I tried to keep the weathering of the CAR down to a minimum, and I think I succeeded in part. My normal weathering is pretty heavy handed, so I wanted to show that the CAR was in heavy use, but not totally trashed due to crashing into things all the time. I missed quite a few angles when I was trying to weather the thing due to the sheer size of the model. I've been finding it increasingly difficult to work with these large models and my current light source, so a revamp of my work area is in order.
I took a shot of the Ultramarines force as it is coming together right now. I managed to snag an original las/plas razorback turret, which adds one more original tank type to the legion forces. All these ultras need now is a Tallarn IG force supporting them. I think that will provide an interesting contrast in colors and in cultures.
Unfortunately for my painting, I've gotten the scratch building bug. I don't know what it is, but modeling ADD has been afflicting me a lot recently. For instance, I painted up that gigantic necron force only to leave it almost finished sitting on top of an ikea display cabinet. Maybe I need to play a game or something.
Looks just right ... used but still showing pride ! Great work
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely work on that! Looks great! But it's a Caestus Assault Ram - Cassius is an Ultras special character I think?
ReplyDeleteYou are right. Perhaps I'll make it right by having Chaplain Cassius travel in a Caestus!
ReplyDeleteAwesome weathering and paintjob. Its huge, I've not yet made mine! My fellow blogger Pornstarjedi is at the starting stages of his Ultramarine one too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job!
ReplyDeleteI may have to purchase one very soon for my Carcharodons.
Wich colours have you used for the blue?
