...
Many moons ago I friendzoned a lady, she has now steadied herself with a retard of a guy and hence have left all of her former persona behind and taken his as hers, as many ladies do when they find someone dominant enough. Her new guy is insufferable, but so am I sometimes, so it works... Anywho and anyhow, she gifted me with all her paints! I have not shown all of them here as some of them are quite specific and outable, if you get what I mean.
Not sure on how to continue with this thing... verdigris? It feels lazy but would add something... as it is now, it is too flat...
Haven't even started to paint the surrounding dude-dwarfs yet, think I might save it for S.A. - too much at work for now... today I think I made roughly 10 phone calls, received 30-some calls, dealt with at least three or four serious "fires" started by others, and dodged a humiliating meeting as well as dodged my closest boss wanting to eat lunch with me... feck off please, I want at least 20 minutes of peace and quiet... :/
Quite the overexposure in this picture, and most of the other ones in this update. But it matter little as it is more important to get a good look at the general construction. In the end, I will try to emulate the official GW paintscheme to try to tie it into the Kharadron-thing - it is also good as it pays a healthy homage to the model I was very much inspired by.
As tradition bides, I started with the metals.
Then I did a warm blue, almost going towards purple as the basecoat for the hull.
And then two more layers of lighter and lighter purple. The exhaust vents doesn't really look like what they are in reality, but in this picture I am only thinking of "Would you like a large or small coke with your McMeal?"
Wow, the front cannon really looks malplacé ici...
... in reality, it looks great, take my word for it, lol...
That is it for now, see you later, people.
Perhaps it is sized more like the Overlord's frigate, but it matters very little. We shall keep calling this project an Ironclad.
Will need to fix the priming with a brush as the can-method had to be done covertly since I now live in an even smaller apartment than previously. Which is quite "interesting" as the newly renovated 4-roomer across the street was given to a "newly arrived" family of 4 from what I assume is Eritrea. I called the bureau that keeps tabs on all registred persons in Swedistan and said - as is our right, still - that I wanted to know when this family moved in there. Got a date a few months after I moved in. Okay, where did the man live before?
"Nowhere. We have no address, most likely they are 'newly arrived', yes." apparently they did not even go to one of the temporary places you go when you (automatically) get temporary okay-to-stay (TuT) but was immediately placed in a fresh apartment. I had roughly 11 years in the queue to get this place, had needed a few years more if I had wanted anything else than the smallest, most run down apartment (ground floor) known for the sporadic break-ins that happen here. Who do you think pay the rent for the 4-room apartment across the street? If you can spend your days in leisure, walking about and BBQ:ing everyday I do not think you have much time - or interest - to get a job. And this is one example, there are roughly 500 000 more that are equally bad, 500 000 that are many times worse, and perhaps 500 000 that are even worserer as we say.
Let's have some humour to break this shit up...
It is funny because it is tr... jaja, you've heard it before.
Before priming and before the sticks that hold the fly-balls together were added.
This has to be one of the worst balanced models I have ever made, but for many reasons it has to be that way. The fly stand will likely break very soon which will force me to redo some things, but I will try to ignore that for now and get to painting later next week. This and the next week will be filled with work.
After priming. Sticks added.
While the idea is very much high fantasy I did not manage to get the right GW-look. It will take some time to acklimatize (please help me spell this word) myself with the exaggerated ornamentation of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar...
