Five shades of grey.

Got a bit of painting done, starting small after a 'dry' period. The pictures are not giving justice, but anyone good at painting white could hekp me out here I guess. :)

Some highlights

This is mostly a post to show that I'm still alive, and to show you some of the models I saw a few weeks ago in Mariestad. I am having a bit of chaos in the serious part of life. Nothing bad really, but there is a lot going on and I havent had the time to sit down with my hobby for some weeks now. I could kill for a long evening, some whiskey and one of all the unopened kits I have..
Anyway, hopefully in a few weeks it will be regular updates and more projects to juggle again!

BFG

This weekend me and my dad was at a model meet. I will post more from that later, but I just got to show you this badass monster gun I found in the trunk of my car when I got home..

Improved camo

I gave the models a grey spray to blend the rather sharp camo. Today I also got the lights!

Airbrushing done.

I have finished the airbrush stage on the vehicles, and now they await the finer detailing and weathering. The Stormraven is also getting a paintjob on the inside, as well as some lights.
On the pictures you can see the masking (that took some time I tell you!) and the Stormravens in parts and assembled.
Hope this will inspire someone to give this a try!

Airbrushing urban camo

Today I primed the last Razor and the Stormraven black, and I also added a layer of grey as the base for the urban camo they will have. I finished the camo on the first Razor, and it looks pretty good! The other two have been masked and are ready to go. The camo is painted in three layers, with a mask of 'blue-tack' between layer one, two and three.

Upgrading Rhinos

The Stormraven is built, but not fully assembled as I intend to paint the interior and add the lights. And because I had another Rhino still in the box I built that too so I could prime and airbrush them at the same time.

I also made a little conversion to make them razors with lascannoms, just because I have always liked the good ol lascannon! The bases are from Mantics sci-fi range.
A big thanks goes to Håkan in Växjös gaming club, Väs, for providing the cannons!

As a side note, I am not that happy with the silver sceme on the vehicles. That is just dumb, I understand the "we are allmighty and fear none" fluff, but a missile is still a missile.. I think the infantry has a bit of a psychological effect on the enemy in shiny bright armour, and when they are within charge range, camo matters little. But the vehicles will be too much of an easy target, so I have decided to do some sort of grey city camo on them, and then I can play with the airbrush more as well! :)
