Cheers cassar, might have to consider this one my journeyman’s piece. Got a bit more done today. And polished off the thighs, roughed out the belt and arse flap (no idea what the proper term is) View attachment 61510View attachment 61511View attachment 61512View attachment 61513

Managed to make some progress on my 120mm Terminator build. This thing called work keeps getting in the way. Added the tassets and sanded them the belt and the butt plate. I also started the edge banding on the shoulder pads and re profiled the lower rims.

Another day, another step closer to finishing my 120mm Terminator. Started to add some decorative elements. The chest Aquila as well as inquisition was insignias to the pauldrons. Also started sculpting Aquila’s on the forearms. Lastly started adding what will be a leather wrap to the hammer handle. Still need to finish the hammer and decide what if any other decoration to add.

Well folks, I finally put the finishing touches to my scratch built 120mm Terminator build. I would love to know what you think and any suggestions on how I can improve future builds.

WIP on painting my scratch built 160mm (I know I said it was 120mm but I actually measured it). Primed in grey followed by a layer of gloss black. Added a layer of metallic lacquer paint. This will have multiple layers of dark glaze to give a deep dark feel to the armour. Also started on the aged bone effect I want for the pauldrons.

This is going to look fantastic when finished.

 

[Meph]

Oh my, that's looking suitable awesome!

 

[Sycotic]

Thanks Krule, and Bullfrog. And a hat tip to you Meph, it wouldn’t exist it I hadn’t seen a picture of your Blood Angel.

Progress today, I started on the gold details on the Pauldrons so they look less like half an egg. Started on the hammerhead and after many (I lost count) coats I finally got the main armour a shade and depth I am happy with. I also added an insignia to the right knee which fell off one of my other builds. C and C welcome.

thanks Lone Lemming

here is a picture of the paints I used in order from left to right.

apply the base colour from lightest to dark. Once dry used the crackle medium (heavy coat seems to work best). Leave overnight to dry in a warm place. Once dry apply a thinnedwash of oil based paint (it must be oil based as any water based paint will dissolve the crackle medium) the wash will run into and bring out the cracks. Wipe most of the wash off with earbuds and kitchen roll until you are happy with the effect. Let dry before adding a coat of gloss varnish to protect it.

Hope this helps,

So another fun project cones to an end.
