The little bit of model work I did this weekend was on my Tau Devilfish. As I said, I bought it to use it with my Enforcers. Once my Deadzone Kickstarter stuff comes in, I'm going to have a ton of urban terrain and parts to build a landing pad. Problem is, there's no aircraft to land on it. So, I figured I'd just use a GW one. The Tau tanks look enough like aircraft, I figured I could get away with it. Last week I'd started painting it up. I had a tri-color splinter camo pattern on it. Unfortunately, I had to paint it by hand and I thought it looked really bad. My dad didn't seem to think it looked that bad, but I wasn't happy with it. So, on Saturday I repainted the whole thing and this time I used painter's masking tape to block off the camo pattern. The results were way better. Though, this time I stuck to just the base color and a darker color for the splinters. Tonight I got the markings done and painted the engings. So, now it's all done and ready for a spray sealant. Well, that and I need GW to hurry up and send that missing drone sprue.
It's a little hard to see, but here's the nose art I gave it. I wish I had something more traditional, but this was the only one I had that actually fit. Well, it was either this, a boar, or a crude looking skull. This one gives it a tad bit of color, which I wanted, so that's why I chose it.
You can also see I got the viewports all painted up. I'm not sure if I should do anything with the chin gun or those little antennae fins though.
