Brilliant work lads, lots of lovely stuff being created, got to say that the Bantha is a beautiful thing 8)

 

[Palifan]

Really love your work on this Bantha, it does look very vintage and your sculpting really ties into that era. Out of interest what did you use to do the additional sculpting, sculpy maybe? Also was the saddle with the original Bantha and if so did you change that at all?

Some great work on this thread and great to see so congrats to you all.

I used milliput which might not have been the best thing to use as it dries very brittle. It is strong but weighs a ton. With the saddle I sculpted some legs to make it similar to the dewback and taun taun saddle (though I think I should've made them larger). I also added a ridge which I wanted the Tusken Raider to be able to grab on to, it kind of works. The gaffi stick sits nicely in there.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

@Robstyley - you speeder looks really good. With the plain white it reminds me of a Mego type ship. Are you going to paint it or leave it white? At the moment it looks well vintage. Add some 70's style stickers and it's job done!

Thanks for the info and I've always been a fan of using milliput as it's so strong although can be a little tricky to use at times. I made the 3 dinosaur skeletons in the museum for The Wrong Trousers using milliput which at the times was the only real option other than casting them and they held up really well for the shoot.

Some great work and the saddle works well as well.

I'm really enjoying seeing the builds on here, there's some very talented people on the forum!

I'm making slow progress with the DeAgostini Millennium Falcon kit, only really tackled the interior so far, and that's still a work in progress. It's a great kit, I'm enjoying the build but also making a lot of special modifications myself...

Mad level of detail my friend. Bit of focus stacking macro photography and you wouldn't know it was a model :shock:

Some fantastic work on this thread, really impressive

Love the falcon and tie fighter work, the Bantha looks brilliant, super work Gents keep em coming, this is a great thread

Helpfully not Star Wars again :lol:

Just finished putting these together 8)

 

[grinchy]

Those look great lejackal, cool details at a small scale
Heres one I finished recently for a secret santa on another board, started out as a vintage snowspeeder kit, I added to the details and added blaster marks etc

 

[Snaketibe]

More great work! Thanks for sharing

Current work in progress

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Hmmmm not sure why the image is on its side -.-

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Had a play.. 8)

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Thought I had added some context, the figure itself is Typhus for those not up on things warhammer 40k. Trying out some techniques and changing up my usual paint pallet range for some warmer colours and having some fun with rust and corrosion.

Ill post a pic once im happy with the end product, some good stuff posted up on here so far keep it up. 8)

 

[theforceuk]

AT-AT and Snowspeeder look very good, well done! :shock:

 

[grinchy]

Cheers guys, that Warhammer figure looks ace sundancer

 

[Darth Bobby]

Wow amazing stuff!

 

[lejackal]

And the Golden Demon award for the most talentless **** 2020 (and every other year) goes to.....

Me :lol:

My current work in progress has only reinforced what I knew as a teenager.....painting is not my forte. Still, it's an enjoyable way to kill half an hour every now and again.

Awesome looking plague dude by the way [mention]Sundancer Squadron[/mention]

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Thank you, i took a break from painting warhammer for about 5-6 years but slowly getting back into the swing of things, I find it helps me relax a bit.

[mention]lejackal[/mention] Top man, doing good.

Love that old Stegadon, I had a bunch of them when I was younger. The great thing about the older metal miniatures is that no matter what happens with the paint, as your experience and methods improve you can go back strip it with easy then try again.So don't ever fear messing anything up, I still do all the time :lol: I would strongly recommend some of GWs little guides they do from time to time, worth a look.

Ill stick up one of my current works in progress in a bit 8)

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Whilst ill be working through these bad times, ill make some extra effort to get some painting done. Hopefully it will help me unwind and keep my mind off things. These are for my own Death Guard army that ill be painting to my idea of table top standard, The other dude is just for fun. 8)


Hope you like them

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Hope these two upload correctly, all are still works in progress.

Lockdown 1:48 scale F-14 Tomcat. Took about 3 months. Custom base using a photo I took on when flying into Las Vegas, and the firing missile was a little addition I came up with. Must do something Star Wars next. The canopy isn't sealed yet as I got bored before I'd finished the pilot's belts lol. Hence why it looks loose. I'll get around to it one day.

Amazing looking work and well worth all the time you put into it. The custom base works really well (especially with the missile addition), and it's also a personal reminder for you with taking the picture.

Really great to see so thanks for posting,

I hadn't noticed this before but that's some great paintwork you've done there and I can never understand how you can get the lines so cleanly done at this scale, I could never get even close to this.

Some incredible hands at work here! There's nothing like getting into the zone with painting, hot coffee and some background music. I must buy a new model kit soon! I've been looking at a few recently.

 

[Cazza]

[mention]stormcab[/mention] love that diorama - looks amazing! Really dynamic.

[mention]Sundancer Squadron[/mention] they are really stunning!!! Have shown my son, who has started to get into Warhammer. Something for him to aspire to! This is one of his recent efforts- he hasn't been painting long, but has done a load of research, with good results.

 

[stormcab]

Thanks @cazza @palifan

Always wanted to do a Hoth diorama. Having all 5 At-Ats attacking the base while speeders fly round them. Just don't have the space for that sort of thing though.

 

[lejackal]

Spotted this on Facebook (not my work)
I think it's genius

 

[sith-smith]

Now that is pretty cool

For a company that fiercely defends its IP now, back in 1992 it looks like Games Workshop were somewhat less invested in other people's
