Ashdown Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Ran out of DullCote so it's a bit glossier than I would like, but that is an easy fix. I also havent decided what I am going to write in the scrolls on the chest, so those are blank at the moment. But I hope you enjoy and as always; critiques, comments, and haters are always welcomed.

Motorbike Mike Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Exceptional work, brother. I'm working on something similar myself at the moment. How did you achieve the fantastic weathering? Motorbike Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashdown Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 How did you achieve the fantastic weathering? For the white, I looked at some real life weathered vehicles and saw lots of brown and sepia colors. So I took a spounge and used Charadon Granite. I then go over that with Panzer Aces Rust. Not to much though, once you get started youll see what you like etc... I then take my airbrush with a Sepia Ink slightly watered down with Pledge with Future and highlight with that. My biggest challange was getting the black to pop. I think it is the hardest color to show detail without looking to grey. Any ways I hope that helps and thanks for the positive comments.

Ash I'll bite -- how did you do the black? Also, why the Pledge future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Excellent looking dread brother. I love weathered models and yours is very well done. Have you considered adding some sort of "soot" or discoloration to the tops of the exhausts? They look a little too clean compared to the other weathered areas.

Ashdown Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'll bite -- how did you do the black? Also, why the Pledge future? First the Pledge with Future is an acrylic based varnish. So I use that to clear coat for applying inks etc... You can get 32oz for 3$ and will last you forever. Onto the black... I use the following colors: Testors flat black primer. Createx Black (Airbrush) Vallejo Panzer Grey Createx Transparent Grey Sepia Ink Base it in black, then re-base it in the createx black. This color is really shinny and lends well for applying highlights. I then lightly airbrush the panzer grey where I want my highlights. I usually just do a 90 degree zenthial lighting approach. I do the 90 degrees to keep everything consistent with my army. I dont want to field multiple pieces with multiple light sources. I then go over it again with the transparent, using it a bit more liberally in its application. Almost gives it a glazing effect. I then hit all the joints with the Sepia Ink. But keep this in mind I am using an airbrush which makes painting larger models a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Very, very nice. The weathering is very impressive. Do you have any other painted Templars. I'm sure we would all love to see them. Great work :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
