ExuroinAbyssus Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Try to paint first of all a rectangle as the actual head of the hammer. After that paint a thinner, squatter rectangle underneath. Have the top one horizontal, and the bottom one vertical. Go back to the top one and round off the corners and your pretty much done. Try this out on some scrap paper or something first though so you know how it'll look on the model. Good Luck.

Token Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Sorry, i don't really get it..

nurglespuss Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hi there, free hand isnt easy for everyone, and just needs plenty of practice. However, another method to try, is the magic tape stencil, especially as this is a simple geometric shape. http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs229.snc1/7617_310511770322_633810322_9141892_5280626_n.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182935-painting-a-thors-hammer/#findComment-2163911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks for the picutre, but i'm not sure the hammer is supposed to make a T.. Do you cut out a hammer out of paper, or hwo do you do that "magic tape stencil" stuff? Don't know what that is..

nurglespuss Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Ok... Magic Tape: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Tape Either A. carefully draw on your deisgn onto magic tape, carefully cut out, and use as a stencil B. if your design is geometric (as yours is) then after you have applied the base coats to your sholder pat, use the tape to make the outlines of your image, and fill in the middle open area with paint.

Token Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks. What colors would make it easy recognizable as a thorshammer? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182935-painting-a-thors-hammer/#findComment-2164022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Noone has any tips on coloring making the hammer recognizable? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182935-painting-a-thors-hammer/#findComment-2164496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbaron997 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Maybe a grey with light blue on the edges to represent it being electrically charged? Remember though its a short handled Hammer, so no 2 handed thunder hammer type models.
