    Here come the Sharks...your gonna need a bigger boat!

    The start of a commission I took on here. Chap wanted something gritty, along the lines of the sharks that we all know and love. Thankfully he is pleased and several more Knights, a couple of warhounds, a gunship and maybe more to follow!

    First up here is the test piece, it's much nicer in the flesh, very sharky blue/grey but hopefully these pics give a rough idea

    Looks good. Very dominating.

    First of all - great painting, incredibly smooth and a well-balanced colour scheme! Top notch.

    Second - Wait, what... Is that thing available to buy? Where? (Yes, I've seen BigDaddy's blog, but didn't find any info about buying through my rudimentary skills in French)

    Cheers,

    That's awesome. How big is that model anyway?

    It's a shame none of the rules I've seen include the knight lance attack or their unique power field.


    [edit] I found this page where BigDaddy talks about selling them and shows the different models

    Got stuck into another Knight now the Wolf job is finished so the Second Knight is done. I feel like I am getting into the jazz now with these things so decided to add a little extra eye candy, nothing major, a few cables here n there and some studdage inspired by the new FW Tyberos figure, hopefully pulls it altogether to make things look a little more 'sharky'

    I also decided to save myself some time by taking a picture of my initial painted shark emblem and creating some water-slide transfers from it. Saves me having to paint it over and over again, it also means I can re-size it for all of the remaining vehicles and keep things more uniform looking, yay for laziness! :lol:




    Fred stepped into something nasty


    The transfer created from my original painted emblem, a little overpainting and it's a labour saving miracle of modern technology!

    Re: Here come the Sharks...your gonna need a bigger boat!

    The studs are simply plastic sprue cut to size and lightly sanded, inspired by the Tyberos figure I may well follow this theme through with the other knights, 'Hounds and gunship


    That Thermal Lance 'they don't like it up 'em'!


    Does my bum look big in this?

    I really don't like those Knight models. Do like the paintjob though. Great job on the both of them. I'd like to see this scheme on a more nicer model.

    I agree with Spekkie, the paint is smooth as silk, and looks great, but the models themselves are a let down. They are true to the epic aesthetic though, so if thats your patrons bag, more power to him.
