Baneblade - What Happened??

[@tilapiastew1]

In the grim darkness of the far attic, there is only war.

I love how it looks, if it was me I’d leave it alone other than pursing a small ammount of metal effects on the engine

[@HAZZZZZZZZZAAAA]

Fumes from the glue but also the old resin from back then. If it’s been in the loft, and if your loft is like the one at my parents house… that place goes through the extremes of hot and cold. Could even be the release agent and if you didn’t paint over the primer, could even be the old primer acting up

Fumes from the super glue 💯

[@Marshallo.o]

Im digging the old Baneblades self inflicted aged weathering, looks nice! As for whats caused it, it could be a chemical/gases in the resin leaking out slowly over the years. Could also be due to the cold having an impact on it?! Either way, i really like it and it could start a new trend of painting techniques. You know, build and paint a model black, leave it in the loft for 10 years and voila:)

That’s not a “Forgeworld Baneblade” it’s Maximilian Weisemann’s Lucius Pattern Baneblade; £15 more expensive than the original Mars Pattern and released in 2001. Several details are different across the model, from the extra heavy bolter to the absence of a mantlet on the demolisher cannon. My own is not showing any signs of the frost yours has, nor is my original Mars Pattern. The likelihood of it being cyanoacrylate is reduced (unless you used gallons of it); my suspicion is that it is acrylic. My first guess would be varnish over a base coat which hadn’t fully cured; but possibly just a funky can of chaos black.

That looks like a happy accident to me.

[@haskear2]

I agree looks like a tank that’s on a frosty cold battlefield

[@tremere40k]

those late 90's 2000's kits were still using the armorcast resin I feel

[@DominatorLegend]

I actually prefer the design of the old FW Baneblades over the GW ones. A lot of the details were given a more utilitarian look over GW's "put the gothic gimmick everywhere". The front headlights gives it away.

[@brad9336]

Yup that is what I grew up with mate Proper Forgeworld! They always had more of a realistic feel and was targeted at that specific audience audience that wanted that impression but as you said Gothic Gimmick everywhere!

[@killerkriegsman85]

Nice definitely looks like a re paint stream in that Idea bet you could do both quite effectively and fast if you wanted

[@adamfox1669]

Good stuff. Happy Christmas

[@Artybob101]

it does look like super glue frosting to me, is it stored with other more recently glued models? if so then it could be the glue setting on another model causing the frosting on this one. thats the only explanation that comes to my head.

[@DioBrando-jm7uf]

I want one of those old versions. Black Market Miniatures make them.

[@MightyGachiman]

BMM is almost FW price but well worth it, because it's way better quality than fw. They take the time to correct and fix the original's failures

[@Rottenflieger.]

Fantastic to finally have a vid on your Lucius Baneblade after all these years! It's amazing how basic the details were back then, especially parts like the skulls on the tracks. I've only seen the Mars pattern kit in person before and would say I think I prefer the Lucius as it seems to have a lot more greebley details on the hull rather than a lot of smooth panels. As far as Krieg go, the baneblade variants they are most known for using in the Imperial Armour books are the standard baneblade, shadowsword, and stormblade, as those were the main Forge World variants available at the time they were writing the Siege of Vraks trilogy.

[@hanztheenlightened4529]

It does look like gorilla glue frost, but it doesn't necessarily look bad.

[@jamesespinosa690]

My money is on it being the paint. The batches of paint that they sell has always had variable quality. Ive started to notice that some of my minis that i painted 3-5 years ago, all the washes i used from that peiod have slowly started to reactivate and bleed through the varnish (i believe).

[@stevenmcgrath5114]

Super glues imitt fumes over the period of time causing "crazing',, no worries, just repaint your Baneblade.

[@dakkaflakkaflame]

Sponging some weathering over the spots might be a quicker fix if you don't want to spend the time to fully repaint it.

[@NSGrendel]

It's just oxidation of the super glue. I suspect what you are seeing on the bottom is fingerprints when you had a very small amount of cyanoacrylate on your fingers. Even if not visible, it was enough over a long enough period of time.

[@The-Rowller]

Ive had dark green paint slowly frost over on my older kits. A clear coat fixed it.

[@baldeagle13x]

Resin bane blade looks great. Be a shame to paint over that finish.
