This week I finally tackle a model that I've had on my shelf for a good long while. This old resin Contemptor Dreadnought from Games Workshop, and possibly a reforge? I'm not sure, is in really rough shape. I tried my best to save it and I think it will be great to have in an army at some point. I am pretty fascinated by those old/new beaky marines, so this might just be the starting point! That being said, the plastic kits for these are far superior, and I will be on the lookout for those going forward. The Resin is just not great...

@albinonoodle5229 16 дней назад

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.

@leforestierdamien877 16 дней назад

your free hand is amazing. i had a ork model that had that level of damage with finecast, his leg had flashing and i found a part of the mold in his cape, so maybe it's one of the last produced before the mold was decomissioned :/

@eBayMiniatureRescues 15 дней назад

Thanks! When those Finecast molds go they really go, I've had more bad ones than good, unfortunately.

@mrblack5145 16 дней назад

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!

@luke7834 16 дней назад

I'm probably gonna have a go on the wife tonight, should I expect you to drop by and offer some tips?

@eBayMiniatureRescues 15 дней назад

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 :)

@robinblackmoor8732 15 дней назад

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.

@cerisekappes580 15 дней назад

@Xarl-VIII 16 дней назад

nah older forgeworld resin was nightmare fuel to build, i have the same model and mine had a lot of gate marks and flashing

@ReverendPONT 16 дней назад

My NL Contemptor was decent but my SOH one was a hot mess. Too much detail that had flashing all over it.

@aidan1R 16 дней назад

Ironically recasts I find have better quality in such cases, especially since theyre more than happy to replace bad casts

@eBayMiniatureRescues 15 дней назад

It's sad that this isn't a surprise, probably why they are killing off most of their resin models too. I've had a handful of alright resin minis from them, but most of them have been pretty terrible.

@oskar6661 15 дней назад

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.

@Ezri_is_real 16 дней назад

Just Laughed at the Lamenter being used as a tea strainer in your sonic cleaner. I have a coworker who used to come into meetings with her tea cup with hot water and a splash of milk and her tea strainer being dipped in and out until it’s the right color of milky brown… just like the video.

@eBayMiniatureRescues 15 дней назад

lol I tend to think about making tea when I grab a model out, like somehow the paint will come off and make the solution change color.

@Duneheart 16 дней назад

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?

@eBayMiniatureRescues 15 дней назад

I haven't worked on one of the new plastic models, but in general, I prefer the flexibility of plastic. To each their own of course. The freehand is going to be a different video, but it's coming together!! Lots of videos combined for that one :)

@MaskedRiderChris 16 дней назад

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 15 дней назад

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.

@DaveLife25 15 дней назад

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 15 дней назад

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:)

@AshleyBlackwater 13 дней назад

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!

@fuzzypat 16 дней назад

The problem with not deciding it is good enough and starting to paint is that you never get to play with the model.

@eBayMiniatureRescues 15 дней назад

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. Spending that extra 10 minutes to clean mold lines is something that you will never regret when all is said and done.

@ReverendPONT 16 дней назад

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.
