The wings were made from 4 antenna from Devilfish, 2 Antenna from forgeworld heavy gun drones, and 2 antenna from regular gun drones.very nice, I too am a lover of mecha. seems to have a Gundum/Evangellion feel to itwhat bits did you use to make the wings?
great stuff man! the dark flesh shading looks excellent. who cares wether that makes sense or not. it makes some awesome contrast of cool and warm colours in a rather subtle way.
great

Re: Legacy40k's Tau Prototype Army Painting Log

I thought id give it a couple of days before chekcing back as your updates seem to be relentless, and indeed, so many things have appeared since i last looked here.
The poses and the paint jobs are exceptional. I think you have really got a fab look going on here, and as always with your stuff, you've managed to really hit it right on the head.
The other amazng thing for me is the basing. I love the snowy bases. I know alot of people on here spend alot of time on basing, but yours look fab without taking away from the model itself.
This is a true tau masterclass, and i think alot of people could learn from your dedication to truely great looking models.

I hope the judges at the Toronto Golden Demon think the same thing this Saturday as these 3 suits will be entered in the unit catagory (I've never seen crisis suits win in the unit category, and only a couple have won single model categories). Originally I wanted to enter a unit of 8 (with drones) (and if I don't win this year.. next year I will enter 8) as farsight and bodyguard, but it took to much time to make each suit and I was in a painting lul for a while so I didn't get any others done.

Awesome shading,
Is the red part of the coloring or is that weathering?
Great conversion works they give the Tau a different sort of utilitarian feel. The shading technique on green-suit is also ... amazing lol.
Great re-interpretation of the Tau suits - they have real attitude to them!

I hate you...

What can I say, I'm a happy guy
Took me a while to figure out what to do for the base of this guy.
I needed something flag because of the way I built him.. but I also didn't want it to be 100% snow.. and I want him raised as the other 2 models in the unit are raised off the ground a bit in some way. It took me a while and then I thought of oil piping.. I couldn't just do two pipes though. as the model wouldn't balance very well on them, so I added a catwalk as well.
After taking these pictures of the head, I've noticed a few little things that need to be cleaned up, but overall.. it's all there.
Looks good!
Can't wait to see the finished product! lol

Pre Snow:
I need to go over all the black areas still on this model and touch up some of the highlights which seem to have rubbed off which is a real pain.
Some seriously awesome converting AND painting here.
I'm impressed.
Keep'em coming..
Cheers
