MikeH Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) In the words of Monty Python "and now for something completely different"... :D When I don't build autos, I love the sci-fi stuff. A friend of mine is in to Warhammer 40k table top gaming. We ordered some stuff from Forge World Europe and got it today. I'm building the Ork Fighta Bomba. Essentially the Orks (my friend plays them) are the kings of the junkyard. Scrap it, strip it, build something out of the junk and go to war. I'm planning to roll with this color scheme below and do the same dasterdly thing I did the snow plow blade for wear and tear. Plus with all the panel lines and rivets on this beast, there will be plenty of places to drag rust about. ;) It's a very simple kit, but the painting is where it's at on these things. Stay tuned...

Mark Aldrich Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love 40K! Bring it on!!! The kits and figures, not the game
philp Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 Got my attention. I love the vehicles from the games but not the prices. Do have an Eldar Grav tank to do sometime.

MikeH Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Posted March 7, 2010 Primed and base coated rust, the salt's been applied. Next is the orange base color and then a fogging of boxcar orange on the top for some heavy weathering.
MikeH Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 Here it is after a few coats of international orange and a fogging of box car orange. Tomorrow will reveal the rusty parts. Then on to the detail painting and other mischieviousness..
MikeH Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Posted March 9, 2010 Masking tape and silly putty yielded the engine being painted. I also got the interior painted and began with the gun belts and wings. Being a salvage bunch, the "wood" repaired panels on the wings seemed appropriate. Tomorrow I'm going to start with my fine airbrush and hitting it with some blast marks. I'll also be adding some yellow to the pearly whites up front.
MikeH Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Posted March 10, 2010 2 1/2 hours tonight of masking, airbrushing, and brush painting has yielded this. The main portion of the base paint is done, now for the details and all the other stuff...
MikeH Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Posted March 14, 2010 Here's the finished product. The kit's from Forge World UK and not worth the money I paid for it at all. However, the subject matter is what I wanted and got my money's worth out of it on the creative side of things. First out fearless pilot, and real ladies man...
