  • Pulsa Construction

    Got the engines/rokkits assembled and attached. so the basic structure is finished.   They are a bit reminiscent of a Chris Foss or Syd Mead spacecraft at the moment Wouldn’t have anything to do with me collecting thier art for almost 30 years and subliminal impressionism, hmm? Need to do the detailing like armor patches,…

  • Ransacking the Bitz Bin!

    Spent a couple hours sifting through my bitz boxes and bins and pulled a bunch of interesting stuff out for consideration. I think I’ve got Fat Boy pretty much figured out Rokkit-wise, I’ll work on the launchpad after I get the rokkit finished. Here’s the basic parts layout and I’ve started with the detailing and…

  • Apocalypse Blitz Part Two

    Started my second set up Apocalypse units tonight – two pulsa rokkits. I’m far enough along and have enough paint on the skullhammas that I won’t be embarrassed to deploy them as is if I don’t finish painting the details before Oct. 2nd. I’m more concerned about having enough time to finish the construction and…

  • Damned Dirty Skullhamma (s)

    Washed… Badab Black applied with a brush. Nothing tricky, it does tie everything together nicely now. Later!

  • Tutorial Time! Chipped Paint Weathering

    TUTORIAL TIME! Biff Gunhed over at Warseer asked about the “stippling”method I use to weather the paintjobs on my vehicles now. I’ve reached that point and made a visual tutorial of how to do it (at least how I do it) I choose a Chaos Black/Scorched Brown as a “primer”, or base color for my…

  • Paint Chipping Tutorial Part II

    I did the base color for both tanks at the same time and I’ll show the second step on the turret of the second tank.Here it is all dabbed up. I used a 20/00 brush for this part – no particular reason, it’s just what I happened to grab. It does happen to help when…

  • Skullahmma Work

    Small http://ateliers-du-net.com/, been busy with half my website sick and in/out of the hospital. Everything is alright now and on the recovery track for all involved. Did the drybrushing highlighting and started the basing for the metals – edges of cut panels, guns/exhausts, etc. I also did the checks for one tank. Turned out alright…

  • Skullhamma construction is complete

    OK – second skullhamma tank build finished. Grayscaled for the same reason as before. I’m priming this one right now and taking a long time since the humidity outside is so high at the moment. Spray, bring it in, let is dry, go back out and spray again, come back in and let it dry.…

  • Skullhamma primed

    Primed and some Barry shots, – nobs and a battlewagon. On to paint!

  • Painting the Skullhamma Battle Fortress

    Now dey go FASTA!!! Masked off and ready to go to the garage for airbrushing. And now they’re red! They’re really bright at this point so they’ll look a little cartoony – this is even more pronounced in the photos than in real life. Next will be the metals and details, then a couple of…
