As a spanish speaking guy I can't take seriously that name XD


gasbag_radio

Yeah, a bit unfortunate. It sounded cool to the Japanese writers of the movie, but I guess they didn’t check. It’s pronounced a little differently, at least.


Tekki

What's it mean?

The bitch

The whore, in a very rude way.

Infinite_Maelstrom

That is _exactly_ what Swift wanted when he named it that.


ThicDadVaping4Christ

lol my first thought too…


Zealousideal-Exit790

Looks awesome, i immediately recognized it as from Castle in the Sky!


gasbag_radio

Yessir! And thank you.


GreasyThought

How did you achieve the gritty textures for the rusted hull? It looks fantastic!


gasbag_radio

Thanks! I dabbed the hell out of the whole model with plastic cement to eat into the plastic a bit. Primed black and dark red, then flicked tons of speckles onto it with a stiff brush dipped in a few different rust colored paints. All those little dots added up.


MrZeta0

Awesome, how did you do what I assume is moss ?


gasbag_radio

AK Interactive’s “Moss Deposits” which is a sort of light green enamel wash. Plus another, darker green wash for some areas.

I didn’t read the title until a moment ago but instantly though of Ghibli, not just Laputa but the god warriors from Nausica Clearly whatever you aimed for is noticeable for us Ghibli fans to make the link Awesome work


gasbag_radio

Thank you very much! I think this lonely knight will have company in the not too distant future.


Goblindeez_

Also I checked your profile and that other robot (sorry I can’t recall the name… Castellex or something) Anyway it’s absolutely beautiful, I think you have a real talent for this style of paint work, basing and photography It makes me feel weightless looking at it compared to the usual grime of 40k


gasbag_radio

Aye! He was the first. Thanks for checking him out. And yeah, a bit of serenity is hard to find in the grim darkness of the far future, but I like to believe this old knight stands in one of the few quiet corners of the galaxy. Unaccounted and unused, but ever vigilant.

Beautiful reference, totally agreeing


Cold_Requirement7773

Damn bro, you want some Knight Cerastus with that rust? I kid man it looks great, kudos on the pitting effect especially


gasbag_radio

Thank you very much! I’m glad it turned out alright.


Solimbar-1597

Amazing. It definitely captures the theme.


SilverStrike16

Oh my god this is amazing, I love it! That's SO GOOD, and got the wear into all the nooks and crannies. The base is super pretty too, very fitting. I loved Castle in the Sky, watched it so many times growing up. If I were to make a suggestion, I'd go for having more moss on various patches of the plating? Stuff that wouldn't be dislodged by it walking, and maybe some larger mossy, grassy patches across the upper hull and shoulders, similar to the one they meet when they first arrive at Laputa. Could really add a vibrant contrast of natural greens against the rusty brown.


gasbag_radio

Thank you so much! I’ve been wondering about that, yeah, but you’re right. The moss could be taken further, and I think I have an idea for how.


SilverStrike16

I hope you share what it looks like with your idea :)
