darkhoras Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Still in WIP, but here is a latest results. First of all, Astropath. Undercoat done with Vallejo Surface Primer 73.600 (White). Shading was done with Vallejo Surface Primer 73.603 (German Panzer Grey). With Cadian Shock Troops I follow the same paint scheme described earlier, only now I applied 2 coats of wash (Reikland Fleshshade). This will make shade more deep.

darkhoras Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Company Commander ready! I know that stubble requires more work. Will try something different in future. Also, something in face scheme dosn't like... Can't say exaclty what :-) Feedbacks are welcome!

darkhoras Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 WIP of Regimental Standard bearer. Fatiques are a little bit brighter than other troopers has, but it is specialy designed, so enemy can know that this person is important and has important role on the battlefield! (Honestly, I just took wrong colour. I used Vallejo Model Air 71.075 Sand (Ivory) instead of Vallejo Model Air 71.074 Radome Tan). But I like first variant of explanation. :-) Also, I used other method for face: * Base: Citadel Dwarf Flesh * Wash: Citadel Reikland Fleshshade * Re-base: Citadel Dwarf Flesh * Highlight: Citadel Screaming Skull Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345591-cadia-astra-militarum/page/2/#findComment-5266894 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxom Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Great stuff! Are you currently putting anything on the decals? Some look "raw" and crinkled and others like there may be a layer of varnish on them (it may be the lighting?). darkhoras 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345591-cadia-astra-militarum/page/2/#findComment-5273984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhoras Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Great stuff! Are you currently putting anything on the decals? Some look "raw" and crinkled and others like there may be a layer of varnish on them (it may be the lighting?). On the latest models I use next method: * Apply Vallejo Gloss Varnish * Apply Vallejo Decal Fix * Put decal on model * Apply Vallejo Decal Medium * Apply Vallejo Matt Varnish I have issues that decal doesn't cover full surface, than I try somehow cut / spare decal, so it can be applied fully to surface. But, I am still newbie regarding decal stuff.

jaxom Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) You may need more coats of the decal medium. That should be breaking down the flat backing which has crinkled up and leave the pigmentation. I recommend How to Apply Decals with the Vallejo Decals System (I linked directly to the part on decal medium); I found it very useful even if using Microscale Microset and Microsol which I use. I leave the microsol (equivalent to decal medium) to dry for about 40 minutes between coats.
