Morkanaut DONE!

W00t!  Pretty pleased with the way it came out.

Next up.... Imperial Knight!

Bitz Box Bingo!

Small update.

I've done a bit more work on the Morkanaut.  Right now I am adding another layer of yellow to the armor to enrich the color and add a layer of depth.

Also, I've been picking away at my 'Sky Fire' objective...  it's kind of a Bitz Box Bingo sort of situation but ... it's coming together. 

I added an Atari-esque joystick controller... because I thought it was funny. 

Progress on the Morkanaut! AND Pain Boy!

I've finished all the 'Mid-tone' on the whole Morkanaut!  Phew!  Actually, not as much work at doing the Deff Speederz.

So the whole model now has a fairly even coat of Averland Sun.  I left some areas around the rivets and in the cracks darker to start to build up color and convey a sense of age / dirt / grime.  When painting Orks I think about who would be maintaining these vehicles.  Certainly not the Orks themselves... they have slaves for that!  So.. I try to imagine some lowly grot being forced to clean armor, polish boot, load weapons... etc against his will.  Sourly wiping away grime and doing a half ass job ... but doing just enough to avoid being kicked in the teeth... or eaten.

Next layer will be a 50/50 mix of GW's Averland Sun and Vallejo's Model Color Flat Yellow (70.953).

In other news.... while waiting for large expanses of Morkanaut to dry I painted up an Ork Pain Boy!

I love this model.  I love everything about it.  I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out too.  The only dissenting opinion I've heard about this model is that there is only one pose... which I suppose I can concede but . . . I have one of the older metal pain boy models painted up too.   

I'm digging this model so much I may buy another one and chop it up to create a Paint Boy on a bike.

Schools Out!

Progress on the Morkanaut!

Base coated with Averland Sun

Washed with Agrax Earthsahde

Started mid-tone with Averland Sun.

So far I've "mid-toned" both legs, and the claw of Mork.  Working on the body now. 

Oh, and his base is pretty much done. 

New Project - Morkanaut

Started building a Morkanaut for my Ork army.
I've done the basic construction and laid down the base color.
I'm going to paint it in several sub-assemblies and then assemble it all at the end.
