Last Chance on Dust Tactics Set

I am getting rid of my Dust Tactics set on E-bay today is the last day.

It is one hell of a deal with the full game 4 booster boxes,plus two highly detailed Tamiya tanks.

An allied Pershing and a German Early Tiger.

Abaddon Siege of Terra Sketch

I just picked up a new Cintiq and it is awesome.
I could never draw as good with the Intuos4 as I good as I could on paper.
I had a hard time looking at the monitor while drawing on a pad,the Cintiq decimates this problem.
My first WIP is of Abaddon during the Siege of Terra smashing through the palace walls.
The pad is also the screen so I lose none of my hand eye coordination and it makes all the difference.

Kalus Ekaddon Capt of the Catulan Reavers

I am going back to my roots.

I am in the slow process of starting a Sons of Horus army.

I am starting with a small assault squad that will also have options to use them as raptors too if I want to play em as Chaos.

I am using the Forgeworld Mk3 kit to model them as kickass brutal assault troops that would make a World Eater think twice.

The finished walkers

I have been quiet lately.

There has been alot of stuff on my plate and I had to put most of my modeling on hold for a month or so.

I think its good for a mini painter to take a break for a month or so every now an then.

I like to save it for May-July.

But I did have time to finish painting most of my Dust Tactics board game.

I am a painter not much of a gamer so I will be probably selling my game as a supreme deluxe version complete with realistic barricades and a M-26 Pershing and Early model Tiger.

Here are a few shots of the American walkers.

Making realistic tank hulls

This is a technique I picked up from Fine Scale Modeler Magazine.

US armor during WWII has a rough cast texture to anything that was not flat plates such as the body and turret.

Using the thin Testors Plastic Cement(the one with little nail polish brush inside)coat the area you want to have texture.

Using the little brush on the cap start stippling where you put the layer of glue.

After a couple of passes you get a really authentic looking turrets and chassis.

This will look really good on a Leman Russ and of course any of the DUST Bots.

A Couple of Recon Rangers

I am in the process of finishing my Dust Tactics models using the real Dust water slide decals.

I changed from winter white to a more authentic brown-violet overcoat.

I am going to give everybody the star in circle with the Sarges getting their stripes.

The US Ranger Tab is hand painted however
