![]() So I had to switch the colours to a stronger brown and orange to represent the rust, instead of the normal black and brown. ![]() Once the black was done I tried to use my normal sponge chipping method but it did not work well on the black at this scale. This meant that I had to redo quite a few areas and I could not use any masking tejp on the model. However I quite quickly realized that there was something wrong with my base spray as it did not retain the paints and it peeled of from the plastic. I had previously tried it out on a Contemptor dreadnought and it worked fine so I had good hopes. The big question was if my recipe for Dark Angels jet-black, that I used on the infantry, would work on a larger model. Since I do not have any active HH army, but a few fallen Dark Angels as well as a few pre-heresy models I decided that it would be a nice challenge to paint something other than ghost green and Mechanicum red. The plates where then re-attached before painting the main hull. The tracks in my normal rusted metal that I have use on other models. I actually left some of the track guards off in the beginning so that I could paint the parts of the tracks that would later be covered just to get a nice continuity on the track. I was thinking about leaving the tracks off and paint them separately but decided that that would have it own problems, such as consistency along the track. I choose to paint the main hull as one piece and the turret, guns and exhaust separately to make it easier to access all parts. The plastic version is a great model and is fun to build and paint. ![]() ![]() I have always wanted one since FW released their resin version but I could not really motivate the cost since I am not actively collecting HH. I love this model, it has such character. After a few sessions I have now finished it in the livery of pre heresy Dark Angels. It is new hobby year and I stated out, working on my Christmas present Sicaran Battle tank that I got from my wife. ![]()
