Sorry for not posting in an age, life got in the way I'm afraid! A show at the weekend saw me picking up much of the reinforcements I needed for various systems - yet more
models I wont end up painting in years! I've also made some good progress on the
Tyranids, and I must
apologise to Chris for being slow on that front; the week off I was supposed to get them done in I ended up working more than I do in a normal week!
First Up is the Elder Dragon and the Flagship for my
Dragon Lords for Uncharted Seas. They are both fantastic, beautiful models, yet will require a lot of filling. Cant wait to getting round to painting these to be honest!
Next up are quite a few additions to my Secrets of the Thirds Reich (
Westwind Productions) British Para drop army. First is the command transport.
Next are some armoured cars for transporting the paras (Designed of
light reconnaissance in that they can be dropped from a plane in either glider or by parachute into the battlefield). Awesome models by an unknown supplier.
Next is a light tank, again I was wanting to give the image of a glider born or parachuted tank that was small and quick.
Next is the
SAS commando squad which will ride in one of the armoured cars (With Shotguns and Paddy Mayne with a packed
LMG)
I assembled this a while ago but
didn't get round to taking images. They are a bit poor as it
didn't fit in my
light box. HMS Hood:
Next additions to my German
FoW Fallschirmjaeger army. Yep,
that's right, King Tigers :) an answer really to Mike's Crocodiles at the club :)
And finally... working more on the
Tyranids. They are at various stages, the top images with the light blue extreme
highlighting are the furthest on, the others still require the highlighting to be done to them:
For the
tyranids I have the following to do :
Light Blue extreme highlight on the carapace
blue washes to bring the highlight right down and dampen it
Pink
base coat on the underside of all the wings
Highlights on the pink and the purple
Washing down
Then they will be finished; it
shouldn't take me much longer than another couple of weeks.
Cheers all.
Out.
