Warhammer 40k Astra Militarum Valkyrie

[Alan 45]

seeing as I've already started this and it's not really under construction I figured this was the proper place for it


After building the razorback and sticking WWII decals on I decided to build this one as it should be


This is the interior of the rear compartment , I've used citadel paints

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys


I've now got the base colours on View attachment 121568

I've painted the back of the thrusters in gunmetal and given them a black wash and will finish them off with a dry brush of steel to add some detail View attachment 121569

started the splinter camo and I'm quite pleased with the lines as they are free hand , I've got to get some different colours to finish off the tail

 

[monica]

you have me in as well, :D


Great work Alan so far , the gunner looks great and like the compartment he is in as well,


so what scale are we talking her,as the ship has very nice detail,as well,

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers moni glad to have you onboard


When I was looking at scales I read that these were 28mm but they aren't they are 40 mm so it's just a tad smaller that 1/48 which I think is 43mm so you can get away with 1/48 figures , nose to tail this is 12 inches long, this is only my second kit and although they look good this one is a bit fiddly , instructions don't help as they do leave bits out and this leaves you wondering why pieces don't fit together as they should, also this kit is off centre , the engines can only go in one position but it throws out one side by a millimetre or so and this can give you problems later on when attaching the air intakes but these are just little anoances and its best to dry fit first

Well all the base coats are on now and it's just a pin wash and distressing to do after that I'll set to work on the figures and base

 

[Alan 45]

Pin wash is done down one side and I've put the canopy on View attachment 121766

 

[eddiesolo]

Cheers mate glad to have you onboard

I've now finished the pin wash on the other side, just the back stabiliser and underneath and it's the fun bit od distressing to give it a well used look

 

[noble]

This is lookin cool, I've ordered one.
