kraegus Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 it's been more than a few years since I last painted anything much, and I'm not exactly brilliant, so I think it's about time I teach myself how to paint :) I would love your help and input, I figured I'd work on a test piece to get the gears going. base first, for practice, then some random hacked up mini in the bits box :) this is an old base I dug up and worked on for a bit.. left side is mostly done, haven't really started on the right side.. let's see how far I get :) http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4011/5141413041_d8fd71f128_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallvictory Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Very nice teaser, I love the broken Chaos symbol from the vehicle sprue. Seeing some smooth painting there, I really like the weathering, that red lettering looks almost like it was stamped on, how did you achieve that?

kraegus Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 the red lettering was painted with a size 0 brush, gently stroking in the letters with yellow, then a bit of orange, then red, and a bit of black to bring out some edges. a bit more done: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1243/5142221424_b1a5915704_o.jpg i'm a bit stuck on how to proceed with the star. gold? silver? nmm? metallic? ideas would be nice. in the meantime i'm going to finish the rubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortsonfire79 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Sigh...you haven't painted in years. You come back, and WHAM! You already paint loads better than I...sigh... But it looks great. The eye is fantastic. I'd love to see your work back from the olden days :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 this was the last time I painted a full model, http://www.coolminiornot.com/96864 it's been a very long time, I did that 5 years ago I guess, okay, slapped on some NMM as suggested....i've never done nmm before, so forgive any errors http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1114/5141800745_8b368daa07_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 i think i'll go with green.. sorry for the length of this update, I spent 4 hours painting a bit of freehand on the side of the leg, followed with the decision I didn't like it much, so I'm going to reverse my usual order and paint the figure colours first, then worry about freehand. please keep in mind I'm just making this up as I go along, but be as harsh as you'd like! (base is mostly finished, barring the vertical red bit, and the only part of the figure done for now is the green panel.) http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1382/5145092982_21241643c6_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 He's looking like your on a good start! ;) And yeah I pop in every once in awhile. I generally stick to the International Brotherhood of Hobbyist thread, but when I see familiar faces around the WIP I'll usually comment! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
