Well that's a process I'd quite like not to repeat for a while!! 2 coats of the base colour, wash, then highlight on ALL THAT TRIM! It will be worth it though.
Blogger and its sides-ways ways!
Once the panels were dry i went straight onto gluing them onto the legs. I replicated the white striping that is on the Forge World Warlord, which initially i wasn't sure about. I'm pleased i ran with it as i think it would've been to much blue otherwise.
This is what i was left with after the full assembly. It looks much more impressive now!
Once I'd done all that i realised i forgot to add the small armour plates that go between the toes! I managed to get them attached without any problems though. They finished off the feet quite nicely.
I will be going back to the pistons and adding a bit more grease and grim. I have a recipe that i want to try with some oil paints at some point. now I'm done with the legs though, its straight onto the torso!

Wow. What a difference adding the plates makes. I've had a Warhound sitting in the shelf of shame for far to long as a result of worrying how I would tackle all the trim. This shows the only way to do it is to get stuck in and just do it!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely the way mate, chuck on a movie in the background and just get your head down. I managed this lot of trim in 4 days (base coat, second coat, wash, highlight) The world needs to see that Warhound!
DeleteSoooooo much work, but so worth it. Looking great!!!
ReplyDeleteYour not wrong. The legs look so much better with the armour on though! I don't think the torso plates will have quite so much trim to do.....I hope!
DeleteI think you're right there. It seems there are more plates overlapping on the legs.
DeleteBeautiful work, man! Amazing how much the armor plates change the 'tone' of the legs. Suddenly there's a huge sense of menace to it!
ReplyDeleteNo more chicken legs. Loving the dappled blue effect.
