Clearing my Backlog (Spring Cleaning Thread)
The fall of ED 209
Time for an update! I’ve been painting a couple more orks and gretchin this weekend.
I also started working on my Dreadnought. I considered magnetizing the body and weapons for a while, but the poor guy was in really bad condition, so I decided to go for durability and pin all of the individual parts together.
As you can see, I painted some of the parts and details before assembly. For the paint scheme I’m using Sho3box’s Dreadnought as a reference, with some minor changes here and there. I’ve been using Vallejo’s Matt Varnish lately, to coat all of my minis.
Something I’d like to do is add some bullet shells on the base. I’ve been trying to find a good tutorial or tips on how to make those, but I haven’t found a good solution yet. So if you have a good technique for sell casings, please sound off in the comments.
Oh, and after a visit to my parents’ basement, I now have the entirety of my Space Crusade models. I should go through these carefully and make sure there’s nothing missing. (There’s something missing, I’m sure).
You can use brass rods, just cut them to the desired length. Greenstuffworld sell them in different sizes, your local model store should also have them, since RC model plane builders use them as well.
Hey thanks! Actually, I should have some brass rod in here somewhere. I’ll try to find some, cut some bits, and see what they look like on the base. d(^^)
