That is sick.

[Jønke]

Thanks Spagunk! It was really easy – after all the base colours were done I gave it a gloss varnish, sprayed it all over with AK Interactive Dark Brown enamel wash, waited a few minutes and wiped it off with an old t-shirt. Took about 15 minutes to do all parts.

 

This sounds suspiciusly easy! Looks awesome!

The advantage of the enamel washes is they're oil based so take a long time to dry, allowing you to rub them off from where you don't want them and leave them where you do. You do need a good gloss coat before you spray them on. Great for larger models and a weathered look, not sure how well it would work on infantry.

[Jønke]

Is it spray based or did you airbrush it on?

[LutherMax]

Is it spray based or did you airbrush it on?

Airbrush – it comes in a 35ml bottle (http://ak-interactive.com/v2/?product=dark-wash-for-green-vehicles)

You'll need odourless thinners or white spirit to clean the airbrush as it's not water-based.

[Jønke]

Noted. Thx. Might be usefull for the knights i have in stock. Looking forward to see your end result.

I finished the first part of Vow #4, the company captain.

The scribing on the chest is a nice touch. Consider it stolen!

This is coming along really, really well! I think doing Gerantius war the right choice all along! Love the work on the weapons too! :yes:

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

One calendar month remaining!

[Charlo]

Well that went fast

Impressive! Good model to points ratio to and it's above not only the BA average but the ETL one too. In short, I approve of this message

[SM1981]

If I had more time there would be a Jump Pack Chaplain and Jump Pack Libby there too, but at this point I'd rather play it safe and bag the points. Have 2 kids birthdays this month and a trip to Dublin planned so time will be tight as it is!

 

Keep up the charge brothers - All this talk of being in 3rd makes me think we should be aiming for 2nd (atleast)!

Vow update:

 

Finished all the building and magnetizing tonight. Primer and finish basecoating tomorrow.

[Captain Semper]

Well done SM1981 and good luck! :) Also could you rearrange your signature to comply with B&C rules? If you just put the badges in line instead of one on top of the the other will suffice. :)

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[SM1981]

Yep - Sorry.

 

Cropped it back to whats important right now - ETL !!!

That's some great weathering Aubéron. What's your technique?

[evildrcheese]

One month remaining?!

 

*Looks at models still to paint*

It's still doable. Any corners you can cut to make it easier?

Aub.

Magnificent as always. Have you ran out of models yet? :p

[Aubéron]

No, I stil have enough model for all my life.

and I alway buy... ;)

 

For the weathering it's simple. I tap with foam blister soaked in gray and black paint on the reliefs of the figurine. And that's all. No very difficult.

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

You mix grey and black to make a very dark grey or you do two layers? Great results with a simple technique!
