cathar the great Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 They look blotchy because the primer was sprayed on too thick. As you can see, all the paint you apply to it will only make the effect worse. You do have a very clean painting style, so think your work could be really good if you strip them of paint and reprime them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 yeah i agree, its often better to do a lighter coat and spend the extra few minutes hand brushing the little missed areas.. I thought the pred would be difficult to paint well as it is much thicker than the dread, however taking into account the issues with the primer you did a good job on the blue. im sure ill get a close up over the weekend :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Lord Captain Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Errrrm they aren't the same models before and after... Are they meant to be? Also why are the bottom dates removed on the "after" photo's? Something fishy goin on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the bannery bit that is meant to have the name is not on the pred before and the dred suddenly has a searchlight on the painted one. Perhaps this is because of not being able to paint it well when it is already on the model? After all the pred has a dodgy track on both models :P so stop giving him a hard time.

Lestat Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 It definately looks like the "before" shots are actually "after" shots - there is blue paint left in the recesses where the black primer hasn't reached. It would have been better if you had stripped the models before you re-primed them. Now the primer is way too thick and will ruin the overall look of the model. Shame about that really.

Terrible_Trygon Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 The under-coated dread has a different sarcophagus plate, and icons glued onto it. Also the search light as pointed out. The under-coated predator has a different hatch, and all the icons have been pulled off, leaving 'scars' behind. The tracks are on differently to the painted one. The under-coated models are defiantly different to the painted models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scathainn Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 The legs are a different positon on the painted dread as well. Although keep in mind, it is theoretically possible that he may have just bought two new sets realizing his priming mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Nice! I like the relaxed pose of the dread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
