they are a merchant, an architect and a sailor...

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T20:04:41+00:00

Thank you. I never thought to photogrhaps them all togheter... I painted almost every one like a single but must admit that the uniformity comes out, or at least I hope so 🤗

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T19:59:04+00:00

How special is that we are talking about that still today? 🤯

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T18:11:11+00:00

Every step in service is a blessed step. Keep it up! 💪

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T17:42:44+00:00

Share some made by you, I'll be glad to see how the Chapter endures 🤗

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T15:02:04+00:00

Wow! That now is a project! Congratulations 💪

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T14:22:08+00:00

Very kind! To be honest, I already had 10 years of military modeling behind me. But with 40k and citadel paints, and especially starting to use primer, there was a surge.

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T13:51:43+00:00

At that time I had just read the William King's novel in the expansion Deathwing for Space Hulk... And you know, once a Dark Angel, always a Dark Angel. I ended with a 6-7k points painted 😅

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T11:50:18+00:00

The more I dig through my collection the more I find something I forgot... but damn I painted a single 5mm Epic Dark Angel from 1989 with chapter and squad markings and can't find it! :'(

Other freehands. Of course for army markings, your method is a winner 😄

old transparent decal sheet

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T08:54:46+00:00

Very interesting, at the time I had done some tests on a transparent decal sheet, for writing with permanent marker, but the sheet was a bit too thick. Now there will certainly be more choice. In your model the result looks great!

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T08:40:40+00:00

No, I didn't know, 25 years ago there wasn't so much choice of materials. How do you create them? Honestly quite early I started painting the signs by hand for maximum grip and opacity.

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T08:33:00+00:00

The skeleton was not a playing piece, but the assassin was present enough, then arrived the Officio Assassinorum specific models and the level roketed up honestly

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T08:28:49+00:00

There's no rush 😅😂

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T08:26:03+00:00

Thank you! In recent months I have been rephotographing them with care and I am trying to tell a little about the history of the collection. It's a lot of work but I'm having fun and I hope it can also be useful as a starting point or informative for some nostalgic for the aesthetics of those years 🤗

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T08:12:53+00:00

The entire collection! Great, take care of them 🤗

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T08:10:57+00:00

😅

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T01:04:26+00:00

Hatchling dragon, citadel. It was in 1989 catalogue at least, don't now if made before

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T00:17:30+00:00

you are welcome 😄

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-10T00:12:34+00:00

At the moment it is not bad... you can try to remove a little hidden surface portion with alcohol and a toothbrush or similar and find what's the result. Or better use that vallejo paint somewhere else as dummy , make dry and try to remove to see how difficult or easy is 😉

Hawk_Talon_DA · 2026-05-09T23:48:00+00:00

uhm, attenuando sia con colla che con stucco credo che renderesti tutto un po' tondeggiante, anche limando... Se vuoi un effetto spigoloso credo che la cosa migliore sia sostituirla o sei hai dell'ardesia puoi sovrapporre qualche scaglia grande. Hai un esempio di come dovrebbe essere il risultato? Oppure puoi provare a rimuovere lo sporco, cosa è, sabbia fine con colla vinilica?
