoy and feel free to leave any feedback or thoughts.

well, i can tell you right now why i didnt spot the pictures before

editing a post doesnt make a new post, which meant as far as i knew there was no new updates to this thread :P

had i seen them, i would of told you how awful it looks, give up now because im going to decimate you with the basilisk ;)

im liking what you've done with the modelling on there, the panel variations are pretty hot, even more so now there is paint on it, in fact if i hadnt seen the original, id have said it was a store bought kit!


the wash needs a little fine tuning on the (last pic) left of the barrel around the panel lines, but aside from that im impressed :)

I know it won't have pinged up as new I just didn't want the thread to end up with just me post after post so as it was only a small update I thought I'd see how an edit would go down.

Thank you for the high praise Talus. I must admit looking at it it's hard for me to tell what was added and what wasn't without looking back at the older pictures. Some of the existing pannels had to take a beating to get them back to near square. The original model so badly built that the worst part was getting original pannels to match up and sit flush with each other and took the most sanding and filling. I can't wait to build something new out of the box, lol.

The wash did sit a little heavy over that area as the fist pass out of a new pot of paint had no pigment in it (DAMN YOU GW!!!) so I had to quickly rinse and swap to a second spare pot I'd been hoarding and as it was still wet (and would have dried oddly if not mixed with the fresh layer) it left a larger pool than I'd planed. I should have soaked some up at the time but I wasn't stricktly sure how it was going to mix with the weaker underlayer. I'm a little worried that a fix now might look odd as I'd have to do it by hand not airbrush, but that's just me putting the job off. B)

Actually talking about that pot of paint I picked it up from PC tech just before the new range hit would I be taking it back to you guys or GW for a refund/new pot? It's not gone off due to age as you tell there just isn't any pigment in it.

Posting WIP, even if you're the only one so far, is fine.

I'm still in the construction phase right now, so no real WIP to show off as yet. Plus I'm working on how everything will fit in on the battlescape base.

Hopefully I'll have a little bit to show for my efforts by the end of the week.

As for your project, it is REALLY coming out nicely. Waiting for your "better" pics to see how it is developing. But based on what you've put up so far, 4th place (for me) is looking more and more realistic :( every day!

It's really odd how similar yet completly different our two projects are Socaddict. It's coming together quite nicely. How far off paint do you think you are, hours, days, weeks?

Weeks.

Changing the hull shape further, slicing off rivets, hitting it with the mr surfacer, sanding parts, adding parts, taking stuff away...

At least I have some gunmetal spray for once its primed!

http://www.swannysmodels.com/Surfacer.html

Depending on the grit level, it can have multiple uses. its the light grey colour.

Fill imperfections then sand smooth, create cast textures on surfaces, fill (small) gaps, prime with it...

Only problem is that it dries very fast and clogs the brush.
