MEanBOb Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Wow, thats pretty good for under 2 hours. Nice and clean painting. My only real gripe is the random turquoise blots on the gold. They just seem sort of sloppy, like you accidentally splashed it onto the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_robez Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 because isn't gold but... ehm.. Cu and blue is CuS04! i'm sorry for the name.. i don't know english... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Copper and Copper Sulphate judging by your formulae Gotta love GCSE Chemistry! Very nice model btw very fast painting as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Great model. The weathering on the gold is pretty neat - might have to pinch that idea :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedwin183 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Oooooo Chemistry! FUN! I'm a chemistry minor as a pre-med. Gotta typically have CuO (Copper (II) Oxide) first before you get a nice turquoise like that and then it typically comes into contact with HSO4 or a combination of HCl and/or HNO3, but both of those either lean it more towards blue or more towards green. That's why old pennys typically have uneven discoloration all over them...different strengths/levels of organic acids in our skin. As for the model. I WISH I could paint that fast and have it look that good. I'd be a happy man if that's all it took for me to get tabletop quality. Great job. Keep up the chemistry!

It looks realistic. Maybe a tad more green in the turqoise would have made it even more realistic, but it looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Looks pretty fantastic and personally i like the oxidising look to it, although i would say a chaplain would take alot better care of his armour. otherwise, awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 @ Tedwin183 Dont you mean H2SO4 :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedwin183 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yes, yes I do. I'm sorry. It's H2SO4. Good catch on that one. Not sure what I was thinking there. You simply wouldn't get anything with HSO4-...possibly a saponified Cupric salt but not without some extreme temperature/pressure conditions. Not even positive that would do it... It'd be hard to even stabilize an HSO4- molecule... But I digress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargazer Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Just one small thought which I only just noticed is that you haven't drilled your barrels thi completely up to you but I'm sure many on these forums would say that you must just a small nitpick on an otherwise great model! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustermaker Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 because isn't gold but... ehm.. Cu and blue is CuS04! i'm sorry for the name.. i don't know english... Looks great, I can't believe you did that nice of a job in that short period of time! I also must say that I am happy to see that Chemistry has trancended the language barrier!
