Fellblade - Basecoats and chipping - Part 4

Sons of Horus Green

After undercoating and pre-weathering everything got a good coat of gloss varnish, followed by AK Worn Effects.   Once you put paint on top of the Worn Effects you need to give it about 30-60 minutes for the paint to get tacky.  Then using brushes, water and an old tooth brush you can remove some of the paint - in my case reveal the undercoat in selected area.  If anyone wants to try this you must use the gloss varnish underneath, of you don't you'll burn the undercoat off too.

The joys of masking tape.

I've had a lot of success using chipping fluid and will be using it on this project.  I've been experimenting with pre-weathering to provide a range of textures that show through once the chips are applied.     The whole model was primed with Jenolite Primer Filler.  I've used it for some fdm prints and found it reasonable for the cost.  Then focusing on the tracks, steps and edges I used a very wet "drybrush" building up Rhinox Hide, Mournfang Brown and Wild Rider Red in progressively

Weathering

I've been exploring a more realistic grimdark style for my more recent projects.

Somnium adveho verus - A dream come true.

I've been focused on the Horus Heresy since before we had official rules, back in the distant darkness of the Black Books.  I set my sights on saving up for a Fellblade to be a nice centre piece model.  I almost had one twice but real life got in the way.   Fourteen years and two children later, I've finally got my hands on one!   I've worked for the same company since 2006 and I was pleasantly surprised to find out there's a long service award after twenty years.  I decided a Fellblad
