lord_bunny Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I feel bad now... nah its rather good, is a bit static on the one leg. Try giving the white a really weak black wash, it will really shade it :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutteman Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks guys, and I'll be giving that weak black wash a try. Tried it on other models but need to muster motivation to do it with this one. To be honest it was one of my Conversions were I thought, This is a great idea....four hours of work later...Do I HAVE to paint it.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Humongous Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 A good wash followed by some highlighting will help that model a lot. Don't be afraid to make the wash pretty dark, and use a bit of color in it- I suggest a warmer color to offset the glare of all that white and give a feeling of "earthiness". You should almost NEVER use pure white on a model, and certainly not as a base paint layer- it leaves nowhere to highlight to! The wash should help bring out the details of the metalics on the gun as well. Its a flamer, so its not gonna be all shiney clean, not after use. The orc's weapons (especially the chainsword) could use similar teatment, if only to keep them from drawing the eye away from the dreadnaught as shiney objects tend to do. Once you tone down the base color and put on some highliths so the shape of details pop out a bit, try doing some battle wear. Paint chips (just a bit of silver metalics where paint would get chipped of, maybe with a touch of dark gray on the top edge) look great on white vehicles, and with all the kung fu he does, he'd get a lot of them. Dried mud (and maybe some flecks of gore) on his feat and the lower edges of the leg armor would work well too. And paint the base! You can't just glue down raw dirt- it doesn't look right "at scale". That means even dirt needs to get a dark shade and then some drybrushing. This also gives you a perfect chance to add that dried mud on the dread, since it lets you make the colors match. Scale painting is all about playing up the contrasts so that there's the same amount of detail for the eye to pick up as there would be on a full sized object. That model has some NICE detail, but by painting it flat, bright white it looks (at a distance) like a flat sheet of paper. Don't be afraid to make the shadows / low areas darker than they "should be", because you can't make the highlights any brighter than white (and probably should even slightly tint those). All that said, I like the model and base paint scheme- wouldn;t have bothered with all that typing if I didn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scythe of vengence Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Venerable battle brother Jet Li? That's an awesome conversion :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 What will happen when Chuck Norris dies! Awesome conversion. Paint job isn't going to win any Golden Demons but a) it hard to paint white and b ) neither can mine, or most peoples! Will we be seeing anymore, kung fu konversions?

Tutteman Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 MORE! YOU WANT MORE! Maybe :( That said I do have a conversion planned of a marine hanging onto a Sentinel punching his way through into the cockpit. :lol: Anyone wants to do a good version of that is welcome. Anyway, thanks for the mini tutorial on how to improve paint job Lord H :D That should help be a few thousand percent. Thanks for all the nice stuff everyone's said about conversion and thanks for all the tips for paint job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapter master 454 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 'foolish xenos, have you never watched kung fu movies? the old men always kick ass with kung fu and I'm 100 times older!' Nice conversion, however I feel more could of been done with a venerable hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperator Mos Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Definately need to wash/shade this model. The paint is much too thick to begin with. Also, paint the base. All you need is a simple drybrush over the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeHarvey Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 That is pretty original. I've never seen a conversion quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 "Eat foot!"... or maybe "I have more awesome and win in this foot than in your whole codex!" :P lol very good, decent conversion there ;) Funny, I was thinking more Mortal Kombat than kung-fu. It's Shao Kahn in a Dread :P *Splat!* "That was Pathetic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
