Learning by getting blamed is one way to learn (in future I read the rules) I think these pictures will go in line better with the forumrules. I primed the lift and for compense my fault I put a little wall-e in the pics! hope you can forgive me once again... -------------------- CMON: http://www.coolminiornot.com/artist/senfone ALBUM: http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh48/SebMazur/

Or is it a scratch made one? It looks brilliant. -------------------- I am not playing Warhammer 40k, but collecting Space Marines.

I have to take a close look on the Forgeworld area on the german Games Day on sunday for this little bugger because I need some of them for my plan of a techmarine workshop.

White or grey. White stands out well against the rest of the model, but grey fits the colour scheme better, seeing as the base of the pillar is grey too.
I love the elevator btw, great idea.

I will paint it grey, like the base even a little lighter. and now a pic what I've done so far (not very much - had a match today, was a draw against orks with my bloodies.) I painted all four pillar of course. -------------------- CMON: http://www.coolminiornot.com/artist/senfone ALBUM: http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh48/SebMazur/

Here are some statuspics what I've done so far: today is a workfree day too, maybe I'm going to paint more. Any C&Cs? -------------------- CMON: http://www.coolminiornot.com/artist/senfone ALBUM: http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh48/SebMazur/

It would look better if you added some color, as you did with the other sides. Maybe it's not done yet? The other parts (with green, etc.) look very good. I like the two metallics together also. - H8

Group: Members Posts: 27 Member No.: 2,488 Joined: 30-December 07	Yes I know what you mean, the front plate looks to metalic - i think so too. I will add some detail paintjobs. On the following pics you can see some detailwork I started with. The "entrace"wall downstairs will be covered by the elevator itself. On the roof I will paint the tubes in a differend colour and the barrel too. The "exit"backwall wont be seen, because it lays to way back in the shadow. Thank you for your criticism! the pics with some detailwork, like painted wires, tubes and knobs ... enjoy the not blurred pictures! -------------------- CMON: http://www.coolminiornot.com/artist/senfone ALBUM: http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh48/SebMazur/

Group: Members Posts: 27 Member No.: 2,488 Joined: 30-December 07	after a break of a few days I started to paint the mainpart of the landingpad, the landingpad itself. have a look what I've done so far: the skulls get a bonecolour, of course the little aquilla will get a golden paint the lamps metall and the big black parts get a pattern of black and yellow stripes. I thougt to paint the big aquillas in a white shape, what do you think, maybe a golden or brass look will fit better? -------------------- CMON: http://www.coolminiornot.com/artist/senfone ALBUM: http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh48/SebMazur/
