Well I have started my vindicator and I am happy wih the glueing. Any suggestions for painting would be good, It will be going into a BA army so as per my other units it will be Mechrite Red (I prefer the dark red as apposed to the fluffy light red).

Looking really nice, I like the tank commander especially. For painting just use a big flat brush and use even strokes.

 

[Darthlace]

Yeah I have got a tank brush I used on my other tanks, will poest updates as I go through

 

[Darthlace]

I have also left the commanders bolter and the hunter killer so they can be moved up or down, which is cool

 

[RedHookRusty]

very cool stuff! looking forward to seeing how it turns out, im sure it will look great in red the only thing i would say would be to put details around exhaust like black streaks from years of service and things like that.

rubbish, is it salvageable?

 

[cccp]

it looks like its glued together good. I assume youre painting it more red than just mecharite?

 

[Darthlace]

why would I paint it more red than mechrite, I may have a layer of blood red under the edges so when I file out parts you will get that nromal layering painted look on the damage.

ANy suggestions to what you mean

no i think it got chucked out with my old bits box ;-(

i think a old rhino was in there too ;-(

well mecharite is a basecoat, so that would be the first layer of paint over black. then, i would give the model a coat of scab or red gore to give it a 'red colour.'

mecharite does not cover black that well, and leaves a horrible powdery finish.

i thin kthis is supposed ot be in the attack bike one but hey thanks

i used that foundation on my space wolves realised it should of been shadow grey my prfered color even though people like it lighter or highlight it so shadow grey cant be seen then people do lunar wolves

 

[Darthlace]

well i have a few marines done mechrite so i'll try my 2 reds out and see what it looks like - i didnt want happy go lucky colours i wanted the angels dark to be honest in colour and in attitude

 

[cccp]

dont use blood red, only go as high as a mix of blood red and red gore. it will look so much better.

 

[The Wraithlord]

Red ink will help bring the colour to a darker level as well if needed.

 

[Darthlace]

I suppose but I really like the mechrite red, whats wrong with liking one colour

 

[spitfire6x]

nothing the whole point is you get a finished product you and you alone are happy with, afterall its your army!!!!

 

[Darthlace]

good call, I welcome constructive critism just dont like someone telling me that I cant paint my models a particular colour
