I know, I said that I would like to have finished with Imperial Guard before year ended, but it seems quite impossible task. Anyway, let's advance a little. Today, the Valkyrie aircraft.
Another aspect of my obssesive way to understand the personalization of my minis is related to the interior of vehicles. See what I mean:
 |
| Yes, that white thing is the first-aid kit. It seems that everybody
forgets abot that and I belive it's essential in any transport! |
 |
| That was a (failed) attempt of red light flashing. Not ready for jumping out yet! |
A sight of the interior, showing the aircraft in battle condition:
 |
| You expected it clean? Get out to the field and let's see how long does anything keep clean |
The bench belongs to the Forge World resin kit with this wonderful crew:
 |
| Elysian parachutists, recycled as an assault team for my Regiment |
 |
| Amazingly detailed minis indeed |
Here's the complete interior, including the artillery crew:
 |
| We're crowded inside! |
The colour and identification system is just the same I've already shown you:
 |
| Circles for Infantry, squares for armoured vehicles... Triangles suited well the aerial support |
 |
| The door handle is not part of the kit, it's an improvisation of mine: just a staple glued to the door ;) |
I've become quite fond of detailing kits with little signs and indications, as they are part of real military vehicles. Caution signs, instructions and so.
 |
| Decals which I painted over and tiny signs everywhere |
Not much improvisation on the cockpit, just painting the detailed interior:
 |
| A real cockpit has way many more buttons, but what the hell, it's a sci-fi figure... |
 |
| I placed a HUD to improve the model. It' just a little piece of transparent plastic with random signs painted on it :) |
As this is Warhammer 40,000, I couldn't put the signs in English. They are all in Gothic (plain Latin). So there's no "
watch your step" but "
cave pedes", and no "
air intake" but "
aeris ductus":
 |
| I know you can't read them but believe me, they're there |
The final result is this:
 |
| Ready for duty |
Okay, this is it!
Have a nice end of 2012, we'll meet again in venturous '13. Happy new year!!
Your attention to detail is astonishing.
ReplyDeleteIt's clear that you love the process more than the result.
Happy 2013!
Haha, that's where all the fun is, in the creation of the project!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2013 to you too!
Increibles, me ha encantado sobre todo el interior que es a todo detalle.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
¡Gracias! :)
ReplyDeleteEs con lo que más disfruto, de verdad, sabiendo que cada mini es única.
Great detailing work, makes all the difference to the final model.
