WIP: AM Sentinel part2

The Sentinel is now primed and assemled. Next up is the paint job. Here's some pictures for you guys.

WIP: AM Sentinel

It's tournament time again and I'm busy taking part in a modeling competition, painting my tournament list and assembling new units for my list.

Last night I started on the AM Sentinel. This is a very cool looking model and I especially like the armoured version of it.

I made the base ready and primed it late last night. I also assembled the Sentinel to a point where I need to figure out the position of the legs on the base.

The ruin on the base is made of cork. The bits on the base are from Citadel's resin basing kit, http://www.games-workshop.com/en-FI/Citadel-Warhammer-40-000-Basing-Kit
I sawed straight edges on the resin pieces and sanded the bottom side of them, then I super-glued them to the base next to the wall and in the corner of the ruin.

The Sentinel has been magnetized. The gun is swappable and the fusalage attaches to the legs by a pair of magnets, to ease transportation and to change poses.

WIP: YakTribe Competition V part 1

Ok, boys and girls it's YakTribe Competition time again. This time we have to do a Lawmaker or Rule-Breaker model.

I'm going to do a terrain piece this time. I have some kind of a gallow in mind this time, more for Mordheim, but they could hang people down at Necromunda too.

 Started make some wood poles and planks for the gallow. I used sprues and old cards.

 Chopped them down.

 Cleaned them up.

Finally I made some wood like grooves on the surface to make it easier to paint it woodlike later.
I realized that I need much more, so I have some more work ahead before I can get started building this.

Painting timelapse video

I made a painting video for a big Finnish newspaper to accompany an article they made about us playing Warhammer and Necromunda. The point of the video is just to show the readers what kind of a process it is to assemble and paint a single miniature.

If the newspapers videoplatform doesn't work for you, here's my youtube copy of it:

The texts are in Finnish, because it's a Finnish newspaper and the readers are also Finnish. The things that I could done better: better quality camera and better lighting setup. Next time...

Sorry for keeping the blog quiet for a while, there was christmas, this article and video and family stuff.
