Brother_Bethor Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 For me it looks like it is fully scratchbuilt from plasticard with various bits from GW models. Excellent job, BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGeils81 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hello Brothers, so I have a question for you. or a series of questions actually. In the following image, the one on the left has highlights and the other does not. so I want to add highlights, but I want them to be subtle, I most definitely don't want it to be "tron'd out" I mixed some castellan green with a bit of yellow ink and hit the edges on the green. drybrushed runefang silver on the silvery parts, auric armor gold on the gold, and a touch of kislev flesh on the head. so, what needs improvements? are the highlights enough to be noticeable but not garish? any constructive criticism would be welcome. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 The highlights on the right are barely noticeable. To keep my highlights subtle but sharp, I usually wash the armor afterwards with another layer of Biel-Tan Green or even a thinned Vallejo Black-Green ink. It also darkens the Caliban Green base coat to a shade that I like better on my Dark Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGeils81 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 One on the right has no highlights yet. Both were washed with nuln oil, I like mine a bit dark as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I think if you use your preferred wash after applying the armor highlights, it should mute them sufficiently. I never went for the idea of the Waywatcher Green glaze that Citadel recommends - it does bring up the base and bring down the highlights, but it's too green for my liking. Nuln Oil works as well as what I use, if you like them really dark. From there it's easy enough to tidy up the non-armor parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGeils81 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 DWK prep and assembly done, been raining for over a week so waiting for the humidity to go down before priming them and the pred. Started Painting asmodai, the speeder, and relic. Leadbelcher on terminator squad, speeder, asmodai, and all the extra heavy weapons...so much leadbelcher...I'll be dreaming of it tonight. And it's not done yet.. Trying so hard to finish before I start working on more vows..so many ideas! Bought a BA terminator captain to convert into a librarian in terminator armor too...I need to uninstall eBay from my iPad and phone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LokisSword Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hail brothers, far too quiet in here so thought I'd best post an update! Here's where I am with the Landraider: It's going pretty well, although it has taken far longer than I would have wanted. Edge highlights alone have taken me two nights to complete! Next up is a good coat of matt varnish through the airbrush to seal the lovely oil paints and then it'll be onto the details like the lenses, angels/scrolls and the engine block. Lascannons and heavy bolter and base coated - still got the turrent and techmarine to get based.... On wards and upwards! For the Emperor and the First! P.S Here's the boys (PiP) having a play with the LR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LokisSword Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Alvena, Thank you! I'm pretty pleased with how it's coming along - just taking a while, which is annoying! I think my next vows should be quicker, either lots of RW bikes or lots of Characters... Good luck with that much DW, I find bone really time consuming to paint. I use DropBox for my images to - but I find I need to right-click the image in the DropBox page and "Get Public Link..." and use the URL it gives you there. I forgot, someone asked what I was using as filler - It's Milliput paste (i.e. mixed with a fair bit of water and applied with a popsicle stick.

LokisSword Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Plod, plod, plog.... I'm getting there... Oh so slowly. Progress has been slow, took the wife to Stonehenge on a day off last week and the weekend and Bank Holiday with the kids. Please ignore the dirty Xenos in the background, I'm ebaying them off as I received them as payment from a friend for fixing his PC ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
