stoopicus Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 It's not up to BulldogUK's level but it's not bad: http://stoopicus.com/lrr.jpg http://stoopicus.com/lrr_front.jpg http://stoopicus.com/lrr_gunner.jpg http://stoopicus.com/lrr_psycannons.jpg http://stoopicus.com/lrr_side.jpg That's all the natural room lighting, no flash. The metallic paint is Gunze Sangyo (Mr. Hobby) Super Titanium. Could have used some putty in the seams, but that ship has sailed at this point ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/197385-my-forge-world-lrr-finally-finished/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Nicely done, Only slight criticism is the red. It looks very orange and flat, that might be the lighting though. So ignore me.

Justicar Valius Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 How do you get the metallic paint so smooth and even! Do you airbrush? Many layers of very thin paint (I have to do thiss but it's so annoyingly long).

stoopicus Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Thanks everyone! Appreciate the kind words. Nicely done, Only slight criticism is the red. It looks very orange and flat, that might be the lighting though. So ignore me. Probably my lame lighting, it's GW blood red over a gryphonne sepia wash to muck it up a bit. How do you get the metallic paint so smooth and even! Do you airbrush? Many layers of very thin paint (I have to do thiss but it's so annoyingly long). Yep, airbrushed. The secret is to airbrush a thinned specialist supermetallic lacquer. These paints are basically highly toxic metal dust suspended in a lacquer base. Very bad for you but they look awesome. This one is Mr. Hobby Super Titanium. The canonical example of this is Alclad II Chrome. Check THIS out: http://www.alclad2.com/ALCLAD_plane1_b.html http://www.alclad2.com/ALCLAD_plane2_b.html It really does go on that smooth, too. Here's a Tau stealth suit I did (apologies for the bad pic): http://stoopicus.com/liquidmetal.jpg The airbrush is the critical part.

Brother_Kaelgrim Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Mr. Hobby is sold in the US as well I think, at least the glue is. I love the shiny metal, have you tried mixing anything with it in the airbrush? I ask as I'm doing a blue washed silver look for my army (Viva Metallica!) and would like to achieve the same effect with an airbrush without actually brushing on the wash. Is this color tintable? I guess thats what I'm asking. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/197385-my-forge-world-lrr-finally-finished/#findComment-2357535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozybonza Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Looks good, although I think some light blacklining on the recesses could really add some depth to the metalicness of it all.

stoopicus Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Tinting should work fine; a better method might be to airbrush thinned Tamiya Clear Blue over the lacquer as a second coat though. I think that's what the Gundam modelers do.
