Noctus Cornix Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Welcome to the forum, Niteowl I hate to ask but do you think you could possibly do me a MASSIVE favor and take a picture of him laid out still on the sprue and maybe one close up of his head? I've been really thinking of getting Lorgar when I scarf up the cash, but I had some plans for him with a minor conversion. I'd just like to see what parts he comes in. I would greatly appreciate it, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Good luck with your first resin. I did mine a little while ago and it can be daunting but believe me there are people on here who can answer any questions. Have fun :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteOwl Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 No problems noctus cornix. Will these suffice?http://i.imgur.com/cLC82W9.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/URDPQ0b.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/2nAmWsS.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/2FazRdO.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/kPzX4Cw.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/s9juZPR.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/pY18cZh.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/E6nIs3M.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/MPKEKRy.jpgThe reason that some of the pieces arn't on the sprues is that they were broken when I got them.

NiteOwl Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 So the weather finally allowed me to get out and give lorgar an undercoat. I have started with his left leg. The picture is a bit blue toned but you get an idea of the grey tone I am using. http://i.imgur.com/3otgMkf.jpg Sorry for the giant picture, I am on the phone.

batu Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I like it so far Maybe you could increase the contrast a bit at some spots with a darker shade color. Just a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteOwl Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 That's a great idea! I will experiment with it and see how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helterskelter Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thats a marvellous gold/bronze, recipe please sir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteOwl Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks helterskelter! It's GW. Basecoating with warplock bronze then blending with Balthazar gold applying several thin layers up Untill pure Balthazar. Then I blend Balthazar with a 1:1 Mix of Balthazar and shining gold applying several thin layers up till pure 1:1 mix. After that I blend the 1:1 mix with shining gold applying several thin layers up Untill pure shining gold. Last but not least I blend shining gold with ironbreaker applying 2-3 thin layers for last touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The armour seems like a fairly white color, if you ask me. Is that intentional? The trim looks absolutely gorgeous though, from what I can see. Might I make a small recommendation that you take pictures just a tad bit further from the model? The close distance makes it a little fuzzy and kinda hard to see what's going on in some pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteOwl Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 @noctus: oh thanks! I actually have no idea of how to take any good photographs. Your recommendation is most welcome and hopefully my next upload will show some improvement :) And that is also why the armour looks quite white. In reality it has a more grey tone. It's complicated to explain. You will see it when I get some better photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
