LunchBox Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Great work LunchBox - I will some day try and emulate your work as it has a lovely quality to it. My personal favourites are the Salamander and the Thousand Sons. One question - do you paint the entire armour and then add a wash to the whole area to give it depth or do you do paint one armoured part at a time? I'm just curious how you get such depth from a white undercoat. Thanks! I paint pieces at a time...I always start with the face, then the center mass, then the legs, then the arms. HERE is a link to the tutorial mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Updatage: More work on the Salamander...the main part of the model is nearly done. I've had to do a lot of work on the arms and weapon, but I should be starting those this weekend. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/salliewip3-1.jpg Also, more on this guy: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/eswip1b-1.jpg The symbol is an olive colored Crimson Fist logo with lightning bolts. My new chapter will be call the "Emperor's Storm". The Marines therein will be to a display quality, but not competition. The goal is to speed up my use of the wet pallete, and so far it's working pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayfarer Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 You are going to have one very impressive army once it's finished. I always look forward to your updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacton Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I really want to not just do the whole "Woah, awesome!" thing, but it's really hard, Lunchbox, cos your work is really so inspiring. What I really find amazing is the use of "unlikely" colours to make your shades and highlights work. I really need to try more of this too. Fantastic work, and (belated) congrats on your performance at GD too :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikemike Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 They are very nice! I like the idea of your new chapter. olive colored fist is nice man~ It comes out pretty good really! If you are doing an army, I suggest you buy the fist shoulder pad for them. I think it will much faster than freehand in my opinion. The thing I would properly like the most on the Salamander guy is the flame on his leg pad. it is cool and amazing. Wait to see your works again :ph34r: oh, by the way, I really like the dark green color on your marine's bolter. May I ask you for the recipe of it? Thanks a lot! Anyway, look forward to see your work Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindhamster Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 do you edge highlight on your models? some parts look like you do, while i know from your tut that often you simply make it 'look like' you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 One question, what colours did you use to shade the blue on the ultras in this thread? OK...if my memory serves me correctly: Aurelius - I started with RMS True Blue, then shaded with VMC Flat Blue, then RMS Saphire Blue, then VMC Dark Prussian Blue, then RMS Nightshade Purple. Highlights were RMS Sky Blue, then RPP (Reaper Pro Paint) Pegasus Blue, then GW Space Wolf Gray, and finally RMS Ghost White. UltraMarine Honor Guard - I started with RMS Ashen Blue, then shaded with RMS Templar Blue, then RMS Breonne Blue, then RMS Walnut Brown. The highlights were RMS Deep Ocean, then RMS True Blue, then RMS Sky Blue, then RPP Pegasus Blue, and finally GW Space Wolf Gray. oh, by the way, I really like the dark green color on your marine's bolter. May I ask you for the recipe of it? Thanks a lot! Green Bolter - RPP Ghoul Gray base, then shaded with P3 Thornwood Green...RMS Red Brick for a nuance color, then shaded with RMS Walnut Brown. I built it back up with GW Catachan Green, more RPP Ghoul Gray, then RMS Olive Green, then RMS Pale Green, then finished off with RPP Orc Flesh. do you edge highlight on your models? some parts look like you do, while i know from your tut that often you simply make it 'look like' you do. I thinnly edge highlight on sharper areas of reflection, but most of it is due to dragging the highlight colors toward the highlighted edge.

Wolf89 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I've always loved your stuff, it's just amazing. That salamander guy is just phenominal, I'm in love with his thunder hammer. ;) Keep up the amazing work, hope you win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAR Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Looking brilliant Lunchbox. Very nice stuff. I am curious as to whether or nor you have decied which GD you plan to go to next year. I would love to see your stuff " live and in concert"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick O))) Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Am I right that the salamander is down 1 arm ;) Outstanding as always :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 I doubt I'll get to a Demon comp this year...but if I do, it'll be Chicago as usual. The Sallie is short an arm...I didn't think anyone would notice. Ok...actually, to paint this model, it has to be fitted, pieced out, and the pieces painted separately. I'm working on the right arm this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiplash Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 yeah i second that the bolter sight is amazing and the veteran sargeant looks so real, the base looks good but not as real as the sargeant itself in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanan Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 wow! your Marines look so life-like and vibrant and you paint with so much precision. one day i would like to paint like that. you are an inspiration sir, i salute you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graypaint Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Just seeing how light you start off with the glazing on their armor compared to how dark the finished ones are blows my mind. You have patience in bounds. I would have liked to see the stuff you did on their shoulder pads, but really smooth work on the armor, I imagine it's even more striking in person.

Shadow Nugz Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 As usual I am insanely jealous of your work. Even your Chaplain that you speed painted (6 hours shouldn't qualify) would be a master piece for me and I could bring it to my Hobby Shop and have it displayed. You are possibly one of the greatest painters ever. Any chance for a tutorial of how you paint a guy? Like layer to layer? Also good job at Golden Daemon. How many trophies have you won now? I saw your stuff on the GW site and I knew immediately who painted it. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Sensei Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Very crisp and readable and a good choice of colours (I even like your NMM ! Ack, I'm perverted !!!). Your army will be a real must, frater. Thx for sharing. DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
