fatfingers Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 How do chaps, Every so often I get the urge to do something totally out of the ordinary for me and Games Workshop always deliver! I really enjoyed building and painting this kit. It was brush painted with Games Workshop paints and washes over an airbrushed basecoat of Tamiya XF81 RAF Dark Green 2. To get an idea as to how to paint the kit i watched a few vids on youtube and I also used the box art for guidance. As I was so pleased with the finish I really didn't want to plonk it on the round base that came with the kit. I've had the base it's on for a good few years now and decided to use this to display it. The base is a piece of gnarly wood that was undercoated black and then dry brushed to make it look like a rock face. I added some GW Agrellan Earth which shrinks back as it dries to replicate a cracked earth surface. The 'rocks' are stones from my garden and the tufts are also Games Workshop. I was a bit apprehensive in doing the blue smoke effect but I'm really chuffed with the way it turned out. I enjoyed doing this so much that I've bought a second one to make up as the 'flesh mower' version and there are three versions that can be built from the one kit. Lots of pics below.... I've identified a few areas to improve on when I build the flesh mower version but other than that I really am pleased with the end result. Comments, criticisms and suggestions welcome as always.

voozet Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Good work! Few years ago I was keen on WH 40k. Especially on nurgle and orks because they are the coolest to convert and scratch build. Edited October 24, 2021 by voozet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 That's horrible and revolting. Just as it should be. Very well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
