Constable' DUST Tactics Figures
« on: April 18, 2014, 06:11:17 AM »
Hi All,

After painting up a Cap America and a team of Axis grenadiers, I've painted the Allies Revised starter set. I needed to paint them for my brother, and was aiming for tabletop quality. That said there were features I enjoyed painting on each figure; the goggles, the camo and the area lighting from the jet packs.


The Hammers


The Death Dealers


The Hell Boys

And MY figures posted also in my SSS/Fallout Post Apoc thread





Cheers
Matt

Very nice - a real comic book quality.

Thanks Lucky, the Cap does have that nature to him. I like WK's sculpt.

Nice painting.

Thanks, so far each time I've played Axis I have lost :(

The Axis Hydra Heavy troops have been painted. I tried source lighting for the first time.





I didn't want to use open faced helmets (even one of my heavy lasers came with an open face helm) so I used some Pig Iron gasmask helmets.

Cheers
Matt

Pulp girls mecha has taken control and begun a rampage. She needs freeing from her metal prison and her mech stopped. Will the heavy lasers and rapid deployment vehicle save the day??? Or will the sinister painting princess complete her nefarious scheme and commandeer the droid?

Constable's DUST: Allied Walkers Honey and Blackhawk
« Reply #7 on: June 07, 2014, 08:03:09 AM »
Two walkers join the allies in battle, the close range 'Blackhawk' and longer ranged 'Honey'. All painted in acrylics with 28mm Cap for reference. These were a good exercise to continue rust painting techniques and 'heated metal' effects. Otherwise pretty quick PJ's.







Honey is part of my brothers allied army. I liked the motor bike aspect of the kit and thought he would too. So I painted it up with references his motorbike - a yellow Moto Guzzi 'No2' cafe racer. He liked that a lot.





Thanks for looking chaps.

Love the 'bike-rider aspect too.

Cleverly done.

Thank you both for the kind words. The next two German walkers will hopefully look even better with more careful weathering.

Cheers

The last of my DUST axis infantry. I have some WGF Russians which I will convert into SSU up next, and finishing off my two light axis walkers.
