YakComp 51 - I Believe I Can Fly!

[Fold]

Parts blended together - I tried to blend the G/S into the plastic as best as possible and overcoated it with a layer of sprue solution, but you never know how good the job is until it’s primed.

The other addition has been some hair (some from a warcry part and some from GS).

I’ll start painting tomorrow if the weather holds for priming.

“I believe YOU can fly!”

Might have a second entry to offer apart from the plane - finally got the wings on all three Realm of Chaos harpies.

And the plane has most of its camo scheme done, looking crap like most half-painted model planes do:

I will enter this with a chaos champion of Slaanesh who rolled up levitate in the realm of chaos slaves to darkness book.

Kit bash I'd say is done

What is that “stronghold”? Judging by the bottle, I’m guessing it’s like zap-a-gap or gorilla gel?

Just a cheap super glue that cones with activator spray, think I got it from amazon very good stuff for fiddly buts you need stuck with a bit of wiggle time before spraying the activator

 

[Punktaku]

Doesn’t count as I started this a couple months ago for Realm of Chaos. But I’ve gained inspiration from the Comp, so maybe someone will get some encouragement too.

You could totally pick it up and keep working on it for this competition


Meanwhile, my intention was to start greenstuffing my Rat-Launcher, but I ended up just playing with blutac for hours on end, and somehow a Winged Stimmer appeared…

Here's my finish entry for the comp, Gretchen Wachter, who 100% believes she can fly.

I know I'm early, but I wanted to clear this off my list for Aprils FYSC as well, so I based her last night, finally finding a use for some blue tinged grass tufts which when placed close to the ghostly emanations do a decent job of looking like a ghostly light is filtering through the grass. Despite applying about 10 thin layers for the robes, the blends are still a bit rough and ready, but this is the best I can do (with my limited patience)!

Those black and white shots look like they're from a movie!

Tonight's painting session update, base coats prettymuch done, thinking leopard print or something on the hull?

Bit more painty progress today, still haven't committed to leopard print

I've always wanted to make one of these flying tree skull things. Is flying terrain an acceptable entry

 

[Tiny]

If its flying or attempting to fly its fair game IMO.

 

[Fold]

Can’t wait to see it personally. What a cool concept!

 

[Scavvierising]

Flying tree skull thingy. The skull I bought as pat of a Halloween decoration last year as I knew it might finally be time to make this as I'm doing a RoC warband. Wire coat hanger that will hold it up and be covered in oozing blood to cover it up. The branches are off the citadel trees. A trip down to Hobbycraft tomorrow should yield some florists wire for the roots and some hot glue to get it all together.
Also my champion of Slaanesh that is a dark elf. While it might not look like it/he/she is flying I have raised them up above their base. The aim is to add some coloured cotton wool or something. Most likely the stuff you get with bolt action vehicles from warlord games. To create some misty fog stuff about his feet so at first glance you don't notice they're hovering a few inches above the ground. Then you notice they are walking above the fog. I also rolled illusion of normality for this champion so myl levitation and other gifts need to look discrete. Luckily this mini exists because it also kinda fits face of a daemonette that could be mistaken for a mask and feathery hide that looks like part of the robes.
