Ok busy and not taking photos cos I'm lazy!! But that business has party been in good ways. So an update.
Firstly there was some complaints about previous terminator images (as well as sizing), so a quick reshoot of some of them:



So with them finished it was onto the next batch of three (doing them in small groups is less mind numbing) which are not quite finished yet.

However shy of some miracle I'm not going to get them finished in the last 30 mins of October so looks like I'm not going to hit this months target. Why is that? Random other projects which are on the way. Here's one of them - Mr Giant:



I was going for a different, darker colour for the skin as I don't imagine him spending much time indoors. Once I've finished painting him I'm going to add some mud effect too.
The other project has been my vindicator. Here's some shots as it goes stage by stage:
So green in place (Orkshade Green, then Dark Angel Green, then Thraka Green Wash) and metal areas based coated Boltgun Metal.

Then two lots of edging over the green - Dark Angel Green and Snot Green. For the metal it was a Devlan Black and Mudab Brown wash.

Next step is some tidying up. I'm happy with the main colours, so purity seal is sprayed over the lot to seal it together. Then it's on to weathering.

A nice tip from the Imperial Armour Modelling book is to spray hair spray over an area, then paint a thin coat of another colour over the top. In this case Dark Angel Green was stippled over the bulldozer blades washed Boltgun Metal. Then with an old brush and some warm water rub away at the paint. The hair spray loosens and you get the effect below, which you then reseal seal with Purity spray.

Next stage for this is rewashing the blade with brown and black and start to play with weathering powders.
