So far, based on nothing, you’ve accused me of:
1. Starting a thread to upstage Choppa
It's amazing how much attention some people pay to TD. Who is watching for model threads, and thinking, "this is a conspiracy!"
Apparently him. I don't even monitor for "I love Disney" threads to shite on them like that (to be fair, I don't monitor anything here.)

I've been called worse by better.
At least I own it. I'm a 56 year old aircraft mechanic with 37 years of maintaining multi-million dollar aircraft. As a hobby to relax I build plastic model kits of pretty much any subject.
I don't play d&d or anything like that anymore, but I did back in high school. I do read plenty of the Warhammer 40k books, as well as military history books on just about any subject and time frame.
As for Darth and one72 can y'all go shite in somebody else's thread please?

I greatly appreciate your model. I cast lead figurines (D&D, 30 years ago) and painted them as a kid, and you do splendid work. To get us back on track a bit. I actually wondered what it would sell for (I can't tell scale.)
Why do there seem to be so few Salamanders painters?

So just because YOU don’t remember means it doesn’t exist?
Get over yourself.

Yes and there is always the hairspray technique.
Spray sliver. Dry.
Spay hairspray.
Then spray that last color over the hairspray.
Then just needle away the top layer.
Silver layer remains.
Chipping made easy.

I think the lack of Salamanders comes from the lack of book/stories about that chapter, and the fact that the Ultramarines seem to be the favorite of games workshop. I almost made this dread a salamander dread with a flamer instead of the Gatling Cannon. I did buy some Salamander water slide decals and I have a set of space Marines that could very easily be made to be salamanders.
But first I have to build High Marshal Helbrecht and High Chaplain Grimaldus

I've been wanting to do the hairspray technique as well as the salt technique. For years I never weathered any of my models but now as I get older and bolder I'm going to try some different techniques. I want to buy a Japanese Tony and weather the crap out of it because the Japanese aircraft didn't have a primer coat and their paint did not stand up well to jungle climates.

Have you tried the sponge technique? That’s what I use. It’s easy to do, doesn’t take long at all, and it works pretty well.
