Thanks guys, when I get to that stage I'll be sure to have a chat with you and get some guidance! It will be helpful!
Work is progressing slowly as my daughter is sick again, poor thing (luckily it's just a cold); but I've been going over the model when I've been able to and getting the basecoat blocked in along with some subtle shading and highlighting. I still have a little bit to go, but I should be ready to start the weathering process within a couple days.
Some keen eyed readers might notice a few differences from the scheme I was going for - some of those differences were intentional, some not so much, hehe - but I think I'm working myself towards capturing the image of the Marauder Destroyer pictured in Imperial Armour Volume 1 operating over the jungle Deathworld.
For those curious, here is a list of the painting steps I've done so far
1) Basecoat Skull White
2) Airbrush Kommando Khaki
3) Mask for camo pattern - airbrush Catachan Green
4) Mask for underside shade - airbrush Chardon Granite
5) Clean up where necessary with the appropriate colors mentioned above.
6) Glaze the aircraft Gryphonne Sepia
7) Drybrush tan areas with Bleached Bone
8) Drybrush green areas with Camo Green
9) Draw out all panel lines with Devlan Mud (did this twice)
10) Repeat steps 6 through 8
11) Basecoat metal details with a 5:1 mix of Boltgun Metal and Chaos Black
12) Basecoat brassworks with Tin Bitz
13) Wash metal and brassworks with Devlan Mud
14) Basecoat black details with Chaos Black
15) Drybrush black areas with Adeptus Battlegrey
16) Wash black details with Badab Black
I'll add to this list of steps as I work myself through to the finish line. Not sure if anybody finds it useful, but at least its there if I loose it and want to paint another Marauder Destroyer...
On another note...
this has gone from building and into painting... do I just keep going or is it the moderators wish that I start a new log in "Painting"? I noticed I've not been particular with where I posted the Khorne stuff, which should have all been in painting (moderators - feel free to move the thread).
