Flokitheboatbuilder Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Hi all,After a 15 year hiatus from the hobby I started painting again in December and thought what better way to get back into it than grim, gritty yellow! I was aiming for these guys to look like they’d been in a long protracted battle in some dilapidated city somewhere. These took around 2 hours per model (minus drying times) and I think I could knock out a squad of 5 in around 5-6 hours now after learning a few things along the way. Thanks for looking and I hope you like them! Edited April 22, 2020 by Dosjetka Replaced link with image.

Flokitheboatbuilder Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thank you Arch, it’s relatively simple actually and as follows : Prime black 2 thin coats of Vallejo model air German red brown. Zenithal highlights with Vallejo model air white (general top down coat then spot highlights on focal areas) Very thinned filter of Vallejo model air yellow. All weathering done with oil washes of various thicknesses.

Dumah Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Very nice, brother! I love the choice to go all yellow on the helmets. It looks very good! P.S. I had a juvenile moment while reading the thread title and it made me chuckle.
