dark angels pred tank WIP

[ianclark360]

After looking at KMDs pred i did some weathering on mine here is the sponson w/ effects C and C please.

 

[Kmd]

Paint chipping looks nice.

 

[Prophecy07]

Ooh, love the wear and tear on the armor.

 

[ianclark360]

well since the only reply i got lately was on the paint chip "wear and tear" as Prophecy07 said I did more. I added a DA chapter badge. I put a terminator shield on the turret ill post pics when its done. Is there too much chip not enuff is the gun metal over shadowing the brown "rust" should i darken or lighten the effect whats up whats every body think so far?

I'd like to see more that three pics of the exact same angle. If you have that kind of chipping all the way around it is enough in my eyes, might want to add a bit to more exposed areas though, corners, the bolter casing, the front... it looks good.

 

[ianclark360]

i only had the one side done thats why the same three shots w/ diiferent light. I did both sides the same way now and will post soon. What do you mean by exposed areas? thanks for the feedback.

 

[Chrome]

Exposed areas are the areas which are most likely to receive the wear and tear, like corners that usually are where you bump thing and the front that is the side that most often is the one facing the stuff damaging the tank

 

[ianclark360]

thanks chrome ill beat up the front end more....:hammer:

 

[ianclark360]

alright some new pics.......finaly!

 

[cheelfy]

Nice Pred but I think you could highlight more the green. Do you have bigger pics of the Marine?

 

[ianclark360]

ok here are some better shots the marine is not done and niether is the tank . I agree more highlights do you have a good techniqe ?

 

[ianclark360]

yeah so alot of people are looking but no one leaves a comment whats up......

 

[Tagamoga]

Dear Ianclark,

my problem is, that I hate Tank and everything, that looks like a big metal crate. So it is hard for me to comment yout model. And because of my dislike I dont want to frustrate you...

I can only tell you to set more accent on the edge, so that it would add more depth.... and a little more shoaddows...

Sorry... but these arent my models.

Greetings, Taggi

 

[ianclark360]

uhhh thanks

I would sectionalise the model into smaller parts and work on them one at a time, super-detailing if you like.
For example the cupola alone can have the glue marks removed, shading and highlighting, the lenses of the vision ports painted, Plus handles and signs, maybe a searchlight?, Etc etc, for me that would be a few hours work. then move on to the next area, tracks for example, corrosion, weathering, mud can all be added. you get the idea?
dont get me wrong its a good job...make it great!

the reds seem a little transparent they show whats underneath if you get my drift here's a tip use a brighter colour as a base coat for the red sunburst yellow or white then apply the red it should make it pop. nice green its very remeniscent of the dark angels ark work on the "let the galaxy burn" novel

then move on to the next area, tracks for example, corrosion, weathering, mud can all be added. you get the idea?

i agree a litle muck on the tracks looks good i use a mixture of fine milliput dust and pva glue fine sawdust will do though.

for example
