Shatterboom Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Here is my Kor'sarro Khan which I just finished painting. White still gives me troubles, so if anyone has tips or tricks that they have found I would love to hear them http://coolminiornot.com/pics/pics14/img4bc25a0d676f5.jpg Below is a link to its Cool Mini or Not page if you wish to rate it.

MattCrawford Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I dunno, you seem to be painting your whites just fine :) If you want to be safe, you could always do another layer of SW, but I wouldn't mess with it.

Tropicana Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 As far as I understand, the best way to achieve a smooth, balanced white - not that I wouldn't say you had one there already - is to work up, in Layers, from a Blue-Grey Tone, which adds depth to the final White. I remember seeing one around the Tutorials Section yesterday; hold on, I'll go have a look for you. *Minutes Later* Well, it's not the one I had in mind, but there's an FAQ Topic on Painting White! Click 'FAQ Topic on Painting White' to go there, if that's of any help.

Shatterboom Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks for the replies and the info. For this white I started with white primer. Then I washed the model with a light wash of brown-red. After that I used some fortress gray + some white + a tiny tiny amount of the red I used for the wash for a base coat, leaving just some of the red in the seams of the model. Finally I did a couple light coats of pure white for the highlights.
