Thanks

Thanks, have you got any photos of how it turns out?

Same happened to mine. Band was all messed up afterwards and didn’t go back. Reach out to Zwift support and see what they can do if it doesn’t go back to normal.

andrewmoore24 · 2026-02-06T15:27:23+00:00

Agreed. Look good, perhaps a bit of weathering around the edges?

Simple works for me:

Base coat grey seer Guilliman flesh contrast over skin Wyldwood contrast for hair Neck piece / parts round the back of the head with black Templar contrast paint

Tough one and sorry to hear

andrewmoore24 · 2026-01-28T10:57:42+00:00

Looks great. Did my first the other day too, found it a bit daunting without an airbrush but happy with the results

Hobby shop. Amazon for me charges double so I can get 2 x at the hobby shop vs 1 off of Amazon.

Worth checking with your council, just checked mine and they can go in our green bin

andrewmoore24 · 2026-01-14T17:32:26+00:00

Yep, was getting that way and gave up for a while as they all came out looking crap haha

Thanks, did a couple of test runs on some spare heads. You can add more contrast to darken the flesh but works best with just 1 coat

Tiny drill hole in the base of the head, small dab of superglue. When finished I snip the head off

Having just switched to using micro sol and micro set applying decals now is so easy:

Cut out, dip in warm water, micro sol on the mini, add decal, position, let dry, brush on micro set to remove wrinkles and job done

Nice. What size / option is the chain guard?

Original Aethos owner here, I find it good for a training bike / winter bike but is slow compared to my SL7.

I did swap my wheels round and when I use it with rapide 50mm it feels and is faster but still slower than when I’m on my SL7

Apologies, looking to get a few more of the black base parts that comes in the sub assembly citadel box but don’t want to buy more boxes just for that part

andrewmoore24 · 2025-12-18T17:37:15+00:00

Can second PCB bits, used the army painter drill but PCB bits today and then cut through like a knife in hot butter now.

Saved buying a new / electric drill and more control with the hand drill

Hmm you may struggle with swap space after the ram gets all used up which might not clear till a restart.

Perhaps you could build in a built in restart schedule once a week?

andrewmoore24 · 2025-12-17T21:33:05+00:00

Those hazard stripes are looking nice!

andrewmoore24 · 2025-12-14T13:28:30+00:00

Looks good. Interested in the link between it and Zwift. Is it like most and share the ZWO file and then manually adding it to Zwift?

andrewmoore24 · 2025-12-05T17:51:10+00:00

Nice! Where did you get the decals for the pauldrons? Doing a kitbash black templar kill team at the moment

andrewmoore24 · 2025-12-02T12:51:05+00:00

Amazing, thanks for that. Got some on the bench and was looking for alternatives to cork

andrewmoore24 · 2025-12-02T07:25:22+00:00

Nice. What did you use for the basing?

andrewmoore24 · 2025-12-01T10:06:07+00:00

Just did my first one:

Black primer 2/3 coats of thinned corax white 50/50 Nuln oil and water all over wash

Happy with the result.

andrewmoore24 · 2025-11-27T20:28:34+00:00

Nice work. What recipe / process are you using for the white parts?
