I might use a white .03mm pen and then a drop of red quickshade. I had some success just using a drop of grey on a small brush for the AI fire raptor ball turrets.

Raziel-TX Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 What white ink pen are you using? I’ve had great success with a black pen but haven’t found anything comparable for white ink. For this I used a small detail brush with lots of wiping off of excess paints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I haven't picked one up yet, just planning. I've used black 005 Micron effectively for pupils and I have two red 03 Micron that I'm intending to use for drawing crude DA symbols on 8mm DA shoulder pads. For white, Sakura makes white gel pens and there are some off brands on Amazon. There are acrylic paint pens, but I haven't seen anything with a sharp enough tip for that, mostly just something that could be useful for edge highlighting. I haven't tried any of them yet, but its something I've been wanting to try for 30k checker patterns as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel-TX Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 Gotcha. I use my black one for so much-eyes, script, panel lining. Having a good white one would be clutch for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel-TX Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 Almost done with my mini Kratos squadron. Just need to round up some bases and maybe some kind of unit markings. Pretty happy how they came out. First time using oils so that was some good lessons learned there. I need to work on better pictures. Haha.

twopounder Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Looking good. . For the pictures, I discovered that just using a white sheet of paper with a painting light directly on it works great. Even better is a large piece of that flexible poster board you can get from dollar stores. I totally forgot to pick some up when I was there yesterday, but need to grab some. Just tape it to a box and let it curve naturally and put the models on it. You photograph so close you won't see the edges. Printer paper is a bit harder but works in a pinch.

Interrogator Stobz Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Green is great!!! Whilst Black with red is HH COOL, you just can't beat 'Forest' Green. Raziel-TX 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel-TX Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Thanks gents. @Interrogator Stobz, mine will always be green…something about teaching an old dog new tricks. Haha.

Raziel-TX Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Also posted in the LI section but would like my fellow Dark Angel input to the following. How’s everyone tackling the infantry bases? I’m not too keen on doing an urban themed base and was thinking of using something to the 6mm tufts. I’m wanting something that will contrast starkly with my green Marines so either the yeti blue or the purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtrouble Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I would go for the purple-blue on the bottom right. I have thought about using purple-pink for my bases. Ended up getting some dry grass ones as a gift, so went with that instead. Raziel-TX 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel-TX Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Ended up going with a different company (gamer grass) that was ready to ship via Amazon. Getting a nice blue (6mm) and then purple/pink (2mm). Hope to have some pics this coming weekend. bigtrouble 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
