Meerdere projecten tegelijkertijd heb ik u draaien. Buiten het schilderen van 5 Deathwing squads, ben ik ook bezig met de lightning en de titan. Ik probeer de Deathwing voor 13 December af te krijgen, en de titan moet 22 November klaar zijn. Druk druk druk. dus. Tevens ben ik begonnen met een nieuwe scratch build. Ik probeer een thunderhawk te bouwen. Ik heb via www.kunstofshop.nl voldoende Polystyreen (plastic card) gekocht om het model 3 maal te bouwen. Ik ben nu alle onderdelen aan het uitknippen om de hoofdcabine te maken. Foto’s komen vanzelf op de site.

Meerdere projecten
Saturday, November 7th, 2009Vindicator project
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
I decided to do something different than the tale of x gamers last week. I had some bits and pieces lying around, and i decided to crate a demolisher with a siege shield to go with my next army. I already own a space marine army, but i want to play a different chapter, so i will be playing a dark angel army (soon i hope). I have already ordered my soldiers from e-bay! The vindicator will support my Death wing squads very well.
I created the siege shield from two normal dozer blades. And i modified the front of the old Rhino to hold a Imperial mortar which acts as the demolisher cannon. At this stage i found out that the sides of the rhino i was using, where not perfectly straight. This caused some problems with the alignment siege shield. The siege shield is now slightly off center. This does not bother me so i do not think i will do anything about is. But the model as is does not look all that good (i think a nice even base coat will fix this).
I looked at some pictures on internet to find out what still had to be done. I noticed the old style vindicator was wider than the Rhino model, so i adapted the model to be wider than the original. I placed a (filled down) razorback cover on top of the rhino, and added and old computer fan i had lying around. Because the sides where now a little dull, i added a door on each side of the vindicator, and added come extra exhaust bits.
Eventually i created the stormbolter gunner. I thought a heavy stubber looked better than a small stormbolter as pintle mounted support. The gunner model does not fit on the old rhino model so i made a new posision out of a 20 mm base. There are still things todo on the model. I will make a grid on the left side of the vindicator (like the one on the engine compartments). And then of course there must be painting…..
Magnetized necrons
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009After a good tip from a friend of mine i decided to take a look at magnetizing some of my new Necron heavy destroyers. This way i could deploy them as either heavy or normal destroyers. The operation was fairly simple as you can see in the pictures. I bought the magnets for under three euro’s in the “action” store. It is sold as “magnastix”. In order to get the magnets you will have to cut open the plastic rods with a sharp cutting tool. Watch out for the metal inside!
First i widened the hole in the Torso of the destroyers. With a little green-stuff i fixed the magnets in place making sure the edge of the magnet was on the edge of the ribcage.
For the heavy weapons i just fixed an other magnet to the weapon. I made sure the polarity was right (or else the weapon would not be usable at all). I did not use the supplied spacer.
I cut off the joint ball of the normal destroyer arm, and then i fixated a magnet to the arm using green-stuff. Not the nicest method but it will look better once painted. I attached the gun to the arm at a later date.
And you are done. Of course you can magnetise the flying base in the same manner, but at the moment this is not giving me any problems. If you are going to do this as well remember “polarity” Make sure the magnets are facing the correct way. I marked one of the rods, and i used it to make sure all magnets were facing the correct way, without using the magnets that were freshly glued to a model! In the process my Dreadnought got magnetized as well. He has got some weird weapon options now!
Lightning
Monday, March 30th, 2009
These are the first steps for building my own lightning fighter for future Apocalypse games. I downloaded the plans from the zealot website. I also found an active thread on the forum of someone also building the same model. I hope to learn from his examples. I will be placing new posts as i make some progress. The first step is glueing the printouts from the plans to cardboard.
Modeling Necron objectives
Thursday, March 12th, 2009
For a competition i am hosting, you can win points by modeling a few objectives. Two of the objectives are made from bits i got of an “Imperial sector”. The other one, an obelisk i build from scratch. The obelisk was made from plastic card. First i drew the the obelisk on the plastic card. And cut it out with a pair of scissors. You can see here i drew the picture horizontal, i suggest you draw it diagonally. The obelisk will get higher this way. The sides are approximately 1,5 cm and the height is approximately 5 cm. If you are going to do this aim for a height of 7 cm.
The folding lines i scoured with a knife. and then i folded the obelisk together. It seemed my cuts in the plastic where to deep. The plastic card broke in the lines, and i still had several loose parts. When gluing it together it became a bit messy. A little filing and greensuff should be able to correct most holes. 
Now for the basing of the model. This was relative easy. just a little superglue and some sand. I added a loose scarab to guard the obelisk. You can also see my other two smaller objectives. A Necron warrior slumped against a wall, and a lamp post with a pile of skulls. (not too visible in this picture).
The next step is basecoating. 
Now for the real painting. I dry brushed the base with a custom color Grey. The obelisk was painted a dark color green, and the edges i highlighted with jade green. I added some transfers from the Necron transfer sheet, and i was done. The other objectives where a little more work due to the different colors i used. (pictures of the finished objectives will follow shortly

Space marine and Tyranide
Sunday, December 11th, 2005
Ik heb meer miniaturen gemaakt, maar deze is bijzonder vanwege het grote “customize” gehalte. Ik ben in September 2005 begonnen met het idee. Eind die maand had ik alle onderdelen bij elkaar en ben ik begonnen. Ik heb uiteindelijk een spacemarine geofferd om daar de benen af te halen. Ik had initieel het plan om de benen van greenstuff te maken. Maar omdat ik daar te weinig ervaring mee heb laat ik dat nog maar even zitten.
Plaatsen
Zoals je in de plaatjes hierboven kan zien heb ik alle armen van de Alien geherpositioneerd. Ook zijn de armen van de Spacemarine aangepast om ruimte voor de tyranide te maken. Tijdens het schilder proces zijn de armen ook regelmatig afgebroken. Halverwege oktober heb ik de miniaturen in de grondverf kunnen zetten. Om overal goed bij te kunnen heb ik de tyranide boven de achterpoot los geknipt. Als een van de laatste acties zou dan ook het terugplaatsen van de tyranide zijn.
Schilderen
Op deze fotos zijn verschillende stadia van het schilderen te zien. Ik heb eerst de marine geschilderd met eigenlijk alleen drybrush technieken. Ook kan je het kleurverschil zien tussen een oude en de nieuwe tyranide. Dit kleur verschil komt redelijk goed. Gelukkig ga ik nog een heel aantal tyranids doen, en deze komen eruit te zien als het nieuwe model.
Klaar
Het eind resultaat in December. Een tyranide die op het punt staat en weerloze Space marine op te peuzelen. Of een dappere marine die deze Alien een kopje kleiner gaat maken. Wie zal het zeggen.
Anders
Als ik dit nog een keer ga doen, zal ik meer experimenteren met verschillende poses. Mischien is er nog iets veel dramatiser van te maken. Ook het (her) bevestigen van de armen zou ik anders doen. De constructie is nu wat fragiel. Ik heb dan ook meerdere malen moeten lijmen terwijl de verf nog nat was…. een fijne kliederboel. Een verbinding dmv een pennetje zou veel beter zijn. 
Scaven Army
Friday, May 20th, 2005Step one
Cutting and cleaning all parts… A lot of them… It is a tedious job, but very important. You get to know which parts you have, and what combo’s you could make.
Step two Lots of Glue
I’ve started with all the bases building them all one-step at the time. Until finally all 25 of them are put together. Lots of leftovers though. But I’ll probably use them later one in a conversion project of some sort.
Next step is a base layer of paint. I used black coating spray (of car paint….). 
Painting
As you can see in the picture, they are a mean bunch. But not yet done. After I applied the basic coating of black, i painted the arms brown. I added a layer of elf flesh color to highlight the arms (and legs). After that i experimented with a green ink wash. It looks very nice if i do say so myself. I also painted the wooden staffs and shields at his stage. Some basic metal colors where added for all weapons. Some of the more heavy armored scaven got a beaten copper Armour with golden highlights. It looks very nice. This was also a little experiment of mine.
Dotting the eyes.
To finish it all off i gave all weapons a silver highlight for the sharp edges. Some of the woodwork was highlighted with a mixture of flesh an brown. All leather objects where painted now to. I decided to highlight some of the clothes with red-gore. This made it look more like a unit. The eyes where coloured blood red. And i was done painting.
All I have to do now is finish off the bases……
