Ground crew/engineers heads

With some of the left over cadian heads that I have, I've done some work with milliput standard grey, for practice and, why not, future uses.


Basically there are some with goggles (more vets maybe) and some with a extrange left eye visor. This visors are oversized, lesson learned for the next time. Anyway I can remove the putty, but not now.

Hope to finish the Hellhound tomorrow (the oils are now drying).

Flak Quad Gun

Some time ago I found this model in my old local hobby shop (actually closed), and bought it. Is pretty modeled and is made from high quality resin.

It will be, obviously, a Hydra for my army. When I saw the Hydra rules in the new codex, I fall in love permanently o_O impressive skills!!!!



Probably, this model will be used as a emplacement, just because some time ago I was planning to build a hydra from scratch because the GW/FW model doesn't fit very well in my army concept, and I can't understand the use the crew will do of the cargo area if it can't carry anything >:(

Hellhound Oil Weathering

Among other things, I've been working on this models, and the first step of the oils weathering is almost done. It's the first time I use this technic, so the result could have been better.

I actually only have a few oils (Toasted Siena, Dark Earth, Vermilion, Marine Blue and a green tone) and this first step lacks color variety. I hope to resolve this lack in the second weathering session.

Basically, I put the oils in the model and mix them on it. I'm not sure that I'd done this ok, still learning!!! :P


Next time I'll weather the tracks and more specific stuff in the tank (access hatchs, crew steps on the hull, etc...)

Hope you like it!
