It is
almost 2 years ago that I finished painting a drop pod. Since then, I have
wanted to enable my Ultramarines to make an all
out drop pod assault.
It is
always difficult to match a previous paint scheme. And the drop pods are quite
large models, not in height, but with all the panels etc., it does take time to
complete them. It was very satisfactory to finish my new project. This is how
one of them turned out.
Originally,
on my first two GW drop pods, I did not mount the constraints. Why – to make
them match my first two drop pods – the original ones from Forge World. This
time around, I decided to mount them on all the new ones, and then - the old ones.
Actually, mounting them after having finished the pods, gave me the possibility
to continue with adding details to the interior.
So, this is
how the new batch of 6 new pods looks like.
Joining
them with my previous pods; it’s a massive force to be reckoned with (I hope...).
Changing my
numbering sequence, my two old Forge World pods are now dedicated transport for my First Company Veterans.
While I was
at it, I also made 6 objective markers to accompany my Ultramarines. I applaud
all who make markers – in my humble opinion; self made object markers in any shape
or form, looks so much better than dice ore what not.
What next?
Well, I need to bring my Devastators up to speed, and I have pledged to finish
my First Company of my Ultramarines.
Being my
last post this year; my best to you and your family, and I wish you all a happy
new year.
