A 10-model makeover!
Never thought I’d get them done - this took
a long time...
First a picture how they looked before the “makeover”:
After the makeover:
So, what did I do?
- Over painting the old black/silver shipping (blue, brown-red, dark steel)
- Repainting vision slits
- Drilling exhaust pipes, using MIG rust pigments and sot wash
- Using Tamya mud effect, painting (Dark Brown), dry brushing (Desert Yellow and Pale Sand) and washing with Burnt Umber (thinned in PVA water)
- Drilling (and cutting) bullet holes (marks), painting (Black, Brown-Red, and Dark Steel)
- Using MIG Enamel Streaking Grime for Panzer Grey
- Using MIG Brown Blue Enamel Wash for Panzer Grey
- Using van Gogh oil colour Lamp Black on all silver/steel eras (and in joints)
- Hand varnishing the models (except the mud/sand – sprayed), both with Satin Varnish
... and a lot of thinner....
And her is the result, all 8 Rhinos:
And this is how the Razorbacks turned
out:
All 6 of them:
Next – Predators!
Cheers,

Looks good👍 I like the mud/sand you have added.
ReplyDeleteThx Inger Helene☺
DeleteI hope that I have enough “paste” to finish the rest of my tanks…. Applying the paste was actually a bit tricky. It is very easy to apply “way to much” – I am struggling to find the balance (and yes, I have looked on desert photos from North Africa from WWII, so I do find them OK in theme with my “Calth Gaming Tables….) – so far ;)
Impressive progress, as always, and the same high quality as before.
ReplyDeleteThere's still a few vehicles to go, though, isn't it? Predators, Vindicators, Land Raiders and the Land Speeders by my reckoning.
Thank you Jørn; more tanks to go – oh yes! As stated, the Predators are next.
DeleteWhat I like most is the wholeness of them. You have gone from a kind of "if you don't do what papa says you will be grounded", to "we don't trust anyone, and certainly not you" finishing off the discussion with a big BANG. They are evil!
ReplyDeleteFeedback I have hoped to get Linus☺
DeleteAs stated when I started my “Ultramarines makeover series” my goal was to change the army into having a more sinister and grim-dark feel to it.
I am looking forward to reading the new book portraying “Roboute Guilliman”, as the comments given I WD suggest the Ultramarines are not as “pure” as one might think – witch suits med just fine☺
You have indeed made your marines a lot more sinister.
ReplyDeleteThe makeover series has been amazing to follow. The end result is stunning. It looks like battle hardend vetrans now.
