Hello everyone.
I am will keep you posted on the latest WIPs I am working on. I am coming back to the painting side of things after a time-off.
Here are two things I am currently working on. A Space Wolves standard bearer and an Ork Dakkajet.
The standard bearer is an old mini of mine (the metal version) which I found lying in the dark box of the closet and, after being stripped of colour I started working on it again. It is a quick paint job, and I am not going to bother a lot with it as it is going on sale asap it is finished.
Colours used on the wolf are:

  • VJ Grey Primer
  • VJ Sombre grey
  • GW Illyanden Darksun
  • VJ Air Mahogany
  • VJ Air Fire Red
  • VJ Air Scarlet Red
  • GW Bestial Brown
  • VJ Tan Yellow
  • VJ Stonewall Grey (mixed with Sombre Grey and Glaze Medium, for the armour highlights).
  • VJ Gun Metal Metallizer
  • VJ German Grey

As for the Dakkajet, it is pretty straightforward up to this point. All parts except the clear ones are glued in place. Now it is time to start priming the model, and fill any gaps on the two halves if possible. I am going to use the Mr Surfacer 1200 from Gunze for this, and I will start painting the pilot and cockpit as these can be painted seperately.
As for the canopies, the general idea is to mount them on the model and use the Micromask liquid to mask the clear panels, before I hit the model with the airbrush.

Thank you for looking.

Hello everyone. Here is an update on my most recent WIP. The ork pilot is complete I think. I just need to glue arms on place and start working on the plane. I am thinking to go with the red colour scheme for the plane. Any suggestions?

I have applied the micromask liquid on the clear canopy of the plane. When it is dry I will clear the metal areas to be painted with the hobby knife and spray the whole model with grey primer.

Hello people! Just a small update. The dakkajet was primed with VJ Grey Primer and basecoated with VJ Model Air color Fire Red. I have removed the micromask film from the canopy and the result is quite good actually :)

When time permits, I will paint some panels with varying tones of red to break the monotony of the colour.
