discussion Militarum Tempestus Scion , 28mm

[Alan 45]

ive been practicing on some warhammer 40k figures for the dio I built and over the last few days I've finally finished one


I've used only citadel paints and washes and the correct colours , I think it's ok considering its size which at 28mm is smaller than 1/48


It would be interesting to see what you good people think of it , View attachment 119676

Looks very well painted to me!


I love it....those figures look very cool

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers folks I appreciate that


I don't think it's that bad for a first real attempt it will also give me some practice for some 1/48 figures I've got

 

[Guest]

Well painted in my view Alan.

Nicely painted, as a personal thing I would have drilled out the gun barrel I think it makes a big improvement for the effort involved.

good point but I wouldn't trust myself doing it


I'll just paint it black

These 28mm figures sure are fun! If my Jason figures turn out half as good as this, I'll be well pleased!

 

[Robert1968]

I'm amazed at the detail you have included on this fig and ar such small size ( really well done )


You don't want to go into figure painting for war hammer ( awesome painting skills

Drilling the barrel isn't difficult Alan - it can't be as even I can do it! It's certainly nowhere near as difficult as the detail painting you can do!

cheers Dave I'll give it a go when the opportunity arises which could be soon as I have some left over guns from these figures

Nice one Al, at that scale it would be a blob lol.

You could always practise on some sprue first. Just make sure you get the centre marked accurately and take it steady.

 

[Guest]

Must have missed this one. You really know how to paint them. Another cracker

Just tried it on a spare gun with a scalpel, I couldn't hold it and drill at the same time so I improvised View attachment 120299

that's not a bad effort first time out

id say that's a fair effort, it really adds to the effect of the gun.

 

[Gern]

Told you it wasn't as tricky as you thought!


When you say you couldn't hold the gun and drill at the same time, what sort of drill were you using? A simple pin vice is much simpler than trying any powered drills.
