NurgleThing Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Try painting it white with red liquid or something and then just glossing the whole thing. So white, then red up to half way and then glooss. :ph34r: Hope that helps. NT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callas Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 If your Apoth. is mostly white then green and a blue can look fairly effective as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I just painted mine white (although adding a blue tind would work even better) and added some fluids (mine are red).I then added a Skull White strip to simulate light reflecting of the glass. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Obliterator/WIP/DSC00916.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you combine the two ideas, a mainly silver metal canister with a window painted on the front to show some liquid but limit the amount of work required to show it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Q- Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Folks understimate the power of Space Glass. I wonder though why it's always too much trouble for these Marines to fill their viles up to the top. The metal with window idea is cool *in theory*. Those things are so very small!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
