scruff Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 First of a series of HQ choices using the masters of the chapter box set. http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1520.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1521.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/DSCF1522.jpg next up is a librarian which I'll be putting up on the WIP board in a bit.

Zeller Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 That is a nice peice. The conversion work is seamless and the model looks great. Why does the wax on the parchment look so...waxy? I like the way the power plant is painted. Is it mithrill with a wash or boltgun with a wash? Is your flesh tone a single color or a blend?

Shaun Carlin Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I like this nice clean paint job with tidy highlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I saw the WIP and loved this mini, it looks production quality and was being really well painted... seeing it finished makes me wish I could paint this well, and as I said in your WIP thread, it's making me want to dig out my masters of the shapter and do something with them :). Can't wait to see what you do with a librarian. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcrafter Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Damn! I was thinking of making my first captain almost exactly like that (only I would have kept his storm shield thus arming him with a RB and SH) Anyway great job man <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timotheus Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Very nice job!!! The Gold is ace, how do you paint it? Also the bone-scheme on the Crux and the wings is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Very nice, normally when I comment in these forums it's with constructive critism, but...... well there's just nothing wrong with it :tu: Wait a minute, the join where his hand meets the helmet looks a little off. (Yes, that really is the only thing I can think of to criticize) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruff Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Thanks to everyone for the comments you've left, the good feedback is greatly appreciated. Very nice job!!!The Gold is ace, how do you paint it? Also the bone-scheme on the Crux and the wings is awesome! The gold is painted quite simply with nothing too exciting or risque about it. Start with scorched brown, probably take a couple of thin coats to get an even covering First metallic coat with tin bitz Use brazen brass leaving tin bitz in the recesses and around rivets, might need a couple of coats again here Highlight the edges and raised areas with shining gold Mix a tiny bit of black in with some scorched brown and water it down like hell, use like a wash to pull the colours together and help with a bit of shading Rehighlight the extreme edges with shining gold. Hope that's helpful and it's pretty quick and easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
