 Member Since: December 8, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Monday January 6, 2014 1:08 PM Looking real nice! I will also jump on the "get an airbrush wagon" It really does make things easier and in my case makes up for a lack of skill as I can create highlights and fades. These things I cannot do with a brush particularly well (yet) but its a tool at the end of the day, theres a time and a situation to use it. |

 Member Since: December 8, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Monday January 6, 2014 2:32 PM I would love to know what kind of compressor you picked up for $60 as I currently happen to have $60 to spare! I already ordered an Iwata NEO online... should be here any day now... I'm dying to give it a go. Living in Canada I also have to contend with frosty weather. The airbrush will be a much better solution than scrapping off mold lines and priming as much as I can during the few months of 'not winter' we have.Can't wait to see this chapter masters head. Unless headless is the way you've decided to go. |

Member Since: May 10, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Monday January 6, 2014 2:37 PM Cheapo compressorthis will do. it will need some fittings to attach your hose and be LOUD but it will do. also look for Pawn brokers for cheapo compressors and even airbrushes. $100 cash shoud be more than enough to get equipment if you know where to look or get a coupon or sale... EDIT: Anything with a tank on it in ths category SHOULD work as a airbrush compressor... more compressors [[Edited by MunkeyJoe on Monday January 6, 2014 2:39 PM]] [[Edited by MunkeyJoe on Monday January 6, 2014 2:40 PM]] |

  Member Since: May 16, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Monday January 6, 2014 2:45 PM This is the one I bought: Tool Shop 2 gallon compressorI plan to purchase a "real" airbrush compressor when/if this one dies, I guess. Also, the Chapter Master will have a head... I just need to find the right one. Probably a beaky one, but fancy. Maybe from the new Sternguard kit. |

Member Since: May 16, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Tuesday January 7, 2014 11:40 PM I started underpainting for the gold parts and the tabard. I used the same color for both: Vallejo Chocolate Brown. This brown color acts as a great base for any gold color, and it also works great as a base for a 'canvas' colored tabard. I usually put a dark gold right over the brown, and a khaki over the brown for the tabard. More soon. |

 Member Since: May 16, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Friday January 10, 2014 8:34 AM Looking good so far. I like the play by play of reasons for colour choices. |

Member Since: May 16, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Friday January 10, 2014 5:59 PM Further progress on the converted Chapter Master. The tabard: I put down the khaki, and then the bleached bone, and then the sepia wash, and then went back over and highlighted with more bleached bone. That's how it looks so far. I also did a bit of the banner, as well. The gold: I put down Vallejo Old Gold in all the spots I want gold, except I forgot the hilt of the sword. I need to go back and do more of that. More to come! |

 Member Since: May 10, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Friday January 10, 2014 6:54 PM Wow that gold is looking great, can never get mine to look that smooth, it almost looks plated. do you thin your metalics? If so, with what? The Chapter Master is looking masterful (get it, Chapter Master, masterful...lol. I kill me)Sarge "If you ain't CAV, you ain't!!" |
