I actually love how"scratchy" the gold leaf texture is, it makes you really think the outer layer was actually furbished in real gold alloy.

[@BeKindToBirds]

In fairness, it is. Probably thicker than reality also if you consider the thickness of the leaf vs the size of the model in scale

[@friedaiceborn1663]

according to the lore Custodes gear is made from a material called auramite, which is naturally gold through and through. (nerd emoji)

[@mixererunio1757]

Incredible. That's the best Warhammer 40k model I've ever seen. You truly made the Emperor proud!

[@douglascampbell9809]

It's really good but in the 36 years I've played the game I have seen some truly mind blowing miniatures and vehicles. The top for me was a 5 ft/ 1.5 meter scratch built Warlord Titan. The brass cascading out of the gatling blaster was spent 7.62NATO rifle cartridges on clear monofilament line. The power fist held a limp chaos warhound titan by it's head. Now it's super hard to find pics of it on the web since this was something like 20 years ago on the Dakkadakka forums.

Hot damn, this model went from a 3 to a 10 real fast. PLASMO got that touch man. At this point, i'm firmly convinced that even if we'd throw the most garbage of kits out there at him, he'd still make a 10/10 out of it.

[@martindione386]

David has the golden touch hehe

[@televisionone4177]

Lovely build!! Quick warning just in case you weren’t aware or for others looking to use LiPo batteries; LiPo batteries can swell over time even when not in use. If the battery is left inside the model over the long term it may at best physically damage the model, or worse it may puncture and cause a fire. I think it would be worth removing the LiPo when you aren’t planning on looking at the lights, or perhaps swap it for a different battery with a chemistry that’s more suited to longer life in a confined space. Love your vids as always!! Your works always blow me away and inspire me to try new things with my model kits!!

[@AsbestosMuffins]

probably could have fit a coin cell in there for the amount of power

[@DrowSorcerer]

And when no one expected it, Plasmo came by and casually left all both loyalists and heretics to shame. What an astonishing work

[@Gastinio]

This is a Land Raider right out of 3rd Edition lore, I think it has so much spirit of John Blanches‘ art… it is truly what WH40K is all about.

It is amazing that GW still gets away with charging top dollar for almost quarter century old kit

[@bugler75]

I totally agree. Especially as there are so many alternatives to Warhammer now!

[@Thornbeard]

@@bugler75 there have always been alternatives. Even ones with better quality sculpts but GW is inevitably always top dog for a reason, its the setting that the game is in that sells. Not the rules.

[@bugler75]

@@Thornbeard Yes I agree, I remember queuing for the first Rhino’s to be released! More years ago than I care to remember! It’s the wide range with the background story , all the books etc. Plus the stores too. I don’t play GW anymore but their paint, brushes etc are good and convenient. Each time I go there is a great atmosphere and very welcoming when I stop to watch a game. Like you say , it’s not particularly the game but everything else that surrounds GW. Fair play to them, they’ve kept the brand going all these years. Too expensive though! 😂

[@oiytd5wugho]

@@Thornbeard Eh, I'd chalk it up to inertia. If you wanna play a wargame you're not convincing everyone to switch to a new game, you're playing warhammer again

[@stopmotionking241]

@@kalzhae I’d say it counts, people that want their tables to be 100% lore accurate paint make it so boring IMO. Like warhammer is mainly about creativity with painting and scratch building, and then you get a host that will kick you off the table because “the paint isn’t correct”.

[@rogthepirate4593]

@@kalzhae Wrong. The nice thing about tabletop in general, including 40k, is that whatever you agree on as valid is valid. It's your model, it's your army, and nobody gets to tell you how to paint it.

[@townwitchdoctor5538]

When doing heat tint I wouldn't use red. You might find reddish hues but true red would be such a narrow band of temperature there wouldn't be enough to really see. Straw yellow to brown would be the biggest band at 200°-270°c, through purple to blue at 290°c, over 300°c is a matte greenish grey to grey. Stainless shifts those numbers up by maybe 100°c. When I saw the thumbnail I was expecting some sort of gold paint, the gold leaf caught me totally off guard. Really cool model, nice to see 40k models getting some in depth attention.
