Predator done, plus more
I really buckled down and got that Predator finished off. I’m really pleased with it, particularly the way I can use it as a Rhino, Razorback or Predator with all the various weapon options.
I’d bought a Razorback model at the same time as the Predator, and I busted that one out too, adding a converted las-plas weapon option for the turret. I still need to paint the heavy bolter and the lascannon, but it’s done otherwise.
And, to finish off, I painted a Librarian, with a magnetized left arm so I can switch pistol options.
Lots of pics this time so I’ve put them into a gallery. Enjoy!
You And What Army?

On your tanks, How do you get those edges to look so worn and scratched? What is your technique for that? It looks very convincing and realistic.

It’s a really simple and extremely effective technique. Take a piece of soft foam sponge – I use the stuff that comes in minis blister packs. You dip the corner in paint and just dab it on. I use a dark grey for the paint chipping, and dark brown for the rust. A little goes a long way with this technique. You don’t need to press too hard – just pat it on.
I got this from one of the Imperial Armour books and it’s so easy and effective I don’t know why it took me so long to discover it!
