What Have You Painted Today??

Working on 6 Minbari Torantha, 2 Minbari Lenath, 1 Hyperion, and 1 Olympus. Hope to have them done this weekend. Have a game Tuesday evening. Happy New Year.
 
Today I have painted...

Vorlons.jpg


Trying to get the mottled hull effect, ended up using a sponge and dabbing alternate tones.
 
those look pretty cool.

Simple and effective, just how ships should be painted, too much detail ruins them.

I don't think there's much detail to do on Vorlons, really - the CGI models were always a bit mottled and undetailed. End effect was Terracotta and Blood red dappled onto Gore Red, and Shadow Grey + Enchanted blue onto Regal Blue.

Since you can't really name Vorlon ships, I'm gonna try and differentiate mine by colour...
 
11 white stars, 10 white star fighters, 1 White star Gunship, 9 flights of Nials, 1 Victory 3 T'Bolts and 3 'furies done; Next is the Whitestar Carrier, 10 more White star fighters and 8 flights of Nials
 
Just had to rebuild 3 new warwalkers and a wraithlord that a friend did a real hatchet job on - good thing I got them cheap!

Also had to semi-scratchbuild some weapons for them using greenstuff and the old waveserpent sprue, as he still hasn't dug out some of the ones which came with them.
 
Ouch. I hate buying second hand badly built stuff. Cos its all plastic from GW and they encourage the use of plastic glue, once its built, its buggered.
Only reason I hate GW, its mostly plastic, anyway, today I'll probably carry on with my Khadorans.
 
18 Ripplers plus a couple of dozen ACTA fighters I had in my spares box (mix of T-bolts, Falkosis and Nials) plus double-height flight stands made with 2mm aluminium wire (soft and bendy:) )
