A Quick Update

Hey gang,

I know it has been a few days. I have been hard at work panel painting the red and green on my valkyries and dettas. The metallics took a while especially around the canopy. If you are ever going to build an Aircav army do yourself a favour and leave the metallic parts off your kit to paint separately. You will save yourself hours of painting fun. Anyway...

Here is the group shot...


Here are a few shots of the camo scheme as it currently exists. The reds and greens are properly paneled. I have done about half of the bone border between the two. The bone I have done really needs a good touching up as does a few spots of green around the metallics.



Overall I am pleased with how they look (pre-highlight)... I am very tired of painting these models though.

Urrrrgh...

  1. Looks good, I like the camo scheme. The only complaint I can see is that the metal engines look too bright. Maybe it is just the photos but it looks like it needs a wash and/or some weathering.

  2. Yup you are right. I have painted the metal but I have not washed or high lighted it. Good eyes matey...

  3. Looks like you're painting these up in assembly line fashion. I can see why you're tired of painting them though. They're coming along very well.
    I had a little trouble focusing in on the overhead picture (pic #2). Can't imagine why I'm so distracted today...
