MikeH Posted April 27, 2009 Report Posted April 27, 2009 My current work in progress is this Warhammer 40k Necron Destroyer. Being an automotive builder 99% of the time, things tend to crossover. This one needed a chrome skeleton/body parts beneath the armor etc. like the exhaust on the cars I build. Oh yeah, and the Terminator. LOL

GHonanie Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 Would love to see it done, keep up the good work.
MikeH Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Posted May 3, 2009 The big spring tool show is now done at work, so I actually had excitement and ambition to work on the Necron Destroyer. A chicken kabob grilled supper didn't hurt either. On to the build. I've gotten all of the base colors etc. that I wanted done. I still have a touch up on the head piece and have to decide what position I'm going to have the gun arm in. I'm pleased overall, and thanks to Tamiya bright green, I was able to manage some semblance of a lighted chest cavity. The weathering, heat staining, and washes are yet to come. I'm pleased with it thus far and wanted to give it some life with an out-reaching head-turned pose. I've got an idea for a diorama base, but that'll come once I get this completed. Thanks for following along! The gun with replaced lines for a better look and detail. This was with the flash on and shows the actual colors more accurately.
MikeH Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Posted May 5, 2009 I fired up the airbrush tonight and began with some heat-staining and aging of the metal, along with some soot around I guess what would be exhaust vents of some sort. The joy of these things is the wide-open pallet of creativity you're given.
pyrman Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 Mike, that is sooo cool! Gotta luv those clear green parts.
MikeH Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Posted May 9, 2009 I got it all done. I may still go back and add some more minute details. Now I debate if I want to create a diorama base for it too or not. The figure is about 3" long and 1 1/2" tall. The main goal for this one was to try get a natural heated metal look (the pictures don't show the slight blue tint) I used Tamiya bright green and washes to try simulate a back-lit chest cavity also.
