Armoured Sentinel - Red Angel 4

Once again my modelling plans get altered immensely. I foolishly decided that I should be able to finish a 5 man command squad on a couple of weeks at most. I was happy painting, and thought this should be a piece of cake. However, its been three weeks since I picked up a brush. One week was lost with a family holiday to Florida, so I'll let my self off for that week. But the past two weeks have been lost to housework, tidying up and Dragon Age 2. I'm finding it difficult to divide my time evenly between computer games and painting. With today being a day off work though, I'm going to try picking up a brush again.

In the mean time I shall post some pictures of my remaining finished sentinel. Unlike the previous two sentinels, this one is armoured and armed with a lascannon. The model is the Armageddon Steel Legion Sentinel, with the metal extra armour. So here are the pics of Red Angel 4:











This model was a bit quicker to paint than the scout sentinels, as the interior cannot be seen and therefore did not need painting. Comparing the three sentinels side by side, I can see where my painting has improved over the years, so by the time the fourth sentinel is done there will be some other improvements (hopefully!).

Thanks for reading, and now to find that paint brush!

Scout Sentinel - Red Angel 1

Now that the Valkyrie is finished, I've got the tiem to finish off some scraps of projects that have been sitting around with only a few things left to be done. One of those projects is the three sentinels that I currently have. I did post some info about 2 of the sentinels a while ago here.

As with most of my projects all I had to do to finish the model off was apply a drybrush of Bleached Bone and seal it with matt varnish. So here are some pics of a scout (Cadian pattern) sentinel, callsign Red Angel 1.



The sentinel was painted with a basecoat of Dark Angels Green. The camo pattern is Goblin Green. I wanted something different on the side of the sentinel, rather than the using the supplied back pack, so I went for a fuel can instead - something for people to aim for. After taking these pics I noticed that I haven't drilled out the autocannon barrel, so thats something else I'll do.



The Red Angel emblem was made using a transfer from the Imperial Guard Tank transfers sheet and then a number from the Forgeworld Imperial Guard sheet. The interior of the sentinel was painted before the model was put together.

I plan to post the other two sentinels in the next few days, so watch this space. Thanks for reading!

So without further ado here are Red Angel 1 and 2 - simplest way of marking them so far. Red Angel 1 first. Sorry about the amount of random stuff in the pictures - haven't got round to reinstalling Photoshop since the Pc rebuild.
