Tank Finished.... I think..

So I'm pretty much finished with my tank, I spent a few hours detailing it and I have to say after painting this I have no love for painting tanks at all. I'm not entirely happy with it but it's table ready. In a week or so I might go back and fix all the little stray bits of paint I missed this time around. Although I did have a little fun with wet blending on the little blue windows.
I've decided I really enjoy wet blending and could spend way to much time noodling with the paint and getting nothing done.
So yeah exorcist 1 done now to finish the other two I have still in the boxes. Although the other ones are the more traditional exorcist tanks with the pipe organ so those might actually be fun to paint.

BOLS smack down / Nerd Rage


Is it bad that I really really really enjoyed reading the bickering and smack down on the last BOLS Poll about the inquisition?
Seriously just because you are female in a primarily male hobby doesn't give you the right to be a total jerk to everyone who doesn't agree with your opinion. It's off putting and makes people avoid you and the forums that you post on.
I'm sure there is the same problem with certain people that are not female and it's just a 'human issue also known as Nerd Rage' but when there are such a small amount of female players in this game one bad apple makes the rest of us just look bad.

Jason's Sculpt


Since I've had the hardest time getting Jason to post to his blog I figured I would post it to mine to help get him inspired to update his own blog.

I'm not sure who does the photography for PP but they always pic the weirdest angles to present their figures. Check out the 360 view for more detail.

WIP Tank

Ok so here are a few more pictures after I did a little bit more noodling on the tank. Most of the detailing has not been finished or cleaned up. Most items only have a wash on them (if that). I also darkened up some of the shadows I was painting in.
I still have a long way to go, hopefully i'll get to work on it again in the next few days.

Tanks Ahoy!

So after getting Fed up with that darn PE I decided to start work on my first Exorcist Tank. It's modified from the traditional tank and a lot easier to work with as far as modeling and painting goes.
For the paint scheme I'm going with subtle shading and I'm also going to be adding a bunch of dings and such as well as dirty up the treads quite a bit.
So here is the first bit that i've worked on. When i told Jason i worked on my tank he walked over to it and was about to call "Shenanagins" on me until he picked it up and looked turned it around to a different angle.
So I'll label that as a success!
