Hello everyone! I am a long time lurker and first time poster.

I just recently finished painted a Forgeworld Brass Scorpion for a friend and was really pleased with it and wanted to share it with all of ya'll. I had to make do with the camera I have and hopefully the pics come out ok.

Enjoy.

thats brilliant!!

That says it all.

 

When I first looked at it I thought the red was a bit messy and badly highlighted. But then I looked closer and noticed the dozens of skulls, AND I LOVED IT.

Mettalics are really nice, and the skulls are still bugging me, as in how the hell you did them.

 

Still, when I figure that out I'll probably be painting my own marines.

 

PS just noticed the blood on the claws, yet another great touch.

I painted the skulls by first airbrushing the layers onto the armor plates, then I went in and added the fine detail with a paint brush and then blended all the reds in. When I get a sec I will post some of the WIP shots that I took to show you what I mean.

 

Here are some pics from step one, they are just airbrushed on with a stencil that I drew onto a piece of cardstock and then cut out with an exacto.

Next I went in and did the detailing with a fine detail brush.

P.S. sorry for the pic quality on the WIP pics, but I didn't take too much time on them as I was just using them to update my friend on the progress.

Great job. :P

 

Those airbrush skulls are amazing, as is the reflections on the metal trim.

I wasn't even aware that you could make tiny details like that with an airbrush (+ a detail brush, but still).

 

Question, what is your recipe for the metal parts, e.g. the cabled sections?

 

A full-blown tutorial on how to achieve them skulls would also be very welcome! ;)
