UltraRich Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Well after a bit of a break Im back at the painting table I missed this years AoP so lets look at this as building for next years! Im a bit rusty at blending but hopefully the next couple get smoother http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_7558_zpsv6fgzo3u.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_7554_zpsk7oxorw6.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_7553_zpsfyoyhhvt.jpg Edited October 9, 2017 by UltraRich WarriorFish, The Ergonomic Enginseer, robofish7591 and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303832-small-ig-and-scion-force/page/18/#findComment-4904691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yay he's back! :D Looks great as always UR! Is that a count as Harker? Yeh I missed AoP this year... I really need to work on my board well.enough in advance for next yrs. That's always what lets me down. I need to step up my blending game... Do you use just standard GW brushes and water? Or do you use medium with the paint too?

UltraRich Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Afternoon Yep, back in the trenches for a bit so you should see a lot more from me over the next month Im blending with normal GW paint and brushes but using a wet pallet and sometimes medium to keep the paint wet. One trick I use if its a big area like a pad is to put the paint on with brush A, then feather it into a blend with brush B which has no paint on it but is slightly damp. If you then hit it all with a wash of ink/medium it smooths it all out completely duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303832-small-ig-and-scion-force/page/18/#findComment-4904723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks! That brush tip is really handy! I had a sneaking suspicion as my paints slowly dried and change consistency on me that a wet palette would help. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303832-small-ig-and-scion-force/page/18/#findComment-4904743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustardParty Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 This is really hard hitting stuff right here. Outstanding and extremely inspirational. I love the way your paint up your heads. Can I ask about your weathering? Do you use oil paints to do your streaking? Do you need to protect the undercoat with some kind of sealant first?

Can I ask about your weathering? Do you use oil paints to do your streaking? Do you need to protect the undercoat with some kind of sealant first? Thanks Guys Theres a link to a tutorial somewhere at the start of the Valk arc of the thread but basically its paint it, seal it with purity seal, then use ink to wash it. The ink can be moved around or rubbed off as its on a layer of varnish. Then seal again and highlight as required. I used the same technique on the taurox below and a couple of tanks. I dont use it on miniatures though. Just be careful when using seal after the wash. I used it on the mini below after adding alcohol and pigment to the tyres and I got a slight white frost on them. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_7328_zpszp49sxg9.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_7330_zpsi6yt5hjy.jpg Silas7, robofish7591, WarriorFish and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303832-small-ig-and-scion-force/page/18/#findComment-4905914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Taroux is looking good! :tu: GW did a real disservice painting them in that drab blue... :facepalm: What do you use to seal your models?I will need to start doing that to mine too shortly...

Tyr13 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hm, just curious, what conversion kit did you use for that Taurox? And are the closed up windows custom?

UltraRich Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hi duz. The seal is standard gw purity seal Tyr13 the kit is the zinge industries kit. The windows come with that kit. I think thwy should be painted as glass (they have wipers on them) but i think they look better as hatches duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303832-small-ig-and-scion-force/page/18/#findComment-4906020 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallarn Commander Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Ultra Rich, wonderful paint job and some very dynamic poses! Is the pointing trooper wearing Anvil Industries pouches?

Thats the first one Ive covered in pouches as i think if you stick them on the pads and boots (Ive seen that elsewhere) they look a bit big. I'll paint it up next week and see how it looks with the IG armour duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303832-small-ig-and-scion-force/page/18/#findComment-4923009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Thanks! For what its worth, the trooper with a lot of pouches looks good to me. He reminds me of the 40mm grenade load bearing vest our squad's M203 launcher wore (10th Mountain Division Light). Also, our long range recon troopers in our division-who occupied the barracks floor beneath me-always wore load bearing vests gear that look a lot like that worn by your trooper. We usually carried a dozen or so 5.56 magazines each but the LRRPs had to carry a lot more mags since they were out beyond the logistics network.

UltraRich Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 My new target is one trooper a week That may not sound like much but its quick for me as i dont get that much time to paint any more and when I do I want to go into detail. This weeks is one of the FW Vets I find painting resin much harder than plastic due to the sharpness of all the moulds. Sometimes you cant get the highlights thick enough. This guy also had an odd shaped head and the mouth was badly moulded. Thats why he looks like hes been punched in the face http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_7610_zpshzeavtgw.jpg I should get a few more done soon as I have a batch on my table thats almost ready. Theres still another squad behind them to do too! http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_7619_zpslbjoioff.jpg The Ergonomic Enginseer, WarriorFish, walter h and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303832-small-ig-and-scion-force/page/18/#findComment-4946900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
