Revenant titan part 4

I am attempting to make some custom pulsars for the big guy. I drilled out inside the sonic lance mount, and glued them inside. I then put the magnets on the end of the new pulsars with green stuff. The hard part was making sure that the pulsars were pointing the direction I want them to. So I positioned them and let it set overnight.


I may redo the pulsars though. They are not quite done. They are made from my son's old suction-dart arrows that he no longer plays with, and sections of pens. I am going to fix 'em up with some green stuff and see if that does it.

I have finished the head and the sonic lances. The lances I painted scorched brown, drybrushed shining gold, and then washed with a dark walnut wood stain. (Ace hardware brand-I think it smells better than other stains.) It give a good antique metal look.
Next I painted the pilot. He was harder to paint than I thought he would be. Oh well, most people won't even see him. He's done, thats about all I can say.
I wanted the head to compliment the work I have done on the shoulders, draw attention to itself, but not be too over the top. I have always liked star patterns for Eldar, who are the masters of the webways. I used a technique that works great for freehand painting. I drew the pattern out in pencil, painted it in, and then drew the center circle with black, fine tip sharpie. I also used the sharpie for the transition from the white to blue on the face. I still have some finishing touches to do, but he's almost done. (click on pics for closeup)

The Revenant is about 80% done. I have been trying out freehand painting, and it has been coming along pretty well. I painted the shoulder pads light yellow and then drew the designs on the shoulders with a mechanical pencil. Once I had a design I liked, (pilfered from Warhammer fantasy elves) I put the paint to the drawing. They came out pretty good. I still have a few touch-ups to do on them.

The Stipple pattern was done by first spray painting most of the model a medium blue, and then stippling layers of storm blue, enchanted blue, and finaly regal blue. I found that a twisting-dabbing pattern with the brush worked well with thick paint. If the paint got too watery, then the stipple pattern became very round. With thick paint I was able to get an interesting stipple pattern.

I have been considering what to do on the back fin. I don't like what is there now. I am thinking of doing a dark brown vine pattern over the yellow and white sections. We'll see how it turns out.

I finaly broke down and got a Revenant Titan.

I pinned all the important joints, and got him positioned in a decent, fluid position. I wanted him to look like he was just lifting off. Now I have some painting to do. These pics were taken December 27, 08.
