The First

 

A little more variety .. Some Dark Angel bikers. These are the bikers that came in the old DA boxset a few years ago and are mostly two main pieces joined together. Then add the arm with bars and backpacks. That's really about it. 

My friends birthday was a few days ago so I figured I'd hook him up with a few painted models. I trade for these guys (pre-built sadly) and had to do some work to get them looking mostly clean then start to work on them. I filled some gaps with Mr Surfacer to get the seams out and fixed some of the wacky pieces. Two arms and bars were really off and I had to pull them and fix.

I added a wing to the Sarg's right shoulder pads and I think it looks pretty cool. Otherwise they are pretty standard to the release. 

There were a few touch ups I need to do after these pictures but it wasn't too much. But they are now all packed up and ready to travel to their new home.

Rip and Tear

 

Mixing it up a little and figured I'd paint one of the Space Hulk Blood Angels. I've been working on this guy this week and I think he's looking pretty solid. It's been awhile since I've painting something clean haha.. well.. mostly clean.

My eyes seems to be getting worse over the past year.. I'm going to have to get some new glasses as I'm missing stuff as I paint. Thankfully I can see them off the pictures ... getting close to 50 and my eyes are starting to fail me ha

Follow Me Boys

I've pretty much finished all the models I'll be taking to Nova to field so I've just been messing around with some that I might take to the painting contest. I had this model sitting here so figure'd I painting him up. 

I'm debating on the chainfist and whether I'm going to add some blood and gore. I like the way he's coming along and don't know if it will add or take away from it.

Been doing some free hand adding the strips on the bottom and center as well as adding the raven symbol. I think I'm going to adjust the icon a little, still feels a little off.. 

Also I've been going very hard on the metallics.. It's metallic paint but I'm blending and mod'n it to really show the highlights but still keeping the gritty feel.
