Space Pirate Drop-Ship
« on: October 15, 2009, 06:46:55 PM »
Ok I know this isn't Zombie related but here's a couple of pics of a Pirate Drop-ship I've done for Star Mogul ( and AE Bounty when it's released).
I've used the same colour scheme as my pirates' power armour to give it a bit of uniformity.

That is magnificent and somehow has your stamp on it (in a good way, very good way)

Better watch out for recriminations though, you are in breach - "thou shall not paint things in colours we have not told you to"  ;D :D ;D :D

Thanks for the comments!

The colour was a bit of an accident really........ I undercoated it black and sprayed it with some cheap dark red car spray ( a rusty old can I found cheap at a car parts store). I then highlighted it using a sponge to apply some lighter red ( GW Crimson Gore mixed with dark flesh I think..) to any raised edges.
It isn't quite so bright in the flesh, the flash on the camera has over-exposed it a little.
Anyhow, I don't think I could repeat exactly the same colour if I tried!!!

I'll get the flying base sorted out over the weekend.

Beautiful! An amazing rich, vibrant red, and the detailing and weathering is spectacular. I have to say it - I've had my eye on that 40K model since it came out, for more or less the same purpose, but now here's my dilemma. By doing such a wonderful job on it you've demonstrated that the idea can work, but also that my own feeble efforts will fall so short of your wonderful paint-job that it's almost not worth doing it! Maybe.... Perhaps.... (sneaks another look at the dropship, and considers bank account.....) Just maybe....

Spectacular!

It's awesome and well done but there's no way that ship would could be flown.

That's why it's called a "drop" ship, Bako!
