About the possibility of it being a recast, if you can look at the model and it looks like an embarrassing garbage cast covered in mould lines squashed/bent details and barley fits together without needing a ton of filler it's probably safe to say it's a legit GW model.

Excellent work on the restoration and I do appreciate the generosity you give the former owners' creativity and skill level; everyone has to start somewhere. On this one I feel like so much effort was put into the restoration/yellow paint that the twin bolter arms were overlooked; perhaps simply because you didn't say what you did to them I felt like they were barely noticed. Something that might be helped on the next one would be adding some soot or blackening around the barrel; canonically it makes sense with the rocket-propelled ammunition and irl it checks out, since such a venerable and ancient dreadnought would never be allowed to rust; but if theres rust, then it would have dirty barrels as well. Armchair painter gripes aside, you still knocked this one out of the park and I'm happy to see a vintage model be given a second chance. Comment for the algorithm gods!

These would be great additions! I definitely was focused on the repairs and the yellow. Just the repairs took up most of my painting time, so I didn't even think about the casings or the guns much. The plan right now is to take this as a foundation and build an army off of it. Then I can add those extra details across an entire set of models :)

LAMENTERS! FOR THOSE WE CHERISH, WE DIE IN GLORY! Love lamenter representation, and your take and freehand is exceptional.

As someone currently working on their own Lamenters army, I loved this video! You definitely did the battle brother proud with the paintjob! I might also use that technique for my own dreadnoughts, when i get to them! Great work!

There are times when you do these videos when I think, I would have just played the thing as it was. This one looked so much better after you fixed it. I love the "damaged" look on 40K minis. The big pieces almost have to have damage. This is not a game where these armies are all shined up for parades. I rarely ever paint one that I make pristine.

It's amusing that I have the general opposite opinion - the worse the resin, the more likely it was Forgeworld. I don't do 40K anymore (outside of 2nd edition), but the recast stuff I saw in the local scene was always better than the 'proper' stuff...which is pretty sad.

Oh God! It's Lamentors! XD That's so on brand for being a sad abandoned model on Ebay that needs rescue. Poor little Lamentors Dread

Disagree. The new plastics are not better. More parts, more joins to get panels messed up. The resin dreads will always be superior. Nice to see it in better shape now. Shame you couldn't fix the elbow joints. How'd the Chapter symbol go? Freehand, or Transfer?

This is why I always soak my model bits in Simple Green for a few minutes, regardless of material, then give them a good scrub with dish soap and warm to hot water before doing much of anything. I tried Totally Awesome for sonic cleaner duty and it didn't do near as well as Simple Green does for me. BTW, Casey, how often do you change out the cleaning solution in your sonic cleaner? I need to try and practice the sponge chipping technique, because frankly? I suck at it!

@eBayMiniatureRescues

21 күн бұрын

Interesting, I've tried simple green and I've never found it to work as well in the sonic cleaner. I try to clean mine out every week, depending on how many models get run. It definitely works better when it's fresh! Sometimes I will run a model just to see if it still works and if it doesn't really do anything then I change it out, but if it's mostly working then I will just go with it and change it after, so I guess it does depend on how well things are going for each run.

Is LA's totally awesome a stripper that doesn't melt resin or does the sonic cleaner speed up the stripping fast enough to prevent melting?

@eBayMiniatureRescues

21 күн бұрын

LA's Totally Awesome is just a concentrated degreaser that is 99% water, so it's very safe on resin and plastic. It does cut through the paint very well though, and the sonic cleaner just speeds everything up and gets into the harder to reach areas to break up that paint. The only problem with this setup is that the sonic cleaner can get pretty warm, even without a proper heater, so resin can get bendy. Also good though since if you have a bent piece you can let it heat up and bend it back into place. But no melting or issues with resin otherwise:)

I would love this guy with my lamenters. hahahaha

Sir I have a quick question, how do I remove gorilla glue super glue without damaging my miniature?

I was today years old when I learned there was a super glue de-bonder! To the store!

I'm not sure shiny silver works with yellow, it should have been a darker gunmetal

feel like some of the details were weirdly ignored. like those big barrel amo belts. with the exposed rounds left base silver was meh. and the guns being so mono silver. detracts from the excellent detailing of the shoulder/free hand. even like the barrel holes left default silver is such a weird choice. like. at least paint them black to give the illusion of barrel holes. I firmly believe minis are like 1-2 focal points and then the basing. the shoulder/chapter freehanding, excellent, basing, well done, but "guns" are almost always a focal point. and they were left rather meh.

I don't see people bring this up oftern, but older forgeworld herasy stuff looks very rougth, especialy for the prices they charged. Thier newer casts look fine, not quite sure why, maybe mold overuse...? Anyway great repaint, looks incredable man!

Easiest way to tell if it's a recast is put it next to a known authentic FW Contemptor. If it's a bit smaller, it's a recast. I did grab a recast NL and SOH Contemptor after FW discontinued them to finish my Armies. They're smaller than my real ones.

Very true, and I still do that for a lot of my models. If you need to get models on the table for a game or whatever, then by all means, do what you have to do! I've been there too. The problem is, it eventually becomes an excuse to not improve your skill level and it's really one of the easiest things to help make your models look better right out of the gate.

Recast models are usually better than forgeworld models. Like, that's actually a pretty commonly accepted reality among the 30k fanbase. Chinese recasters tend to sell better products than FW. People would buy a model from FW, then have to complain about parts two to three times before finally getting sent a part that was actually a good cast. Meanwhile, recasters would only send good casts because they actually have quality control.
