I really dig the under-wing lascannon pods you've done, would love a closer look!<br /><br />Using the lascannons from the dread is inspired, that's a brilliant idea!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312169504632714332.post-14931986420724589142013-06-18T14:34:08.259-07:002013-06-18T14:34:08.259-07:00To be honest, I've been experimenting with pai...To be honest, I've been experimenting with painted canopies since then and it's been fun! Did a 'reflected horizon'-style thing on a Nephilim, and am planning on doing a gold polarized effect on the Eldar tanks.<br /><br />For sealant, for the last couple years I've been using the "krylon matte finish sealer #1311" which works really well. It was recommended to me by an art-on-canvas style painter friend of mine, and I really dig it. When it's first sprayed on it looks glossy just due to it being wet, but dries to a nice matte finish. However, as I've found out it does fog the clear canopy and flight stand plastic that GW uses (that was the first clear canopy I'd sealed since switching over to the #1311), so I've taken to masking everything with painters tape since the unfortunate Vendetta incident! That caveat aside, ever since I've switched over I haven't had a single issue with frosting on my painted miniatures - I definitely recommend give it a try!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312169504632714332.post-49977051281963117312013-06-18T13:16:37.994-07:002013-06-18T13:16:37.994-07:00Ahhhh, I thought painted canopies was the "ne...Ahhhh, I thought painted canopies was the "new-hotness" or something.<br /><br />What do you use to spray seal.

Either way works for me. :) <br /><br />I can't claim credit either, I took my inspiration from an army I saw at Feast of Blades last year, he had a whole flight of 'em done this way and they looked really sinister. Definitely dig the swept-back look - it's very vulpine.<br /><br />As far as the painted canopies go, I forget to mask them when I spray sealed the Vendetta and they frosted over really badly, so they ended up getting painted to mask my ineptitude. Hah!<br /><br />Cheers!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312169504632714332.post-11936964911655896922013-06-18T10:55:47.503-07:002013-06-18T10:55:47.503-07:00You know, Mord, you may have planted this seed.

I did a swept-wing Vendetta a while back and was quite pleased with how it turned out.<br /><br />http://mordian7th.blogspot.com/search/label/Vendetta<br /><br />Definitely looking forward to seeing it painted up, it certainly looks more aggressive with the swept wings!
