Claws and Effect Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I put my Shrike on his wall. When I get home I'll measure how tall he is and let you know. Then you can trim a piece of sprue to that height to use for LOS purposes if someone has a problem with it. Essentially if you can see the piece of sprue you can see him. Problem solved. thewarriorhunter 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/26/#findComment-5431634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 That's my eventual solution in case an opponent complains about the model. I'll probably make something that's as tall and roughly as wide as the model. if they have a complaint we'll hold that up to see.

duz_ Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Thx Dracos and Johan If I'm lucky I'll get some more done this evening which will just leave the tidy up and weapons :D As for you others being so helpful you ruined my surprise I have purchased a base for him to go on. This was always the plan I just didn't have the funds to spare earlier. Also shipping from this mob is fixed price (and expensive) so finding balance between ordering too little and too much to minimise the shipping price per unit limits how often I order. Anyhow anyone who complains with him on this base can stick it. Hopefully it shows up in the next week. My anvil industry order I did at the same time already arrived!

duz_ Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Well got some progress done this evening finished the highlighting on the main chassis and turret, tidied them up a bit too. Started the weapons as well so almost finished. Biggest bits left outstanding will soon be the plasma gun, grav plates and turbine exhausts MithrilForge, Xenohammer and Shadow Captain Vyper 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/26/#findComment-5432031 Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Thx Mithril this was way easier to highlight than the marauder though :lol: So I'm calling it effectively done for now! Just need to do the grav plates and plasma when I get the airbrush out next! Next question back to marine infantry, tiny planes or leman russes... /ponders varchilde, Hiroitchi, Xenohammer and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/26/#findComment-5433638 Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Thx BF A little more progress in on the Eliminators today Got the skins and eshin greys done including washing and highlighting Another new skin formula Celestial base then celestial, ulthuan and pallid Wych flesh mixed together and then did a 2 parts medium, 1 drakenhof, 1 sepia wash Probably should have stuck to the skin tone wash instead of the sepia as it gives it a slight green tone but I'm OK with it probably needs a quick dry brush to finish off the skin So on to the edge highlighting before going to the store to get some contrast paints Oh and my bases showed up yesterday and got them washed today ready for airbrushing Dracos and Xenohammer 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/26/#findComment-5435289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Got some contrast paints today and tried out my idea... C&C welcome! Not 100% what I was going for but close enough and was relatively quick and easy. Painting with contrasts is weird and counter intuitive. The blue I got was probably too bright so I knocked it back with some drakenhof blue wash. I was going to do some light dry brushing and or a transition line. I attempted the later and I couldn't get the dynamism I was after so stopped. I'm not sure silver dry brushing will help either so I'll leave it as is for now..

thewarriorhunter Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I think they look good. Most of this type of transition has that bright white line you're talking about but I actually think the black line is very cool. It conveys a sense of subtly changing instead of the bright flash of transition that screams 'NOW YOU SEE ME NOW YOU DON'T!' duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/26/#findComment-5436528 Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Thanks! Takes practice and isn't perfect a few things I've learnt in the last year or so when it comes to edge highlighting: Paint consistency - you want it slightly thinner than usual (but not too runny) so it applies easier Having a wet palette really helps maintaining that goldilocks consistency once you've got it Bracing! My hands aren't the steadiest either however I have a couple of painting handles that help me get a good grip on the model and then with my painting hand it's always touching the gripping hand or model some how (occasionally very awkwardly) this helps negate some of the wobble as your hands are wobbling together now :lol: Having heard a lot of people rave about the winsor series 7 brushes for years I bought one earlier this year and yes it's pretty awesome for highlighting I don't think I could have achieved the same standard with the same speed with the GW ones and they're not that more expensive Touch ups will always be required ;) Finally the cliche...

thewarriorhunter Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I've got a W&N and it is great. Recently my buddy turned me on to Rosemary and Co. They've got a variety set of 10 brushes for minis for $50 shipped to the US. Quality is on par with W&N and you get to try out a bunch of different hair ties and sizes. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/26/#findComment-5438575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
