Warrant Officer Second Class Posts: 297 Group: Comrade Member #1,908 Joined: July 21, 2011	Board is mainly tau, but will be building some imperial structures soon. The paint is acrylics my g-dad bought in Yorkshire and the local decora's. And I probably should have used plasticard!

Reminds me of when I got started in this hobby back in the 80's. Where I was (The US) you couldn't buy much, you had to make vehicles, boards, and scenery out of found materials. Then I had to drive 50 miles to the FLGS, in the snow, uphill both ways! It made a hardcore gamer out of you!

Warrant Officer First Class Posts: 472 Group: Comrade Member #628 Joined: August 23, 2008	Easy E 27 Sep 2011, 07:11 PM I love the enthusiasm here. Ditto! Looks like a promising start. Couple of tips though, several thin coats of paint is better than one thick one. Using a primer on your models will also help with the paint application. Good imagination in the design of the craft so kudos for that The board is coming along nicely and will look even better with the addition of some more buildings. I'll be watching this with interest. PS: That's a grand looking train layout in the background

If you can, really make sure that the moldlines are removed from the models before you paint them. It can take a bit of time and effort, but its worth it in the end. Take a file, or a sharp knife and scrape the moldlines off. You will really notice a difference. Do you undercoat your models? If not I would suggest using some black primer and spray undercoat your models first. Then apply the basecoats. Be patient and be neat. You have a great start there, and I look forward to seeing you develop even further as a painter. I hope my advice goes someway to helping. As I said though, good start and the force looks cohesive in its colour scheme.

Warrant Officer Second Class Posts: 297 Group: Comrade Member #1,908 Joined: July 21, 2011	Thanks, I did prime them with poundland matt black (it's cheap). The colou scheme is shadow grey with a liberal drybrush of SW grey. I am still n the process of basing my force and the thunder is finished for good! Should I post my dreadfleet stuff in here as well?
