Skirax Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The 6 Nations are Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy. Unfortunately no Australia, they're in the Tri Nations and 12 Nations, and of course the World Cup :D. If I haven't mentioned this before, I would very much like a tutorial on how you do your mud stains, I'm looking to dirty up my Wolves :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Very nice mud effects. But number 10? Really? With a strong handoff like that he should be in the pack, thats where the cool kids are B) ID Number 10 is because of Johnny Wilkinson - one of the highest points scorers of all time. Is Australia in the 6 Nations? If so, do an Aussie one! England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy are in the 6 Nations.

If I haven't mentioned this before, I would very much like a tutorial on how you do your mud stains, I'm looking to dirty up my Wolves :) One tutorial coming up. It's extremely simple to do. Tools/paints needed: An old brush - don't use a new one otherwise you will ruin it. I used an artists No.8 flatbrush. A light brown such as Khemri Brown Dark Angel Green Gryphonne Sepia Just use the very tip of the brush and dip into the Khemri Brown. Wipe off nearly all of the paint onto a piece of kitchen paper. You need to rough up the bristles at the same time. Stipple the brush onto the surface of the model with a jabbing motion - you can add more or less paint to vary the effect. Repeat with the green, but allow the paint to overlap onto other parts of the armour - this allows for a more visable grass stain. Use the Gryphonne Sepia to add some depth of colour. This also allows you to blend the brown and green together a little too. Hope that helps. On a Space Wolves note, I think I might have to look at thier range for a head to represent Le Chabal.

jlmb_123 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 That is absolutely top drawer, man (unlike Skiraz's weekends, which appear to be top shelf!). Are you thinking of doing the other nations, or would they dirty up your display shelf? Not to mention, y'know, being more interesting to watch ... I mean, look at ... ;) For your rose, these aren't perfect, but here's some rose transfers and the store they're from. Perhaps we could get the mods to set up a competition for converted rugby & American football models, which I'm certain's been done before. Let me just put this in bold, ahem: It could be called the Blood Bowl-ter. Oh. Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the other Nations will be a later addition - need to find some other parts for them (like Le Chabals head) After the comments made a couple of weekends back during the Italy match, I think an Italian Marine holding a mug of Cappucino is looking good ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlmb_123 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 You just gave me an awful impression of the stereotyped British man in Family Guy. The top drawer/top shelf thing referred to 'top drawer' as in 'really good', and top shelf regards this: Very dirty, reminds me of my weekends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lestat Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 30-17 ring a bell anyone? Anyway, back on topic - I've just ordered some bitz for a couple more Rugby inspired conversions. I found the perfect head for a La Chabal inspired Marine. I think I have a Dwarf tankard in my bits box for the Italian Marine on his cappucino break.
