Classic Catachan Hellhound completed
Back in February, I spotted a classic 1995 Imperial Guard Hellhound on sale on eBay for only £20 which I snapped up immediately. Who could resist a bargain like that? Not me anyway...
I built the tank pretty much as soon as it arrived but, as I was in a tank building mood, I carried on building all the others I had so I could back undercoat them all in one go with a Caliban Green spray. With all the camo still to do though, I thought I might treat myself to an airbrush to make things easier. It took me a little while to save up for one but once it arrived, I thought I'd give this Hellhound a try first just try try to work out what I was doing with it. It came out pretty okay I thought - and after doing the metals, the recess shading and dryrushing it was looking much better. I spent today detailing the tank, putting on the decals and giving it a varnish.
I'm very happy with the result and I'm looking forward to doing the same with the rest of my tanks - the airbrush should help me crack on with all of them now.
