Colonel_ Logan Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Finished my new Epistolary! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/colonel_logan/SAM_1046_zps0c0e36f1.jpg A simple kitbash, i'm pretty happy with my blue in the flesh. Not quite certain if the bionic right arm has worked, it looks slightly over-extended, but I think its more the left arm is pretty short! The blue has some shading and depth i'm very pleased with...hasn't come across in the photo at all, oh well haven't quite got the hang of the makeshift lightbox yet.

Kierdale Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Very nice! How about some lighter blue highlights on the axe blade? To differentiate the colour more from the blue of his armour...and make it look sharper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Librarians axe is supposed to look like the Captain's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_ Logan Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Okay, so in response to advice given to me on the previous page I am trying to improve my black recipe First I tried (I think) a purple wash on the black before highlighting as normal. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/colonel_logan/SAM_1055_zpsd5d5318e.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/colonel_logan/SAM_1056_zpsfef3481e.jpg Today I have tried another recipe Chaos Black spray > Chaos Black touch up> Very Broad highlight with a mixture of Chaos Black and Vallejo Heavy Charcoal > was with nuln Oil > edge highlight with Mechanicus Standard Grey http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/colonel_logan/SAM_1054_zpsdcd84dd3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/colonel_logan/SAM_1053_zpsec1722a5.jpg I also used a different light for the lightbox, I think it was more successful.

Colonel_ Logan Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Okay, finished up the Veteran bolter guy above http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/colonel_logan/SAM_1057_zps94d3da8d.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/colonel_logan/SAM_1058_zps03099eb1.jpg and painted this guy up so quickly from assembly that I didn't''t have time to do a WiP. I'm not particularly happy with him, the chest seems to be lacking somewhat and I think there's too much red, I'm thinking of trying to wash the red darker with some Devlan Mud, thoughts? The pipes on his belly lack definition too, the chests were a pretty bad cast and I'm waiting for replacements from Forge World, this was the only usable one. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/colonel_logan/SAM_1059_zpsae500ca2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/colonel_logan/SAM_1060_zps590b0d67.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
