Title: Void Project
Post by: Inso on November 26, 2011, 12:04:01 PM: Thanks to Leutenant Brittan, I have started a small Void 1.1 project and this is the first stuff painted. These are some Viper Wings with support from a trike:

I have the next (almost identical) unit prepped and on the painting table now.

These have been hidden away in a cupboard for longer than I care to mention and it was only the unit-a-month challenge that got these painted.

There's nothing like a challenge to get things moving :) .

A couple maybe...I have 14 in all so I can't be sure (all of the bikes I had have had to go in the Dettol).

I look forward to seeing those painted...Koralon 'old-style'...nice :) .

I've already started the next batch of bikes (I can't stop myself!):

The different Viper bikes are spread over a few pages.

Post by: Inso on December 11, 2011, 10:37:59 PM: Cheers :) . I am still ticking along with them but am not progressing as quickly as I would like:

Since this pic was taken a little earlier, I have finished base-coating them ready for washing...but haven't got the wash on :( .

I like that idea!
Title: Re: Void Project
Post by: Inso on December 17, 2011, 11:35:28 PM: I guess they would almost work as the newest light-cycles from the recent film but I think the cockpit area would need to be filled to attempt to recreate the originals...

...I guess I have finished the second squad of them:

Once I have finished the platoon, I will have one spare sgt...I am thinking of painting that one in the Akira colours and converting a civvy rider...but then again...the Tron idea is pretty cool...decisions, decisions ???

Post by: Commander Vyper on December 17, 2011, 11:40:01 PM: Akira, without a doubt mate. Seminal Japanese anime sci-fi. Tron... nah. :)
Title: Re: Void Project
Post by: Inso on December 19, 2011, 09:51:40 AM: I must admit that Akira was the top of the very short list :D

Post by: Simlasa on December 22, 2011, 05:47:03 AM: Very cool bikes.
Like a lot of folks I'm sorely lacking in Void/Urban War minis.
Though I just bought some Junkers.

Who makes those nice lozenge bases?

The bases came from GW in a base pack (I know...I'm not proud) but there are plenty of resin ones available out there.

Post by: Argonor on December 23, 2011, 10:29:10 AM: Also always liked those bikes - only lack of time and finished futuristic gaming projects had me not buying them...

Well... I'll probably have a lot of time on my hands to dig into the lead and plastic piles after January 31.... Maybe I'll even get some of my many projects finished lol
Title: Re: Void Project
Post by: Inso on January 10, 2012, 09:55:10 PM: I've just prepared the third and final squad of bikes ready for paint :). It is always nice to take a little time away from running projects to chill out with a bit of flash removal, drilling and pinning!

That's 4 more bikes ready for paint and the start of this months quota of bikes for the Void1.1 challenge/project.

Once this squad is done, I just need to paint the commander and the Viper Wing platoon will be ready for varnishing :).

Post by: Inso on January 24, 2012, 06:36:51 PM: Last squad:
