S'up peoples,
So yesterday I (hopefully!) piqued your interest on my Imperial Knight work. This is one of those projects that spent a long time half built in a box waiting for my enthusiasm for it to return, and it has returned with vengeance! Not necessarily because I'm excited to paint it per se, but more that I'm excited to nearly get the Mechanicum finished and off my damn to-do list!
Anyways, here is how I left you yesterday...
And here is where we found ourselves at close of day last night!
Well I had intended to stop at this point... But I then got a small second wind and applied warplock bronze to all of the plate trimming bar the pauldrons for the shoulders. So I have a little more of that to do then all of the metal apart from the main body needs a nuln oil wash. The skulls and scroll work will get washes as well and then highlighting can begin with aplomb! The yellow and black also need some various amounts of line highlighting doing as well.
The shield will receive a substantial amount of weathering as well, mainly to hide the poor conversion work!
The only bits still to be prepared are all the railings for the top of the chassis, but they will be done last as finishing touches so that they don't get in the way of the highlighting stage. Plus the base needs to be built...
It is getting there anyway!
Peace out,
Rob
Oh and the rivets...

Glad to see you managed to get a whole chunk of work done. Well done chief, it looks well.
ReplyDeleteI was just in one of those laser focused modes :) cheers boss!
DeleteNice! Really digging how that's coming along, man!
ReplyDeletePenultimate model as well! Just got Cawl to paint up in yellow and black after this! Thanks :)
DeleteI love the shield conversion!
ReplyDeleteIm glad, its what I'm least happy with regarding the model, hoping that sponge weathering brown and metal on it will make it look more brutal :)
DeleteThat's looking wicked Rob! Honestly, how good are yellow and black stripes? :D
ReplyDeleteYuge, the best, no one does stripes like yellow and black, believe me, I know stripes, I can close out the best stripes, I'm going to make stripes great again ;)
