THE FATED FITH Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Okays i Haven't posted in a while so... I decided to do a few touch ups on my captain - repainting the cape changing the sword a few highlights here and there etc...

grim0thy Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 You've got some good skills, but your paint application needs work. It's all too thick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE FATED FITH Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yeh you do have a very good point Personally i think the red is ok...But the white is terrible, especially on the helmet and cape... It does look slightly better in person (clean wise) I have only really been into the hobby for under 12 months and only really started to paint and collect about 6 months ago so... I really need to learn...ALOT! Thanks very much for the point in the right direction. much appriciated T.f.f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 That's a cool looking captain. That red is nice and rich which is a good thing for Blood Ravens. All in all good use of the Sicarius model. With the white, one way of doing it is to work up from grey, I've used the lightest of the foundation paint greys and worked up from there and you'll get to white in no time. Just make sure you thin it with some water and build it up slowly. It takes a while but it'll be worth it. Hope that helps in anyway. Brother Duncs.

Kuchinawa Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I spy one Ultra U on his belt but all in all a good model. for your white I'd go Foundation battle grey Fortress Grey 1:1 Fort Grey and Skull White White Thin layers save the day Again, Nice job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE FATED FITH Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 I can spy 3 ;) well it's infront of me so... Nahh i decided to keep the ones on the hips on i think they are quite cool The U on his groing protector chain thingymabob... i had no g.s so i left it :) Thanks for the comments so far! In general i guess it's thinner layers, more layers, spend more time on the model. Thanks for the C&C T.f.f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
