T-minus Five

One of my friends over at The Great Crusade asked me to do a commission of a Deathstrike Launcher.

I found the Perfect sized missile using a 1/48th scale WWII V-2 rocket.

I added a targeter with Dragonforge's power cables and Fuel lines using rod and a old flamer bit.

I now have to make the cradle and mount for the chimera.

Brother Leon

I've been quiet for a week or so.

I did a Terminator for Jawaball's Termie Competition so he will be shown once that contest is over.

Here is my Brother Leon I had half finished for a while.

I used Burnt Blue, Burnt Red and Soot Tamiya weathering powders to the barrel to give it a

realistic heat scorched effect.

Great Improvised Wet Palette

I was painting the other day after eating lunch from McDonald's.

I was using the cup to hold my water for rinsing the brushes out and the top as a palette.

I was using the side that faces toward the drink to hold the paint.

30 minutes into painting I had to run to the store real quick.

Not really thinking about it I put the top back onto the cup filled with water.

When I came back a hour later the paint was still usable, the water in the cup acting as a wet palette.

While it does not last as long as a true wet palette it does help during those situations where you

get dragged away from your painting for short periods of time.

Brother Claudio

This guy is one of my favorites Brother Claudio.

He has a great Wolverinesque pose
He also has the hardest heraldry to reproduce

I have it like the studio on the knee and shoulder

Like all the others he needs fine detailing which I am going to do all at once.

Sergeant Gideon

Here is the progress I am making on the other Sergeant.

I made him younger than Lorenzo with blond hair reminiscent of their Primarch.

My lighting effect is a silver base with an Ice Blue wash.

Then free handed bolts with white after which I gave it a Asurmen Blue wash.

Blood Angels Terminator Chaplain Sarduchi

Here is Chaplain Sarduchi in all his glory.

I need to base him for Space Hulk as he will be a stand-in for Lorenzo when the urge strikes me.

Can anyone guess his first name?
