I’m happy to report that painting has begun on the White Scars jetbike, and this is what I have so far:

I’ve decided to leave the white until last, as it’s too easy to mess it up if done before many of the other details. Especially with a colour like red being involved. So next up will be getting that aforementioned red looking a bit nicer than it is, and getting on with all the details 😀
Finished the final wee details required for the construction of the jetbike, such as adding the head, a few tweeks on the positioning on the right arm and a wee bit of fur wrapped around the torso. And here he is:

Now its time to get painting him 😀
I’m now onto my next commission which will be the Sameal on jetbike model converted up to be a counts as White Scars Captain.

I began work today on taking away any Dark Angels symbols and replacing them with White Scars lighting bolts. I decide the book across the front wouldn’t fit in, and after rummaging through the old bits box found the Space Marine combat shield to be a great fit, so one green stuff lightning bolt later, I had the perfect replacement. I also knew the torso would need to completely replaced, as there where too many DA symbols in hard to get to places, and wanted to make sure he looked a wee bit more unique.
Next up is the head, I’m thinking one of the marine heads with a top knot added and some good old mongolian-esque facial hair should make it look the part 😀
Over the last few days, as well as painting more Dreadball than you can shake a stick at, I’ve began prepping the next Basilisk for the Death Korp army. Its now got all of the base colours in place, now its time to work on the rust 🙂
Had time today to get some additional shots of the Hydras from all angles, so here you go:

This afternoon has been spent getting the last bits and bobs on the Hydra’s done, which means they are now done and dusted 😀

Will be getting a few more detailed images of them over the next few days, individual shots from all sides and such 🙂 Then it’s on to the next project (still making up my mind as to what that will be :-/)
More work has been done on the Hydra’s this week, with the main hull and metals done, and the red started.

Once the red is complete it’s only the details and adding some dirt to the tracks to do, so should be complete fairly soon. Then its onto an option of things, might be a dreadball team, more Tau or even something completely random…
I now have a good start on the hydra’s, the main hull colour and the battle damage are just about done:

I’ve used a common method of salting for the battle damaged, and found it a lot easier the more tanks I’ve done. The basic process is as follows;
I have noticed a few deposits of salt still left, so going to do a bit more scrubbing today and then get on with the next stage 😀
Finished the second lot of 5 Fire Warriors this afternoon, whilst waiting for bits of the Hydra’s to dry, and here they are:

And here’s a shot with the whole Gang 😀
Fire Warrior Squad
Getting so close to my gaming target now, I’m sweating in anticipation(This could be in part to the unusual heatwave we are experiencing in Edinburgh). I have a box of Fire Warriors which should now be ready to pick up and after them all I need is a one more battlesuit. But before that I have the Hydra’s to do, of which I’ll be popping an update up over the weekend…
The Fire Warriors are finished, well the first half of the squad is anyway 🙂

With these guys done, I will be moving onto the tanks for the Death Korp commission. That’s just gonna be the 2 Hydras for now, with the basilisk getting done for the beginning of next month. Since the tanks have a fair bit of drying periods early on during the process, I’m hoping I can get a little more to the other half of this squad done in the down time.
In other news managed to get a single game of Dreadball in, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll be looking to pop up a review of the game contents tomorrow, with a further review of the game play once I get a few more games in (really hard to judge a game properly, until you have a few games under your belt :D).
