Virtus quod Veneratio Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 First post, hi everyone. I tend to paint too neat and tidy, so for this project I decided to do the opposite. Did a heavy blue wash over a sprayed on basecoat, over black primer. Wiped the wash with a wet brush while it was tacky, leaving most of it in the recesses and corners. Rewash, and corner highlight. Added some weathering here and there (which I had never tried before). Pretty happy with the results. What do you think ? http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz93/jesse_sr20/40K%20Pics/landraiders001.jpg http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz93/jesse_sr20/40K%20Pics/landraiders004.jpg http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz93/jesse_sr20/40K%20Pics/landraiders008.jpg http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz93/jesse_sr20/40K%20Pics/landraiders009.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184571-land-raider-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 some very nice results! I should try that sometime! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184571-land-raider-wip/#findComment-2181749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtus quod Veneratio Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 At first it's a little scary. The contrast is really stark, and jagged. But with the follow up wash it'll even out. The major down side..., you can't exactly touch it up later. I did rust and weathering on a few spots that I got red onto. Didn't notice there was paint on my finger. lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184571-land-raider-wip/#findComment-2181753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtus quod Veneratio Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 when you say it was a basecoat spray, was it sprayed with an airbrush? No, I actually used this... http://www.wooddigest.com/images/article/1187890893960_FinishersChoice03.jpg And I used applebarrel paint no less (for the base coat only). I would do it differently if I had to do it again. I have an airbrush, but no compressor yet.

Gerrie Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Nice work but I think you should use some heavier shading on a couple of places, for example between the plating.

kraegus Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 excellent. it looks very neat and clean. the eagle on the front entrance looks particularly good. my only question is regarding the blue, perhaps it's personal taste, but the blue is outrageously clean everywhere else, I'm wondering if a very small touch of rust might improve it a bit. it's too late to do now, but there's an excellent tutorial for rust at this website: http://thepaintingcorps.blogspot.com/2009/...-hairspray.html just to keep in mind for the future ;) well done!

I agree. But like I mentioned, I usually paint very clean colors. I've been painting SM since 2nd edition. The style and "look" of ultramarines has changed quite considerably. Back in the day it was all about white undercoats, and bright yellow and orange shoulder bands. Now it's all black undercoats, dark foundations, dark dry brushes and washes. Example- (he's a bit dusty) http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz93/jesse_sr20/banner001.jpg I paint old school.

kraegus Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 fair enough :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184571-land-raider-wip/#findComment-2182856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtus quod Veneratio Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 The trick now becomes how to merge the newer style with the old. I like the new look, but I have 1500 points of the old. I'll have to meld them in a way that fits me I guess. This is all table top stuff though, so I can't sweat the details too much.
