Continuing the Ravenwing show and tell for day 2 of a few, here we have the land speeder contingent of the force. These ba***rds are fiddly as f**k to build. Did not enjoy them one bit, that said, they are pretty darn easy to paint compared to the much more, overall, detailed bikers. If I have the money spare at some point I may make a Land Speeder only army using the new landspeeder Ravenwing HQ.
I know it won't be to everyone's cup of tea, but I really enjoy the bright orange glow of the engines and plasma. I think it adds some pop to the overall grim look of these models. As requested by the client everything should look like it has had the sh*t beaten out of it... How well I succeeded on that, compared to just looking, well amateurishly painted... eh I'll let you decide.
I have conflicting feelings on how well I have painted these models to be honest. It is part of the reason the Ravenwing haven't been up on the blog at all. Sometimes I look at them and feel I have done a good job, and sometimes I get terrible anxiety that the owner will demand their money back for me ruining their miniatures. No fun! I do hope he likes them.
Peace out,
Rob
Yeah Rob, grimdark gritty and nice pop of colour with the red hot exhausts. I think you are your harshest critic.
ReplyDeleteThanks again James, I think close up picture always give me pangs of regret at points I want to improve. Really looking forward to seeing them face of against you mind.
DeleteI think these look awesome. The owner ought to be very pleased!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I hope he is!
DeleteThe bright orange glow works very well and everything looks well together. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteI do so dislike the mini turret on the front of that speeder though.
Totally agree Rory, really not a fan of the turret, just looks little silly and like he'd take a headshot in no time flat!
DeleteI was actually thinking as I was scrolling down that I really liked how weathered and beat up they looked. Like they've been out on patrol for a while now.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that comes across, I wanted the whole army to look like it had been on a long campaign with no end in sight :)
DeleteI think you have grim-darked the hell out of them. That would get my tick of approval :-)
ReplyDeleteYay a teachers tick! Can I have a gold star too :)
