WIP November 3

Hey guys 3th WIP post for November already(we're doing good!) and I have some more progress on Captain Sicarius for you, also there have been some little changes to the layout of the blog yesterday, I have rewritten the "about me" text and added a picture to my blog tittle(the same as I use for my profile). I hope you have seen these little changes and like them feedback about them is always welcome!

Alright up to the painting part, as you can see from the picture above I have painted some more details on Sicarius his  main body, I only have to do the golden eagle on his right shoulder... and I got some idea's for free-hands and symbols on his cloak. Talking about the cloak, as you might see I have made the inner cloak a bit brighter because it looked better in my opinion. (You can see how it looked like before here)

Just to go on about his cloak, I tried another way of painting red than I usually do on this model, I started with a dark brown base coat, blended red in to get some kind of "dark cherry red" and from that I blended my highlights to bright red. I am very happy with the result and mixing the dark brown with red also gave me new idea's about painting blood.

Last post you saw a WIP picture of  his display base, lats weekend I have added sand to the base and undercoated it. After that I dry brushed the base with P3 Greatcoat grey and old citadel codex gray to get a view on the shadows and brighter pieces, anyway it looks way better then the pre-build from last post, below are a picture and one for size compering to the model.(the wood has been covered with tape for undercoating and the painting process) 

WIP October 1

Hey guys it has been a while but here are the first WIP pictures for October. We start with Sicarius, I have worked on the gold trims on his power armor and I started with the inner cloak. The inner cloak will get some kind of a free hand pattern (probably ultramarines symbols) which I will paint in white. The cloak has a little green tone and I am still doubting if I keep it like this or make it more khaki, what do you think about it?

I also started working on his hand that holds the sword, I really like to paint this kind of big marines hands because it quite easy to highlight them but if you build you highlights careful up the effect will be real good.

Furthermore I have painted another stormvermin, doing these guys really reminds me that I have to put some more time into my warhammer armies, winter is coming and that is the time me and my friends play most of or warhammer games and yeah I want to have some painted models for that. I am still thinking about adding battle damage to the red armor because it is kinda flat this way.

Keep on happy painting!

Late September WIP's

Hey guys some WIP shots from what I have down yesterday. Because of my internship and again a busy weekend I have made a little progress on Sicarius but I also started something new what is still a kind of "secret project" but more about that later this post. First of all why I had a busy weekend, well Saturday was my birthday and I am now 17 years old! Already getting the first grey hairs.. nah just kidding :P So my parents arranged my first driving lesson that day, your all warned another danger on the road has been born!

Furthermore my internship takes a lot of my free time, I am doing well and I really enjoy it to be working in the civil engineering/road building but making all the reports and other stuff for school is quite boring. Also it is quite a pain to make these while staring at your still not finished projects, but yeah I have to keep working for school because there is a deadline at the end of this week and I still have some(read lots of) stuff to do.

Alright enough of my personal drama for this post let go to the hobby part; As you might understand from the post title I want to make monthly based WIP post with progress form several project, simply because variation keeps me going and it gives you my dear readers and followers some more eye candy every post. so here we go:

Captain Sicarius

As you can see I have done some more detail on Captain Sicarius, I am really happy with the results of the purplish-red ribbons with the golden ultramarines symbols the ended up exactly as I wanted them to be and they fall good in combination with the blue armor and green details. I also started on some gold, the patience I had with the glazing really pays off even when I am now only halve way. I am wondering about making a tutorail on how to paint gold like this so maybe that will be the next post!? (I have already done a tutorial for painting golden armor you can check it out here)

The secret project

I am not going to tell you a lot about this one, I got two pictures and I one you can find I kinda big hint for the project, but I also have to warn you I could take some time before I get started with this. I got the idea last week and I started doing some research and building but it seems that I need some more stuff/information to get good started so yeah this could be pushed back for a while. anyway here are the pics:

and as always keep on happy painting!

WIP captain sicarius

Hey guys last post you have seen his head and now we got his body, well work in progress body ;) Still quite busy with my internship(and that will continue for some more weeks) so we are making little steps in our progress. Anyway the blue power armor and the green wreath(forgot the real name for this one got something to do with champions) are done. The ultramarines symbol is not painted pure white, I mixed some grey in because I am thinking of painting a kind of zenithal highlighting on it, to give it some more structure. Next up are the golden parts, for this I want to start with a quite light base coat and then use lots of different brown glazes to shade the whole thing down.

Keep on happy painting!

In the grim darkness of the far future there are flying heads

Hey guys small WIP post for today, still busy with my internship and school work for that. But I have started a new project, you might recognize the head it is from captain Sicaris (ultramarines 2nd company captain). Painting it like this is way easier then on the mini, basically because the neck is surrounded by shoulder pads and power armor which makes it real hard too paint every spot good. Personal I like to be able to paint the eyes from every direction and that is kinda hard when there is a full body below the head. some more pics:

Next up: his body and I am thinking of making a tutorial about painting blue power armor.

anyway keep on happy painting!
