Immolator Stained Glass

[sitnam]

Hello,

 

I'm hoping to pick up the new Immolator kit once my local store reopens; I was wondering what techniques and paints people have been using to paint the stained glass gun-shield.

[Brother Tyler]

I'm just guessing (since I haven't painted any stained glass gun-shields or canopies), but anyone "painting" them with the intent of achieving a glass-like result is probably using inks, washes, and other translucent mediums (including watering colors down for [more] translucence).

[Lord Grimskull]

Yeah, I'm going to try either watering down a wash or maybe contrast paint thinned with the medium. Thin coats are key!

I saw on Twitter today, someone painted all the glass panels with Lahmian Medium first before applying thin layers of contrast paints. Some colours need more than one thin layer but it looked really good.

I did have a link saved showing how to achieve this, but I can't find it now :(

 

If I find it, I'll share it here :)

Any chance you can post a link of what you saw?

I'm using Tamiya Clear Acrylics for mine.

Hope this linking is allowed. Apologies if not.

 

I was actually watching a Vince Venturella youtube video today and painting stained glass came up in 5 uses for Varnishes, and I thought of this topic.

Looks like a pretty decent result.
