Brother_Dan'l Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'm always impressed by IF armies like this. The paint job so exceeds the concept of a yellow marine. Really, really nice work. Though the Terminator doesn't seem as bright or as deep yellow as the Whirlwinds. Too much highlighting? Was the extra the "cheesecake" photo in the background? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsekay Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Yeah i think it was over highlighting, whats a cheesecake photo??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phal Brannon Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Those are some sweet IF's, the fact that you're really struggling to find a happy method of painting vehicles doesn't show cus the vindi's look awesome! great weathering and good touches of detail. keep us updated! ps. If thats you're GF in the pic well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damasos Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Very nice paint jobs! Mind if i ask your recipe for painting yellow? Purely for research purposes, you understand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsekay Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 The yellow is primed white, then 5 parts golden yellow to 1 part fiery orange,in 2 thinnish coats. highlightings just golden yellow with skull white, from more yellow progressing to more white obviously. blacklinings just black ink carefully put into recesses oh yeah and it is the missus lol, she kinda loves herself.....

Damasos Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Mixing fiery orange in, eh? Might it look blotchy in some places? How easy is it to keep it consistent? I ask this because i have trouble mixing colours for large areas... and then it dries up on the palette :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsekay Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 nah as its a 5-1 mix its only there to "golden" it up a bit as for dryingup, mix it faster and thin it more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damasos Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I do thin it! :pinch: Problem is i'm so slow that it dries up. Nevermind :P Drifting off-topic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormDragon Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 They are some mighty fine looking IFs you've got there. :pinch: I agree that the yellow on the whirlys does look deeper, but the termi captain still looks good. :P Any chance of getting some pics of the scouts and the marines?

Cypher441 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Always love seeing Imp fists painted well. They always look striking on the field and make a great looking change to the usual reduced tones and plain colours. I'm a happy chappy now. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 That army is looking ace, Brother :blush: The yellow on the Whirlwinds is stunning. I also have painted an IF vehicle or two, and I can safely say: you haven't lived until you airbrushed on your base coat :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cl4d Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Really nice minis yellow is my favorite color on SM. Hey what's that picture we see in the background ? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acunnon Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Firstly, I know how hard it is to get a good yellow. I think you did an exeptional job of it. Second, you have a box of three vindis. As in the apoc box of three vindis, I hate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liltom Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I have to say, those are the most wonderful vehicles I have ever seen. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolkenmann Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Damn beautiful work indeed, the vehicles look very clean an shiny. Like to have some more detail shots on those and, besides, of you girlfriend on the table looking a least as good as the vehicles. Nevermind.. just joke. Beatuiful girl, beuatiful models. Man, looks like you're have to be a lucky guy :P Greetings from fist to fist. Wolkenmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugrjunke7 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I love the paint job, when done right, that yellow and grey is frickin' amazing! It's one of the most stand-outish color schemes around. It's also very clean cut, and concise (which I like about marines) I do like them, amazing job, one day, I'll be able to paint this good... one day....
