Haldir's Non-lotr Thread :Sd.Kfz 251/16 Flammpanzerwagen

Well since my last non-lotr thread went to trash due to lack of activity I'll start another and I'll try to update it more often

Here's a mini I picked up last week at my local hobby shop. I'm not into 40k at all gamewise, and in terms of modeling I've been interested only in SM, but when I saw this mini I had to buy it. One of most wicked minis I saw lately.

I tried to stray from standard Dark Angels Green looking Ork Skin and tried something different. How it turned out?? That's question for you

The skin is looking pretty good. I'm always a fan of the more subdued Ork skin tones. Excellent job on the Weirdboy's *ahem* weird eye.

That is one freaky looking eye right there.

Can't wait to see more progress.

:-D

The new orks are ace aren't they? the skin looks ace mate.

They sure are ace. Though chains on this one could be a bit better, those right now are a bit to stiff and look unnnatural.

So another update with today's progress. That leather vest stil needs couple of highlight layers and maybe 2-3 filters to turn out nice. But it all would be done after weekend (I'm going back home for the weekend ...not realy sure why

)

Looks fantastic Haldir! I'm a huge fan of your LOTR stuff so I cannot wait to see this chap finished, already looking great.

I've got to say that this model change my point of wh40k view

I loooove Orks, Waaaaagh

This model is great and I had so much fun painting it. Here are tome pics I took yesterday, though I'm out of my camera temporarily again, so I had to use my cell..

I'm still thinking about highlighting 'bone' elements a bit, plus I hace to come up with something for base, some metal trash perhaps

Haha for shame man, do Hasslefree Adventurers instead. You know you want to

As for the wierd boy, man you have a good cellphone! Top-notch blending as usual. The subtle laying on the blending is jaw-dropping. I still have a ways to go till I can match your skill!

Great job, superb shading!

Good job Haldir, skin-tones are beautiful!

The finished piece looks very, very nice. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Does this mean we'll be seeing the start of an Ork army soon?

I don't think so

I'm not a player so there will be no point of that

Though I may ocasionally paint something to get break from Lotr, and maybe list it on eBay for a couple of shinny ones to finance Lotr

Very nice work, I had never realised that there was so much going on at the back of this mini. Though I love Orks I can't see me ever doing this one just because of that reason.
The mini is far too busy for me but you have done a wonderful job of it.

Yeah That mini is a mess. I took me a while to figure everything out, friend of mine still jokes that even after seeing it painted, he still can't recone where this mini begins and where it ends
