Yeah those stripes are looking REAL good man, very very clean! Thank you, sir. I appreciate the comments. And yes, I too am pleased with them, especially considering it was a first attempt. That Tamiya masking tape for curves is really good stuff. I highly recommend it. |

Morning folks, So, I made some more progress on the WL titan this weekend and wanted to share the latest. Got out the 'ol light box out to help with the details. Anyway, here's what we have so far:    Anyway, next up is the head, which I've been saving so that I could decide on the color pattern after seeing the rest of the titan's armor. Also, the panels on the volcano cannons as well as the missile launchers. After that, it will be on to decals/weathering, however I might call it temporarily good before that and move on to some of my other titans, in order to at least get them built/primed, etc. (Not to mention, doing all that trim really burnt me out! I need to cleanse the palate for a bit!) But, this is where I'm at so far! |

Thank you, sir. And also thank you for the airbrushing advice which you helped me out with separately. It's harder to see here because the lighting is washing out the titan a little bit, but there is some color gradient going on which is the first time for me to try with an airbrush. Anyway, with my next titan(s) I'll try to embellish this even more, especially with the darker color scheme, to help give it even more depth. But, for a first try, it's turning out pretty well, all things considered. |

I'll pose this question to the airbrushers here in this thread, since it applies to this project.
Does anyone spray matte or gloss coats out of the airbrush in order to seal models? If so, which brands do you use/prefer? Anything different about spraying these kind of clear coats out of an airbrush in terms of set up/psi?

I use the vallejo varnishes. So far I've used both matte and satin and have been pleased with the results. I have thinned the varnish coat to make it easier to spray and done a couple coats and it seems good.

I thin mine with airbrush thinner, also by vallejo, and it works fantastic. I've also had decent luck just spraying it clean, no thinner, but thinner is definitely the safe bet.

I also use vallejo airbrush thinner. I'm a huge fan of all vallejo products.

I have had both success and trouble working with the Vallejo Matte varnish with an airbrush. When doing my Dark Angels tanks, it worked super well with airbrush thinner. When trying to use it recently on my Song of Ice and Fire minis, even with thinner, it clogged pretty much instantly. I blame it on my shitty airbrush though.

I’ve noticed that using varnish requires a VERY thorough clean of the airbrush afterwards or you’ll have issues with the airbrush forever. |

Hey all, Well, I have finally returned to this project since the Doom of Molech expansion came out and got Adeptus Titanicus back on my radar. In fact, I'm trying to get all the titans I have built and painted so hopefully I can get a game in soon! Anyway, I put the Warlords on the back burner while I work on the smaller titans and try to improve my paint scheme, technique, etc. So, here is the Warhound that I just got "done." Some minor things still need to be completed, like decals (once I figure out what I want to do) and sealing the model. But for now, this one is good to go. Let me know any thoughts!     |
