MG Sinanju Stein modelled by Gianshopao

Absolutely stunning work by an old friend and fellow Filipino modeller Gianshopao!

I have featured the works of Gian a couple of times already. He is one of the most talented modellers in our country and his painting skills is just so flawless. Only a few could match such smooth clean finishing!

This masterpiece was his entry at last year's ( 2013 ) Bandai competition ( whatever it is called now ). Ended up with a consolation prize outside of the top 3. Nevertheless this is a beautiful piece worth raving about! The color combination is so beautiful and the modifications are clean and crisp! Gian calls this The " Obelisk ".

A ravishing build I would love to see in person one of these days. Great job Gian!

 

Thanks for dropping by! Until next post guys! Just Enjoy the Hobby! :)

custom Khador Destroyer Warjack by DC23

I just finished my first ever Warmachine Warjack. It took me a while as I wanted to give my Khador army a custom color scheme. My primary army is the Hordes Trollbloods that I paint in its original colors, so I thought of giving my Khador army a custom scheme as I am not so attached with the Khador fluff as much as the Trollbloods fluff.

I was leaning on giving it a nice military green color scheme with red shoulder armors. However I saw a few people have done that already. The default everything red color scheme is nice... but I thought Khador being a popular faction will have numerous players with red Khadoran army.

I do not want to steer away from the original Khador color scheme so much, so I thought of giving my army a uniform Winterguard color scheme. Light grey blue with some red armor highlights would blend well with any Winterguard unit and should look good in the battlefield.

I am pretty happy with the outcome of my first ever Warjack. Although I feel I had some bad choice of weathering colors with this one. I am also unhappy with the bronze colored parts as they look so flat eventhough I gave them some washes and gold highlights. I should exaggerate the gold highlights next time as they are not too visible in the photos.

No plans of doing NMM painting on these plastic Warjacks ( maybe with metal ones ) as it would slow down my painting even more. I will stick on this color scheme for a while and see if it looks good on my Man-O-War Shocktroopers unit.

I also customized the gun of my Destroyer as I find the stock gun a bit too short ( see photo below )... Anyways here are some photos of my first ever Khador Warjack...

KHADOR flames scheme @ BrushThralls

This got me woke up! My body clock is in chaos as I just woke up ( 8pm here ) and should be painting more models in a while.

I have been looking up at alternative color schemes for my upcoming Khador models as I want them other than red. I love the red army look so red should be part of the overall scheme. I found this super exciting Khador battlegroup in alternative / custom flames color scheme at BrushTralls.com. Awesome skill and marvelous stuff!

I would not be courageous enough to attempt this scheme on my models anytime soon, nor am I crazy enough to apply this on a whole army. This Khador scheme should look great on special pieces like the Behemoth though. I found the color scheme for my up coming Khador models... will share them to you once I start on them by next week ( apparently my seller cannot meet up tomorrow ).

Enjoy more photos of this fantastic work at BrushTralls.com... here is the link guys...
