Will Vale Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hi folks, It's 2018 here in New Zealand, so this is coming in at the metaphorical eleventh hour, but here are my finished things from 2017. Not a terrible year but a bit short on variety in places (I didn't manage any aircraft or armour for the first time in ages!) I started with this Cosmo Zero, the Cosmo Falcon is still in a mix of primer and basecoats which is a little embarrassing... Bandai 1/72 kit from Space Battleship Yamato 2199. Also Bandai is this tiny box-scale (1/8000?) kit of the Elysion carrier from the most recent Macross series: I started building and painting some of the nifty scenery from Games Workshop's Shadow War set: As well as one of the (fairly old) Orks as a test model. I started the rest of the squad but the access behind weapons etc. was really hard and I got a bit fed up with them, so they're not done yet... I also finished this Juggernaught of Khorne, although I haven't done the rider yet so it's a bit dodgy sneaking it in here... The base is temp too. Maybe my favourite model of the year is Bemular - he's sculpted from Super Sculpey and hot glue as a slightly overdone base for Bandai's Science Patrol VTOL. That was almost it for "proper" models as I got really into painting the new Death Guard models from Games Workshop. So far I've done a couple of plague marines and almost a squad of Poxwalker zombies. I'm too slow to paint armies really... They make a fun photography project though: Another Bandai diversion was the TIE Striker from Rogue One, I've made some of the other bits too but they aren't all done yet. although the hover-or-not tanks are pretty cool: The last things I finished in 2017 were the Stormcast Eternals from Shadespire - they took just a week to paint and are quite satisfyingly chunky models. On the almost-finished pile is this Zoid kit from Kotobukiya, which needs a pilot painting and a few scenic bits on top of the rock, but is otherwise done. I'm currently trying to finish off a super-secret project, more news soon, and I've picked up the Sandworm to do a bit more on over the holidays. Have a great 2018! Cheers and thanks for looking, Will 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengalensis Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Awesome work, as always from you. Impossible for me to pick a single favourite, they all stand out as very impressive and very inspiring. The paint work is just mind blowing. Fantastic, very well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thank you all for the kind comments, my ears are burning I'm glad Boris the Disrespectful Goat is popular as he was a lot of fun to do. It's surprising what you can get from a horrible vinyl figure! 16 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: May i ask the maker of the Imperial hover tanks ? Sure, they're from Bandai and available as part of the 1/144 U-Wing set, which includes the tanks, TIE Striker as seen above, and the U-Wing which is in bits at the moment. All very nice models. The tanks will eventually be going into a Jedha diorama, I hope. Cheers, Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
